ESPN: Bengals WR Chad Johnson "Ocho Cinco" was back at work
Friday, a day after being sent home before the Pittsburgh game for
disciplinary reasons. HC Lewis wanted to move on from the latest
Bengals controversy, and after the team fell to 1-9-1. The latest
loss Thursday night against the Steelers was a 27-10 defeat in
which the Bengals managed just 208 yards of offense. Lewis said
the punishment fit the violation, and declined to go into details
of the incident. Ocho Cinco was late for a team meeting Wednesday
night, and then had a verbal altercation with a coach or coaches.
"I think, yeah, any time a player has a thing that occurs like
that, you let your teammates down," Lewis said Friday. "I think
any time that you have to sit a player down, it sends a message to
players, because that's the only thing they get and understand."
He said losing playing time often gets players' attention more
than losing money, although Lewis said Ocho Cinco will be fined an
undisclosed sum.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

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.
