Noah Fant to be moved around the formation

Sep 03, 2020

According to the Denver Post, Denver Broncos tight end Noah Fant expressed his excitement at being used in different ways in offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur’s offensive scheme.

Fantasy Impact:

Noah Fant sounds excited about being a part of Pat Shurmur’s offense, saying “I’d say my favorite thing is I’m moving around a lot and he’s using me in different places — I’ll be in the slot, I’ll be in-line, I’ll be outside as a receiver.”. Fant getting looks in the slot and out wide will help to maximize his snap potential this season. Albert Okwuegbunam should push him for snaps, but Fant is the unquestioned starter. Rookie wide receiver K.J. Hamler’s injury may result in the Broncos utilizing more 12 personnel than originally anticipated, and Fant’s ability to be moved around the formation will only increase the possibility. Blessed with the skill set, size, and speed of a day two wide receiver, Fant has TE1 upside if the Broncos choose to unleash sophomore quarterback Drew Lock.

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.
