Washington Commanders wide receiver
Noah Brown (ribs) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants due to a rib injury. Brown suffered a back injury earlier in the game that he was able to return from, but his day is now done due to a rib ailment. The 29-year-old recorded one catch for 28 yards on one target before exiting the game. It's been an injury-marred 2025 for Brown, as he's appeared in just four games for Washington this season. Without him, Commanders wideouts
Jaylin Lane and
Treylon Burks could both see more playing time alongside star wide receivers

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Andre Baccellia (neck) has been ruled out for the remainder of his team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans due to a neck injury. ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reports that the 28-year-old has full movement of all his extremities and is headed to a Houston hospital for further evaluation. Baccellia did not earn a target or a reception before exiting the game. The Cardinals entered the week already missing wide receivers
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel),
Xavier Weaver (hamstring), and
Greg Dortch (chest), so the team is now even more short-handed at the position. Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson and tight end
Trey McBride will likely continue to dominate from a target perspective, while wideouts
Jalen Brooks and
Trent Sherfield Sr. could both see more playing time.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end
Noah Fant (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens with an ankle injury. The 28-year-old did not record a target or reception before exiting the game. Fant entered Week 15 with 33 receptions for 283 yards and three touchdowns on 39 targets across 12 games this season. If he is unable to return in Week 15, Bengals tight ends
Mike Gesicki,
Drew Sample, and
Tanner Hudson could all see increased playing time. Gesicki has worked as the team's lead receiving tight end in recent weeks, earning 16 targets over his last three games heading into Week 15.

Houston Texans rookie running back
Woody Marks (ankle) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals due to an ankle injury. Marks recorded seven carries for 30 yards and one reception for eight yards before exiting the game. Houston entered the week already without veteran
Nick Chubb (ribs), so the team's running back depth is being challenged in Week 15. If Marks is unable to return,
Dare Ogunbowale and
Jawhar Jordan would likely see the majority of Houston's backfield snaps for the remainder of the game against Arizona. Ogunbowale and Jordan entered the week with just four combined carries on the season.

Washington Commanders left tackle Laremy Tunsil (shoulder) is officially questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the New York Giants due to a shoulder injury. The 31-year-old has started all 14 of Washington's games to this point in 2025. Tunsil is generally considered one of the best left tackles in the NFL and is in the midst of another excellent season. Entering Week 15, Pro Football Focus graded Tunsil as the third-best pass-blocking tackle and eighth-best player overall at the position out of 81 qualified players. If he's unable to return, Brandon Coleman would likely handle left tackle duties for Washington for the remainder of Week 15.

The Kansas City Chiefs said wide receiver
Xavier Worthy (head) is being evaluated for a possible concussion during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The second-year receiver did not have a catch on one target at the time of his exit. Already on the verge of missing the playoffs, the defending AFC Champions likely will have to run the table to keep their slim odds alive. If Worthy were to miss time, the Chiefs likely would lean into a familiar cast of characters, including
JuJu Smith-Schuster,
Marquise Brown, and
Tyquan Thornton behind No. 1 receiver
Rashee Rice.

The Washington Commanders deemed wide receiver
Noah Brown (back) questionable to return to their Week 15 game against the New York Giants. The 29-year-old receiver has been used sparingly this season, but did connect with backup quarterback
Marcus Mariota for a 28-yard gain on Sunday. Fellow receiver
Luke McCaffrey (collarbone) remains on injured reserve, opening the door for midseason addition
Treylon Burks to step into a larger role. For fantasy purposes, Brown is already in a depth role that doesn't warrant a roster spot in the majority of formats.

December 14, 2025
The Arizona Cardinals said running back
Bam Knight (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans after departing due to an ankle injury. The fourth-year pro was carted off, just the latest in a brutal season for the Cardinals. Quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot), running back
James Conner (foot), and running back
Trey Benson (knee) are already out for the season, while 2024 first-round pick
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out today for the fourth time in five weeks. If Knight is unable to return Sunday, the Cards likely will lean on the tandem of
Michael Carter and
Emari Demercado (ankle), the latter of whom was questionable for the game but is active.

In a surprise development, Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns after originally being active, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The second-year receiver was given the all-clear to play on Sunday, but re-aggravated the injury before the game and won't play at all. It was an unfortunate development for any manager who started Odunze, as the news arrived just minutes before kickoff without hardly any notice to make a lineup change. Odunze came into Week 15 ranked as the No. 29 overall PPR receiver with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns, but managers will have to hope for good news in the next couple of days about his status for Week 16 against Green Bay.

The Los Angeles Rams plan to prioritize a long-term extension for superstar wide receiver
Puka Nacua, according to NFL.com's Ian Rapoport. The Rams will reportedly try to make Nacua one of the highest-paid wide receivers in the NFL during the upcoming offseason. The BYU product is in the middle of his third season and has been dominant every year, establishing himself as one of the best young receivers in football. As a non-first-round pick, Nacua is only under team control for four years after being drafted, which means his contract is currently set to expire after the 2026 campaign. An extension would give the Rams long-term stability at the wide receiver position with
Davante Adams, 32, more of a short-term option. Fantasy managers would appreciate the consistency, too, as Nacua was the WR4 in PPR leagues as a rookie and is the overall WR2 so far this year.

Houston Texans tight end
Harrison Bryant (neck, shoulder) was activated from Injured Reserve this week and is officially active for Sunday's game against the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 15. Bryant will return after missing four games on IR with neck and shoulder injuries. The 27-year-old isn't a realistic fantasy option at the tight end position in his return as a backup behind
Dalton Schultz. Before getting hurt, Bryant had only two receptions on six targets for seven yards in his first eight games with the Texans in 2025. He will be battling for TE2 duties the rest of the season alongside
Cade Stover. If anything were to happen to Schultz, Bryant would be an option off the waiver wire as a TE2 streamer.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end
Darnell Washington (concussion) has been cleared from the league's concussion protocol and has been upgraded to active for the Monday night contest against the visiting Miami Dolphins to close out Week 15 action, according to director of communications Burt Lauten. Washington was initially listed as questionable on the team's final injury report on Saturday, but he has since been cleared by an independent neurologist and will play against Miami. The 6-foot-7, 264-pounder should be treated as TE3 in fantasy despite his growing role in recent weeks. Washington has caught five of his seven targets for 79 yards in the last three games, but having to contend for targets with fellow TEs
Pat Freiermuth and
Jonnu Smith every week makes him too hard to trust as a starter in fantasy.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially inactive on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman was a mid-week addition to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report and will now sit out a crucial divisional clash this weekend. The 26-year-old had the best year of his NFL career in 2024, but he has not continued that momentum into 2025, as he's caught just 18 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets through 11 games this year. His absence against a porous Bengals defense will create more opportunities for veteran
DeAndre Hopkins, who won't be a terrible sleeper choice as a WR4/flex in Week 15. Bateman was limited in Thursday's practice before sitting out on Friday. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to return in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. He is currently rostered in only 14% of Yahoo leagues.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) is officially inactive this Sunday for a divisional matchup against the hosting New England Patriots. Bernard was listed as questionable for this weekend, but he will end up missing a third straight game due to his elbow injury. The 26-year-old's next chance to return will come in Week 16 on the road in Cleveland versus the Browns. Against the 11-2 Patriots, the Bills' defense/special teams unit is one to fade in fantasy football lineups in Week 15. With Bernard on the sidelines again on Sunday, Shaq Thompson will draw another start for the Bills at linebacker. In terms of fantasy points per game in IDP formats, Bernard ranks as the LB46 with 56 tackles (40 solo), seven tackles for loss, one interception, three pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries in 10 starts.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially active for the Week 15 game on Sunday in New England against the division-rival Patriots. With Palmer returning to action,
Gabe Davis will be a healthy scratch for Buffalo. The 26-year-old Palmer will return to the WR rotation after missing the team's last two games. He'll provide a deep threat for quarterback
Josh Allen, but fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a flex play this weekend. Palmer is unlikely to see much playing time behind
Khalil Shakir,
Keon Coleman,
Tyrell Shavers, and
Brandin Cooks. Tight ends
Dalton Kincaid and
Dawson Knox will probably be more involved as well against a very capable Patriots defense. Palmer just hasn't made much noise at all in his first year in Buffalo in 2025, catching 18 of his 29 targets for 272 yards and zero touchdowns.
