Lions WR Amon-Ra St. Brown dealing with ankle injury

Sep 27, 2022

The Detroit Lions are going to be without Tracy Walker and (probably) D’Andre Swift. Now they’re hoping for the best with Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The budding star injured his right ankle in the 28-24 loss on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. St. Brown underwent testing on the ankle this week, and received “encouraging” news according to NFL Network.

Fantasy Impact:

The story sent on to say the report said: “They’ll be cautious, but if St. Brown misses time, it shouldn’t be anything long term.” To say St. Brown has been stud could be an understatement. As the story added, St. Brown injured the ankle in the first half of the game and hobbled to the sidelined, where he was evaluated by trainers for a few minutes before getting another tape job and then returning to the game. He played 57 of a possible 78 offensive snaps, and finished with a team-high six catches for 73 yards. That snapped an NFL-record streak of eight straight games with eight catches, plus a club-record streak of six straight games with a touchdown catch.

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.

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.
