RB Mike Tolbert signs 4-year deal with Panthers

Mar 19, 2012

RB Mike Tolbert agrees to 4-year deal with Panthers.

Fantasy Impact:

The Panthers appear intent on cornering the running back market. Last summer the Panthers inked DeAngelo Williams to a 5-year, $43M contract. The Panthers also have Jonathan Stewart for one more year on his rookie deal, not to mention second-year QB Cam Newton who ran for over 700 yards and 14 TDs in his rookie season. Enter Mike Tolbert, a former Chargers running-back who excels in short-yardage and goal line situations as well as the passing game.

It is logical to assume the Panthers will look to deal Jonathan Stewart and move forward with Mike Tolbert and DeAngelo Williams in their backfield. If all three remain on the roster come fantasy draft time, this should be a hands-off situation with far too many mouths to feed. Workload was already a problem for Panthers rushers before the addition of Tolbert.

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.
