Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Zay Flowers finally returned to WR1 territory last week for the first time since his Week 1 outburst against the Buffalo Bills. Even though he finally broke the streak of non-WR1 finishes, he still hasn't found the end zone since the first game of the season. The encouraging part is that he received 11 targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers and hauled in eight of those for 124 yards. Their Week 15 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, have been a bit more stingy to opposing receivers in fantasy this year. The Bengals rank as the toughest defense against the position over the last four weeks, giving up an average of 15.13 fantasy points per game. The last time Flowers faced the Bengals in Week 13, he finished as the WR106. He projects as a low-end WR2 in this matchup, but it probably doesn't feel great for fantasy managers that need him.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) is questionable to play in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. After missing Week 14 with a stress fracture in his foot, Odunze was limited on all three days in practice this week. The good news is that ESPN's Jeremy Fowler is reporting that the team is optimistic that he will return this week. After a fast start to his second season, Odunze has struggled, totaling just 365 yards and one touchdown since Week 6. Assuming he's active, he has an opportunity to right his wrongs in recent weeks. Browns star cornerback Denzel Ward is out this week, which should leave Odunze in favorable matchups against the team that runs the most man-coverage in the NFL. Assuming he's good to go, Odunze is a high-end WR3 in Week 15.

New England Patriots running back
Terrell Jennings (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the final four games of the regular season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rapoport adds that the Patriots expect Jennings to return for the team's playoff run. Jennings impressed while sharing touches with
TreVeyon Henderson for a small stretch of games earlier this season, but he fell back to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart when
Rhamondre Stevenson returned to action in Week 13. The 24-year-old has been a solid depth option within this backfield, amassing 73 rushing yards, nine receiving yards, and one touchdown through seven games. New England lacks reliable backfield depth behind Henderson and Stevenson now that Jennings,
Antonio Gibson (knee),
Deneric Prince (undisclosed), and
Craig Reynolds (undisclosed) are all sidelined for extended periods of time. The Patriots will likely elevate
D'Ernest Johnson from the practice squad to replace Jennings for Week 15.

Chicago Bears running back
D'Andre Swift has been having a standout season as he approaches the final four weeks. In 12 games, Swift has accumulated 1093 total yards and six touchdowns, ranking him as the RB17 on a per-game basis. His season could be even better if it weren't for the rise of rookie
Kyle Monangai. Both Swift and Monangai have each had 60 carries over the last four games and have been nearly equal in snap share since Week 8. Although the Bears are among the most run-oriented teams in the NFL, this committee approach will likely make Swift an inconsistent fantasy option moving forward. He faces a Browns defense that's been tough against the run this season but just allowed 161 rushing yards to Titans running back
Tony Pollard last week. As the fantasy playoffs approach, it will be tough to bench the veteran, but expectations against the Browns should be tempered.

Chicago Bears quarterback
Caleb Williams' passing volume remained a concern in Week 14, completing just 19 passes for 186 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Williams hasn't completed over 20 passes since Week 8, and his completion percentage of 57.8% ranks 33rd out of qualified quarterbacks. With a lack of volume, Williams will continue to be an inconsistent fantasy option moving forward. The matchup in Week 15 presents problems as well, as the Cleveland Browns have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. The winter conditions in Chicago are likely to be a factor as well, with single-digit temperatures expected and winds exceeding 25 mph. Williams is a risky start in Week 15, as he presents much more risk in this game than in past matchups.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tyjae Spears remains firmly on the fantasy radar as an RB3/flex option in full-PPR leagues ahead of Sunday's Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Spears lost key volume to
Tony Pollard (25 carries, 161 yards, two touchdowns) last week, but he still maintained a sizable role on passing downs. He has at least three targets in all eight of his games this season, and he's averaging an impressive 4.3 catches per game over the last four weeks. Spears' impressive pass-catching volume has allowed him to rank as the overall RB34 in fantasy points per game since Week 6 (minimum four games played). This week, he takes on a 49ers defense that has struggled against pass-catching backs. Specifically, the Niners have allowed the most catches, eighth-most receiving yards, and eighth-most receiving touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. While Pollard has generated most of the buzz after last week's big game, Spears should be the name to get excited about in this backfield, given how often pass-catching backs excel against this 49ers run defense. Spears should be viewed as a strong RB3/flex option in Week 15.

Baltimore Ravens running back
Derrick Henry continues to boast RB1 potential heading into the Week 15 matchup with the Cincinnati Bengals. Despite finishing as the RB20 in half-PPR leagues against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14, Henry has a bounce back opportunity versus a weaker run defense. In Week 13 against the Bengals, Henry finished with 10 carries for 60 yards and a touchdown to go along with one reception for 44 yards. He could have been used even more in that matchup, and the Ravens' coaching staff took some heat for their decision to not give him the ball more often. The Bengals still rank last against opposing running backs and the Ravens are fighting for their playoff lives, so Henry still carries RB1 value in this game.

The Chicago Bears are "optimistic" that wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) will play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Odunze is currently listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. The 23-year-old is working his way back from a one-game absence. He has been a boom-or-bust receiver this year, scoring at least 18 fantasy points (full-PPR) in two of his last eight games, and fewer than 6.5 points in the remaining six of his last eight. Despite the inconsistent production, Odunze has been able to rank as the overall WR29 in fantasy scoring this year. He has been heavily involved, catching 44 of his 90 targets for 661 yards and six touchdowns. Windy conditions and temperatures in the single digits could have an impact on Odunze's fantasy value this week, but his upside as a big-play threat in the Bears'
Caleb Williams-led offense keeps him on the fantasy radar. As it stands, he's a solid WR3/flex play this week. However, managers must accept that he has a lower floor.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson finally gave fantasy managers a bit of a bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14. He finished as the QB6 after failing to finish any better than the QB14 in each of the four weeks before that. Jackson even had a rushing touchdown last week, which was his first score on the ground since Week 1. In Week 15, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals again, after a huge disappointment against them in Week 13. The Bengals' defense still ranks 30th against opposing quarterbacks in fantasy, and they're even 30th over the last two weeks despite holding Jackson to under double-digit fantasy points. Jackson's talent is undeniable, but a weak offensive line and seemingly some injury issues have hampered his ceiling. With that being said, he still has mid-level QB1 potential against a weak defense.

Tennessee Titans running back
Tony Pollard had been an underwhelming fantasy contributor ever since
Tyjae Spears returned from injured reserve, but that all changed last week as Pollard exploded for 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns in the Titans' Week 14 win over the Cleveland Browns. The 28-year-old will look to carry the momentum from last weekend into this Sunday's Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Tennessee seems to be riding the hot hand at running back, so Pollard will likely get the first crack at handling the every-down role this week. If he starts strong, he could have a shot at replicating last week's huge game. If Pollard can excel against a strong Browns run defense, he's capable of finding similar success against the Niners, who rank near the middle of the league in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing running backs this year. With that being said, we can't guarantee that Pollard will explode just because of one big, unexpected performance. There's still some risk here, making Pollard a low-floor, high-ceiling option for Week 15. He ranks as the overall RB34 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and can be deployed as a flex in most formats.

Tennessee Titans quarterback
Cameron Ward remains off the fantasy radar heading into Sunday's Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Ward has been very disappointing in his first pro season after being selected with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. The Miami product has 10 touchdowns and 13 touchdowns this season with a poor 59.1% completion rate. He also ranks as just the QB27 in fantasy leagues this year despite playing every offensive snap through 13 games. On a promising note, Ward has scored two touchdowns in two of his last three games. However, he's still struggling to accrue yardage, and the completion rate and turnover problems persist. Ward ranks as the overall QB30 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings and can be benched in all fantasy leagues.

Buffalo Bills kicker
Matt Prater has filled in admirably for
Tyler Bass (hip, groin) this season, but he's not a must-start fantasy option for Week 15 against the New England Patriots. Prater hasn't scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 8, and he ranks as the overall K20 in total scoring through 14 weeks this season. To his credit, the veteran kicker has been mostly accurate, going 18-for-20 on field goals and 38-for-41 on extra points. However, with just 1.4 field goals per game and only one successful attempt from beyond 50 yards, Prater hasn't delivered very many high-scoring kicks. He'll also get a tougher matchup this week against the Patriots, who have allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2025. Furthermore, he'll face questionable weather conditions with cold temperatures and snow forecasted for Foxborough, Massachusetts, on Sunday afternoon. Prater ranks as the #14 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 15 fantasy football rankings. Managers in leagues with 12 or fewer teams can find better options to fill the kicker spot this week.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Tyrell Shavers has been a consistent piece of the team's rotation at receiver this season. Shavers has played at least 20% of the snaps on offense in every game and has been closer to 50% over the last six games. The 26-year-old notched a career-high four receptions for 90 yards on five targets in Week 11, but has only one reception on one target for 16 yards in three games since. The second-year wideout doesn't have a reliable floor for targets in the Bills' low-volume passing offense, and he only profiles as a deep-league desperation flex option for Sunday's divisional matchup against the New England Patriots.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Gabe Davis has played in four games with the team this season after spending time on Injured Reserve due to a knee injury earlier in the season. Davis has played 53.8% of the offensive snaps, second-highest among Bills wideouts behind
Khalil Shakir in that time, and has compiled seven receptions for 88 yards on 10 targets. The 26-year-old receiver is a trusted veteran who knows the Bills' offensive system and is a reliable blocker in the running game, which has earned him the right to be on the field more often than not. The floor for production isn't high for Davis in a spread-out and low-volume Bills passing attack, though, and he profiles as a deep-league flex option in Week 15 against the New England Patriots.

December 13, 2025
Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Puka Nacua has been excellent this season, and he should continue to play at a high level in a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions on Sunday in Week 15. He has been able to co-exist alongside
Davante Adams (hamstring), as both players rank within the top six wide receivers in fantasy scoring this year. Nacua himself is the overall WR2 in scoring, trailing only
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. The 24-year-old could shrink the gap between him and Smith-Njigba this week, given that Nacua has an extremely enticing matchup against the Lions. Detroit's defense has allowed the fifth-most receiving yards, second-most touchdowns, and second-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Nacua ranks as the overall WR3 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for Week 15.
