Joe Mixon (migraines) has not practiced all week

Aug 27, 2020

According to Tom Pelissero, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon has not practiced all week due to migraines.

Fantasy Impact:

There is no word on the nature or severity of the injury, but the minor tag should temper some concerns. However, there is some speculation that in the new CBA landscape that a holdout may now take the form of a player nursing soft tissue damage injuries, or other ailments that cannot be detected by medical instruments. With that being said, migraines can be extremely painful and caused former Pro Bowl receiver Percy Harvin to miss multiple practices and even games throughout his career. Joe Mixon wants a new contract, but will probably need to deliver the type of season fantasy gamers have been hoping for in order to earn the payday his talent dictates he deserves. 2020 should be the year his production finally catches up to his top five level talent. Joe Mixon is our seventh ranked running back for the 2020 season.

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.
