Justin Tuck and Hakeem Nicks both appear to be in line ...

Sep 16, 2011

Justin Tuck and Hakeem Nicks both appear to be in line to play against the Rams on Monday night.

Tuck, who has been dealing with a neck injury for over two weeks, was limited in practice Thursday but Tom Coughlin said he did pretty much everything the Giants asked him to. Tuck said his "gut feeling" is that he will play, but admitted that he felt that way heading into the game against the Redskins as well. He wound up sitting out when doctors did not clear him to play.

That could possibly happen again, although Tuck practicing in shoulder pads and the team waiving DE Justin Trattou certainly point to Tuck's return.

As for Nicks, he said the swelling in his injured knee is going down and the flexibility is increasing. He jogged for a second straight day and expects to test the knee further Friday.

"If I'm feeling good like the way I'm feeling [now], I feel like I can go out there and play [Monday]," Nicks said.

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.
