Oct 22, 2013

There's a "90% chance'' the Browns will start quarterback Brandon Weeden Sunday against the 7-0 Chiefs, but he's "on a short leash,'' a league source told cleveland.com Tuesday.

The source said some in the Browns' organization have grown weary of Weeden's ineffectiveness, and that they won't hesitate to play Jason Campbell if he continues to struggle.

In Kansas City, Weeden will face a relentless defense that's No. 1 in the NFL with 35 sacks -- 10 more than the No. 2 team, Baltimore. They're also first with 64 passes defensed and tied for third with 10 interceptions. They're first with nine fumble recoveries.

Coach Rob Chudzinski said his staff would meet on Monday to decide whether or not to bench Weeden, who dropped to 0-4 with his 31-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact:

Weeden may not make it out of the Chiefs game if he's on a short leash. Jason Campbell probably isn't much better of a fantasy option, which is a shame because potential fantasy starters Josh Gordon and Jordan Cameron take the biggest hit in value.

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.
