49ers WR Marquise Goodwin to be a game-time decision

Sep 21, 2018

Eric Branch reports 49ers' coach Kyle Shanahan declared Marquise Goodwin (quad) a game-time decision for Week 3.

Fantasy Impact:

It has been a frustrating year for Goodwin and his owners. The frustration may continue if he can't play in a cherry Week 3 matchup against a beleaguered Chiefs pass defense. Should the speedster see the field, he is a WR3 with a massive ceiling. The current total for the game sits at 55 points, which is the largest number of any game this week. A shootout is in order, so even if Goodwin doesn't suit up, there is value to be had among 49ers pass-catchers. Pierre Garcon would see a solid bump, perhaps to low-end WR2 status. Tight end George Kittle, already a top-10 option this week, would likely benefit from a higher target floor. Beyond those two, it gets sketchy, with Goodwin's backup Dante Pettis the most likely beneficiary. He has done little in Goodwin's stead thus far, but there would be worse WR4/WR5 dart throws this week.

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.
