K.J. Hamler (hamstring) will be sidelined a couple of weeks

Aug 20, 2020

According to Jeff Legwold on Twitter, Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver KJ Hamler suffered a hamstring injury In Thursday’s practice that will keep him on the shelf for a couple of weeks.

Fantasy Impact:

Explosive rookie K.J. Hamler will miss valuable time that he could have used to help convince the coaching staff to shift towards more of a three wide, pass oriented attack. Firmly behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy, Hamler should find his way to meaningful snaps at some point of this season. He will of course be the true definition of a boom-or-bust option, as he will likely spend half of his snaps functioning as a low volume, low efficiency home run threat. Our number 85 overall wide receiver for the 2020 season, K.J. Hamler remains an interesting late round flier.

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.

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.
