Giants fire HC Ben McAdoo, GM Jerry Reese

Dec 04, 2017

Ben McAdoo's stint as head coach of the New York Giants is over.

The Giants fired McAdoo on Monday following a tumultuous week spearheaded by Eli Manning's benching and the team's loss to the Oakland Raiders, a source informed of the situation told NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.

The team also fired GM Jerry Reese, according to other reports.

Fantasy Impact:

Steve Spagnuolo, a former Rams HC, will be the interim coach. It seemed after benching Manning, the writing was on the wall for McAdoo. Owner John Mara came out and said changes would be coming, and there were "no guarantees" McAdoo would make it through the season. The Giants were coming off an 11-5 mark just last season and had high hopes for this year. Prior to that, McAdoo was the Giants OC under Tom Coughlin in 2014-15, the team went 6-10 both seasons.

As for Reese, he took a ton of heat for his refusal to upgrade the offensive line heading into this season. The New York Daily News reports just 10 of Reese's 43 draft picks from 2010-15 remain on the team.

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.
