The thing that really stands out about Bengals WR Andre...

Sep 14, 2012

The thing that really stands out about Bengals WR Andrew Hawkins is his speed, wide receivers coach James Urban said. Hawkins’ quickness was a big reason he transitioned from 2011 training camp to the practice squad and ultimately the active roster.

“He’s a dynamic, explosive, quick player who creates mismatch problems for people. It’s hard to replicate his speed,” Urban said. “Until you see it for a few plays, it’s a different speed than what (opponents) are used to seeing.”

Fantasy Impact:

The Bengals have a need at WR2, and Hawkins filled that role wonderfully in Week 1. He has a ton of quickness and can make people pay in the slot. He and Jermaine Gresham will vie for targets after A.J. Green gets his. He is worth a pickup in 12 team PPR leagues.

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.
