Jamaal Williams A Deep Season-Long Option Only Saturday
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has become firmly entrenched as the spell back to Aaron Jones, and should continue to reprise that role Saturday against the Panthers. Unfortunately, he has now played fewer than 50 percent of the team's offensive snaps in three consecutive weeks, severely capping his season-long intrigue. During the playoff […]

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds has a golden matchup on the docket Sunday against a Jets Defense that is limping toward the finish line in 2020, but his recent decrease in usage makes him a risky proposition in season-long playoff matchups.

The New York Giants seem content to take the decision on whether or not to start Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) right down to the wire prior to Sunday's game versus Cleveland.

Seattle Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny (knee) is on track to make his season debut Sunday against Washington, with the team planning to activate him prior to kickoff.

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper (neck) was forced to sit out Monday's loss to Baltimore, but head coach Kevin Stefanski is "feeling good" about the chances of having Hooper back in the mix during a Week 15 meeting with the Giants.

New York Jets quarterback Sam Darnold's confidence has not wavered in the midst of an 0-13 season, at least not publicly.

New York Jets running back Frank Gore is expected to continue seeing a sizable role in the team's offense heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Rams despite the emergence of Ty Johnson out of the backfield.

Jesse Borek 4 years agoGiants Embrace Daniel Jones As Starter In Week 15
New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones does not have an official injury designation at this stage for Sunday's matchup against Cleveland, but it's rather plain to see that his hamstring injury is still a factor.

Cleveland Browns tight end Austin Hooper (neck) has been ruled out for Monday's contest against Baltimore.

Baltimore Ravens defensive lineman Calais Campbell (calf) is expected to play Monday against Cleveland, although he's unlikely to see a full allotment of defensive snaps as he continues to battle a calf injury.

Indianapolis Colts running back Jordan Wilkins appeared to have turned the corner from a fantasy perspective back in Week 8 after a 20-carry performance, but since then, he has slowly trickled down the depth chart.
