Jerry Jones expects Felix Jones to be a 15-carry RB

Aug 17, 2011

Cowboys owner Jerry Jones was asked how he feels about Felix Jones:

"Think that he's having an outstanding camp. Have always thought that he ought to carry the ball more. Think he will. Think he'll get the ball more out in space. Last year, he played well. He didn't have injury. I think that anytime he gets the ball, he gives us a chance to make the big play. If Felix has a good year, mark this, we'll have a good year."

He was then asked whether or not Jones was a 20-25 carry RB or a 15-carry RB:

"Do you want to call his screen passes or any of his work out of the passing game carries? I think he's a guy who will touch the ball the latter number rather than the earlier number."

Fantasy Impact:

We'd like to see Jones get 15-20 touches (carries + catches). If he does, he'll be a sneaky RB2, especially in PPR leagues. It sounds like the Cowboys expect him to get around 15 carries, but it's not clear if that counts his work in the passing game.

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.
