Dallas Morning News: Cowboys RB Marion Barber (toe) mis...

Dec 23, 2008

Dallas Morning News: Cowboys RB Marion Barber (toe) missed
practice Tuesday. Barber is battling a dislocated little toe, and
he's having trouble cutting on it and dealing with the pain.
Barber had only two carries in Saturday's loss to Baltimore and
missed the second half. "A dislocation can get well," coach Wade
Phillips said. "Maybe we shouldn't have played him at all. Maybe
he would be well by now." Tashard Choice has carried 49 times for
269 yards and two TDs in the three games since Barber's injury.
But everything hasn't been positive for Choice. He botched a pitch
on an option play on a key third down in the loss to the Ravens.
"If I had caught the ball clean, I would have gotten the first
down," Choice said. "We've been working on that in practice,
because we knew how they were going to play it. We got the look we
wanted. I just didn't catch the ball cleanly. I tried to run
first."

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.
