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.

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Christian Watson (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury. Green Bay's top pass catcher sustained this injury in the third quarter when attempting to catch a pass that was eventually intercepted by Denver defensive back Patrick Surtain II. Before exiting, Watson brought in three of his five targets for just 29 yards. Leading up to this game, Watson was enjoying a strong stretch of play, averaging 18.4 PPR points from Weeks 11 through 14. Fantasy managers should expect
Jayden Reed,
Romeo Doubs, and
Matthew Golden to operate as the top WRs while Watson remains sidelined.

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end
Gunnar Helm (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest. The rookie tight end sustained this injury in the second half. Before exiting the contest, Helm was enjoying a strong start to the game, bringing in both of his targets for 38 yards and a score. His TD reception came on a 34-yard strike from fellow rookie
Cameron Ward in the second frame. While he remains sidelined, managers should expect
Chig Okonkwo to log the majority of snaps at the tight end position and see an uptick in targets.

New England Patriots rookie running back
TreVeyon Henderson totaled over 150 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. On the ground, the second-round pick out of Ohio State took 14 attempts for 148 yards and two scores. Both of his touchdowns came on long rushes for 52 yards and 65 yards, respectively. Through the air, Henderson brought in two of his three targets for an additional 13 yards. Even though Henderson ceded six carries and three targets to
Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson still operated as the lead back and flashed much higher upside. Managers should continue to view the rookie as a high-end must-start RB2 in all formats, even if he continues to share opportunities with Stevenson, ahead of a tilt against the Ravens in Week 16

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver
Tyler Lockett (wrist) reeled in two of four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 31-0 road loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Lockett picked up a wrist injury late in the first half that had the team deem him questionable coming out of halftime. He'd re-enter the game in the third quarter, though he did not receive another opportunity in the passing game. It was a rough day for the offense as a whole, considering Las Vegas ran just 42 offensive plays and was shut out for the second time this season. Even if Lockett makes it through the upcoming week of practice without a setback, he may be falling out of favor in the offense. Rookie wideout
Jack Bech has accrued a higher snap share than the veteran in the previous three games, out-producing him in each.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, New Orleans Saints running back
Devin Neal (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of their Week 15 contest due to a hamstring injury. Neal sustained this injury in the first half. Before exiting, he was able to punch in a rushing score and tally 28 yards on seven attempts. The rookie also brought his lone target for four yards. With
Alvin Kamara (knee) on the shelf and
Kendre Miller (knee) shut down for this season, Neal has taken over RB1 duties in New Orleans. For the remainder of this contest, fantasy managers should expect
Audric Estime and
Evan Hull to split the backfield. Managers should keep a close eye on Neal's status during the week, as he would carry RB2 upside in a favorable matchup against the Jets in Week 16.
