Since tearing through Cincinnati’s defense for 103 yard...

Nov 23, 2013

Since tearing through Cincinnati’s defense for 103 yards on 13 attempts, the Green Bay Packers’ other rookie running back, Johnathan Franklin, has a whopping six carries in seven games. He's only played two total snaps from the scrimmage the last four games. The team has said, practically weekly, that it’d like to get Franklin and James Starks involved more. Fumbles earlier in the season didn’t help Franklin’s cause.

But this week, running backs coach Alex Van Pelt maintained that the 5-foot-10, 205-pound fourth-rounder Franklin would get another shot at some point. He could offer a different dimension.

Fantasy Impact:

If you're a Franklin owner, he may have some future value, but for now, Eddie Lacy is the clear RB1 in the Pack's offense. Franklin's body type is different from that of Lacy and Starks, so it's possible Franklin could be a change-of-pace guy in upcoming games, but his fantasy value will still be limited in your typical league.

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.
