Bucs have 'big plans' for Austin Seferian-Jenkins

Aug 10, 2015

Austin Seferian-Jenkins is starting to turn potential into reality.

The Bucs’ second-year tight end has been healthy in camp, showcasing the skills that made him a second-round draft pick out of the University of Washington. He suffered through typical rookie growing pains last fall, when injuries and erratic focus helped limit him to only 21 receptions.

“We’ve talked about Austin since he got here, what his potential will be,’’ Bucs coach Lovie Smith said. “Every day he’s on the field, he confirms that more. There’s not a whole lot to dislike about Austin — we have big plans for him.’’

Fantasy Impact:

Seferian-Jenkins seems to be getting a lot of hype this offseason, despite being in an offense with Jameis Winston, Vincent Jackson and Mike Evans. Seferian-Jenkins sure could get lost around talent like that, which could be a good thing for fantasy owners. The story didn't go into a lot of detail about the plans, but we can conclude he should see a lot of space in the middle of the field with the talent at WR, so there's upside for owners. If you're going to wait at the position, or want a high-end TE2 for your roster, he could be your guy.

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.
