Roethlisberger would miss game for birth of son

Nov 12, 2012

Ben Roethlisberger will soon be a father for the first time. And while the Steelers hope he and his wife will welcome into the world a healthy baby boy, they also hope the child is born on a weekday.

On Friday during an interview on the Dan Patrick Radio Show, the Steelers quarterback said he will be with his wife when their son is born. When asked what the couple will name their son, Roethlisberger said ”I’ll let you know in like two weeks.”

Fantasy Impact:

Fantasy owners are hoping it's a weekday as well, but if it's a Sunday, Ben apparently has the support of teammates, coaches and upper management. The official due date isn't known, but the Steelers play the Ravens on Nov. 18, and are at the Browns on Nov. 25. If Ben misses a game, Byron Leftwich would get the start and the Steelers would probably go run-heavy in what are favorable rushing matchups. It's something owners should plan ahead for...

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.
