Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver
Mike Evans (collarbone), who is questionable to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, is expected to be active, sources tell Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. However, Evans isn't expected to play every snap in his first game back since breaking his collarbone back in Week 7. With the future Hall of Famer likely to be on a pitch count in Week 15, it makes him extremely hard to trust in starting fantasy football lineups, especially for those who are in playoff matchups. The 32-year-old six-time Pro Bowler has been limited to only four games in 2025 and has 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown for the Bucs. The former first-rounder could absolutely be a difference-maker later in the fantasy football playoffs once he's back up to speed, but he'll be a major dice roll on Thursday Night Football.

San Diego Padres president of baseball operations A.J. Preller recently shut down any possible trade speculation surrounding outfielder
Fernando Tatis Jr., telling Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune that Tatis is "somebody that we're not talking about." Preller has been known for making big moves in the trade market during his time in charge in San Diego, but it does not appear that the team is interested in trading away its superstar. Across 691 plate appearances for the Padres in 2025, Tatis Jr. slashed .268/.368/.446 with 25 home runs, 71 RBI, 111 runs scored, and 32 stolen bases. He upped his walk rate to a career high 12.9% while also slashing his strikeout rate to a career low 18.7%. San Diego has Tatis Jr. locked up under contract through 2034, so there is little impetus for the team to move him other than to save money or get back a monstrous haul of talent.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
DK Metcalf (stomach), who went to a Baltimore hospital as a precaution after Sunday's win over the Ravens due to stomach pain, returned to practice on Thursday, according to Mike DeFabo. Head coach Mike Tomlin said earlier this week that he expects Metcalf to be available for the team's Week 15 contest on Monday night versus the visiting Miami Dolphins. The 27-year-old went off for Pittsburgh on Sunday, setting season-highs in catches (seven), targets (12), and receiving yards (148) in the 27-22 victory. It was the first time that Metcalf hit the 100-yard mark since Sept. 28, and only the second time all year in his first season in Pittsburgh. His fantasy managers will be hoping that he can keep it going into the fantasy playoffs in a plus matchup against Miami in primetime. Metcalf should be treated as a low-end WR2 in fantasy in Week 15.

USA Today's Bob Nightengale reports that the Detroit Tigers "surprised teams by engaging in serious talks" around the possibility of trading starting pitcher
Tarik Skubal at the winter meetings this week. Nightengale goes on to predict that Detroit will hang on to Skubal, but it's still noteworthy that the team is apparently willing to listen to offers for its star pitcher. The 29-year-old has won back-to-back American League Cy Young Awards. Across 195 1/3 innings (31 starts) in 2025, Skubal pitched to a 13-6 record with a 2.21 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, and 241 strikeouts. While the Tigers presumably expect to contend, Skubal can be a free agent at the end of the 2026 season. If the team is unwilling to shell out a monster contract, it could decide that getting a trade return for Skubal is better than watching him leave for nothing.

Green Bay Packers running back
Josh Jacobs (knee), who missed a second straight day of practice on Thursday, said his knee stiffened up during the second half of Sunday's win over the Chicago Bears, according to Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. Jacobs had another scan on his knee on Monday, and everything is structurally intact. Despite not having practiced yet this week, he's calling himself day-to-day ahead of Sunday's clash in Denver against the Broncos. The 27-year-old initially injured his knee in the Week 11 win over the Giants at MetLife Stadium, forcing him to miss Week 12. He has handled 37 carries for 169 yards and a touchdown while catching three passes for 14 yards in the last two games in his usual lead-back role. Jacobs is trending toward being questionable for Week 15, but fantasy managers would feel a lot better if he can practice on Friday.
Emanuel Wilson might be worth a speculative waiver-wire pickup in case Jacobs cannot go this weekend.

New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said he views second baseman
Jazz Chisholm Jr. as "currently part of the solution," but that the team will be "open-minded" when asked about a possible trade, per Bryan Hoch of MLB.com. While it doesn't appear that the Yankees are actively shopping Chisholm Jr., it seems that the team may listen to the right offer. Across 531 plate appearances in the Bronx last season, Chisholm Jr. slashed .242/.332/.481 with 31 home runs, 80 RBI, 75 runs scored, and 31 stolen bases. He will play the entire 2026 season, his final year under club control, at 28 years old. If the Yankees don't view Chisholm Jr. as part of their long-term plans, they could look to move on. However, a Chisholm Jr. trade would leave what is presumably a win-now team with a hole at second base. Depending on how the rest of New York's offseason progresses, Chisholm Jr. could be a name to monitor.

Tennessee wide receiver Chris Brazzell II is officially declaring for the 2026 NFL Draft, according to ESPN's Pete Thamel. Brazzell began his collegiate career at Tulane, securing 44 receptions for 711 yards and five touchdowns as a redshirt freshman in 2023. He transferred to Tennessee in 2024 and caught 29 passes for 33 yards and two scores. The 6'5" Texas native took a big step forward in 2025, hauling in 62 passes for 1,017yards (13th nationally) and nine touchdowns (15th nationally). Brazzell was named a First-Team All-SEC performer following the regular season output, and he'll be an attractive NFL prospect as a big-play contested catch specimen at the next level. ESPN lists Brazzell as the No. 34 overall player in the 2026 NFL Draft class.

Washington Commanders tight end
Ben Sinnott is excited to "do what I know I can do" in the final four games of the 2025 season with an expanded role now that
Zach Ertz (knee) is out following a torn ACL that he suffered in the Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, according to Zach Selby of Commanders.com. Sinnott was the second TE off the board in the 2024 NFL draft when Washington took him 53rd overall. He was praised for his route-running but also for his potential as a blocker. More than a third of Sinnott's snaps in the NFL have come on special teams, and he's caught all nine of his targets for 69 yards and two touchdowns in 29 games. The 23-year-old's speed makes him intriguing, and the Commanders have a good matchup this Sunday against a poor New York Giants defense. However, with Sinnott likely sharing playing time with
John Bates, he's still not worth a roster spot in 12-team fantasy leagues.

The Chicago Cubs are signing free-agent relief pitcher
Hoby Milner, per Michael Cerami of Bleacher Nation. Across 70 1/3 innings (70) games with the Texans Rangers in 2025, Milner recorded a 3-4 record with a 3.84 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, and 58 strikeouts. He will turn 35 years old in January 2026. Milner, a left-handed pitcher, specializes in getting out left-handed batters. Across 341 1/3 career big-league innings, lefty batters have slashed .221/.269/.339 against Milner, while righties have punished him to a .277/.343/.451 line. In Chicago, Milner profiles as a middle relief option who will be part of the bridge to projected Cubs closer
Daniel Palencia.

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback
Joe Burrow was very contemplative about his future during a press conference on Wednesday, leading to many raised eyebrows around the league. "If I want to keep doing this, I have to have fun doing this. I have been through a lot. If it's not fun, then what am I doing it for? That is the mindset I am trying to bring to the table," Burrow said. The star QB also added that he has "a lot of things going on" right now, both personal and football-related. We don't know exactly what Burrow is thinking, but he could be losing trust in the Bengals' front office or wondering how long he wants to continue to play football if he keeps getting beaten up. The 29-year-old suffered the third serious injury of his career in Week 2 -- a turf-toe injury that required surgery. ESPN's Adam Schefter points out that Burrow has been sacked a whopping 203 times in 73 career games. It's something to keep an eye on going forward, but for fantasy football purposes, Burrow will continue to be a strong QB1 option as long as he's in Cincy.

The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reports that it's sounding like Philadelphia Eagles offensive tackle Lane Johnson (foot) will need another week before he can return. The Eagles aren't in a rush to bring him back in Week 15 with a date against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Philly has lost three straight games with Johnson out, and they've gone 14-27 when the future Hall of Famer has not played in his career. The 35-year-old missed Wednesday's practice as he continues to deal with a Lisfranc sprain in his right foot. If Johnson misses another game this weekend, Fred Johnson is expected to make another start at right tackle. While we'd still be surprised if the Eagles don't end their losing streak against the hapless Raiders, it's worth noting and could give the Eagles' offensive line problems defending All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver
CeeDee Lamb (concussion) was on the practice field on Thursday for a second straight day as he works his way back from a concussion that he suffered in last Thursday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Todd Archer of ESPN. Barring a setback, it looks like Lamb will be able to play on Sunday night versus the Minnesota Vikings. The 26-year-old was limited in Wednesday's practice and still needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist, but that should come later this week. Lamb has been outproduced by
George Pickens this year, but he had a season-high 121 receiving yards on six receptions last week before suffering a concussion in the second half, showing that he still has plenty of big-play upside when he actually catches the ball. If Lamb is cleared for Week 15, he needs to be in all fantasy football lineups.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver
Tee Higgins (concussion) was back on the field for practice on Thursday after putting in a limited session on Wednesday. Higgins slammed his head down hard on the turf towards the end of the Week 14 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday and was put in the concussion protocol for the second time in the last couple of weeks. The 26-year-old pass-catcher also suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was forced to miss the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. He is trending in the right direction, but Higgins still has boxes to check and must be cleared by an independent neurologist later this week to play on Sunday against the division-rival Ravens. Higgins, who has 667 receiving yards and nine touchdowns on the year, is a must-start in fantasy if he's active. If he's ruled out,
Andrei Iosivas will be a touchdown-dependent WR4/flex option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza has officially won the AP College Football Player of the Year Award, as reported by Indiana's official X account. The Cal transfer has led the Hoosiers to their greatest season in program history, compiling a 13-0 record and winning the Big Ten Championship over Ohio State. Mendoza has completed 71.5% of his passes for 2,980 yards, 33 touchdowns, and six interceptions this season. He's added 240 yards and six touchdowns on the ground. The 22-year-old is a Heisman Trophy finalist, and he could be the No. 1 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, he has the chance to add even more impressive feats to his resume, as Indiana holds the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff. Indiana will meet Alabama or Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.

Despite the recent addition of All-Star closer
Robert Suarez on a three-year, $45 million deal, right-hander
Raisel Iglesias will remain the Atlanta Braves' closer in 2026, a source told Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic. Suarez will open next season as Atlanta's high-priced, high-leverage setup man in front of Iglesias. The 35-year-old Cuban reliever got off to a rough start with the Braves last year, but he rebounded and had a sharp 1.96 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, and 51:12 after the start of June to finish with a 3.21 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 29 saves in 67 1/3 innings. His 85.3% save share was the third-highest among closers in baseball, although that figures to drop in 2026 with Suarez in the fold. In the final two months, Iglesias had a 0.38 ERA, 0.72 WHIP, and a league-leading 16 saves. Iglesias still has the stuff to get the job done in the ninth, but he's on much shakier ground now that Suarez is an option to replace him if he struggles again at any point next year.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson (ankle) is back at the team's practice on Thursday, as expected, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Jackson missed a few games early this year with a hamstring injury, and he's been listed on the injury report for several weeks with various lower-body injuries. The 28-year-old has played through an ankle issue of late and should do so again this weekend in another crucial divisional matchup against the hosting Cincinnati Bengals. The 28-year-old two-time MVP hasn't looked quite like himself in 2025, and he probably hasn't been 100% healthy. The good news is that Jackson had seven carries for 43 yards and his second rushing touchdown of the year in last week's loss to the Steelers. Although Jackson didn't throw a touchdown pass two weeks ago in the loss to Cincy, he did throw for 246 yards. Fantasy managers need to stick with him in Week 15 as a midrange QB1 in a good matchup.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is missing another day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Harrison will need to return to practice on Friday to avoid missing a second straight game with a heel injury that he suffered in Week 13. Before that, the 23-year-old missed two games following an appendectomy. He's very much in danger of missing a fourth game in the last five weeks. It's been that kind of disappointing year for the former first-rounder. Harrison has a 40-594-4 line on 69 targets in his second year in the NFL. If Harrison misses another contest, receiver
Michael Wilson will be a must-start as a target hog, while tight end
Trey McBride will also continue to have a crazy-high floor in fantasy. In the three games that Harrison has missed, Wilson has a ridiculous 36 receptions on 49 targets for 445 yards and two touchdowns.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver
Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Tillman is in the league's concussion protocol and is also dealing with a rib injury, making it unlikely that he'll be able to play this weekend on the road in Chicago against the Bears. The 25-year-old sustained both injuries in the Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, when he caught just one of three targets for 23 yards. Tillman hasn't made much noise in 2025 and has dealt with injuries that have limited him to nine games. The former third-rounder hasn't had more than three catches in a game since Week 1, and he hasn't had more than one reception since Nov. 16. Overall, he has an 18-197-2 line and is not worth rostering right now in 12-team fantasy leagues. Rookie
Isaiah Bond could see more looks deep down the field in Chicago if Tillman is ruled out.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back
Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) is missing from practice on Thursday for a second straight day this week, according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. The Browns placed RB
Jerome Ford (shoulder) on season-ending Injured Reserve this week, so Cleveland's backfield could be thin behind rookie starter
Quinshon Judkins on Sunday against the Chicago Bears if Sampson is unable to play.
Raheim Sanders and
Trayveon Williams would likely split backup duties behind Judkins if Sampson cannot go. Sampson, a fourth-round pick out of Tennessee, had five catches on six targets for a season-high 64 receiving yards in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, and he will have a bigger role in the Browns' backfield the rest of the year if he's healthy. He's worth stashing in PPR leagues despite his status being up in the air for Week 15.

Cleveland Browns tight end
David Njoku (knee) missed a second straight practice this week on Thursday due to a knee injury, according to Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN. Njoku was also on last week's injury report with a knee injury, but he was active in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans. The 29-year-old aggravated his knee injury on a touchdown grab versus the Titans, and now he's on the wrong side of questionable to play in Week 15 against the hosting Chicago Bears. He will need to return to practice on Friday to have a chance of playing this weekend. Njoku has taken a back seat to impressive rookie TE
Harold Fannin Jr. this year, making him a weekly TE2 streaming option in fantasy. He has caught 33 passes on 48 targets for 293 yards and four touchdowns through 14 weeks. Fannin will be an even more attractive TE1 if Njoku is ruled out against Chicago.

Houston Texans rookie running back
Woody Marks (ankle) returned to the practice field on Thursday, according to KPRC 2 Sports' Aaron Wilson. Marks was held out of Wednesday's practice with an ankle injury, but his return to the field on Thursday suggests he should be fine to play this weekend in a strong matchup versus the Arizona Cardinals. The 24-year-old fourth-rounder has been the Texans' lead back for most of the year, with
Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) never able to make it back. He has seen double-digit carries in each of the last eight games, culminating in a season-high 26 rushing attempts in the Week 14 win over the Kansas City Chiefs.
Nick Chubb (ribs) was injured in that game, and he's in danger of missing Week 15 after having not practiced yet this week. Marks will be a high-volume RB2 in fantasy football, regardless of whether Chubb is active this weekend.

Houston Texans running back
Nick Chubb (ribs) is missing another day of practice on Thursday due to a rib injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. Rookie RB
Woody Marks (ankle) also missed practice on Wednesday, but he has returned to the field on Thursday. The 29-year-old Chubb is in real danger of missing the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals. He has already lost lead-back duties to Marks, with Chubb not seeing double-digit carries in a game since back on Nov. 2 against the Denver Broncos. With Chubb getting injured in the Sunday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs, Marks saw a season-high 26 carries for 68 yards while also catching two passes for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks should have an even bigger workload in a plus matchup this Sunday if Chubb is ruled out, with
Dare Ogunbowale jumping into the RB2 role for Houston.

New York Jets quarterback
Justin Fields (knee) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Fields came down with a sore knee last week and was held out of the Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 26-year-old has yet to practice this week and appears headed for another missed game this Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. Fields lost the starting gig under center to veteran
Tyrod Taylor (groin), but Taylor injured his groin last weekend and might also be in danger of being ruled out this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. If neither QB gains clearance this weekend, rookie
Brady Cook would likely be forced to make his first NFL start. It's really bad news for fantasy managers who were planning on starting any of New York's offensive skill players.

New York Jets quarterback
Tyrod Taylor (groin) wasn't seen at practice on Thursday, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Taylor also missed practice on Wednesday, so he's currently on the wrong side of questionable to play this weekend in Jacksonville against the Jaguars in Week 15. The 36-year-old veteran took over the starting QB duties from the struggling
Justin Fields (knee), but he injured his groin early in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and is now in jeopardy of missing time. Fields missed the Week 14 game due to knee soreness and hasn't practiced this week either. If neither Taylor nor Fields can play this weekend, rookie
Brady Cook would be forced into his first NFL start. It's shaping up as a situation to avoid for fantasy managers heading into the first week of the playoffs in most leagues.

Free-agent closer
Robert Suarez and the Atlanta Braves are in agreement on a three-year, $45 million deal on Thursday, sources tell Jeff Passan of ESPN. It's a curious landing spot for Suarez after the Braves already re-signed closer
Raisel Iglesias to a one-year, $16 million deal this offseason. Reports suggest that Iglesias will remain the Braves' primary closer in 2026, which means that the 34-year-old Suarez will serve in a high-leverage setup role in his new digs. Suarez has been one of the most dominant closers in recent seasons with the San Diego Padres, posting a 2.87 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, 76 saves, 134 strikeouts, and 32 walks in 134 2/3 regular-season innings since the start of the 2024 campaign. He should continue to be useful for his strikeout rate and holds, but if Iglesias actually holds him off for closer duties, Suarez's overall fantasy value will take a hit in Atlanta.

New York Jets running back
Breece Hall (knee), who sat out of practice on Wednesday with a sore knee, is doing positional drills at practice on Thursday, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Hall will most likely be listed as limited on Thursday's final injury report. Either way, it's a good sign that he's back at practice after picking up a DNP tag to begin the week. The 24-year-old could still be questionable for the Week 15 game this Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, so his status to close out the week will be worth monitoring. If Hall is out or limited in any way this weekend, it would open up more playing time for
Isaiah Davis. However, fantasy managers may want to avoid the Jets' entire offense this week, with it looking more likely that
Brady Cook will start at quarterback. Both
Tyrod Taylor (groin) and
Justin Fields (knee) have not practiced this week.

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt (lung) is currently in a local hospital with a lung issue and is undergoing medical evaluation, according to Nick Farabaugh of Penn Live. Watt will not practice on Thursday and could miss the Monday night game against the visiting Miami Dolphins. The 31-year-old seven-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro has an extra day to recover this week, but his status is firmly up in the air in Week 15. Fantasy managers in IDP leagues will need to have a backup plan in place in case it's not looking good for Watt to play on Monday night. The former first-rounder is the heart and soul of a Pittsburgh defense that has been a disappointment this year. Through 13 games, Watt has 53 tackles (22 solo), only seven sacks, 10 tackles for loss, 18 QB hits, an interception, seven pass breakups, three forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries.

Atlanta Falcons tight end
Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) has had two of his best games of the season in the last two weeks with wide receiver
Drake London (knee) sidelined, catching 13 of his 18 targets for 172 yards while playing over 90% of the offensive snaps. Pitts is considered questionable to play on Thursday night versus the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but he's expected to suit up. Meanwhile, London will be missing a fourth straight game. Pitts has only found the end zone one time in 2025 (back in Week 4), but he should be more involved once again on Thursday night if he's active in the first week of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. Quarterback
Kirk Cousins has used Pitts as a safety blanket of sorts with London out of the picture since spraining his PCL in Week 11. Fantasy managers should consider the former fourth overall pick to be a midrange TE1 for at least one more week.

The Baltimore Ravens reached an agreement on a three-year contract extension with nose tackle Travis Jones on Thursday, sources told Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. The deal will keep Jones under contract with Baltimore through the 2028 season and continues the Ravens' focus on rewarding its own players before they can hit the open market. The 26-year-old defensive tackle is having a fine season in 2025 in his fourth year in the league, recording 34 tackles (16 solo), a career-high-tying 1.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, five QB hits, two pass breakups, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery in 12 starts. The former third-rounder in 2022 out of Connecticut will now be sticking around with the Ravens long term as a building block on the interior of their defensive line.

Miami Dolphins kicker
Jason Sanders (hip) will not have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson. Sanders suffered a hip injury during the preseason and has been on Injured Reserve all year. With only three regular-season games left after this week, there's a good chance we won't see the 30-year-old placekicker at all this year. In his absence,
Riley Patterson has filled in nicely for Miami, making 23 of his 25 field-goal attempts (92 percent) and 28 of his 29 extra-point opportunities. Patterson has been solid, but he's only made one field goal beyond 50 yards on just two attempts. He has been under the radar in fantasy football and is currently the No. 10 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. Patterson will be on the streaming radar in deeper fantasy leagues for Miami's Week 15 matchup versus the Steelers on Monday night.
