The Indianapolis Colts plan to wait until the end of the week before deciding on a starting quarterback ahead of the Week 15 matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks. Right now, newly signed
Philip Rivers and rookie
Riley Leonard (knee) are competing for the starting gig. It's worth noting that Rivers hasn't played in a football game since January of 2021. The 44-year-old came out of retirement to help bolster an Indy quarterback room that has been devastated by injuries. Leonard suffered a knee sprain last week after coming in for
Daniel Jones (Achilles), who suffered a season-ending injury during the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. At the moment,
Brett Rypien is the other QB option on the roster. The Colts want to see a full week of practice from all their quarterbacks before making a final decision. Whoever is starting in Seattle for the Colts this weekend will be a desperation fantasy play in two-QB formats.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Tyler Allgeier tallied double-digit carries in Week 14's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, rushing 11 times for 34 scoreless yards (3.1 YPC), but managed to salvage his fantasy day by recording two catches for 33 yards. His work in the passing game, albeit small, is an interesting revelation, as the BYU product recorded just one game out of nine played with
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) in which he tallied two receptions, however, he's done so in three of four games with
Kirk Cousins at the helm. If nothing else, it increases his fantasy floor and could make him a more viable flex option going forward. The 25-year-old, with eight touchdowns already this year, will take on a Buccaneers defense that has yielded the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Although he's firmly behind
Bijan Robinson in the backfield pecking order, he continues to get red zone opportunities (four each last week) and should be a priority handcuff for Robinson managers. The fourth-year pro projects as an RB4/Flex play for Thursday Night Football, and could even see a small uptick in usage given the short turnaround from Sunday, as Robinson had less time than normal to recover.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end
Elijah Arroyo (knee) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. According to head coach Mike Macdonald, Arroyo is day-to-day due to a lingering knee issue. Arroyo exited early during last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons and is in danger of missing the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. The absence of Arroyo would mean an expanded role for
AJ Barner this weekend. Barner would make for a more intriguing TE2 streamer in fantasy football if Arroyo is eventually ruled out for Sunday's game. The 22-year-old rookie has only 15 receptions for 179 yards and one touchdown in his first 13 NFL games, leaving him off the radar in most redraft leagues.

Minnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson (shin) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Hockenson logged his lowest snap count of the season at 56 percent during last week's win over the Washington Commanders, catching two of three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown. Hockenson could have picked up this shin issue during the game, which led to more time on the sideline. Regardless, Hockenson will need to be monitored throughout the week. If the injury is serious enough to keep him out,
Josh Oliver figures to see an expanded role during the Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Oliver hauled in two receptions for 24 yards and two touchdowns during last week's victory.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Kirk Cousins completed just 15 of 30 pass attempts in Week 14 for 162 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, both of which came in the second half as the Falcons tried to play catch-up in what turned out to be a 37-9 blowout loss despite being tied 6-6 at the half. The 37-year-old now owns a 3:3 TD:INT through four starts, and will be without top receiver
Drake London (knee) for a third straight game, leaving
Darnell Mooney,
Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee), and
Bijan Robinson as the team's top passing options. The veteran has seen a lot of success when targeting his 6-foot-6 tight end, but it seems Pitts is inexplicably not an option in the red zone, with the 25-year-old last receiving a red zone target back in Week 9, while the likes of
David Sills V and
Dylan Drummond commanded a total of five red zone targets in Week 14 alone. If Cousins can focus his attention on the team's top talent, there could be an opportunity to be fantasy relevant, however, the 4x Pro Bowler is outside the QB2 range for Thursday Night Football.

San Francisco 49ers kicker
Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday and is expected to return in Week 15. Pineiro has missed the previous two games due to a hamstring injury. Still, with extra time to recover from the bye week, Pineiro is expected to return to face the Tennessee Titans. The sixth-year veteran is having a career season, making all 22 field goal attempts this season, and ranking as the 6th-ranked kicker on a per-game basis. With the 49ers listed as big favorites and one of the highest implied totals of the weekend, Pineiro is a sneaky option as a kicker this week for fantasy purposes.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver
Jordan Addison (Achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice as the team prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football in Week 15. Addison was able to play and finish last week's game against the Washington Commanders, where he had 62 yards on four receptions. The third-year receiver has regressed in 2025, due to lackluster quarterback play, as he's hauled in 37 of 70 targets for 510 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. He faces a fantastic matchup in Week 15 against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While examining the practice reports for Thursday and Friday will be important, if this Achilles issue is a non-factor, Addison offers a starting value in Week 15.

Minnesota Vikings running back
Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice as the team prepares to face the Dallas Cowboys this Sunday night. Jones suffered a shoulder injury in Week 13's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but was able to play and produce in the 31-0 win over the Washington Commanders. Jones' shoulder injury doesn't appear to be a hindering factor in Week 15, as he prepares for a former foe in the Cowboys. They have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Jones has dominated them in the past, averaging 157 scrimmage yards and scoring six touchdowns in three career games against them. Assuming Jones is cleared for this week, he is a solid RB2 option for fantasy managers this week.

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver
Pat Bryant (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice and is not looking good heading into this week's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Bryant appeared on the injury report late last week with a hamstring injury, which limited him during Thursday and Friday's practices before Week 14. According to Broncos Insider Benjamin Allbright, Bryant is expected to be sidelined for Week 15. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will determine whether he can play in Week 15, but
Troy Franklin would be the biggest beneficiary if Bryant misses this week.

While the Los Angeles Rams held a walkthrough on Wednesday, it was expected that veteran wide receiver
Davante Adams (hamstring) would not have participated if it were a full-padded practice. According to Nate Atkins of The Athletic, Adams doesn't appear to be in danger of missing this weekend's game against the Detroit Lions. Adams has missed several Wednesday practice sessions this season due to hamstring soreness, but that hasn't affected his ability to play in games. In 13 games this season, he has hauled in 56 of 105 targets for 718 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns, paving the way to a WR6 ranking this season. The Rams face the Lions in Week 15, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will be key in determining Adams' availability this week, but if healthy, fire up the star receiver as a WR1 in an easy matchup.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Olamide Zaccheaus (hamstring) is on the Week 15 injury report and was listed as limited in Wednesday's practice with a hamstring injury, according to The Athletic's Kevin Fishbain. With
Rome Odunze out in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to a stress fracture in his foot, Zaccheaus played 79% of the snaps, his second-highest number of snaps played this year. The 28-year-old also found the end zone for only the second time this season, but it came on only two receptions for seven yards on three targets. Zaccheaus should be good to play this weekend against the Cleveland Browns, but even if Odunze misses a second straight game, he'll profile as more of a touchdown-dependent WR5/flex for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. Rookie
Luther Burden III is the better upside wideout in Chicago with Odunze not at 100%.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) was listed as a limited participant in practice on Thursday due to a foot injury that kept him from playing in the Week 14 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, according to Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic. Odunze is dealing with a stress fracture in his foot and was unable to practice at all last week. The Bears don't believe the 23-year-old's injury will keep him out for long, though, and a return to a limited practice on Wednesday is a good sign. However, Odunze isn't out of the woods yet and might need to upgrade to a full practice later this week to have a chance to return for a Week 15 tilt on Sunday against the visiting Cleveland Browns. His foot injury likely explains his limited production in recent games, as Odunze hasn't had more than three catches in a game since Nov. 9. If Odunze is limited or out again in Week 15, it will mean more opportunities for rookie receiver
Luther Burden III and rookie tight end
Colston Loveland.

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said on Wednesday that wide receiver
Tutu Atwell (hamstring) will be activated from Injured Reserve this week, according to Sarah Barshop of ESPN. Atwell hasn't played since Week 7, but he figures to be active for this Sunday's showdown against the visiting Detroit Lions in Week 15. The 26-year-old caught only four of his nine targets for 164 yards and one touchdown in six games played before his hamstring injury. Atwell is certainly a deep threat in an explosive Rams offense -- he's averaging a career-best 41 yards per catch -- but it's hard to envision him doing enough to be worthy of a waiver-wire pickup in most fantasy leagues down the stretch. Receivers
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams draw the vast majority of looks from quarterback
Matthew Stafford in this offense.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb (concussion), who suffered a concussion in the loss to the Detroit Lions last Thursday night, was officially limited in practice on Wednesday, according to Pro Football Talk. Lamb is in the league's concussion protocol, but head coach Brian Schottenheimer said the 26-year-old only has one or two boxes to check before being cleared to play in a Sunday night matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Things are trending in the right direction. It wouldn't hurt for fantasy managers to pick up
Ryan Flournoy just in case, though, after the Dallas wideout caught nine of 13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown last Thursday night with Lamb injured. If active, Lamb should be in all starting fantasy lineups in the first week of the playoffs in most leagues. He's tied with
Amon-Ra St. Brown with 14.8 half-PPR points per game.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (ankle) was listed as limited in the team's practice on Wednesday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. Demercado has missed the last three games due to a high-ankle sprain, but if he can upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday, he should have a good chance to return this weekend when the team takes on the Houston Texans. The 26-year-old could be worth a pickup in deep PPR leagues for fantasy managers who still have something left to play for now that it's official that
Trey Benson (knee) will not return in 2025. Demercado has only 31 carries in nine games this year, but he's averaging 7.8 yards per carry and has caught eight passes for 64 yards. If he misses a fourth straight game, it will be
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter once again splitting Arizona's backfield touches in a pass-heavy attack led by veteran quarterback
Jacoby Brissett.
