Dolphins Beat: Kenyan Drake shows signs of being feature back

Dec 04, 2017

Kenyan Drake made significant strides on Sunday during Miami's 35-9 victory over the Denver Broncos. He rushed for a career-high 120 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. The highlight was Drake's 42-yard run up the left sideline for a score in the second half.

When you include Drake's three receptions, he carried the football 26 times, which also was a career best.

"I think like one time in high school I ran the ball 25 times," Drake said. "But other than that, I don't think I've ever run the ball that much in my life. I could've ran it 20 more times with how the O-line was blocking, so give all the credit to them."

Fantasy Impact:

The story said Drake has already proven to be a home run hitter with three runs of over 40 yards this season, but the next step is consistency. Drake is also looking to overcome ball security issues and prevent negative runs, the story added.

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.
