49ers RB Carlos Hyde has concussion

Aug 28, 2016

In Friday night's preseason game against the Green Bay Packers, 49ers RB Carlos Hyde was diagnosed with a concussion after rushing four times for 30 yards in the first quarter. According to 49ers coach Chip Kelly, Hyde is now in the NFL's concussion protocol and must clear all of the requisite tests to get cleared to return.

Fantasy Impact:

The story said it would make Hyde unlikely to play in the preseason finale Thursday in San Diego, not that he was necessarily going to appear in that game anyway. The goal now will be to get Hyde fully healthy and ready for the season opener on Sept. 12, which is Monday night. Shaun Draughn, who is Hyde's primary backup, has not played in either of the past two exhibition contests because of a rib injury though that isn't believed to be long term. Mike Davis and DuJuan Harris are next up on the 49ers depth chart.

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

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.
