Ravens RB Kenneth Dixon (MCL) to miss 4-6 weeks

Aug 28, 2016

Baltimore Ravens rookie running back Kenneth Dixon is expected to miss four weeks with a medial collateral ligament tear in his left knee that will not require surgery, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Dixon, a fourth-round pick, was the Ravens' best runner this preseason, leading the team with 107 yards rushing and a 4.9-yard average. He was injured in Saturday night's preseason game against the Detroit Lions late in the second quarter, when defensive tackle Haloti Ngata fell on Dixon's left leg on a goal-line run.

The news that Dixon could miss the first couple of weeks of the regular season confirms what coach John Harbaugh said after Saturday's game. “Does not look like an overly serious injury," Harbaugh said.

Fantasy Impact:

Dixon had just moved up the depth chart, getting some reps with the first team Saturday night and becoming the second running back to get into the game behind starter Justin Forsett. With Dixon sidelined, Terrance West could get additional carries. West started camp on fire but has since cooled off with Dixon moving past him. This is Dixon's third injury since being the 134th player drafted this year.

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.
