At or near the top of the Dolphins’ off-week to-do list...

Oct 16, 2012

At or near the top of the Dolphins’ off-week to-do list: fixing their suddenly sluggish ground attack.

In the four games since Reggie Bush romped through the Raiders for 172 yards and two touchdowns, the Dolphins’ running game has steadily regressed.

They’ve averaged just 89.5 yards per game on 2.9 yards per carry in the last month. They ranked second league-wide in rushing after Week 2; now they’re out of the Top 10. And if you take out Bush’s 65-yard touchdown jaunt against the Raiders, Miami has averaged less than 3.4 yards per rush all season.

Fantasy Impact:

On Sunday, Miami had just 19 rushing yards on 18 attempts. Bush was a factor in the passing game, but he's still not putting up the kind of numbers fantasy owners hoped for, and he is dealing with knee injury. The Dolphins take on the banged up Jets defense in Week 8.

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.
