NFL reports: It's no surprise given his performance the last
several weeks, but Vikings QB Tarvaris Jackson will start the
regular sesaon finale against the Giants. Vikings coach Brad
Childress confirmed the non-move during his Monday press
conference. The Vikings can clinch the NFC North on Monday night
with a win by the Packers over the Bears, but Childress said the
results won't dictate his strategy in terms of resting players
against the Giants. He expects Giants coach Tom Coughlin to do the
same. "That's how Tom's (Coughlin) wired," said Childress. "You
saw them play all those guys last year against New England. He has
a couple weeks off. He's not going to give them three weeks off.
You want to go into the playoffs, not unlike us, you want to go
up, be an ascending group. You want to win, (and) you want to play
your best so that when you do take that little time off you leave
with a good taste in your mouth."

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.
