News Democrat: Rams WR/KR Derek Stanley has a torn ACL ...

Dec 14, 2008

News Democrat: Rams WR/KR Derek Stanley has a torn ACL and torn
cartilage in his knee. Rams coach Jim Haslett said Stanley will
have surgery in the next 2-3 weeks, and it'll take 6-8 months for
him to recover from the injury. "That's a shame because I thought
the kid was coming on,'' Haslett said. "Lee Evans, another
receiver and friend of his had it, so he kind of knows what
(Evans) went through. He'll have to fight his way back. That's a
tough injury for him.'' Stanley will become the 11th player
placed on injured reserve by the Rams this season. Stanley
suffered the injury on an end around in the first quarter of the
Rams' 23-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday. Seattle's
Jordan Babineaux picked up the loose ball and ran 24 yards for a
touchdown. Haslett said that Dane Looker will return punts and
Kenneth Darby will return kickoffs in Stanley's absence.

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.
