Texas WR Randall Cobb (toe) likely out Week 12; WR Kenny Stills (quad) gets MRI

Nov 23, 2020

Randall Cobb is expected to be out for least the Texans' game against the Detroit Lions, if not longer, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly. Cobb underwent a magnetic resonance imaging exam Monday, as will wide receiver Kenny Stills for an injured quadriceps.

The initial diagnosis on Stills is it isn't considered serious, per sources. The Texans are expected to re-evaluate Cobb's injury after the Detroit game to determine if he can return this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Writer Aaron Wilson tweeted Cobb's toe injury is regarded as serious enough that team could place him on injured reserve, being out at least three weeks, no roster move yet, per sources. Buried on the depth chart all season, and once a popular dynasty league fantasy pickup, Coutee ended up catching a TD with Cobb and Stills out of the game. He could move up the depth chart if both are out for Thursday's game against the Lions, which is obviously on a short week, possibly making him the team's WR3. Coutee could have some value in deeper leagues but would be hard to trust in lineups.

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.

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.
