Sep 12, 2012

After missing all of training camp last season because of a contract holdout, Titans RB Chris Johnson worked with teammates and coaches this summer. He was in better shape, and more comfortable in Year 2 under offensive coordinator Chris Palmer. A year ago, Johnson just arrived with the team barely a week before the season.

When the Titans opened up the season on Sunday against the Patriots, however, the Titans looked even worse than last year in the running game. Johnson managed a measly four yards on 11 carries, and on most attempts he was hit in the backfield.

Johnson deserves some of the blame. He was often too hesitant in the team’s 34-13 loss, and he didn’t attack the hole with a vengeance. But Johnson’s line didn’t get the job done, either. They were beaten off the football and looked out of sync.

Fantasy Impact:

The Patriots appear to have a very good front seven, so Johnson owners shouldn't panic and trade him away for peanuts after Week 1.

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.
