Randy Moss signs one-year deal with the 49ers

Mar 13, 2012

Randy Moss is back in the NFL.

The veteran wideout showed the 49ers enough in a Monday workout that the team decided to sign him to a one-year deal.

San Francisco HC Jim Harbaugh, a longtime NFL quarterback, threw passes to Moss for 15 minutes, per CSNBayArea's Matt Maiocco. Evidently that was enough to convince team brass (gold?) that Moss was the man to open up a rather vanilla passing game that ranked 29th (183.1 ypg) in 2011.

Moss, who turned 35 last month and also recently worked out for the Saints, retired prior to the 2011 season after splitting a frustrating 2010 campaign between the Patriots, Vikings and Titans. Since he was not under contract in 2011, he did not have to wait until Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET to sign a new contract like most NFL free agents.

Fantasy Impact:

We aren't expecting too much from the 35-year-old Moss, though he is a physical freak and is capable of producing when motivated. The 49ers simply don't throw the ball enough to keep him happy.

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.
