Patriots Defense Off Fantasy Radar For Week 15

The New England Patriots' defense cannot be trusted in fantasy football as they prepare to face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. While the New England defense has gotten much better lately and the Chiefs' offense is struggling, the latter still remains the heavy favorite for this AFC clash. Fantasy managers intrigued by the […]

Hunter Henry Still Tough To Trust In Week 15

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry remains a difficult player to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 15 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. On one hand, the veteran was a huge contributor in his last game, catching three passes for 40 yards and two touchdowns. On the other hand, though, it's unlikely he'll […]

Demario Douglas To Have FLEX Appeal In Return Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas returns to the field on Sunday after missing the last two weeks with a concussion. The rookie is expected to pick up right where he left off, operating as the No. 1 receiver in an offense that will likely play from behind against the Kansas City Chiefs. After […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Candidate For Significant Volume In Week 15

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott should operate as the team's workhorse option out of the backfield against the Kansas City Chiefs after Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) was ruled out for the second consecutive week. In his first Patriots start last week, Elliott exploded for 29 touches, 150 scrimmage yards, and one touchdown, proving that […]

Bailey Zappe Not A Reliable Option In Week 15

New England Patriots quarterback Bailey Zappe lacks fantasy appeal for Week 15 versus the Kansas City Chiefs. While he impressed to the tune of 240 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception during last Thursday's upset win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Chiefs represent a much tougher test. In fact, Kansas City has surrendered just 204.3 […]

C.J. Stroud Officially Ruled Out For Week 15

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) did not travel with the team and has officially been downgraded to out for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.

Younghoe Koo Questionable For Week 15

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (illness) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is officially questionable to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 15.

Jamal Adams, Dee Eskridge Questionable For Week 15

Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams (knee) and wide receiver Dee Eskridge (ribs) are questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15.

Geno Smith Questionable To Face Eagles

Seattle Seahawks quarterback (groin), who was limited in practice this week, is officially questionable to play against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football. The quarterback hasn't been fully healthy over the last few weeks, and he even missed last Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. With that said, if active on Monday night, […]

Ka'imi Fairbairn Activated From Injured Reserve

Houston Texans kicker Ka'imi Fairbairn (right quadricep) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans. This move was widely expected after he practiced in full all week long and did not carry an injury designation into the weekend. While Fairbairn ranked as a top-12 kicker when healthy earlier this […]

Darren Waller Activated From Injured Reserve Saturday

New York Giants tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 15 versus the New Orleans Saints.

Alec Pierce - Week 15 Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks

BALLER MOVE: Consider in 14+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce remains a fringe fantasy option in deeper leagues.

Isaiah McKenzie Inactive For Week 15

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Isaiah McKenzie (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Week 15 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. Saturday represents the first time this season that McKenzie is inactive. Through his previous 13 games, he totaled 11 catches and 82 receiving yards. Given the 28-year-old's depth role, his absence has no fantasy implications. Michael […]

Rams Elevate Tyler Johnson From Practice Squad

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson has been elevated from the practice squad to the 53-man active roster, the team announced on Saturday. Johnson, who totaled 360 yards with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, hasn't registered a target over the last two seasons. Furthermore, he hasn't appeared in a game this year. However, […]

Eagles Will Designate Avonte Maddox To Return

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Avonte Maddox (pectoral) will soon be designated to return from injured reserve, according to Josh Tolentino of the Philadelphia Enquirer.

If Philadelphia doesn't activate him by the end of that […]

Jonathan Taylor Could Return In Week 16

Indianapolis Colts running back Jonathan Taylor (thumb) has a "realistic chance" to return in Week 16 versus the Atlanta Falcons, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kenny Pickett (ankle) is "pushing to play" against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, Rapoport notes that delaying his return to Week 17 "is a bit more realistic." Regardless, it appears that the second-year quarterback is making progress and will be healthy for the Steelers' […]

Jamal Agnew Activated From Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Jamal Agnew (shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve after being limited in practice his past week. He's officially questionable to suit up against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, but his activation to the 53-man roster suggests that he's good to go.

DJ Reader, DJ Ivey Won't Return In Week 15

Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle DJ Reader (knee) and cornerback DJ Ivey (knee) exited during the first quarter of Saturday's game against the Minnesota Vikings.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (toe) participated in his first practice of the week this Friday. He was limited and is officially questionable to play against the New York Jets on Sunday.
