Lions rookie WR Kenny Golladay 'looks devastating in the red zone'

Aug 07, 2017

Lions beat reporter Kyle Meinke wrote Monday that third-round rookie receiver Kenny Golladay could be an impact player from the get-go, with his latest impressive performance being an "absolutely devastating" Sunday practice in the red zone.

Golladay is 6-foot-4 and not only the tallest receiver on the Detroit roster but just as tall as TE Eric Ebron. He has impressed since OTAs.

Fantasy Impact:

With the departure of Anquan Boldin, the Lions have a big red zone void to fill. Boldin led the Lions last year in red zone targets (24), red zone receptions (16) and red zone touchdowns (7). Golladay is a name to monitor this preseason and could be worth the late-round flier. There are plenty of targets to go around as well in Detroit, after three receivers saw 95+ targets a year ago.

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.
