Veteran Texans receiver Kevin Walter had one catch for ...

Sep 06, 2012

Veteran Texans receiver Kevin Walter had one catch for 9 yards in preseason. Lestar Jean (eight) and Keshawn Martin (seven) had more receptions.

But don’t expect any changes in the lineup. Walter will be starting opposite Andre Johnson.

“Kevin’s one of the most underrated guys we’ve got,” quarterback Matt Schaub said. “He’s always in the right spot, does everything a thousand miles an hour. He does so much for us in the run game.

“In the pass game, if you put it in a spot, he’s going to go make the play. He’s going to make you look good as a quarterback. I’ve got a ton of confidence in him. … It’s just good to see the young guys step up and play a role, because we needed to see what they were going to do.”

Fantasy Impact:

Walter has had a very quiet preseason but could be a factor in PPR formats. In 2007 and 2008, he had back-to-back seasons of 60+ catches and 800+ yards, getting 106 and 95 targets, respectively. Since then, he hasn't seen more than 80 targets in any given season.

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.
