Cincinnati Enquirer: The Bengals have changed the guard...

Oct 05, 2008

Cincinnati Enquirer: The Bengals have changed the guard this
season at tailback. Chris Perry, their 1st-round pick in 2004,
took over as featured back from Rudi Johnson, who was cut at
preseason's end. Dede Dorsey is out for the season with a
hamstring injury. The Bengals terminated the contract Saturday of
their leading rusher from 2007, Kenny Watson, though Watson is
expected to be re-signed soon. But the biggest move was the
addition Tuesday of the 2005 draft's #4 overall pick Cedric Benson, who had three star-crossed seasons in Chicago before being
cut loose in June. Benson made his Bengals debut Sunday at Dallas,
running 10 times for 30 yards, including an impressive streak of
six consecutive carries in the 2nd quarter for 25 yards. "I want
to get more in-depth in the playbook and play better and get a
bigger role," Benson said after the game. "I was pretty pumped up
after getting the first couple of touches." Lewis liked what he
saw. "Cedric did some good things running the football," Lewis
said.

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.
