Mlive.com: The Lions could be faced with some tough decisions at
QB for the next several weeks. Dan Orlovsky got his first NFL
start in Sunday's 12-10 loss to the Vikings and it appears he
might be starting again next week against the Texans. Lions
management has refused to answer any questions about the long-term
health of QB Jon Kitna, who missed all of last week with back
problems. Kitna had an MRI and also consulted a spine specialist,
but the Lions refuse to discuss details of Kitna's health. Kitna
did not make the trip to Minnesota. Lions coach Rod Marinelli said
the organization would huddle Monday morning and discuss Kitna's
future. While Orlovsky has been the backup all season, he's on a
one-year contract. Drew Stanton, last year's second-round draft
pick, appears to be the future of the team. Stanton finally is
healthy after spraining his right thumb in the preseason and took
half the snaps in practice last week. If Kitna is going to miss an
extended period of time, the Lions will have to make a decision of
when -- or if -- to make the switch from Orlovsky to Stanton.

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.
