Charlotte Observer: Panthers HC Fox remains steadfast in his
support for rookie RB Jonathan Stewart. Stewart, a 1st-round draft
pick, rushed for 21 yards on seven carries. He has 111 yards and
one TD in the past four games after rushing for 272 yards and four
scores in the first 5 games. Deangelo Williams gained more yards
Sunday (140) than Stewart has in the past month. After a slow
start to the season, Williams has been hot of late, with 464 yards
in the past five games. When asked about whether Stewart's sore
heel was hurting his play, or if he'd hit the wall that slows some
rookies, Fox said: "No, it's none of those things in my opinion.
He did miss 2 days of practice (last) week. That never helps. He
made some hard runs, and part of (the gains on) those runs were
his. "There's no doubt the bulk (of the carries went to) DeAngelo,
and it goes that way (sometimes). Probably about a month ago,
people were wanting (Stewart) to be the starter. It's a long
season and we're going to need him. He knows it and we know it. So
it's nothing he's done wrong." Fox said he's "totally happy" with
Stewart and Williams.

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.
