Jul 22, 2012

The Akron Beacon Journal notes that Browns RB Trent Richardson is a lock to “carry a significant workload” in his rookie season and beat writer Nate Ulrich writes that Brandon Jackson is likely to be Richardson’s backup.

Jackson is the epitome of reliable when healthy, so don’t be surprised if he emerges as the team’s main backup. Before the Browns signed Jackson to a two-year, $4.5 million deal last summer, he didn’t lose a fumble or commit a penalty in four seasons with the Green Bay Packers. On the other hand, Hardesty struggled to catch the ball last year. The Browns hope Hardesty can stay healthy and live up to the expectations placed upon him as a second-round draft pick, but his medical history is an obvious concern. The Browns kept only three running backs when they cut their roster to 53 players last year. Ogbonnaya will probably be the odd man out, unless someone else gets hurt.

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

Scott Bair

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.
