Vikings suspend Adrian Peterson indefinitely

Sep 17, 2014

The Vikings have placed Adrian Peterson on the Exempt/Commissioner's Permission List, "which will require that Adrian remain away from all team activities while allowing him to take care of his personal situation until the legal proceedings are resolved."

Fantasy Impact:

The team was under pressure from political and business leaders to suspend Peterson after its decision to activate him for Week 3. It looks like he will be away from the team until his legal issues are resolved. We don't expect him to play again for the Vikings this season. Matt Asiata is the clear RB1, though the team may try to get Jerick McKinnon more involved as the season progresses. Asiata out-touched McKinnon 18 to 4 in Week 2. We were expecting more rushes from Cordarrelle Patterson in Week 2, but that didn't transpire. Asiata is the player to target on waivers if he is still available. In deeper leagues, McKinnon is worth a stash as he is the more explosive player.

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.
