Sep 19, 2011

Now down two important elements of their offense, the Chiefs are leaning on players such as Matt Cassel, Dexter McCluster and wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. On Sunday, none was up to the task.

Cassel threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. McCluster led the Chiefs with 51 rushing yards, but for the second straight week he lost a fumble. He also had a net of minus-2 yards on his four pass receptions.

Bowe delivered the Chiefs’ biggest play with a 45-yard pass reception. But in the second quarter, he failed to haul in a pass that was then intercepted by the Lions, ending the Chiefs’ last possession in Detroit’s side of the field.

Fantasy Impact:

McCluster could be an interesting pickup if he can overcome fumbles. He wasn't supposed to be much of a factor in the offense outside of kick returns. But, the fact the team didn't give the ball exclusively to Thomas Jones should make you realize the team probably won't count on him as a full time back.

The way the Chiefs have performed this year, it could be a situation to stay away from anyway. But, keep an eye on McCluster because he clearly has the most potential.

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.
