Riley Patterson Is a Shaky Start in Pittsburgh

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson has been solid but not spectacular this season, while filling in for Jason Sanders (hip), who remains on IR. Patterson has made 23 of his 25 field goal attempts and 28 of his 29 extra point attempts. He didn't have any issues on the road in the cold against the […]

Dolphins D/ST a Borderline Starting Option on Monday Night Football

The Miami Dolphins D/ST has been instrumental in helping the team to pick up four straight wins, allowing 17 points or fewer in each of those four victories and racking up 14 sacks and 10 takeaways in those four victories. The Dolphins shut down the Jets in New York for their latest win, but they'll […]

Darren Waller a Deep-League Flier Against the Steelers

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller flashed enough upside in the early part of the season to get some attention, but he hasn't been as involved since returning from IR in Week 13. He and the Dolphins are taking on the Steelers on Monday Night Football, and he can be a deep-league flier if you're […]

Malik Washington Only a Long-Shot Flex Play on Monday Against Pittsburgh

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Malik Washington has flashed some play-making ability and upside this season, but he is not getting enough downfield chances to be a strong fantasy play this week against the Steelers. The Dolphins are relying on their run game, led by De'Von Achane, and their defense to win them games lately, leaving […]

Jaylen Waddle Is a High-End WR2 Against the Steelers

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle will try to help the Dolphins secure their fifth straight win this Monday when they visit the Steelers. While the Dolphins have had a very low-volume passing attack in recent weeks, Waddle has remained a solid starting option in most formats because he is clearly the top option in […]

Ollie Gordon II Could Find Work Hard to Come by in Week 15

Miami Dolphins running back Ollie Gordon II got into the end zone for his third touchdown of the season last week against the Jets, but this week, the Dolphins' backfield will be crowded, which could leave the rookie without much work. De'Von Achane (ribs) is expected to play despite an injury to his ribs suffered […]

Jaylen Wright's Week 15 Fantasy Value Hinges on Teammate's Health

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has been buried on the Dolphins' depth chart this season, and it looks like he'll return to a minimal role after making the most of his chance last week and posting a breakout game. Wright and the Dolphins face the Steelers on Monday, but De'Von Achane (ribs) is on […]

De'Von Achane a Must-Start if he's Active on Monday

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) has been one of the best fantasy football running backs of the season, and the Dolphins and his fantasy managers can breathe a sigh of relief since it looks like he'll be available in the Week 15 Monday Night Football matchup with the Steelers. Coach Mike McDaniel said […]

Tua Tagovailoa Is Not a Strong Start on Monday Night Football

Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been marginally better lately, avoiding costly turnovers and letting his running back and defense carry his team to four straight wins. His numbers have been not impressive even during his team's winning streak. He has attempted under 25 passes in every one of those games with 15 or fewer […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn a Top-Five Fantasy Kicker in Week 15

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn has been locked in all season, making 29 of 32 field goal attempts and 18 extra points. The fact that he has almost twice as many field goals as extra points shows how conservative the Texans typically are on offense, as they lean into the strength of their defense to […]

Texans D/ST Remains a Reliable Starting Option in Week 15

The Houston Texans defense/special teams has been one of the best units all season long, limiting opponents to under 21 points in four straight games and in 11 of their 13 games this season. They had two sacks and three interceptions last week against the Chiefs, bringing them to 36 sacks and 22 takeaways this […]

Dalton Schultz Makes for a Solid TE2 Against the Cardinals

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has racked up 62 catches this season but only scored one touchdown, making him a deep-league PPR option but not a reliable, regular starter in standard-sized leagues. Schultz had three catches on four targets for 22 yards last week against the Chiefs, and he has at least three catches […]

Christian Kirk Not a Strong Option Despite Revenge Game

Houston Texans wide receiver Christian Kirk has struggled with injuries in his first season with the Texans, and he has been in a minimal role coming into his Week 15 matchup against his former team, the Cardinals. Kirk played only 25 snaps (36%) last week in a big game against the Chiefs and caught only […]

Jayden Higgins Is a Long-Shot Flex Play Against Arizona

Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins continues to have a solid rookie season, and he has been able to establish himself as the team's second receiver during their current winning streak. Last week, Higgins had three catches on five targets for 34 yards. He has at least five targets and at least three catches in […]

Nico Collins Is a Strong WR1 in Week 15

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins remains the clear go-to option in the Texans' passing game, and he's in a great spot this week at home against the Arizona Cardinals. Collins hauled in four receptions on eight targets for 121 yards in last Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs, and he now has 75+receiving yards […]

Dare Ogunbowale Could Get More Work

Houston Texans running back Dare Ogunbowale made the most of his lone carry last week, scampering five yards for a touchdown against the Chiefs. The 31-year-old veteran played only one snap, filling in while Nick Chubb (ribs) and Woody Marks (knee) were temporarily unavailable. He has four carries for 23 yards and a touchdown, along […]

Nick Chubb Could Remain in a Reduced Role

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) was forced to leave last week's big win over the Chiefs early with a rib injury, but there's still a chance he's available for Week 15 against the Cardinals. He missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but was able to get in a limited session on Friday. If […]

Woody Marks Poised for a Big Week Against the Cardinals?

Houston Texans running back Woody Marks (knee) missed some practice earlier this week but does not have an injury designation and is ready to go for the Texans' Week 15 matchup against Arizona. The Cardinals have allowed 18 running back touchdowns in 13 games, including eight in the last four weeks. Marks could get more […]

C.J. Stroud Is a QB2 Option Against Arizona

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud will try to help the Texans earn their sixth straight win when they host the Cardinals this week. Stroud missed the first three games of the winning streak but took back over and led the team to big wins over the Colts and Chiefs. This week, he gets a much […]

When Will Trey Benson Return and Be Back? Fantasy Football Injury Update for Week 15 (2025)

Second-year running back Trey Benson showed some very positive signs early this season that he could be a breakout performer if he got enough of the Arizona timeshare from veteran James Conner. Conner went down with a season-ending injury, opening the door for a Benson breakout. Unfortunately, though, Benson sustained an injury the very next […]

Dru Smith Will Be Available Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Dru Smith (hip) got a spot start on Saturday but was listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal contest with the Magic. Smith was upgraded to available, but he'll likely return to the bench with Tyler Herro (toe) and Davion Mitchell (groin) ready to return after missing Saturday's game. In his […]

Pelle Larsson Will Be Available Against Orlando

Miami Heat guard/forward Pelle Larsson (hip) was listed as probable but has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Magic, along with Davion Mitchell and Tyler Herro. Larsson has played 23 games (16 starts) this season and is averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 22.4 minutes per game. […]

Davion Mitchell Listed as Available for Tuesday

Miami Heat guard Davion Mitchell (groin) missed his team's game on Sunday, but he'll be able to return to action on Tuesday, as expected when he was given the probable tag. Mitchell's return will be just in time for the NBA Cup Quarterfinals contest against the Magic on Tuesday night, when Tyler Herro (toe) will […]

Tyler Herro Will Be Available Tuesday Against the Magic

Miami Heat guard Tyler Herro (toe) will be able to return as expected when the Heat visit the Magic in an NBA Cup Quarterfinals contest on Tuesday night.

Aaron Gordon, Christian Braun Likely Out Until After Christmas

Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and guard Christian Braun (ankle) are not expected to return until after Christmas, per coach David Adelman. When asked about Gordon and Braun's recovery, Adelman said, "I would imagine they celebrate the holiday without playing, but we'll see." Braun was given a six-week timeline about four weeks ago, so […]

Immanuel Quickley Downgraded to Questionable Tuesday

Toronto Raptors guard Immanuel Quickley (illness) was downgraded to questionable on Tuesday afternoon before his team faces the Knicks in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals. Quickley played through the same illness on Sunday and logged 31 minutes against Boston with 11 points and five assists. Since Jamal Shead (quad) is also questionable, the Raptors could be […]

J.J. McCarthy Back on Track?

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy led his team to a 31-0 rout of the Commanders in Week 14 in a triumphant return from injury. He threw for 163 yards and three touchdowns in the win while adding 19 rushing yards on six carries as well. McCarthy completed 16 of his 23 pass attempts in one […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Still a Strong RB Option?

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson missed three weeks with a toe injury, allowing rookie TreVeyon Henderson to go off and become a fantasy star. Stevenson played two games before the team's bye week, though, and he still clearly has a significant role in the offense. In Week 13 against the Giants, he outsnapped […]

Theo Johnson Is a Top Tight End Addition This Week

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson will return from his team's bye week and look to continue his solid season, working as one of the top targets for Jaxson Dart. Johnson has at least three catches in seven straight games and has totaled 42 catches for 456 yards and five touchdowns in his 13 […]

Jerry Jeudy Back on the Fantasy Radar?

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has proven he can have massive games in the past, and the first-round pick had one of his best games of the season in Week 14 against the Titans. He only had three catches but racked up 76 yards and a long touchdown from Shedeur Sanders, who looked like […]
