Still hoping there's a chance he'll play for the New York Giants this season, Osi Umenyiora is annoyed he's being portrayed as a bad guy for asking the team to renegotiate his contract.

In an email to The Associated Press on Monday, the two-time Pro Bowl defensive end said he's frustrated that some people are criticizing him because he wants the Giants to rework a contract that will pay him slightly more than $7 million over the next two seasons.

The Giants have refused to redo Umenyiora's deal. However, they have given his agent, Tony Agnone, permission to work out a trade for Umenyiora, who tied Justin Tuck for the team high with 11.5 sacks and had a league-high 10 forced fumbles last season.

Possible suitors for Umenyiora include the Seattle Seahawks, Baltimore Ravens, New England Patriots and possibly even the Atlanta Falcons, considering how aggressive they have been -- even on the heels of signing free agent Ray Edwards. The Cleveland Browns also are keeping watch over the pass-rush market.

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.
