Lions OC Scott Linehan also said running back Joique Bell is earning himself more touches every week with continued good play in both the run and pass game.

Bell’s 67-yard run in the fourth quarter was the longest of the season for the Lions and set up a Jason Hanson field goal that gave them a 33-21 lead at the time.

“I think we talked about how he did in preseason,” Linehan said of Bell. “The more he played, the more he produced and that hasn't changed. It's been that way all year. The way he ran the ball and has been playing certainly gives him an opportunity now, I think for more opportunities.”

Fantasy Impact:

Bell has 335 rushing yards (5.7 avg) and 333 receiving yards this season with three touchdowns. Mikel LeShoure had 21 carries for 57 yards and a TD last week, so don't be surprised to see Bell cut into those carries, at least a bit more after going for seven carries and 81 yards last week. LeShoure is still the guy to own in standard leagues, but Bell can have some PPR value, especially in deeper leagues.

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.
