Falcons WR Roddy White had his knee drained in the offseason

Sep 10, 2014

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Roddy White revealed he had his left knee drained this offseason, but the 32-year-old veteran expressed no concerns about it affecting his play moving forward.

White, who appeared to bang the same knee during Sunday's 37-34 overtime win over the New Orleans Saints, declared himself "fine" and said no MRI was required after his latest bout with the knee. A member of the medical staff reached out to touch White's left knee as he winced in pain following a 39-yard catch and fall. He exited the field moments before halftime but was back in the lineup for the second half. White played 67 of 72 offensive snaps and finished with five catches for 72 yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact:

We did notice White limping in the 2nd quarter but he seemed fine after halftime. This is something to monitor as the season wears on. Owners who are jittery about aging players with knee problems should be able to get good return on White after a strong Week 1 performance. We aren't too worried about this, but injuries seem to be piling up for White, who is usually extremely dependable.

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.
