Bucky Irving Injury Update
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers listed running back Bucky Irving (hip, back) as questionable to play in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Irving departed after only four rushing attempts and a catch last week then didn't have a full practice in the lead-up to Week 15. Managers rostering Irving will have to watch closely on Sunday to see if the team will go with the rookie or turn to Rachaad White and Sean Tucker.
No Bucky Irving, Mike Edwards or K.J. Britt at #Bucs practice today.
Tristan Wirfs, Ben Bredeson, JTS and Christian Izien all participated. pic.twitter.com/Ih04FAkmum

Malik Nabers Injury Updates
New York Giants wide receiver Malik Nabers (hip) does not appear on the Giants' Week 15 injury report.
The rookie receiver ultimately didn't miss any time due to the injury, logging five catches for 79 yards last week. He should be primed for a decent matchup against the Baltimore Ravens this week, albeit with Tommy DeVito at quarterback.

Trey McBride Injury Update
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride (knee) came off the team's final injury report prior to playing the New England Patriots on Sunday.
The tight end has been Arizona's best pass catcher, logging 80 receptions for 851 yards this season. He's a clear starter now that's he's been given the green light.
#Cardinals TE Trey McBride (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday vs. the #Patriots.

George Pickens Injury Update
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens (hamstring) already has been ruled out of the team's Week 15 date against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Pickens did not play last week, during which tight end Pat Freiermuth, wide receiver Mike Williams, and wide receiver Scotty Miller all had a team-high three catches.
The #Steelers ruled out WR George Pickens (hamstring) for Sunday vs. the #Eagles.

Kenneth Walker III Injury Update
Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) is listed as doubtful to play Sunday against the Green Bay Packers, according to the team's final injury report.
Walker didn't play in last week's win against the Cardinals, either, during which running back Zach Charbonnet ran for a career-best 134 yards to go with two touchdowns and seven catches. Charbonnet looks to have the lead role again this week.

Joe Burrow Injury Update
Quarterback Joe Burrow (knee) did not appear on the Cincinnati Bengals' final injury report prior to playing the Tennessee Titans.
Burrow and the Bengals' offense have scored at least 27 points in five straight games, but the team has gone just 2-3 in that span due to a porous defense.

Breece Hall Injury Update
New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is questionable against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but likely to play, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.
Hall missed last week's overtime loss to Miami with the injury but could return for an excellent matchup against the Jags if he's deemed ready to play.
Good news for fantasy owners: RB Breece Hall (knee) is expected to play. His status for Sunday "looks good ... promising," per Ulbrich. A bit of a surprise. #Jets

Alvin Kamara and Derek Carr Injury Updates
New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (illness) does not appear on the team's Week 15 injury report against the Washington Commanders, but quarterback Derek Carr (hand, concussion) is doubtful.
Kamara is one of the few Saints regulars still healthy, as receivers Rashid Shaheed (knee) and Chris Olave (concussion) and tight end Taysom Hill (knee) are all injured. Backup quarterback Jake Haener is slated to start.

D'Andre Swift Injury Update
Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift logged a second straight did-not-practice designation on Friday prior to Monday Night Football at Minnesota.
The Bears could be starting Travis Homer at running back if Swift can't go. Managers should check back for Chicago's final injury report on Saturday.

Cedric Tillman and David Njoku Injury Updates
The Cleveland Browns again will be without wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion) when they play the Kansas City Chiefs, while tight end David Njoku (hamstring) is listed as questionable.
Tillman, who still has not cleared concussion protocol, will miss a third straight game. If Njoku also can't play, Jerry Jeudy and Elijah Moore should dominate Cleveland's target share.
#Browns Cedric Tillman (concussion) has been downgraded to out. Kevin Stefanski said Tillman's not all the way through the protocol. David Njoku (hamstring) questionable as is Joel Bitonio (back), Mike Hall (knee) Myles Harden (tibia) and Khaleke Hudson.

Evan Engram Injury Update
Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Evan Engram (shoulder) will not only miss this week's game against the New York Jets, he's out for the season.
The veteran missed practice time this week, and further evaluation determined that he needs surgery on his labrum. The Jags will likely turn to Luke Farrell and Brenton Strange, but neither is likely to be fantasy relevant.
Jaguars HC Doug Pederson announced that TE Evan Engram will undergo season-ending surgery for a torn labrum. pic.twitter.com/cFDFwyIkpt

Dalton Kincaid Injury Update
Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) is listed as questionable to play the Detroit Lions but is expected to play.
Kincaid hasn't played since Week 10, but still remains second on the team with 34 catches. His return should be an immediate boost for the Buffalo passing game.
- #Bills TE Dalton Kincaid is questionable for Sun. Practicing today without non-contact jersey, brace/sleeve seen on left leg.
- S Taylor Rapp, DE Casey Toohill, S Damar Hamlin also questionable, all in red non-contact jerseys (couldn't get shot of Hamlin).#BillsMafia @WGRZ pic.twitter.com/NGaCyjbH8P
