Dennis Pitta has not returned to practice

Nov 20, 2013

Ravens beat writer Jeff Zrebiec on Ravens TE Dennis Pitta:

"I can’t speak for injured tight end Dennis Pitta, nor would it be fair if I tried. I also want to point out that Pitta hasn’t spoken to the media since he suffered the hip dislocation in training camp, so it’s impossible for us to truly know how or what he is feeling. However, we do know that Pitta hasn’t resumed practicing yet, meaning his return to game action isn’t imminent. Because of that, it’s fair to wonder how the results of the Ravens’ next couple of games could impact his potential return. The Ravens are set to embark on a stretch in which they have three games in 15 days. If they fall out of the playoff race during that stretch, could that lead to Pitta shutting his comeback for the season and opting instead to continue to strengthen his hip and make sure he is ready for 2014? Or does Pitta, who will be a free agent at season’s end, want to play regardless and show the Ravens and every other NFL team that he is healthy and deserving of a lucrative long-term contract? I don’t have the answers to those questions, but I do think it’s a situation worth following. I think everybody knew that the Ravens would miss Pitta, but I’m not sure anybody expected his absence to have this significant of an effect."

Fantasy Impact:

It appears less and less likely with each passing week that Pitta will attempt to return in 2013.

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.
