Pats RB Mike Gillislee says he's back to 100-percent

Aug 22, 2017

Mike Gillislee was limited throughout the spring with a hamstring injury, and the issue flared up early in Patriots training camp.

"I just tried to burst on one of those plays at the beginning of camp and it just happened," Gillislee said at his locker Tuesday. "And I was able to get an MRI and everything was good, so I'm back today and felt 100 percent."

Fantasy Impact:

Gillislee had been limited since Aug. 2, sitting out of positional drills and team drills. He did not participate in joint practices against the Texans and has not yet appeared in a preseason game. Presumably the favorite to take over the LeGarrette Blount "big back" role, Gillislee said he was a full go on Tuesday. Just in time too, as Burkhead had a big game last week and was starting to draw a lot of attention. Burkhead didn't practice today for unknown reasons, as we reported earlier.

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.

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

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

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.
