Oct 13, 2008

Kansas City Star: The NFL trade deadline is today, making it the
last day for the Chiefs to honor TE Tony Gonzalez's request for a
deal. The Chiefs also have tried to trade RB Larry Johnson, but
had failed to attract any interest. Not so with Gonzalez. Several
teams, including the Giants, Packers and Bills, expressed an
interest, and the Chiefs have until 3 p.m. to work out a trade.
Gonzalez's wish to end his career playing for a Super Bowl
contender rather than a rebuilding team such as the Chiefs. "He
wants to win," said CB Patrick Surtain, who was sent to the Chiefs
in 2005 after asking Miami for a trade. His request, though, had
more to do with wanting a lucrative new contract than playing for
a more successful team. "We're a very young team, and we knew we
were going through some ups and downs this year. He doesn't feel
he has many more years to play, and he wants an opportunity to
win. Who can blame him? He has every record you could want
individually, but he wants the chance to play for the Super Bowl.
"He feels he has a better chance somewhere else."

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.
