Matthew Stafford to have MRI on re-injured leg

Sep 23, 2012

The status of Lions QB Matthew Stafford for Detroit's Week 4 game vs. Minnesota is uncertain after a right leg injury forced him from Sunday's 44-41 overtime loss to the Titans.

Stafford said the injury happened during practices leading up to Sunday's loss –- he didn't identify which workout –- and that the injury bothered him throughout the week. Stafford said his pursuit of Titans CB Alterraun Verner after Verner's interception late in the fourth quarter was the final straw.

“I felt [the injury] during a couple of plays,” he said. “I was trying to sit on a heat pack to try and keep it loose and warm. On the play trying to go after [Verner], I felt like I couldn't [run fast]. I felt like if I tried to [run] it would have been a lot worse than it is.

Stafford said he wasn't sure which muscle in his leg was injured, and that he will undergo an MRI for further diagnosis.

Fantasy Impact:

Shaun Hill would be a very capable fill-in if Stafford has to miss Week 4.

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

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.
