Cincinnati Enquirer: Bengals QB Carson Palmer hopes to ...

Dec 17, 2008

Cincinnati Enquirer: Bengals QB Carson Palmer hopes to regain
almost 100% of his throwing strength by next week. And based on
the results of his practice sessions under those full-strength
conditions, he expects to make a decision on whether or not he
will need surgery to repair his throwing elbow. "There is somewhat
of a timeline," Palmer said Thursday. "I don't want to wait too
long. Within the next couple weeks I'll know. I don't want to wait
until April, May and miss out on what's going to be going on.
Within the next couple weeks, we should know. I'll have another
MRI, and we'll check it out." Palmer originally injured the elbow
when his arm was grabbed as he was throwing a pass against the New
York Giants Sept. 21. He has not played since an Oct. 5 game
against Dallas. "I could tell in the first quarter of the Dallas
game that something wasn't right," Palmer said. "I've been
throwing a football since I was four. When something doesn't feel
right, you know. Something unusual is going on in your arm. I knew
it right away."

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.
