Commanders Not Shutting Down Jayden Daniels for the Year
Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that the team is not talking about shutting down quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the year, according to Tom Schad of Post Sports. Daniels has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants after aggravating his left elbow during last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings in his first game since dislocating his elbow in Week 9. The second-year quarterback is expected to play again this season, as the injury is not considered to be a long-term issue, but the possibility that Daniels doesn't return this season appears more likely now. The reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year's sophomore season has been overshadowed by injury, as he also missed two games to a knee injury and one game to a hamstring injury before his elbow issue. Marcus Mariota is set to make his seventh start of the year in Week 15 versus the Giants at MetLife Stadium.

Josh Jacobs Not Practicing on Wednesday
Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reports. Jacobs was the lone Packers player not participating in Wednesday's practice session. The veteran was seen riding a bike and doing rehab work off to the side as practice began. It's not a great sign for the 28-year-old to open the week, but the team is likely just giving him a rest day. The 28-year-old missed Green Bay's Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings after injuring his knee in Week 11 against the New York Giants, but he returned for the Packers' past two games and handled his normal workload. If Jacobs winds up missing the Week 15 game versus the Denver Broncos, Emanuel Wilson would be in line to make another spot start. Jacobs is a must-start in fantasy lineups when active.

Lamar Jackson Misses Practice on Wednesday
Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Jackson has now missed at least one day of practice for the fifth straight week as he has been limited by ankle, knee, and toe ailments over the last few weeks after missing multiple games with a hamstring injury earlier in the year. The star quarterback hasn't quite looked like himself since returning in Week 9, completing 58.7% of his passes with six touchdowns to four interceptions while totaling 38 rushing attempts for 141 yards and one touchdown, which came this past week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson will likely return to practice in some capacity on Thursday and Friday and be good to go for the Week 15 divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Marvin Harrison Jr. Not Practicing on Wednesday
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, per Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Harrison returned in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after missing Weeks 11 and 12 due to an appendectomy, but then he missed the Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Rams after being listed as a DNP every day of practice last week with a heel injury. The second-year wideout is in danger of missing his fourth game in five weeks. It's been a frustrating season for Harrison, as he's struggled to stay healthy and hasn't taken a big step forward when he's been on the field, totaling 40 receptions for 594 yards and four touchdowns on 69 targets in 10 games. If Harrison is forced to miss the Week 15 game against the Houston Texans, Michael Wilson would be in line to see another heavy target share.

Kyle Pitts Sr. Carries Momentum and a Questionable Tag into TNF
Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) tied a season-high on Sunday with 10 targets and eclipsed his season-high yardage total -- which was set in Week 13 -- with 90 yards receiving on six catches. He did not find the end zone, as he's still sitting with just one touchdown on the season, but the 25-year-old has been plenty useful on volume alone, especially in PPR leagues. With Drake London (knee) missing the last three games (and also Week 8), the 6-foot-6 tight end has become Kirk Cousins' favorite pass-catcher, averaging eight targets, six receptions, and 64 yards receiving per contest in the four games with Cousins under center this season. Pitts popped up on the injury report earlier in the week with a knee injury and was a limited participant up to and including Wednesday's practice, resulting in a questionable designation for Thursday's matchup on the road against the Buccaneers. London, however, has been ruled out for TNF, so Pitts could be in line to maintain his temporary status as the team's No. 1 receiver again in Week 15 so long as he's active. Tampa Bay is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but the fifth-year pro shapes up as a mid-range TE1 for Thursday, so fantasy managers will want to double-check his status before kickoff.

Anthony Richardson Sr. Seen at Practice Wednesday
Indianapolis Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) was present at Wednesday's practice for the first time in weeks, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that Richardson wouldn't be activated off Injured Reserve this week, but he also hasn't been ruled out for the season. It's a positive development for the 2023 fourth overall pick, who suffered an orbital fracture in pre-game warmups before the Colts' Week 6 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. With Daniel Jones out for the season with a torn Achilles and rookie Riley Leonard's status up in the air due to a knee injury, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers on Tuesday, and he could start as soon as Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Richardson is still in play to return this season, though his timeline is uncertain. His status will be worth monitoring now that he is seemingly getting closer to making a return.

Drake London Won't Play on Thursday Night
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) has been ruled out for the Thursday night game against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 15, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN. The writing was on the wall for London to miss a fourth straight game after he missed practice on both Monday and Tuesday. The 24-year-old hasn't practiced or played since spraining his PCL back in Week 11. Fantasy managers who stay alive in the playoffs will be hoping that London can return to practice next week and play in Week 16 versus the Arizona Cardinals. With London sidelined again this week, Darnell Mooney will once again be Atlanta's WR1, although he'll be a volatile WR4/flex. Mooney had 74 yards and a touchdown in the first game without London, but in the last two weeks, he's caught only three passes for 31 yards. Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has benefited the most in the last three weeks with London out.

Justin Fields Still Not Practicing
New York Jets quarterback Justin Fields (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, per ESPN's Rich Cimini. Fields came down with a sore knee last week and was held out of the Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The 26-year-old, who has lost the starting QB job, is in danger of missing a second straight game this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars unless he can get back on the field in the next two days. Tyrod Taylor (groin) isn't practicing on Monday either, after getting injured in Sunday's loss to Miami. There's a scenario where Fields could make the start this weekend if he's able to get past his knee injury and Taylor is ruled out. If both Taylor and Fields aren't cleared to play in Week 15, undrafted rookie Brady Cook would make his first NFL start. That would be bad news for all of New York's offensive skill players.

Tyrod Taylor Not Practicing on Wednesday
New York Jets quarterback Tyrod Taylor (groin) is not taking part in practice on Wednesday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Justin Fields (knee) isn't practicing either, so undrafted rookie QB Brady Cook will take the first-team reps under center. Taylor made the start in Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins, but injured his groin early and was replaced by Cook. The 36-year-old veteran went just 1-for-4 passing for six yards and an interception on Sunday. Taylor has two more days to get back on the practice field, but he should be considered questionable to play in Week 15 against the first-place Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He has boosted New York's passing game slightly since taking over the starting gig from Fields, but he doesn't offer very much upside at all in fantasy football. Taylor has completed 59.7% of his passes for 779 yards, five TDs, and five picks in his six games (four starts) in 2025.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Practicing Coming Out of the Bye Week
New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) is at practice on Wednesday, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Tracy suffered a bruised hip in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots in Week 13, but he had the Week 14 bye to rest up and is now back at practice as the Giants begin preparations for a Week 15 divisional clash this Sunday against the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old's injury didn't look good at the time, and he had to be carted to the locker room. He'll probably end up limited on Wednesday, but his presence at practice is a good sign for his availability this weekend. Devin Singletary had 15 touches in Week 13 for 102 scrimmage yards and a touchdown, which has made him a popular waiver-wire pickup going into the fantasy playoffs. Singletary's upside in Week 15 will take a hit, though, if Tracy is able to return to New York's backfield.

Tee Higgins to be Limited on Wednesday
Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) will be limited and take part in the individual portion of practice on Wednesday as part of the league's concussion protocol, according to Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic. Higgins is in the league's concussion protocol again after hitting his head on the turf in Buffalo on Sunday in the Week 14 loss. The 26-year-old is up in the air to play this weekend against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens, but it's good news that he's on the practice field for the first practice of the week. He suffered a concussion back in Week 12 and was held out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Ravens in Week 13, which could play into the decision on whether he'll play this week. Higgins returned with a bang on Sunday with six catches, 92 yards, and two touchdowns, and he's a must-start in fantasy if he's active. If Higgins misses another game, Andrei Iosivas would be in play as a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues.

Garrett Wilson's Practice Window Still Hasn't Opened
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.

Breece Hall Out on Wednesday With Knee Soreness
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.

Brady Cook Getting First-Team Reps on Wednesday
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.

Marcus Mariota to Make Another Start Versus Giants
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.
