Adam Schefter believes Bengals making another push to get deal with WR Ja'Marr Chase

Sep 03, 2024

Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show: "The Ja'Marr Chase situation is tricky because he has two years left on his deal..I do believe the Bengals have made another push to try and get something done here..The question is will Ja'Marr Chase be willing to skip games."

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter pointed out the Bengals deal with Joe Burrow happened shortly after the opening kickoff of the 2023 season, and Schefter said it feels like something similar could happen with Chase this year. While he said it's going to be tricky, Schefter believes a deal will get done. Schefter also said a deal done this late into the process could mean Chase's snaps are limited in Week 1 and speculated maybe Chase just plays in the red zone until he gets back up to speed. He added the key is a Week 2 matchup with Kansas City.

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.
