Aug 17, 2011

The Cardinals are relying on players developed from within to play behind Larry Fitzgerald. Right now, the order on the depth chart is Andre Roberts, Early Doucet and Stephen Williams.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt gets a bit irked when the subject comes up. He said that the whole idea for building a team is developing the players you already have, just as the Cardinals did with Breaston — a fifth-round draft pick in 2007.

"Everybody wants to beat on the drum about a second receiver," Whisenhunt said on Tuesday, "but I think we've got some receivers that we'd like to see what they can do."

Roberts is a speedy player drafted in the third round out of The Citadel a year ago. Doucet is a tough, physical player who plays in the slot, like Anquan Boldin did, and who has been plagued by injuries since his selection in the third round out of LSU in 2008. Williams used a strong training camp to make the team last season as an undrafted rookie free agent out of Akron.

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.
