Dolphins expected to sign QB Jay Cutler to a one-year deal

Aug 06, 2017

The Dolphins and QB Jay Cutler are finalizing a one-year deal, sources tell ESPN. Two sides are expected to hammer it out shortly.

Fantasy Impact:

Based on the signing, it doesn't look like Ryan Tannehill's prognosis is very good. Cutler played for Dolphins HC Adam Gase for one season (2015) in Chicago, and he had a pretty good year: 64.4% completion, 21 touchdowns, 11 interceptions and 7.6 YPA in 15 games. He was the No. 20 fantasy quarterback that season (15.7 fantasy points per game). Keep in mind that Alshon Jeffery only played nine games that year, and with his top receiver in the lineup, Cutler was even better (16.8 fantasy points per game). If Tannehill is out for the year, and it certainly looks like he will be, Cutler will be in the QB2/streaming conversation. Miami has trio of solid receivers and added Julius Thomas at tight end. Their fantasy value should hold pretty steady, though they don't have the built-in chemistry that they had with Tannehill.

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.
