Mike Holmgren restated his commitment to QB Colt McCoy ...

Mar 21, 2012

Mike Holmgren restated his commitment to QB Colt McCoy Tuesday. It was the second time the Browns’ president expressed confidence in McCoy since the unsuccessful attempt to move up to No. 2 in the draft.

We should all grasp, by now, the reality of McCoy and Seneca Wallace being the primary quarterbacks in a training camp competition. Any rookie brought in probably wouldn’t come from the first two rounds, as Holmgren and GM Tom Heckert have pledged to use the draft to support their present quarterbacks with an upgraded surrounding cast. You don’t support your quarterbacks by adding another high in the draft.

McCoy certainly didn’t have the horses around him last year and was forced to learn the West Coast offense on the fly because of the owners’ lockout. The fact Pat Shurmur was in his first season as head coach and did not hire an offensive coordinator exacerbated McCoy’s development. Now Shurmur should have the worst behind him and seasoned coordinator Brad Childress is on hand to help.

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.
