Michigan Live: Lions QB Daunte Culpepper is 2 TDs and 2 games away
from earning an additional $1 million in bonuses, but Kowalski
told WDFN-AM Detroit, his chances of cashing the 7-figure check
are about as likely as the winless Lions winning a game this
season. Detroit signed Culpepper to the veteran's minimum
($730,000) without a roster guarantee late this season, but
offered the 3-time Pro Bowler $1 million in incentive bonuses.
According to Kowalski, Culpepper, who has served as his own agent
since leaving Minnesota, only needs to meet one of five goals in
order to claim his cash prize. Three of Culpepper's incentives
are far from being met, however, the veteran QB is close to
meeting two goals, which include throwing at least 6 TD passes or
playing at least 40% of Detroit's offensive plays. Culpepper, 31,
has thrown for 4 TD passes and has started 5 games for the Lions
this season. "If he plays the final 2 games, that's seven starts
and guess what? That gets him over 40%," Kowalski said during his
weekly hour-long show, The Point After. "If he does play again, it
looks like he'll have a shot to make those incentives."

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.
