San Francisco running back Frank Gore might be averagin...

Sep 22, 2011

San Francisco running back Frank Gore might be averaging a measly 2.5 yards per carry through the first two games of the season but he will still be a main focus of the Bengals Sunday when they host the 49ers at Paul Brown Stadium.

“Frank is the offense,” said cornerback Nate Clements, who played the last four seasons with the 49ers before signing with the Bengals. “He’s a complete running back.”

The Bengals held Cleveland’s Peyton Hillis to 57 yards in their Week 1 victory but Denver’s Willis McGahee rushed for 101 yards on 28 carries last Sunday in a 24-22 Broncos’ win.

“We have to stop the run, period,” said defensive end Jonathan Fanene. “We need to stop the run and that starts from the front four, the d-line. Everybody needs to do their job, get off blocks and make plays. It all comes down to discipline.”

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.
