ESPN: Brett Favre has been told by doctors that pain in his right
shoulder is from a torn biceps tendon and some calcification in
the area, but the Jets QB would need nothing more than
arthroscopic surgery to repair the injury, sources said. The
sources Tuesday also said the 39-year-old Favre might be able to
avoid an arthroscopic procedure altogether if he decides to play a
19th NFL season. While playing with what is described as a partial
tear of the biceps tendon, Favre contributed to the late-season
Jets collapse with 9 interceptions and only 2 TD passes in the
final 5 games. Favre has been encouraged to take as much time as
he needs before determining whether to return to the Jets.
According to a source, Favre is expected to deliberate for several
weeks, perhaps to allow New York time to hire former coach Eric
Mangini's successor. Mangini was fired Monday after 3 seasons.
Favre had complained about pain and seemed to suffer diminished
arm strength late in the season.

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.
