The way owner Stephen Ross and GM Jeff Ireland tell it,...

Mar 28, 2012

The way owner Stephen Ross and GM Jeff Ireland tell it, incumbent quarterback Matt Moore seemingly has the edge to be the Dolphins' starter in 2012.

"I'm very excited about Matt Moore," Ross said Monday at the NFL owners' meetings.

"There's a lot to be said of Matt Moore and what he was able to accomplish last year," Ireland said.

New coach Joe Philbin, though, doesn't quite see it that way.

The Dolphins recently signed former Jacksonville starter David Garrard to a one-year contract, and Philbin is ready to give him a full shot to win the job.

"It's going to be an open competition. We told both guys that," Philbin said Tuesday. "I told David, my only obligation to Matt Moore is he's a member of the 2012 Dolphins. He's under contract, he played well last year and he deserves an opportunity to compete for a starting job, just like David does."

Fantasy Impact:

Moore posted 2497 yds, 16 TDs & 9 INT in 13 games, which prorates to 3073/20/11 over a 16-game season. Those are QB19 numbers, but he (or Garrard) will have a tough time matching them without an influx of talent at WR. Losing Brandon Marshall really hurts Miami's offense.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

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.
