Sep 12, 2010

Frank Gore had only nine carries in a 20-17 loss here last season, and that won’t happen again. Gore will get at least double that amount as the 49ers will test Seattle’s new defensive line. The 49ers have invested in two first-round offensive linemen, and they plan to run behind LB Mike Iupati as much as possible. The 49ers are so worried about the crowd noise inside Qwest Field that they had crowd noise piped into practice this week.

On the flip side, the Seahawks want to use a controlled passing attack with Matt Hasselbeck while hoping that LT Tyler Polumbus, who is starting for injured Russell Okung, can protect his blindside. RB Justin Forsett will start for the Seahawks ahead of Julius Jones and Leon Washington. The surprise on the Seattle roster is that former Trojan, Mike Williams, who busted out in Detroit, is a starting receiver. New head coach Pete Carroll has been cleaning house with his roster, getting younger and leaner.

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.
