Running back Brandon Jacobs let the New York Giants res...

Aug 06, 2011

Running back Brandon Jacobs let the New York Giants restructure his contract so they could re-sign Ahmad Bradshaw. But while he's earning a smaller salary this season, he does want a bigger offensive role.

The Jacobs-Bradshaw tandem combined to rush for 2,058 yards last season, but Jacobs had just 147 carries. He'd like to touch the ball more often.

"The way I run, I could take the whole load, no question about it," he said. "But the way this league runs, you've got to have two backs. You've got to have two healthy backs in order to be able to win."

Jacobs said he would like to have "a lot of carries," ideally around 200. But winning trumps everything.

"At the end of the day, you could be rich as you want to be and not win games," he said. "That doesn't help you out."

Fantasy Impact:

Bradshaw will continue to have the largest role in the New York backfield, but with Jacobs having a nose for the end zone he'll remain a flex option in most fantasy leagues.

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.
