FoxSports: Bucs QB Jeff Garcia, who pulled the same rig...

Dec 13, 2008

FoxSports: Bucs QB Jeff Garcia, who pulled the same right calf
muscle this week that he injured in training camp, plans to try to
start. How far he can go is up to him. And apparently coach Jon
Gruden will give him some leeway. If Garcia can't go, Luke Mccown,
who was rather sharp in practices Wednesday and Thursday, would be
the guy, not Brian Griese, whose throwing elbow continues to
bother him. This game has huge NFC playoff significance because if
the Bucs win, they virtually assure themselves a playoff spot. The
Bucs thoroughly confused Falcons QB Matt Ryan in the first meeting
of the season, but Ryan is much better right now. However, the
Falcons will want to run, especially with Tampa Bay's defensive
tackles, Jovan Haye and Chris Hovan, hurting. In fact, Garcia,
Haye and Hovan plan to take the first bus to the Georgia Dome
today in order to test themselves prior to the game. The Bucs
allowed 301 yards rushing to the Panthers, missing at least a
dozen tackles among the front seven defenders.

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.
