Asked if the New York Giants' newest receiver, Brandon ...

Sep 17, 2011

Asked if the New York Giants' newest receiver, Brandon Stokley, is a quick study, Giants head coach Tom Coughlin said, "Oh, yeah."

Stokley smiled when asked the same question.

"I'm not the brightest guy, I'll be the first to admit that, but football-wise I think I'm pretty intelligent," said Stokley, who was signed Thursday. "I think I pick up on things pretty quick. Football is football, routes are routes - at some point you just got to go out there and play. That's what I'm going to try to do if I'm playing on Monday."

There's very little "if" involved as far as the Giants are concerned. The team wants Stokley on the field Monday night against the Rams. The 35-year old, entering his 13th NFL season, likely will play in the slot.

Fantasy Impact:

While Stokley's a proven veteran, no one needs to have him in their lineup this week.

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.
