Orlando Sentinel: Fantasy football geeks that figured they made a
shrewd move picking up Tampa Bay RB Carnell "Cadillac" Williams
better not plan on a big comeback Sunday. Williams may not even be
active when the Bucs play at Detroit. "It's not just about
Cadillac," HC Gruden said after practice Wednesday. "It's about
our team. "While Williams is back from his devastating knee injury
of '07 and available, Gruden could not say for certain the 2005
NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year would see action against the
Lions and the league's worst rushing defense. The run of injuries
across the board have depleted personnel for the kicking-game
units. Besides Graham, the Bucs also have lost rookie LB Geno
Hayes to IR after the former Florida State star and 6th-round pick
suffered a knee injury suffered against the Vikings. Hayes was a
fixture on special teams, having blocked a punt and returned it
for a TD in a huge victory over rival Carolina last month.
Activating Williams, who does not play special teams, might be a
luxury the Bucs can't afford right now.

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.
