Jimmy Graham injures shoulder

Oct 05, 2014

Saints tight end Jimmy Graham suffered a shoulder injury that knocked him out of Sunday's 37-31 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Graham originally went back into the game for two series in the first half (making a 23-yard catch in traffic on his first play back).

But after several chats with doctors and trainers between series, he eventually went into the locker room for X-rays and was later ruled out.

After the game, coach Sean Payton didn't provide a specific update on Graham's status.

"The key is being able to function at full speed," Payton said. "So I think we were smart and got a chance to take a peek and decided we were gonna wait."

Fantasy Impact:

The Saints weren't very forthcoming about Graham's injury, but perhaps we can take some good news out of it that he did re-enter the game even though he eventually left for good. Per Pro Football Talk, it's a sprained shoulder and the injury isn't believed to be serious. Obviously it would be a huge loss for the Saints and for fantasy owners if Graham misses time. The Saints have a bye in Week 6 which looks like it comes at a great time.

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.
