Denver Post: He started as a last-ditch solution, but after three
weeks as the Broncos' primary tailback, Peyton Hillis might see
his role growing even more. Broncos HC Shanahan on Monday said he
envisions Hillis getting more carries out of the backfield, lining
up at fullback or on the line of scrimmage as a hybrid tight end.
Hillis rushed for 129 yards on 22 carries in Sunday's 34-17 win
over the Jets, a team that had been giving up only 78 yards
rushing per game. Hillis also has a 100-yard receiving game this
season - when he caught seven passes for 116 yards against Miami
on Nov. 2. That kind of flexibility has Shanahan thinking that
eventually the Broncos could use Hillis as the Indianapolis Colts
use Dallas Clark, who at 6-feet-3 and 253 pounds is similarly
sized to Hillis (6-2, 250).

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.
