Sep 29, 2011

Torrey Smith got his first NFL start when the Ravens sat veteran Lee Evans because of an ongoing ankle injury. After each of Smith’s touchdowns, Lee Evans could be seen on the sideline congratulating the young receiver.

“I was happy for Torrey,” Evans said. “He’s put in a lot of hard work. He’s been practicing hard and putting in the work, so he deserved it.”

It seems likely that Smith will get another start Sunday in M&T Bank Stadium against the New York Jets. The Ravens have a bye in Week 5, which means that if Evans sits out the Jets game, he should be close to 100 percent for their Oct. 16 game against Houston.

“Hopefully,” he said. “That’s what we haven’t done. But it would certainly make me feel a lot better than I have. Obviously, with one week off, I feel a lot better.”

Fantasy Impact:

We like Smith as a waiver wire pickup, but the Jets are tough to throw on, so we'd be surprised if he has another good game in Week 4.

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.
