As expected, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15.

The Titans expected their lead RB to play all along, […]

Charlie Jones Still Out For Bengals

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) remains out of action for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Jones didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was upgraded to a full practice on Friday before being given a questionable tag for Sunday's game. However, the 26-year-old has been ruled out for […]

Dustin Hopkins Benched In Week 15

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins is being benched in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs and is a healthy scratch on Sunday. Hopkins has missed six of his last nine field-goal chances, including two in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. As a result, the Browns added Riley Patterson to their […]

David Njoku Out For Week 15

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (hamstring) wasn't able to do enough during pre-game workouts to convince the coaching staff to play him this weekend and he's been officially ruled out for Sunday's contest against the visiting Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. The Browns said early this week that it was looking unlikely that […]

Matt Shaw Could Make Opening Day Roster

With the Chicago Cubs sending infielder Isaac Paredes to the Houston Astros in the trade for All-Star outfielder Kyle Tucker, it could give top prospect Matt Shaw a clear path to make the Cubs' Opening Day roster in 2025. If the Cubs feel Shaw needs more time in the minors, Michael Busch could be moved […]

Nestor Cortes Has Had "Fully Healthy Offseason"

Milwaukee Brewers left-hander Nestor Cortes (elbow) was out from late September until the World Series with the New York Yankees this year, but he's had a "fully healthy offseason," according to general manager Matt Arnold. The Brewers did extensive work on Cortes' medicals before acquiring him from the Yankees this week as part of the […]

Astros Serious About Trading For Nolan Arenado

The Houston Astros have emerged as a serious suitor for St. Louis Cardinals third baseman Nolan Arenado, according to multiple league sources. No deal is believed to be imminent, but talks between the two clubs have increased since this week's winter meetings started. The Cardinals have already acknowledged they are trying to trade Arenado, and […]

Rays Land Joe Boyle In Trade With A's

The Tampa Bay Rays acquired right-handers Joe Boyle and Jacob Watters, outfielder Will Simpson and a compensation Round A draft pick from the Athletics on Saturday in exchange for left-hander Jeffrey Springs, according to sources.

It's the second big addition to the A's starting rotation this offseason after they signed right-hander Luis Severino to […]

Devin Singletary Should Remain On Benches Against Baltimore

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary had a season-low two touches for eight yards in the Week 14 loss to the New Orleans Saints and should not be in any starting fantasy lineups for a Week 15 tilt against the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens defense has given up lots of big plays in 2024, […]

Van Jefferson Will Have Increased Role, Still Dicey For Fantasy Lineups

With Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) being ruled out for a second straight game, Van Jefferson will have an increased role again in a Week 15 battle on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles. In the Week 14 win over the division-rival Cleveland Browns last week with Pickens sidelined, Jefferson played a team-high […]

Allen Lazard Can't Be Trusted Against Jaguars

New York Jets wide receiver Allen Lazard made his return from Injured Reserve due to a chest injury in the Week 14 overtime loss to the division-rival Miami Dolphins and caught his only target for an 18-yard pickup. Lazard did play 78 percent of the offensive snaps, but as expected, he was the clear WR3 […]

Mike Williams Should Be More Involved, Still Avoidable In Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Mike Williams should once again be more involved in the offense in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday with George Pickens (hamstring) missing a second straight game. However, Williams still won't be recommended as a starting fantasy play in most formats in the first round of the playoffs this […]

Deshaun Watson Expected Back In Cleveland In 2025

Despite being 3-10 heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, the Cleveland Browns expect quarterback Deshaun Watson (Achilles), reigning NFL Coach of the Year Kevin Stefanski and general manager Andrew Berry to return in 2025, according to sources. Watson's role, however, is up in the air with the Browns moving forward […]

Calvin Ridley A Volatile WR2 With Great Matchup In Week 15

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Calvin Ridley enters the Week 15 matchup against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals as the WR28 in half-PPR points through 14 weeks of the season. He's coming off a seven-catch, 59-yard performance in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in which he had 12 targets, just the second time all season […]

Kyle Dugger, Christian Gonzalez Questionable For Week 15

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) and cornerback Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) are both listed as questionable to play in Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. In addition, defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy (foot) is out and defensive tackle Christian Barmore (undisclosed) is questionable. It's been an injury-plagued year for Dugger, 28, although he has been […]

Chiefs Releasing Matthew Wright, Harrison Butker Expected To Return

The Kansas City Chiefs are releasing kicker Matthew Wright on Saturday, according to a source. It means that Harrison Butker (knee) is expected to be activated from Injured Reserve to make his return in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Even though Wright was the NFL Special Teams Player of the Week in Week 14 […]

Broncos D/ST Should Be Started Against Colts In Week 15

Don't let the fact that the Denver Broncos defense allowed nearly 500 yards passing to Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston in their Week 13 win keep you from starting them in Week 15 at home against the visiting Indianapolis Colts. Despite being gashed by Cleveland's offense before their Week 14 bye, the Broncos' defense did […]

Wil Lutz Locked In As Top-10 Fantasy Kicker In Week 15

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz went from being off the fantasy radar to begin the 2024 season to being a near-weekly lock as a top-10 option at the position heading into a Week 15 matchup at home against the Indianapolis Colts. Not only has Lutz been one of the most accurate kickers in the league […]

Marvin Mims Jr. Can't Be Trusted In Fantasy Playoffs

Although Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. had over 100 yards receiving and his second touchdown in the last three games in the Week 13 win over the Cleveland Browns, we aren't recommending him as a starting fantasy option in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues. Mims caught only three passes […]

Devaughn Vele Looking To Get More Involved Against Colts

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Devaughn Vele will be looking for a bounce-back performance in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Empower Field after catching just one of his four targets for 16 yards in the 41-32 win over the Browns back in Week 13. In his three previous games before the […]

Javonte Williams Hard To Trust As A Flex In Week 15

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams has a great matchup in Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday, but he's still hard to trust as a flex option in fantasy leagues in the first round of the playoffs. Williams leads the team in carries (124), rushing yards (446) and rushing touchdowns (four), but he's […]

Jaleel McLaughlin With Great Matchup In Week 15, Still Hard To Trust In Fantasy

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has an excellent matchup upcoming in Week 15 against an Indianapolis Colts defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game (147) and the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points to RBs this year. With that said, McLaughlin is still a tough-to-trust flex option for fantasy managers in 14-plus-team leagues […]

Courtland Sutton A Must-Start In Week 15 Against Colts

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton had a slow start to the season as rookie quarterback Bo Nix got acclimated to the NFL, but the veteran wideout has come on strong since a zero-target Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints and has ascended to must-start status in fantasy entering a pivotal Week 15 contest […]

Bo Nix A Low-End QB1 In Big Week 15 Game Against The Colts

Going into a Week 15 game with all kinds of playoff implications this Sunday in Denver against the visiting Indianapolis Colts, Broncos rookie quarterback Bo Nix will maintain low-end QB1 appeal in the first round of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. The 24-year-old 12th overall pick out of Oregon ranks as the No. 15 […]

Alexander Mattison On Track To Return In Week 15

Las Vegas Raiders running back Alexander Mattison (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Friday. Mattison has missed the last three games due to an ankle injury, but the fact that he's been practicing in full this week suggests he'll be ready to return in Week 15 when the Raiders […]

Jakobi Meyers Stays Limited On Friday

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Jakobi Meyers (ankle) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Friday for the second straight day this week. Meyers was also listed as questionable for the Week 14 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers but was active and played 91 percent of the offensive snaps while catching seven […]

Darnell Mooney On Track To Play On Monday Night

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney (foot) upgraded to a full practice session on Friday after he was limited in the team's first official practice of Week 15 on Thursday. Barring a setback in the team's final practice on Saturday, Mooney should be cleared from the final injury report and be good to go for […]

Bradley Chubb Questionable To Face Texans

Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play on Sunday against the Houston Texans in Week 15. Meanwhile, offensive tackle Terron Armstead (knee) is doubtful to play after missing practice all week. Chubb was designated to return from the Physically Unable to Perform last week but […]

Raheem Mostert Cleared To Play, Should Be Avoided In Fantasy

Miami Dolphins running back Raheem Mostert (hip) upgraded to a full practice session on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report. After missing the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets, Mostert will return to face the Houston Texans on the road this Sunday. The Dolphins will have […]
