Bills WR Robert Woods runs with second team vs. NYG

Aug 04, 2014

Bills WR Robert Woods is seen as a starter by the coaching staff and by most fans. So to see him running with the second unit in Sunday night’s season opener came as a bit of a surprise.

“A little bit,” admitted QB E.J. Manuel. “It was a little surprising for Woody not to be with us with the ones, but he did great. Woody is going to be Woody with whatever he’s given. So I was still glad to see him go out there and do a great job with Jeff.”

Woods did have a solid outing with four catches for 49 yards and the team’s only touchdown converting on a 4th-and-goal play from the Giants’ two-yard line.

For Woods it wasn’t a big deal.

“It is what it is. You come out here and make plays whenever you’re on the field,” he said. “Every time I come out here I just try to prove a point. Every day is an example and just proof why I’m here.”

Fantasy Impact:

Leading up to the game, many viewed rookie Sammy Watkins and Woods as the starters with Mike Williams as the WR3. But it was Williams and Watkins who were on the outside for the Bills. Manuel just missed Williams on a potential TD pass. We'll continue to watch to see if there is any more to this...

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.
