Dallas Cowboys running back
Javonte Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night due to a shoulder injury, per ESPN's Todd Archer. The 25-year-old recorded six carries for 13 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. If Williams is unable to return,
Malik Davis would be the only remaining running back on the Cowboys' active roster and would likely dominate backfield snaps for the remainder of Week 15. Fullback
Hunter Luepke and wide receiver
KaVontae Turpin could also handle some rushing work. Williams entered the week with 1,150 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns on 248 touches, so his absence would be a big loss for the Dallas offense.

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver
Christian Watson (chest) was taken to the hospital for further evaluation on his chest injury following his team's Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos. Watson recorded three catches for 29 yards on five targets before being forced to exit the game in the third quarter. The 26-year-old missed Green Bay's first six games of the 2025 season while rehabbing a knee injury that ended his 2024 season. Watson has been coming on strong of late, recording five touchdown catches over his last four games coming into Week 15. While the exact severity of Watson's injury is unclear, his status would appear to be up in the air for Green Bay's Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears next Saturday night. If Watson is sidelined, Packers wideouts
Romeo Doubs,
Jayden Reed,
Dontayvion Wicks, and
Matthew Golden could all see increased roles.
UPDATE: Watson was released from the hospital on Sunday and is flying home with the team.--Will BradySource: ESPN - Rob Demovsky

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Adams exited Sunday's game after reaggravating his left hamstring that he had been managing over the last couple of weeks. The 32-year-old had hauled in four catches for 71 yards on nine targets before exiting the game in the fourth quarter and did not return. Coach Sean McVay sounded pessimistic about Adams' status for Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, then went on to say, "but I certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet," reported by Stu Jackson of RamsNFL. It is worth noting that the Rams did clinch a playoff spot after their win over the Lions.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver
Van Jefferson exited the Titans' Week 15 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the second half due to a back injury. Jefferson hauled in one catch for 43 yards on five targets before leaving the game. The 29-year-old has shown flashes this season and has been a reliable target for rookie quarterback
Cameron Ward at times during the year. The Titans have already battled injuries this season in their receiver room after losing
Calvin Ridley for the season to a leg injury. Jefferson's status for their Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs will be monitored as the team heads into the next week of practice.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver
Devaughn Vele (shoulder) exited during the fourth quarter of the team's 20-17 win over the Carolina Panthers. Vele left the game due to a shoulder injury after hauling in five catches for 69 yards on six targets. The 28-year-old was spotted after the game with his left arm in a sling, reported by Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. With Vele in a sling, it will leave his availability in Week 16 against the New York Jets will be up in the air. Vele's status will become clearer when the Saints resume team practice on Wednesday.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr. hauled in seven of his 14 targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the second straight week, Fannin led the team in receptions and targets, and he had one carry for two yards. The Cleveland offense struggled to gain its footing in Chicago, but the dependable rookie tight end continues to provide fantasy managers with a safe PPR floor. Fannin has a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills' defense in Week 16, which has allowed the fewest points to tight ends this season. However, with
David Njoku (knee) still dealing with an injury, Fannin is postured to remain a focal point and an offense that is engineering touches for him.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn ACL and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season and potentially a part of the 2026 season. Parsons sustained this non-contact injury during their Week 15 loss to the Broncos. The Packers acquired Parsons from the Cowboys in a blockbuster deal in the offseason and eventually signed him to a massive four-year $188 million contract. Before exiting Sunday's game, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. Through the first 14 weeks of the season, Parsons tallied 12.5 sacks with 39 total tackles. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Lukas Van Nes to see a larger role on the defensive line.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua (cramping) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The star wideout exited the game in the fourth quarter due to a cramping injury. However, he was able to quickly return, suggesting this injury was not overly serious. Managers should keep an eye on his status during the week leading up to their Week 16 contest on Thursday evening in case he faces a setback. Nacua has enjoyed a stellar showing during this game, catching nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards, which is on track to be a season-high.

According to the team, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Patrick Mahomes (knee) has suffered a torn ACL. Mahomes exited Sunday's loss to the Chargers in the fourth quarter after suffering a left knee injury. Following the game, the three-time Super Bowl winner underwent an MRI, which eventually revealed the extent of their injury. The team noted that Mahomes and the club are currently exploring surgical options. As a result, this will keep the 30-year-old quarterback sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 campaign and potentially part of the 2026 season. Before exiting on Sunday, Mahomes went 16-for-28 with 189 yards, an interception, and added 15 yards and a score with his legs. For the remainder of the season,
Gardner Minshew is slated to take over QB1 duties in Kansas City. He will carry mid-end QB2 upside in Week 16, facing a weak Tennessee secondary, playing in an offense with
Rashee Rice,
Xavier Worthy, and
Travis Kelce.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to cramping. The superstar wideout suffered this injury in the fourth quarter. While he may be in danger of missing the final minutes of this contest, it appears he has avoided a significant injury. Before exiting, Nacua enjoyed another massive showing, bringing in nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards. With
Davante Adams (hamstring) also exiting the contest early, managers should expect
Tutu Atwell and Joran Whittington to serve as the top options in the passing attack for the remainder of Sunday's game. Given that he appears to have avoided a serious injury, Nacua should be on track to suit up on Thursday when the Rams face the Seahawks.

Dallas Cowboys tight end
Jake Ferguson (calf) is officially available for Sunday night's match against the Minnesota Vikings. The top tight end carried a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. On Thursday, he was unable to practice but returned on Friday in a limited capacity. However, he was able to progress enough to suit up. After a hot start to the season, when he averaged an impressive 17.2 PPR points per game over the first seven weeks, Ferguson has seen his production take a massive step back, averaging just 8.7 PPR points from Weeks 8 through 14. This evening, he will face a Minnesota secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing TEs this season. He projects to be a low-end TE1 in standard formats and is a viable play in DFS showdown slates.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Davante Adams (hamstring) exited Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. The star wideout suffered this non-contact injury while running a route in the fourth quarter and immediately went to the locker room. Entering this game, Adams carried a questionable tag due to a hamstring injury after missing the first two practices of the week and remaining in a limited capacity on Friday. Managers should pay close attention leading up to his Week 16 clash against the Seahawks, which is on Thursday evening.
Puka Nacua figures to take on an even higher share of the targets for the remainder of Sunday's contest, while
Jordan Whittington and
Tutu Atwell move up the depth chart.

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to a knee injury. The superstar defensive lineman suffered this injury in the third quarter. This was a non-contact injury, and he needed assistance to walk off the field. Before exiting, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. For the remainder of the game, fantasy managers should expect Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (chest) has been ruled out for the remainder of their contest against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury. Watson sustained this injury in the third quarter when attempting to catch a pass from
Jordan Love, which was eventually intercepted by Patrick Surtain II. Before suffering this injury, the former first-round pick brought in just three of his five targets for 29. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status leading up to a critical divisional tilt in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. Managers should expect
Jayden Reed and
Romeo Doubs to take on lead duties in the passing attack with rookie
Matthew Golden moving up to the No. 3 role for the remainder of Sunday's game.

December 14, 2025
Denver Broncos wide receiver
Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) has returned to Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Mims was being evaluated for a potential concussion but was able to quickly return to action. With rookie
Pat Bryant (hamstring) unable to suit up this weekend, Mims is expected to continue to operate as the team's No. 3 WR behind
Courtland Sutton and
Troy Franklin. Mims immediately made an impact after returning, tallying a nine-yard reception on their scoring drive in the third quarter, which ended with Sutton bringing a 14-yard TD pass from
Bo Nix.
