Orton taking number-one snaps at Broncos camp

Aug 01, 2011

Tim Tebow is in a serious quarterback competition all right. He and Brady Quinn are neck and neck in the battle for the No. 2 quarterback spot.

Based on the way the reps were divided during the Broncos’ full-pad practice Monday, Kyle Orton is the Broncos’ No. 1 quarterback free and clear. There was no mixing in the other quarterbacks with the first-team offense. Orton took them all.

Occasionally, the veteran Quinn, the team’s No. 3 quarterback all of last season, mixed in ahead of Tebow with the No. 2 offense, although it still appears Tebow is the No. 2.

Fantasy Impact:

It seems like an Orton-to-Miami trade is becoming less likely. The Broncos, under Fox, want to run the ball more so, regardless, Orton's value will take a hit this year and those expecting to grab Tebow will have to wait it out a bit more. We had Tebow ranked 19th among our QBs, a sneaky QB2 option based on the potential rushing yards and TDs he could rack up. This situation needs some more time it looks like...

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.
