Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is curious how all the pieces will come together this year. After completing 79% of his passes with a 130.1 passer rating during the preseason, he has reason to be confident.

"Greg (Jennings) had a bigger role last year when [TE Jermichael Finley] went out," Rodgers said. "Greg started a little bit slow and ended up exploding with a 1,300-yard season, a Pro Bowl season. So he's a guy we want to step up and take a lead role. With J-Mike back, it will be interesting to see how defenses play us.

"If they try to double him or double Greg and play some sort of special coverage to take one of those two guys away, then Jordy (Nelson), James, Donald (Driver) and Randall need to win one-on-one battles."

Fantasy Impact:

This could be a bit of bad news for Jennings owners if they were expecting a season similar to last year. With Finley back and poised for a monster season, Jennings' success will be based on how defenses decide to handle the Packers attack. We still rank Jennings in our top-10 among WRs, coming in at 9th, but it's something to keep in mind if you haven't drafted yet.

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.
