Times Picayune: The Saints placed kickoff returner Courtney Roby
on injured reserve, officially ending his season with the ankle
injury he suffered in Sunday's victory over the Atlanta Falcons.
They also waived CB David Pittman to trim their roster down to 53
players. Aside from Roby's injury, he Saints are fairly healthy
heading into their quick turnaround before Thursday night's game
at Chicago. Coach Sean Payton said he hopes left tackle Jammal
Brown will be able to bounce back from a sprained ankle and that
CB Randall Gay will be able to return after suffering a
concussion. Payton said the team will be cautious with Gay but
that the follow-up tests on his condition Monday were promising.
With Roby out, the Saints might use Pierre Thomas as a full-time
kickoff returner, even though he has become a centerpiece of their
offense. Payton said this time of year, it becomes more common for
teams to use their starters on special teams when necessary.

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.
