Chargers S Derwin James (quad) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Titans. A 2nd straight missed game for James would put S Alohi Gilman in the starting lineup again but for a negative scoring matchup. We've added Gilman to the Week 15 IDP rankings.
Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (quad, hand) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Patriots. Jacobs said on Friday that he’ll play. “I can hold the ball, so we'll see once I get hit on it a couple of times,” he said, adding that he’ll play with added protection on that injured pinkie. There’s some added risk here, but Jacobs remains a virtual must-start considering how productive he’s been all year.
Chiefs WR Mecole Hardman (abdomen) was designated to return from IR and practiced this week. But HC Andy Reid said Friday that he’s “leaning away” from playing Hardman vs. the Texans this weekend. There’s certainly no reason for Kansas City to push Hardman back for this one.
Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney (hamstring) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. HC Andy Reid was non-committal on Toney’s availability for that one when asked on Friday. Toney shouldn’t be in your Week 15 fantasy plans.
Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (right hand) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. Nothing to see here.
Lions EDGE Aidan Hutchinson (illness) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jets. He missed Thursday’s practice but returned for a limited Friday. We’d bet on Hutchinson playing but will obviously watch for confirmation
Jets DL Quinnen Williams (calf) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Lions. He missed practice all week after leaving the loss to the Bills early, so he’ll carry risk even if active. We’ll watch Williams’ status up until inactives arrive Sunday morning
Bucs WR Julio Jones (knee) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Bengals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. Clearly not at 100%, Jones shouldn’t be in your Week 15 fantasy plans.
Texans WRs Nico Collins (foot) and Brandin Cooks (calf) have been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs. Cooks actually got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday; Collins was sidelined all week. Chris Moore, Phillip Dorsett and Amari Rodgers will again operate as Houston's top 3 WRs this weekend.
Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. RBs Dare Ogunbowale and Rex Burkhead are on the active roster, with RBs Royce Freeman and Gerrid Doaks on the practice squad. We’ll see if Houston makes an elevation on Saturday, but you should try to avoid this backfield in fantasy lineups.
The Jaguars list QB Trevor Lawrence (toe) as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday – which is more than he did last week, before torching the Titans for 368 yards and 3 TDs. Lawrence still isn’t at 100% but will start Sunday against Dallas.
Saints TE Juwan Johnson (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Falcons. We’ll get New Orleans’ inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday, but Johnson shouldn’t be in fantasy lineups at less than 100%. TE Adam Trautman (ankle) is also questionable.
Broncos WRs Courtland Sutton (hamstring) and Kendall Hinton (hamstring) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. That leaves some combination of WRs Brandon Johnson, Jalen Virgil, Freddie Swain and Montrell Washington behind WR Jerry Jeudy. Jeudy and TE Greg Dulcich should be the clear top 2 options in the passing game.
Broncos QB Russell Wilson (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. HC Nathaniel Hackett said Friday that Wilson has actually been medically cleared, but the team is holding him out as a precaution. QB Brett Rypien will make his 2nd start of the season this weekend.
Bears QB Justin Fields isn’t listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He missed Wednesday with an illness but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Most importantly, that shoulder that he hurt back in Week 11 is no longer on the injury report. So Fields should be a full-go vs. the Eagles on Sunday.
Bears WR Chase Claypool (knee) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles. We don't have any details on his injury, but Claypool didn't practice all week. With WR Darnell Mooney also out, Chicago is down to WRs Equanimeous St. Brown, Dante Pettis, Byron Pringle, N'Keal Harry and Velus Jones. TE Cole Kmet is the clear favorite to lead the Bears in targets this weekend.
Steelers WR Diontae Johnson (hip) isn’t listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He didn’t practice on Thursday but returned to a limited workout on Friday. Johnson went through the same routine last week before playing his usual role in the loss to Baltimore. We’re expecting the same in Sunday’s game vs. Carolina.
Steelers TE Pat Freiermuth (foot) only got in a limited practice on Friday but isn’t listed on the final injury report for this weekend’s game vs. the Panthers. He reportedly hurt his foot on his 1st catch last weekend and was able to play through it. There’s a bit more risk here than usual, but Freiermuth remains a fine Week 15 fantasy starter.
Steelers RB Najee Harris (hip) is not listed on the final Week 15 injury report. He was sidelined on Wednesday but put in full practices on Thursday and Friday. Harris will be ready for his usual role vs. the Panthers this weekend.
Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (rib) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Commanders. We’ll see if he guts it out for this big game, but Bellinger isn’t a recommended fantasy play.
