Times Picayune: Saints TE Jermey Shockey missed two reg...

Dec 30, 2008

Times Picayune: Saints TE Jermey Shockey missed two regular-season
games and the playoffs of the 2007 season with a broken leg. This
season, he missed 4 games with a groin problem, which resulted in
sports hernia surgery, and an ankle sprain and had 50 catches for
483 yards and no TDs, both career lows. Payton said he thought
Shockey could get back to the production he had during his rookie
season, in 2002, when Payton was the Giants' OC, when Shockey had
74 catches for 894 yards and 2 TDs. And he said Monday that he
will participate in the Saints' offseason workout program. "I'm
going to do a lot of work with Drew (Brees)," Shockey said. "I'm
going to be here working with these guys. I haven't done that in
five or six years, and I'm not saying that I didn't make the right
decision in the past. Just here, I think it would benefit myself
and the team a lot more than it would if I was playing, doing the
one up in New York. "So I'm going to still work out in Miami,
that's the normal plan, but really show my face and come around
here a lot more than I've ever done in my whole career."

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.
