Dolphins QB Ryan Tannehill back on the run

Aug 22, 2016

Ryan Tannehill earned high marks for his passing in the preseason game at Dallas on Friday night, but he also provided a reminder of the impact he can make running the ball.

Tannehill’s performance against the Cowboys will be remembered more for his two touchdown passes to Kenny Stills along with a 55-yard strike downfield to the same Kenny Stills, but his two runs for 16 yards played a big role in the Dolphins’ second touchdown drive in the second quarter.

Tannehill had runs of 9 and 7 yards on consecutive plays to move the Dolphins from the Dallas 49-yard line to the 33. Four plays later, Tannehill threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Stills.

Fantasy Impact:

Having a quarterback with Tannehill’s kind of mobility is something new for HC Adam Gase, who spent his three seasons as an offensive coordinator with Peyton Manning and Jay Cutler, the story said. It also added Gase seemed reluctant at first to use Tannehil in the read-option. But Tannehill was quoted in the story that it will be used more as a change of pace, but something the team will do from time to time this season.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

Scott Bair

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
