Calvin Austin III Cleared to Play in Week 15

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (calf) practiced in full on Saturday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play in Monday's Week 15 contest against the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old is the No. 2 receiver on the depth chart, but he has been held to two or fewer targets in […]

Harold Fannin Jr. Continues to Ascend Into Large Role

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. ranks as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues this season and is coming off the best game of his rookie campaign. He has found the end zone in two consecutive games and has a favorable matchup against a Chicago Bears defense that has allowed the ninth-most receptions to […]

Is Philip Rivers Starting This Week? Should I Pick Up/Start Rivers for Fantasy Football Week 15?

The Indianapolis Colts are dealing with major injuries at the QB position. Last weekend, their starting QB, Daniel Jones, suffered an Achilles injury, which will keep him sidelined for the remainder of the season. In addition, the team's No. 2 option, Anthony Richardson Sr., is currently on the IR due to an orbital injury. Their […]

Jaylen Warren an Appealing Fantasy Option if Game Script Cooperates

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren continues to be a strong RB2 option in fantasy football, but his exact role in Monday's Week 15 contest against the Miami Dolphins will depend on game script. Warren had an underwhelming role on the ground last Sunday as he had just eight carries for 13 yards. However, he […]

Brian Thomas Jr. Trending Toward a Bigger Week 15?

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. has tested his fantasy managers' patience throughout the entire 2025 NFL season. Between missing time and delivering several underwhelming performances, Thomas has not lived up to his late-first-round price tag in last summer's fantasy drafts. However, he could be turning a corner ahead of Sunday's Week 15 contest […]

Jauan Jennings Set Up for Success Against Titans

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings should benefit from a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. While the Titans' pass defense has been better than their run defense, they've still allowed the sixth-most receiving yards and seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Jennings has been one of the […]

Ayo Dosunmu Unlikely to Play vs. Pelicans

Chicago Bulls guard/forward Ayo Dosunmu (thumb) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against New Orleans, putting him on track to miss a second straight contest. He's a stash in standard leagues, but managers in weekly formats should sit him if they cannot afford a zero. If Dosunmu is ruled out, Tre Jones is the […]

Terry McLaurin Looking to Rebound in More Favorable Matchup

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to bounce back following last week's underwhelming fantasy performance against the Minnesota Vikings. He's trending in the right direction with a more favorable matchup in Week 15 against the New York Giants. The Giants have allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide […]

Tyrese Maxey Trending Toward Second Straight Absence

Philadelphia 76ers guard Tyrese Maxey (illness) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against Atlanta. If he sits again, Quentin Grimes should remain in the starting lineup and hold streaming value for threes with a chance at secondary playmaking after posting 10 points, nine rebounds, and four assists in 39 minutes Friday. VJ Edgecombe stays […]

LaMelo Ball Misses Third Straight Game

Charlotte Hornets guard LaMelo Ball (ankle) will miss Sunday's game against Cleveland, extending his absence to three straight contests with a left ankle bone bruise. Ball remains a firm hold, but Charlotte's short-handed backcourt continues to reshape the rotation. With Collin Sexton (quadriceps) and Tre Mann (knee) also sidelined, KJ Simpson has averaged 11.3 points, […]

Wan'Dale Robinson Positioned for Success in Week 15

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has seen a ton of targets coming his way as the No. 1 option in this offense. Robinson has registered double-digit targets in three of his last five games. The expectation is that Robinson will continue seeing a high volume of targets against a struggling Washington Commanders defense […]

Kristaps Porzingis Remains Out Versus 76ers

Atlanta Hawks forward/center Kristaps Porzingis (illness) will miss Sunday's game against Philadelphia, marking his third straight absence. Porzingis remains a clear hold, but his absence continues to elevate Onyeka Okongwu's role. Okongwu logged 14 points, three rebounds, three assists, two steals, and four blocks in 28 minutes in his last outing and has consistently delivered […]

Courtland Sutton Startable Despite Tough Matchup in Week 15

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton isn't quite having the type of success that fantasy managers expect from a WR1 in an offense. Sutton has played better lately, with 59 receiving yards or more in three straight games. Over that span, Sutton has seen 24 targets, so he should continue to see the ball coming […]

Drew Eubanks To Miss Time With Thumb Fracture

Sacramento Kings center Drew Eubanks (thumb) suffered an avulsion fracture in Thursday's loss to Denver and will be re-evaluated in three weeks after exiting in just four minutes. Eubanks can be dropped in most formats. Maxime Raynaud has started recently and logged 15 points, nine rebounds, and 37 minutes against the Nuggets, putting him firmly […]

Jakobi Meyers Should Continue to Succeed

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has become a popular target in this offense in recent weeks. Meyers currently carries a three-game touchdown streak into the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Last week, Meyers saw 10 targets, which was his most since Week 2. The Jags are clearly leaning on him in […]

Evan Mobley Sidelined 2-4 Weeks With Grade 1 Calf Strain

Cleveland Cavaliers forward Evan Mobley (calf) sustained a Grade 1 strain during Friday's 130-126 win over Washington and is expected to miss two to four weeks. Mobley is an easy IL stash after posting 18.8 points, 9.6 rebounds, 4.4 assists, 0.6 steals, and 2.0 blocks in 33.3 minutes over his last five. Dean Wade and […]

Christian Watson Could Struggle in Week 15

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson has been in the end zone a ton over the last few weeks. In the previous four games, Watson has scored five touchdowns, while producing 80 receiving yards or more in two contests—the return of Jayden Reed figures to cut into Watson's target share going forward. Watson also […]

Emari Demercado Expected to Play on Sunday

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) currently carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. According to Adam Schefter, Demercado is expected to make his return to the field after missing the last three games with an ankle injury. His return to the mix would make for a messy […]

Jake Ferguson Expected to Play in Week 15

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Ian Rapoport, Ferguson is expected to suit up despite the calf issue. Ferguson has been limited in practice while dealing with his nagging calf problem. It doesn't seem serious enough to keep him out of […]
