Minneapolis Star Tribune: QB Gus Frerotte was forced to...

Dec 07, 2008

Minneapolis Star Tribune: QB Gus Frerotte was forced to leave late
in the first half because of a bruised lower back and did not
return. RB Adrian Peterson fumbled the football three times and
nearly had four. And after a week of telling everyone that they
weren't about to take the winless Lions lightly, the Vikings
appeared to do just that as they fell behind after the first 30
minutes. But no matter how generous the visitors tried to be, the
winless Lions were unable to take advantage. Backup QB Tarvaris Jackson was able to rally the Vikings to a 20-16 victory,
extending the team's winning streak to three games and maintaining
its one-game lead over Chicago in the NFC North. "There was never
a sense of panic," Vikings HC Childress said. "That is what I like
about these guys. But I was very surprised that we came in and
played the way we did early based on their preparation. ... A
grind-it-out win. We will make absolutely no apologies for it."

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.
