Chiefs RB Charles has sore left knee

Sep 18, 2012

Running back Jamaal Charles didn’t play much in the second half of Sunday’s loss in Buffalo because of soreness in his knee, Chiefs coach Romeo Crennel said.

Crennel said Charles was likely to be available in this Sunday’s game against the Saints in New Orleans.

But the situation bears watching. Crennel said the soreness was in Charles’ left knee. Charles tore his ACL in the same knee last season.

Soreness in the knee is normal after such an injury and the resulting surgery.

Fantasy Impact:

Charles wanted to go back in the game and Crennel did say that Charles is likely to play this week against the Saints. This is now becoming a risky situation. After an 80-plus yard performance in Week 1, Charles wasn't effective in his time on the field in Week 2 before getting dinged up and owners can't risk single-digit fantasy points from their running backs. We'll continue to monitor Charles this week and see how he does in practices leading up to the game.

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.
