Dec 01, 2008

New York Post: Plaxico Burress signed a five-year, $35 million
contract extension prior to the season, but that doesn't mean the
Giants are seriously committed to him for the future. is a
remarkably smart deal constructed by general manager Jerry Reese
and assistant Kevin Abrams, as the bulk of the money owed is not
guaranteed, and the Giants could get rid of him without suffering
debilitating salary-cap ramifications. According to various
reports, the Giants could cut or trade Burress after the season
and get $23 million taken off their books. The Giants knew Burress
was not the most responsible character and made sure they were
financially protected. There is $11.5 million in non-guaranteed
base salaries in his contract, non-guaranteed roster bonuses of
$3.5 million, non-guaranteed escalators of $5 million based on
performance and $1.3 million in non-guaranteed workout bonuses.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

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.

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.
