Denver Post: The next running back the Broncos figure to introduce
Sunday at Carolina is Cory Boyd, who was promoted from the
practice squad this week after humbling the # 1 defense as a scout
teamer in previous weeks. "No disrespect for what those guys have
dealt with on injuries - we've had our share too and it's not easy
- but I've seen that Bronco offense over the years do it with all
kinds of backs," Fox said during a conference call Wednesday.
"I've seen them over the years plug guys in and do very, very
well. Again, I'm not trying to slight their injury situation.
That's never easy. But I think they do a fine job." Against the
Panthers and their dynamic TB duo of Deangelo Williams and
Jonathan Stewart, the Broncos figure to counter with a combination
of Boyd, Tatum Bell and Selvin Young, who is expected back from
his groin injury. During the Broncos' off day Tuesday, Boyd was
called into coach Mike Shanahan's office. For support, Boyd
brought along his fiancee. "I think he got a good feel for me, a
good vibe for me," said Boyd, a taller back whose next NFL carry
will be his first. "He just gave me the opportunity and I'm
grateful for it."

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.
