Aug 13, 2010

During his mostly successful seven-year stay in St. Louis, Mike Martz developed two Pro Bowl quarterbacks who generated plenty of aerial highlights.

But the Super Bowl-validated veteran coach -- who transformed Kurt Warner from grocery store shelf stocker to Super Bowl MVP and Marc Bulger from sixth-round pick into a two-time Pro Bowl pick -- can't help himself when he talks about his latest charge, Jay Cutler.

''He's got Kurt's awareness and intelligence, and he's got an ability to see things and react to it,'' Martz told the Sun-Times. ''But then he's got an arm I've never had before. He's thrown some balls in practice, and I say, 'Did he just do that?'''

Perhaps most impressive, Martz said, is Cutler's ability to immediately implement a newly introduced play.

''I can give him something, and he can go out there and execute it just like that,'' Martz said, snapping his fingers. ''Now that's a freak. That's unusual.

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.
