Ben Tate suffers knee injury

Sep 07, 2014

The Cleveland Browns lost running back Ben Tate to a knee injury late in the second quarter of their season opener Sunday against the Steelers.

Tate's last carry was a 25-yard run with 6:30 left in the second quarter. He went to the sideline and did not return.

No details were provided on the nature or extent of the knee injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Tate missed time with a rib injury in 2013, and missed his rookie season with a broken ankle so injuries are nothing new to Tate owners. Rookies Terrance West and Isaiah Crowell replaced Tate, and Crowell scored two touchdowns in the third quarter and looked good at times. In the game Tate looked pretty good with six carriers for 41 yards, including the 25-yarder. The Browns may have to rely more on the run as TE Jordan Cameron was also banged up in the game.

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.
