Bears WR Brandon Marshall speaks about his ankle injury

Oct 03, 2014

The Bears’ Pro Bowl wide receiver, who participated in practice this week for the first time since suffering an ankle injury in the season opener against the Buffalo Bills, said he feels “more explosive” and expects to be “back to the old days” when the Bears play the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Charlotte.

“I feel like I could do pretty much everything,” Marshall said Friday. “Before I couldn’t jog without pain. It feels good to be able to go out there and get back to the old days.”

“Practice is much better this week. Much better,” Marshall said. “It feels good to be back with the guys. After a while you kind of get out of shape a little bit. I felt like I got my wind back. I feel more explosive ... getting in and out of my breaks, so it’ll be hard for [defenders] to sit on me. I think I have a little more.”

Fantasy Impact:

Marshall practiced fully all week which means he's once again a confident top 10 start heading into Sunday's game against the Panthers.

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.
