Baltimore Ravens tight end
Isaiah Likely has seen an increased amount of work over the last two weeks. He finished as the TE9 in each of the last two weeks in half-PPR formats, and saw six targets in both games while catching nine of the possible 12. The last time he took on the Cincinnati Bengals' defense in Week 13, Likely finished with five catches for 95 yards and a fumble. The Bengals are far and away the weakest defense against opposing tight ends (ranked 32nd on the season and last four weeks), so Likely and
Mark Andrews should both see plenty of opportunities. The biggest issue is the game script and if the Ravens' coaching staff actually wants to commit to the run, roll with Andrews more often, or keep finding Likely. With that being said, Likely projects as the TE12 on RotoBaller's rankings this week.

Baltimore Ravens tight end
Mark Andrews (glute) was cleared from the injury report in time for the rematch against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. He was only limited in Thursday's practice, and immediately was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Andrews has struggled to deliver for his fantasy managers over the last three weeks, but a matchup with the Bengals could help. They are by far the worst team against tight ends in fantasy football as they give up 24.11 fantasy points per game, which is eight points more on average than the second-worst. One issue, however, is that
Isaiah Likely has been getting more involved in recent weeks. Andrews has turned into a risky play, but he does carry TE1 potential in this matchup.

The Chicago Bears' defense has been a turnover-forcing machine in 2025, and continued to do so in Week 14 despite facing a top-10 scoring offense in the NFL. The Bears had an interception in Week 14, which is now their sixth straight game forcing a turnover. They lead the NFL in turnovers forced this season (27), with the next closest teams only having 23 turnovers. Now, they face rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders and the Cleveland Browns in Week 15. While Sanders has been playing well in his three starts so far, but has thrown an interception in three of his first four games. The Bears will look to take advantage of the rookie quarterback and are a fine start as a D/ST in Week 15.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end
Colston Loveland was able to find the endzone in Week 14, hauling in four of five targets for 29 yards and the score In Week 14. With wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) out for last week's game, Loveland and other receivers saw a bigger workload in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. Despite his high draft capital and stellar showing so far, the Bears continue to limit his role. Veteran
Cole Kmet played 75% of the snaps last week, while the rookie played 59% of the snaps. He faces a Cleveland Browns defense that has been average against tight ends this season, but with a limited snap count and lack of passing volume from the Bears offense, Loveland is better left on the bench in Week 15.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver
Luther Burden III led the Bears in receiving in Week 14, hauling in four of six targets for 67 yards in the 28-21 loss to the Green Bay Packers. With second-year receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) inactive for last week's divisional showdown, Burden stepped up as a lead receiver ahead of veteran
D.J. Moore. The rookie receiver played 71% of the snaps, trailing both Moore and
Olamide Zaccheaus, who was trending down before last week. However, if Odunze misses Week 15, Burden could be a starting option in fantasy leagues. He faces a Browns secondary that will be without top cornerback Denzel Ward, who's out with a calf injury. Burden's value depends on whether or not Odunze will play in Week 15, as the rookie could go from a low-end WR3 to a bench option depending on his availability.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
D.J. Moore was unable to capitalize on his expanded opportunities in Week 14, totaling -4 yards on one reception against the Green Bay Packers. Despite
Rome Odunze (foot) being out, Moore struggled and left fantasy managers as frustrated as they've been all season. The run-heavy approach the Bears have been using has been a factor, but his connection with
Caleb Williams is simply not there. He faces the Cleveland Browns in Week 15, who have allowed the fifth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Even if Odunze is out for Week 15, Moore is hard to trust as a starting option from a fantasy perspective.

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.
