It’s been difficult to find positives about the Bills during their 0-5 start, but wide receiver Steve Johnson has quietly become a key figure in the team’s offense.

After hauling in two touchdowns from quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, his third and fourth of the season, in Sunday’s 36-26 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, the former seventh-round draft choice doubled his previous career high of two touchdowns in a season.

He finished the game with five receptions for 75 yards, both career bests.

Despite having the best game of his three-year career statistically, Johnson said the loss makes it meaningless.

“Scoring a touchdown is great,” Johnson said, “but it doesn’t mean too much when you’re scoring and you’re losing.”

Johnson now leads the team in receptions (17) and touchdowns (four), and is second to Roscoe Parrish with 214 receiving yards, but said he doesn’t feel he is any more integral to the offense than anyone else.

Fantasy Impact:

Every year receivers seem to crop up where you least expect and Johnson could be one of those guys to take a shot on. There's an obvious connection but Buffalo is one of those offenses that is risky to be a part of from a fantasy standpoint.

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.
