The Cleveland Browns have placed running back
Jerome Ford (shoulder) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday. With only four games remaining, Ford's season will come to an end after suffering a shoulder injury during Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 26-year-old totaled 24 carries for 73 yards to go with 26 receptions (32 targets) for 103 yards in 13 games this season as Cleveland's primary passing-down back. His role gradually faded as the season went along, playing just 21.8% of the offensive snaps since Week 7. Rookie
Quinshon Judkins will continue to lead Cleveland's backfield, while rookie
Dylan Sampson will be the main beneficiary of Ford's absence and should be considered as a waiver-wire pickup in deep PPR leagues this week as RB depth.

Free-agent right-hander
Michael King appears to be the New York Mets' top rotation target this offseason, a source confirmed to MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. King recently held a Zoom meeting with the Mets. President of baseball operations David Stearns is hesitant to sign a starting pitcher to a long-term deal of five or more years, according to sources, which could take them out of the market for other top starters this year, such as
Framber Valdez,
Ranger Suarez, and Tatsuya Imai. The 30-year-old King was excellent in his first year with the San Diego Padres in 2024, posting a 2.95 ERA in 173 2/3 innings, but injuries limited him to only 15 starts in 2025. King doesn't have the same reliable track record as other starters on the market, which is why he may not require a deal of at least five years. One talent evaluator said that King "may be the most talented starter on the market." For fantasy baseball managers, King will be a pretty big risk/reward in 2026.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback
Daniel Jones (Achilles) was placed on Injured Reserve on Tuesday after suffering a season-ending torn Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Head coach Shane Steichen said Jones is expected to undergo surgery "within the week." It's a devastating injury for Jones and the Colts after an incredible start to his tenure in Indianapolis. The 28-year-old was on pace for a career-best season, completing 68% of his passes for 3,101 yards, 19 touchdowns, and eight interceptions while adding 45 carries for 164 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. With rookie quarterback
Riley Leonard (knee) considered week-to-week with a PCL sprain and
Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) on Injured Reserve, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers to their practice squad on Tuesday. Rivers is expected to be the starter eventually, but it's to be determined if he or
Brett Rypien will start in a tough Week 15 matchup on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

The Los Angeles Angels are acquiring infielder
Vaughn Grissom from the Boston Red Sox on Tuesday in exchange for outfielder Isaiah Jackson, sources told Chris Cotillo of Mass Live. The Red Sox acquired Grissom in the trade that sent left-hander
Chris Sale to the Braves. The 24-year-old middle infielder was expected to eventually become Boston's primary second baseman, but that never happened. Grissom spent all of the 2025 campaign toiling at Triple-A Worcester after hitting .190/.246/.219 with no home runs in 31 games at the big-league level in 2024. He is out of minor-league options at this point. The former 11th-round pick by Atlanta in 2019 will have a chance to carve out a spot at either second or third base in Anaheim in spring training. Grissom has dabbled in left field, but most of his experience comes at the keystone.

Indianapolis Colts running back
Jonathan Taylor is expected to see a "heavy dose" of work in the coming weeks after starting quarterback
Daniel Jones (Achilles) tore his Achilles in the Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Taylor, who is currently second in the league with 282 total touches, will have an even bigger workload as the Colts look to take some pressure off of 44-year-old quarterback Philip Rivers, who will be expected to start for the Colts sooner rather than later. The superstar running back has slowed down from his torrid early-season pace over the past three games, handling 58 carries for 217 yards and a touchdown with five receptions (eight targets) for 44 yards as a receiver. It remains to be seen if Taylor will be taking hand-offs from Rivers or
Brett Rypien in Week 15, but he'll look to get back on track in a tough matchup on the road against the Seattle Seahawks.

Miami Heat guard
Dru Smith (hip) got a spot start on Saturday but was listed as questionable for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal contest with the Magic. Smith was upgraded to available, but he'll likely return to the bench with
Tyler Herro (toe) and
Davion Mitchell (groin) ready to return after missing Saturday's game. In his start, Smith only managed four points and two assists in 19 minutes in the Heat's loss, but he'll look to be productive as he returns to the second unit against the Magic. The 27-year-old has flashed some upside off the bench, but with Miami likely leaning more heavily on its starters, his role will likely be limited in Tuesday's matchup.

Atlanta Falcons running back
Bijan Robinson rushed 20 times for 86 yards in Sunday's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, adding two catches for eight yards. While it was a solid effort, the team was unable to record a single touchdown in the contest, leaving Robinson well outside the RB2 ranks for the week. With
Kirk Cousins playing mediocre football right now, and with
Tyler Allgeier eating into Robinson's red zone opportunities, the 23-year-old has been less consistent than he was earlier in the season. Nevertheless, he's talented enough to bust loose at any moment, as he had done the week prior (193 total yards, one touchdown), and season-long fantasy managers will need to continue to plug in the former first-rounder as the fantasy playoffs descend on many leagues this week. Week 15 brings a Thursday night matchup against a pretty stout Buccaneers rush defense, which held the third-year pro to his lowest rushing output of the season way back in Week 1, but Robinson also managed to rack up 100 yards through the air in that game. He'll still likely be an RB1 for this week's matchup.

December 9, 2025
Miami Heat guard/forward
Pelle Larsson (hip) was listed as probable but has been upgraded to available for Tuesday's NBA Cup Quarterfinal game against the Magic, along with
Davion Mitchell and
Tyler Herro. Larsson has played 23 games (16 starts) this season and is averaging 9.0 points, 3.3 assists, 2.5 rebounds, and 22.4 minutes per game. The 24-year-old from Sweden missed Saturday's loss to the Kings and had come off the bench with a minimal impact in four of his five games before that. His return to the rotation will likely limit the minutes of
Nikola Jovic and
Simone Fontecchio, who got extra playing time in Saturday's short-handed rotation.
--Zach ThompsonSource: NBA Injury Report
December 9, 2025
Miami Heat guard
Davion Mitchell (groin) missed his team's game on Sunday, but he'll be able to return to action on Tuesday, as expected when he was given the probable tag. Mitchell's return will be just in time for the NBA Cup Quarterfinals contest against the Magic on Tuesday night, when
Tyler Herro (toe) will also be back in the backcourt. Mitchell has produced 9.7 points and 7.8 assists in 30.0 minutes per game in his 23 starts for the Heat this season. He has a good matchup against the Magic, although Herro's return to the backcourt could curb his usage a bit. On such a small slate this Tuesday, use Mitchell as you normally would since he has the green light to get back in action after missing just one game.

December 9, 2025
A source close to Indianapolis Colts quarterback Philip Rivers described the 44-year-old signal-caller as a player who looks to be in better shape now than when he last played in 2020, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. "It's a no-brainer for who gives them the best chance," the source said. The Colts signed Rivers to their practice squad on Tuesday, with
Daniel Jones (Achilles) done for the year and rookie
Riley Leonard (knee) week-to-week with a PCL sprain.
Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) is on Injured Reserve. Rivers, an eight-time Pro Bowler, figures to be Indy's choice to start in Week 15 on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks over
Brett Rypien, the only other QB on their roster. In his last NFL action with the Colts in 2020, Rivers led the team to the playoffs and completed 68% of his passes for 24 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 16 games. Expect the Colts to lean heavily on star running back
Jonathan Taylor this weekend and going forward. At best, Rivers will be a low-upside desperation option in superflex leagues in Week 15 if he makes the start.

December 9, 2025
Miami Heat guard
Tyler Herro (toe) will be able to return as expected when the Heat visit the Magic in an NBA Cup Quarterfinals contest on Tuesday night. He was listed as probable but upgraded to available on Tuesday afternoon. Herro was able to practice on Monday after missing two games, and his return will likely push Kel'el Ware back to the bench, with
Bam Adebayo sliding back to center. Herro has only played five games this season while battling injuries, but he produced 23.8 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.2 assists per contest, and he'll be a huge part of Miami's offense in his return on Tuesday as they look to advance to the Semifinals by knocking off their in-state rivals.

Denver Nuggets forward
Aaron Gordon (hamstring) and guard
Christian Braun (ankle) are not expected to return until after Christmas, per coach David Adelman. When asked about Gordon and Braun's recovery, Adelman said, "I would imagine they celebrate the holiday without playing, but we'll see." Braun was given a six-week timeline about four weeks ago, so it's not surprising that he still has a ways to go, but Gordon was given a timeline of four to six weeks three weeks ago, so he could have been nearing a return. Without Gordon and Braun,
Peyton Watson and
Spencer Jones should continue to have a chance to shine while veterans
Tim Hardaway Jr. and
Bruce Brown Jr. continue to get more playing time on the wings as well.

Atlanta Braves manager Walt Weiss said that he's open to moving outfielder
Ronald Acuna Jr. back to the leadoff spot next season, according to Mark Bowman of MLB.com. The vast majority of Acuna's big-league plate appearances have come in the leadoff spot for Atlanta. This year's National League Comeback Player of the Year has hit .294/.387/.535 with a .921 OPS in 3,091 plate appearances in the No. 1 spot in the batting order in Atlanta. The 27-year-old former MVP was limited to 412 plate appearances in 2025 while recovering from the second torn ACL of his career, and he also missed some time late in the year with a calf injury. Acuna was his usual outstanding self when he was on the field, slashing .290/.417/.518 with 21 home runs, but he stole just nine bases. When healthy, Acuna remains one of the top all-around players in the game, but he has played 100 games in a season just twice in the last five years. A move back to leadoff would be ideal for his fantasy upside.

Toronto Raptors guard
Immanuel Quickley (illness) was downgraded to questionable on Tuesday afternoon before his team faces the Knicks in the NBA Cup Quarterfinals. Quickley played through the same illness on Sunday and logged 31 minutes against Boston with 11 points and five assists. Since
Jamal Shead (quad) is also questionable, the Raptors could be very shorthanded in the backcourt. If both are out, the Raptors would be forced to go with more of Ja'Kobe Walter and
Gradey Dick while
Scottie Barnes would serve more as the team's point forward. Quickley has averaged16.5 points and 6.2 assists, and if he plays through the illness again on Tuesday, the first-round pick will have a revenge game narrative against the Knicks in Toronto.

Miami Dolphins tight end
Darren Waller has not looked the same in two games since his return from a stint on Injured Reserve for a pectoral injury. In the last two contests, Waller has three receptions for 60 yards and no touchdowns on six targets. The 33-year-old veteran played only 37% of the snaps in the Week 14 win over the New York Jets on Sunday, which was down from 47% in his return in Week 13. Not only did he see fewer snaps, but he was outsnapped by both
Greg Dulcich and
Julian Hill at the position. Waller had one catch on three targets for 13 yards and added one carry for four yards versus the Jets. After coming out of retirement to play for Miami, he scored four touchdowns in his first four games. It's possible that Waller needs some time to get back up to speed, but fantasy managers can't afford to wait. He will be a risky, touchdown-dependent TE2 streamer in fantasy in Week 15 versus the Steelers, especially if Dulcich continues to be involved.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver
Alec Pierce has become the team's WR2 behind
Michael Pittman Jr. this year in Indy and led the team with 80 receiving yards in their Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He actually leads the Colts with 769 receiving yards on 38 receptions through 14 weeks. However, Pierce's situation in Indy has taken a turn for the worse following quarterback
Daniel Jones' season-ending Achilles tear. Rookie backup
Riley Leonard (knee) has a sprained PCL, too, and will likely miss some time. The 25-year-old Pierce has been a reliable deep threat for the Colts this year and is averaging a league-high 20.2 yards per catch on 67 targets in 2025. Pierce is rostered in 65% of Yahoo leagues, but he's going to be a pretty shaky starting option for fantasy managers in a tough Week 15 matchup against the Seahawks, with either Philip Rivers or
Brett Rypien leading Indy's offense.
--Keith HernandezSource: ESPN.com
December 9, 2025
Green Bay Packers wide receiver
Romeo Doubs' recent downturn over the last four games has coincided with
Christian Watson's ascension in the Packers' offense as the top target. Doubs continues to run routes at a fairly solid clip, with over 72% routes per dropback in the last four games. Despite that, Doubs has just 10 receptions and 101 yards in his previous four games combined. In Week 14 against the Bears, Doubs posted his worst full-game performance of the season, with just two catchless targets. Doubs had some trust in the middle of the season when tight end
Tucker Kraft went down with his season-ending injury, but since Watson's return, Doubs has been largely irrelevant for fantasy football. In a tough Week 15 matchup in Denver against the Broncos, Doubs is a desperation flex play at best.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal reports that the Houston Astros have spoken to the Pittsburgh Pirates about right-hander
Mike Burrows. However, those talks have cooled since the Pirates acquired outfield prospect
Jhostynxon Garcia from the Boston Red Sox recently. Houston is seeking controllable young starting pitchers and could offer center fielder
Jake Meyers in return. Burrows, 26, is coming off his second major-league season with the Pirates in 2025. In 96 innings pitched, he went 2-4 with a 3.94 ERA (4.00 FIP) and 1.24 WHIP with 97 strikeouts and 31 walks in 23 appearances (19 starts). He mostly features a fastball, changeup, and a slider, with all three pitches getting plenty of swings and misses. Burrows has been overshadowed in Pittsburgh by all their talented young arms, but he could become an intriguing flier in fantasy leagues in 2026 if he's moved to the Astros and joins their starting rotation.

Minnesota Vikings tight end
T.J. Hockenson caught one of
J.J. McCarthy's career-high three touchdown passes in a Week 14 win over the Commanders, all of which went to tight ends, with
Josh Oliver bringing in the other two. With the Vikings cruising to an easy victory, there was little passing volume to go around, but Hockenson's three targets tied for third on the team. Unfortunately, leading into a Week 15 matchup against an improved Cowboys defense, Hockenson provides an almost non-existent floor if he can't find the end zone again. In his last five games with McCarthy under center, he has averaged fewer than 18 yards on 2.6 receptions per game. With all NFL teams now past their bye weeks, there should be more reliable waiver options for any fantasy managers streaming the position through the playoffs.

December 9, 2025
Seattle wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed is coming off his best game in a Seahawks uniform and is currently rostered in about 50% of leagues, making him an interesting waiver add in Week 15. In the Week 14 win over the Falcons, he caught four of his five targets for 67 yards, while his 100-yard kick return touchdown blew open what was a tight game to that point. Shaheed's usage since being traded to Seattle had been underwhelming, but his 76% of snaps lined up wide against Atlanta marked a season-high, and his 12.8-yard average depth of target was nearly two and a half yards higher than he had seen across his first four games with the Seahawks. Seattle faces a suddenly reeling Colts team in Week 15 that ranks 29th in the league in fantasy points above expectation surrendered to the wide receiver position.

The Boston Red Sox really want to bring veteran third baseman
Alex Bregman back after a strong first season in Boston in 2025. However, they are also pricing every available option in case Bregman goes elsewhere, which includes a potential trade for Houston Astros third baseman
Isaac Paredes, according to The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal. The BoSox could still trade for Paredes and play him at first base if Bregman re-signs. Paredes is projected to earn $9.3 million in 2026 and is under club control for two more years. The price for the 26-year-old is likely to be steep, though, with Houston looking for controllable starting pitchers. The Astros are interested in young lefties
Payton Tolle and
Connelly Early. If Paredes is dealt, the Astros could shift
Carlos Correa to the hot corner. Paredes was limited to 102 games with a hamstring injury in 2025, but his fly-ball tendencies as a right-handed hitter could play very nicely at Fenway Park. In limited time, he still managed 20 homers in his first year in Houston.

Atlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. has impressed second-year offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, who on Tuesday told the media that his 25-year-old pass catcher has made huge strides since last season. Pitts has been the TE12 in Half-PPR formats, and his 631 receiving yards through 13 games have already surpassed what he was able to do in a full 17-game slate in 2024. Unfortunately, the endzone has still eluded him, as his Week 4 touchdown against the Commanders still stands as his lone score on the year. Heading into the fantasy playoffs, Pitts provides a reliable floor, having now hit at least six receptions and 80 yards in back-to-back games. He is RotoBaller's TE4 in a Week 15 road matchup against the Buccaneers.
--Patrick McGrathSource: Terrin Waack
December 9, 2025
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Cooper Kupp finished Week 14 as the WR19 in half-PPR formats, but it came largely on the back of a walk-in touchdown that helped to mask his low volume. Kupp has rarely been taken off the field this year, but in a passing offense run almost entirely through
Jaxon Smith-Njigba, he has failed to earn more than four targets in six of his last seven outings, and Sunday's touchdown marked only his second in a Seahawks uniform. Across 12 games this season, he has topped 40 receiving yards only three times, and only once since Week 6. While fantasy managers may have relied on him throughout the year as an injury or bye week replacement, it is unlikely he finds a way into any starting lineups for the fantasy playoffs, and he is best left on the waiver wire.

The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal writes that a trade of Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star second baseman
Ketel Marte might take time for teams to warm to Arizona's asking price, which one rival executive described as a "superstar-type return." Marte is owed a reasonable $102.5 million over the next six seasons, with $41 million deferred and the payouts not starting until 10 years after the money is earned. Any interested team would need to be comfortable with Marte's clubhouse fit and the acquisition cost. Rosenthal adds that the D-backs might need the market to play out for "clubs to become more desperate." The Boston Red Sox are among the teams interested in the switch-hitter, with three unidentified teams also in the mix. Arizona is seeking young pitching, and trading Marte would allow them to clear payroll and inject talent. After the 10th day of the 2026 season, Marte will gain full no-trade protection, so if he's dealt, it will most likely be before the start of next season.

Tennessee Titans rookie wide receiver
Elic Ayomanor caught his first touchdown since Week 3 during Sunday's win over the Cleveland Browns. Ayomanor finished with just the one catch for 14 yards on three targets, but it was good to see him find the end zone again after an eight-game drought. The rookie fourth-rounder has held down a full-time role for the Titans this season, playing 81.5% of the snaps in 11 games. He's had a decent season, considering how poor the Titans' offense has been, totaling 30 receptions for 353 yards and three touchdowns on 67 targets. He missed the Week 12 game due to a hamstring injury and has faded in Tennessee's passing attack since the Week 10 bye, recording four receptions for 30 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets. While his target share gives him a decent floor, Ayomanor still profiles as a flex option in deep leagues in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Chicago White Sox outfielder
Luis Robert Jr. is being linked to the San Diego Padres by Bruce Levine of 670 The Score. Meanwhile, the White Sox are being linked to right-hander
Dustin May, reliever
Pete Fairbanks, and hitters
Mike Tauchman,
Ryan O'Hearn, and
Jake Meyers. This offseason could finally be the time that the White Sox trade Robert after picking up his $20 million option for the 2026 season in early November. The 28-year-old Cuban has elite physical skills both on offense and defense, but staying healthy has been an issue. Robert was unable to play more than 98 games in his first three years in the majors, and he's only played over 100 games in two of his six seasons. He has slashed just .223/.288/.372 while dealing with injuries the last two years, but his 38-homer, 20-steal season in 2023 continues to tempt teams. A trade to SD might only be possible if the Friars do the unthinkable and send
Fernando Tatis Jr. packing.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Tim Patrick had five receptions for 78 yards and a touchdown on six targets during Sunday's win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. Patrick posted season-best marks in catches and yards while scoring his third touchdown of the year. The 32-year-old wideout saw an uptick in snaps with
Parker Washington (hip) out of the lineup, playing 65.6% of the offensive snaps, his second-highest mark of the season. Patrick was acquired by the Jaguars from the Detroit Lions before the start of the regular season, and while he hasn't played a massive role, he's earned at least four targets in three of the past four games. Patrick still profiles as more of a deep-league option, but that could change if he stacks another performance like this. He'll be worth considering as a deep-league flex play in Week 15 against the New York Jets if Washington misses another game.

Besides the New York Yankees, the New York Mets, San Francisco Giants, Philadelphia Phillies, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Angels, Cincinnati Reds, and Los Angeles Dodgers are interested in signing free-agent outfielder
Cody Bellinger, according to his agent, Scott Boras. The Phillies just re-signed designated hitter
Kyle Schwarber to a five-year, $150 million deal, so the Phillies are probably off the table for Bellinger. The 30-year-old's market is robust following a strong year in the Bronx in 2025, in which he hit .272/.334/.480 with an .813 OPS, 29 home runs, 98 RBI, 89 runs scored, and 13 stolen bases in 152 regular-season games. His 29 dingers were the most he's hit since his MVP campaign with the Dodgers in 2019. Moving away from Yankee Stadium won't be ideal for his 2026 fantasy value, but Bellinger is still a five-category asset that doesn't strike out often despite his big swing.

Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott is in line for more opportunities after
Zach Ertz (knee) unfortunately suffered a torn ACL during Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Sinnott has played just 26.9% of the snaps for Washington this season, operating as the team's third tight end behind Ertz and
John Bates. The second-year tight end has been solid as a blocker, but he hasn't seen many opportunities as a receiver with Ertz still clearly being a useful pass-catcher. Sinnott, a 2024 second-round pick, has strong athletic traits and should be expected to slot in as Washington's top receiving tight end for the rest of the season. In 29 career games, he's hauled in all nine of his targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns. He recorded a reception for eight yards on Washington's opening drive against the Vikings, but there's also a possibility that he splits reps with
Colson Yankoff. Sinnott is the better bet between the two because of his draft capital, and he profiles as a low-end TE2 for the Week 15 game against the division-rival New York Giants.

Free-agent shortstop
Bo Bichette and the Boston Red Sox recently had a Zoom meeting, with Bichette coming away impressed with the team, sources told Ari Alexander. The Red Sox have made it known that they are very interested in signing Bichette, who is by far the top shortstop available on the open market this offseason. The 27-year-old might be a fallback option for Boston if they cannot re-sign
Alex Bregman following his strong 2025 season in Beantown. The 27-year-old Bichette has played only shortstop in the big leagues with Toronto when fully healthy, but teams that are interested in him this winter could move him to second base. If Boston were to sign Bichette, they could push him to the keystone, which would allow young infielder
Marcelo Mayer to play third if Bregman isn't brought back. Although a knee sprain late in the regular season caused him to miss time, Bichette's 2025 season was a big bounce-back campaign after an injury-plagued 2024. Since he became a full-time starter, he's hit .292 while averaging 19 homers and 10 stolen bases.
