Colts Beat: WR T.Y. Hilton sees less snaps, but it shouldn't affect targets

Dec 17, 2019

Based on the playing time T.Y. Hilton’s been given in the past, Indianapolis altered his share of the workload. Hilton routinely took 70-80 percent of the snaps at the start of the year, but he played just 29 of 56 snaps on Monday night, right around 52 percent.

“We want to get him targeted,” Reich said. “The goal is to have him impact the game with X number of plays, and we just didn’t get that done. … No. 1, they did a good job, and then we just need to do a better job of finding ways to use one of the truly great receivers in this league.”

Fantasy Impact:

We've seen this theory in the beginning of the season with RB Christian McCaffrey - the Panthers wanted to cut back his snaps but not have it result in less touches. The Colts are trying to cut back on the time Hilton is on the field, but continue to get him the ball as much as possible.

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.
