Dolphins RB Reggie Bush on the changes in the offense from last year: “No huddle. Very up-tempo and fast-paced offense. That’s the biggest thing right off the bat. That means our conditioning is going to have to be high, and we’re going to run a lot of plays in real games. So that’s something we have got to be prepared for. We’ve got to play fast and know the system; we can’t have split-second indecision because it could mess up a play or a whole drive.”

He went on to talk about the pace (perhaps 90 plays a game): "That’s a lot of plays. I was just asking our running back coach (Jeff Nixon), ‘Is this going to be the temp in the game?’ We’re pretty fast right now, but usually we practice faster than we should play. I don’t know, we’ll see. Hopefully the tempo will go down a little bit and save some guys because that’s a lot of plays in one game.”

Fantasy Impact:

For a team to play an up tempo offense effectively, everyone has to be on the same page. The Dolphins offense could really struggle this year with lack of talent at QB and WR, and a lack of commitment to the running game would certainly hurt Bush.

Cowboys hope to get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back for Week 12

Calvin Watkins on X

Mike McCarthy said he's hoping Cowboys will get WR Brandin Cooks (knee) back this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Cooper Rush will get the start at QB again against the Commanders in Week 12. CeeDee Lamb led the way with 12 targets vs. the Texans, but it was Luke Schoonmaker, who took over after Jake Ferguson left with a concussion, who had 10 targets which was most behind Lamb. The addition of Cooks should help the Cowboys offense in what is a good matchup against the Commanders defense. For the fantasy world, Rush did end up throwing for 354 yards.

Cowboys will start Cooper Rush at QB in Week 12

Mike McCarthy said Cooper Rush "will be the starter" this week against Washington and a package of plays will be formed for Trey Lance.

Fantasy Impact:

McCarthy came out and said he regrets not giving Lance a chance to run the offense in the loss to the Texans on Monday Night, but even after that the team is going forward with Rush in Week 12 against the Commanders. One would have to assume Rush gets the start the following week as well, which is a short week and a game on Thanksgiving Day game against the Giants.

49ers TE George Kittle (hamstring) 'close' to playing in Week 11

Shanahan said George Kittle was “close” to playing against Seattle and should be able to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

It's at least a good sign Kittle is expected to practice Wednesday. The hope is he will be ready to go in Week 12. The 49ers play at the Packers, and it's in the later Sunday window so owners will certainly want to pay attention to what kind of work Kittle can get in this week at practice.
