E.J. Manuel looks to have Bills QB edge

Aug 05, 2013

Bills QB E.J. Manuel has been the best quarterback at St. John Fisher College through the first six days of practice.

Kevin Kolb has done little to cement the starting job and Manuel has looked calm in his first training camp. Without Kolb on the field, however, the ability to compare the two was not an option on Sunday. Due to that fact, Manuel's negative plays are a bit amplified and he'll be looking to come out stronger on Monday.

Fantasy Impact:

Manuel threw three picks in practice Sunday, but two were deflections and one was an incredible catch. Kolb has the experience edge, but he hasn't been all that successful in the league that it would prevent the Bills from throwing Manuel right out there as the starter. Manuel has the edge in fantasy potential for sure, but even if he's named the starter he should only a low-end QB2 at best, until we see more. Preseason games should give us a better indication as well.

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.
