The New York Jets have yet to open the 21-day practice window for wide receiver
Garrett Wilson (knee), according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Head coach Aaron Glenn reiterated that the team still has to consult with doctors on Wilson's status. Wilson remains on Injured Reserve after aggravating a knee injury back in Week 10. At this point, with only four games remaining in the 2025 season, it's fair to wonder if the 25-year-old pass-catcher will be allowed to come back with the Jets out of playoff contention. With Wilson almost certain to be ruled out for Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, receivers
John Metchie III and
Adonai Mitchell will continue to operate as the top two receivers, but they might be taking passes from undrafted rookie quarterback
Brady Cook this week with both
Tyrod Taylor (groin) and
Justin Fields (knee) nursing injuries.

New York Jets running back
Breece Hall (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday due to knee soreness, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. The Jets could be giving Hall some rest late in the season, but it's definitely something we'll be monitoring closely as Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars approaches. If the 24-year-old is limited in any way or ruled out for this weekend,
Isaiah Davis would become a plug-and-play RB option for fantasy managers as the Jets' No. 1 back.
Kene Nwangwu and
Khalil Herbert could also be involved in the backfield. However, with undrafted rookie quarterback
Brady Cook potentially making his first NFL start in Week 15, all of New York's offensive skill players would need to be downgraded this weekend. Going into Week 15, Hall is the RB17 in half-PPR points with 877 rushing yards and three touchdowns, and 309 receiving yards and another score.

New York Jets rookie quarterback
Brady Cook will get first-team reps at practice on Wednesday with both
Tyrod Taylor (groin) and
Justin Fields (knee) missing practice, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. With Taylor and Fields both hurt, the Jets re-signed
Adrian Martinez as QB insurance as they head into a Week 15 date with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Cook took over for the injured Taylor in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins and went 14-for-30 passing for 163 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. The 24-year-old looked like an undrafted rookie. If both Taylor and Fields aren't cleared to play this weekend, Cook would be forced into making his first NFL start. Even in two-QB superflex leagues, fantasy managers would want to look for better options. Regardless of who is starting under center for the Jets, the Jaguars' defense/special teams unit will be a popular play in Week 15.

Washington Commanders veteran quarterback
Marcus Mariota will make his seventh start of the year in Week 15 against the division-rival New York Giants, according to The Washington Post's Tashan Reed. The Commanders have ruled out
Jayden Daniels (elbow) after he aggravated his elbow injury in last week's blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Daniels isn't dealing with a long-term injury, but with Washington's season essentially already over, the 32-year-old Mariota could end up starting the rest of the way for the Commanders. Although he doesn't offer a ton of fantasy football upside, Mariota has been pretty serviceable leading the team's offense in place of Daniels this year. He's completed 62.9% of his 194 pass attempts for 1,389 yards, nine TDs, and seven interceptions. Mariota averaged 186.6 passing yards and 30.8 rushing yards per game from Weeks 8-13. Consider him a midrange QB2 option in superflex leagues this weekend versus the G-Men.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback
Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not play on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants, according to Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. Veteran
Marcus Mariota will make another start this weekend. Daniels aggravated his left (non-throwing) elbow in Sunday's shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings in his first game back since dislocating the same elbow back in Week 9. The Commanders have said that the 24-year-old will play again this year, but with the team out of the playoff picture, it wouldn't be a surprise if they eventually shut him down. The good news is that Daniels' elbow injury won't keep him out long-term. The former second overall pick has had his sophomore season derailed by injuries in 2025, as he also missed several games earlier this year with a knee injury. He has thrown for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns, and three picks in seven starts while adding 278 rushing yards and two TDs on 58 carries.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that rookie quarterback
Riley Leonard (knee), who has a Grade 1 PCL sprain, will practice this week, but his status for the Week 15 game on Sunday against the hosting Seattle Seahawks is up in the air, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. "We'll see," Steichen said on Leonard's status.
Daniel Jones (Achilles) is done for the year, and
Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remains on Injured Reserve, so the Colts went out and signed 44-year-old
Philip Rivers to their practice squad this week. If Leonard is unable to play in Seattle this weekend, it's very possible that Rivers will get the start in his first NFL action since the 2020 season. PCL sprains typically sideline players for multiple weeks, so it would be a bit of a surprise if Leonard made the start for Indy in Seattle.
Brett Rypien is the only other QB on the Colts' roster at the moment. The 23-year-old Leonard went 18-for-29 passing for 145 yards and an interception while also running in a TD in place of Jones in last week's loss to the Jaguars.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Cedric Tillman (concussion, rib) is not expected to practice with the team on Wednesday, per Browns Zone's Scott Petrak. With two injuries, Tillman should be considered questionable to take the field this Sunday to take on the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old will need to clear the league's concussion protocol later this week in order to get the green light to play this weekend. He played 64% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans and caught one of his three targets for 23 yards. Even if Tillman gains clearance later this week, fantasy managers won't be in a hurry to throw him into their starting lineups, especially with the playoffs starting in most leagues. Tillman hasn't had more than one catch in a game since Nov. 16 against the Ravens, and he's caught only 18 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns in nine games in 2025. If Tillman doesn't play in Week 15, rookie
Isaiah Bond would become a more attractive big-play option in deeper leagues.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) is not expected to take the practice field on Wednesday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Sampson is dealing with two injuries as the team prepares for a Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The 21-year-old had a season-high five catches on six targets for 64 yards in the team's loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, and with
Jerome Ford (shoulder) now on Injured Reserve, Sampson is going to have a larger change-of-pace role behind rookie starter
Quinshon Judkins the rest of the way. Sampson might be questionable to play this weekend, but Ford's injury makes him a waiver-wire consideration this week, at least as a bench stash for the fantasy playoffs in PPR leagues. The fourth-rounder has averaged only 2.6 yards on the ground on 44 rushing attempts in his first 13 NFL games, but he's added 28 catches for 259 yards and two scores through the air.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that tight end
Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Otton missed practice on Monday and Tuesday but was seen on the practice field on Wednesday. Apparently, it wasn't enough to convince the coaching staff that he's ready to play on a short week. The good news for Tampa is that they could be getting both receivers
Mike Evans (collarbone) and
Jalen McMillan (neck) back in Week 15. Fantasy managers who had the 26-year-old Otton in their starting lineups need to move him to the bench this week.
Payne Durham should be the Bucs' top pass-catching option at TE on Thursday, but fantasy managers should have better streaming options available. Durham has one catch for 11 yards in 13 games this year and 17 receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns in 42 career games.

Cleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Njoku caught a touchdown pass in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, but he suffered a knee injury on the play and is now questionable to suit up for a Week 15 contest against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. The 29-year-old does have two more days to return to practice, but as of now, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to have him available this weekend. Rookie tight end
Harold Fannin Jr., who leads the Browns in all receiving categories this year, would be in line for even more targets in Cleveland's passing attack if Njoku is unable to get clearance to play against Chicago. Even if Njoku returns to practice later this week, Fannin should be on the TE1 map in fantasy football.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Since Benson will not return within his 21-day activation window, he will revert to season-ending IR and will not be eligible to return in 2025. Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that was serious enough to land him on IR, but was not thought at the time to be season-ending. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old suffered a setback once his activation window was opened, or if the 3-10 Cardinals are simply choosing to be cautious with their potential running back of the future. Either way, Benson should now be completely off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the remainder of 2025. His absence ups the value of Cardinals running backs
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter, who should continue to see the majority of the team's backfield snaps.
Emari Demercado (ankle) could play a role in Arizona as well once he returns from the ankle injury that has sidelined him since Week 11.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) has "shown everything he needed to show in practice" to be activated off Injured Reserve for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. All indications are pointing to Evans making his return on Thursday night from a broken collarbone that has sidelined him since Week 7. Across the four games he's been active for this season, the 32-year-old has hauled in 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets. Given the long injury layoff, Tampa Bay could choose to work him back in slowly and limit his snap share in Week 15. Still, Evans could immediately slot in as the Buccaneers' top pass-catcher alongside wide receivers
Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin. If active, Evans profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 in Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Jalen McMillan (neck) practiced for the third straight day on Wednesday, according to Pewter Report. McMillan has been on Injured Reserve for the entirety of 2025 after suffering a neck injury in the preseason, but it appears he could be trending towards making his return in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Upon his return, McMillan will be part of a crowded Tampa Bay wide receiver room that includes
Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and
Tez Johnson, and could be getting
Mike Evans (collarbone) back in Week 15 as well. McMillan was productive as a rookie in 2024, hauling in 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets across 13 games. However, the target competition and long injury layoff could lead to a slow reintegration period for the 24-year-old once activated off Injured Reserve. McMillan is a player to monitor for deep-league managers, but should likely be avoided if activated for Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end
Cade Otton (knee) was back on the practice field on Wednesday after being listed as a non-participant on both Monday and Tuesday, per Matt Matera of Pewter Report. Otton's status for Tampa Bay's Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night is still in question, but his presence at practice on Wednesday may mean he's going to give it a go. If Otton is unable to play,
Payne Durham would likely take over as Tampa Bay's TE1 against Atlanta. Otton's production has tailed off in recent weeks, as he's failed to record more than four catches or 28 receiving yards in a game since Week 10. Otton's role may diminish even further if Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) can return from a collarbone injury that's kept him out of the lineup since Week 7. Given the injury and role uncertainty, fantasy managers should likely avoid Otton in Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone) practiced on Wednesday, per Matt Matera of Pewter Report. The 32-year-old has been on the practice field for three straight days now and could be trending towards making his return in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Evans has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 7. Across four games this season, he's hauled in 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets. While Tampa Bay has other capable wideouts in
Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, Evans should re-assume the team's WR1 role once he's fully re-integrated into the offense. Still, fantasy managers could be wise to temper expectations for Evans immediately upon his return. If he's active in Week 15, Evans profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 against Atlanta.
