Greg Jennings will miss Week 5

Oct 04, 2012

Packers WR Greg Jennings has been ruled out for Week 5.

Jennings injured his groin during the first week of the season against the 49ers. Earlier in the week, he said he was “extremely frustrated” with the injury and had hoped to get back on the field this weekend, according to ProFootballTalk.

Fantasy Impact:

Jennings missed Week 2 and most of Week 4. In those games, James Jones registered two catches for -1 yard in Week 2 and 5-56-2 in Week 4. Combined, he played 84.1% of his team's snaps and saw 14.9% of his team's targets. Meanwhile, Randall Cobb had two touches for 48 yards in Week 2, and posted 7-66 in Week 4. Cobb played 38.8% of his team's snaps and saw 13.5% of his team's targets.

Jones looks to be the better start, but he is very capable of putting up a goose egg even when everything points to the game. He should be a good start against the Colts in Week 5. Randall Cobb is flex-worthy in most formats.

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.
