Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner should continue to receive a heavy workload, making him a low-end RB1 when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots in Week 15. Conner has received 20 or more touches in his last two contests, and there's no reason that trend shouldn't continue in this matchup. The Patriots rank 16th in fantasy points allowed to running backs this season. They also rank 14th in total rushing yards allowed. The Cardinals should have success rushing the ball in this matchup, but even if they don't, they have found ways to keep Conner involved through the air, giving him at least four targets in each of his last four games. Conner remains a running back fantasy managers can trust as we head into the fantasy playoffs.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. has been a steady fantasy contributor since taking over as the starter in Week 5, averaging 13.72 fantasy points per game (16th among RBs in that span). In Week 14 against the Saints, Tracy Jr. logged 45 rushing yards, a touchdown, and 38 receiving yards on five catches, demonstrating his dual-threat ability. However, Week 15 presents a tough challenge against the Ravens, who boast the league's top-ranked rushing defense, allowing just 82.7 yards per game and only 11 rushing touchdowns this season. While Baltimore's defense ranks 9th in limiting fantasy points to RBs, Tracy's receiving skills could provide some upside against a unit that is vulnerable to allowing passing yards due to teams playing catch-up against their potent offense.

New York Giants quarterback Tommy DeVito will return as QB1 in Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens after a brief absence due to injury (forearm). In his lone start of the season back in Week 12, DeVito posted a modest 10.76 fantasy points with 189 passing yards, 32 rushing yards, and no touchdowns, showcasing limited upside. The matchup against Baltimore presents a mixed bag for the young signal-caller: while the Ravens rank last in passing defense, allowing 264.9 yards per game and 23 touchdowns on the season, they've limited quarterbacks to just 14.41 fantasy points per game over the past four weeks, the third-lowest mark in the league. DeVito's ceiling is capped by Baltimore's strong pass rush (they will pin their ears back if they get a big lead) and the Giants' struggling offensive line, which surrendered four sacks in his prior start. Proceed with caution in fantasy formats.

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin has an excellent matchup upcoming in Week 15 against an Indianapolis Colts defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards per game (147) and the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points to RBs this year. With that said, McLaughlin is still a tough-to-trust flex option for fantasy managers in 14-plus-team leagues given the uncertainty in Denver's backfield. After looking like the RB3 for the Broncos just several weeks ago, McLaughlin played a season-high 36% of the snaps in the Week 13 win over the Browns and led the backfield with a season-high 14 carries for a season-high 84 yards. On seven carries the week prior, he led the team with 44 yards on the ground. Javonte Williams (45% snap share) last week and rookie Audric Estime remain involved, and Denver's ground game just has not been spectacular all season long. McLaughlin will need to be efficient and lead the team in carries, which is not a given, to return value as an RB3/flex in Week 15.

The New York Jets defense struggled in a Week 14 loss, allowing the Miami Dolphins to post a 32-point game. They have a good chance to bounce back in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been a good matchup for fantasy D/STs this season, allowing the 12th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That number doesn't even account for how bad the team's offense has been under Mac Jones since Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) has been injured as Jones has thrown for just two touchdowns and five interceptions on the year. Fantasy gamers can consider New York's defense a top-15 option heading into Week 15.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray ranks between QB6 and QB10 in Week 15 when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots. Murray and the Cardinals' passing attack should have the advantage in this matchup, as the Patriots rank in the middle of the pack against the pass. The Patriots also rank 22nd in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Murray's interceptions have cost the Cardinals in their last three games, and they have lost three straight. However, Murray and the Cardinals' passing game should be due for a much-needed bounce-back against the struggling Patriots.

Dallas Cowboys defensive back Trevon Diggs (knee) has been designated as questionable yet again for this weekend's road meeting with the Carolina Panthers. The former second-round pick has dealt with many injuries this season but missed just three games thus far. Diggs picked up the knee issue between Weeks 11 and 12, and it has prohibited him thus far from logging a full practice session. The 26-year-old played last Monday despite the questionable tag -- participating on 100% of the Cowboys' defensive snaps. However, it's worth noting that he was downgraded to a non-participant this past Friday. With teammate Jourdan Lewis (hamstring) also uncertain for Week 15, Dallas could be in danger of being down two of their top three cornerbacks. If Diggs is deemed inactive, teammate Amani Oruwariye figures to shoulder at least some of the snap load. Fantasy managers will want to keep tabs on the veteran over the next day or so.

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams has scored a touchdown in two straight games as he has heated up late in the season. Adams will look to stay hot on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars are unlikely to provide much resistance for him as they are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this season. Adams has drawn double-digit targets in four of his past five contests and should continue to return solid fantasy numbers in Week 15, making him a high-end WR2 this weekend.

Carolina Panthers defensive back Jaycee Horn (groin) is officially questionable for this weekend's home matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. The fourth-year DB suffered the injury in last Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles -- limiting him to less than 100% of Carolina's snaps for only the third time this season. While Horn has yet to miss a game in 2024 -- something he's failed to do over his first three years -- he could be in danger of doing so in Week 15. Per head coach Dave Canales, the team will check in with the South Carolina product on Saturday to "make sure he's in the right space," as he's been more of a day-to-day case with the ailment. If the 25-year-old cannot play, fellow defensive backs Chau Smith-Wade, Dane Jackson, and Caleb Farley could see elevated usage against the visiting Cowboys.

New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin has shown some signs of life over his past two games, catching seven of his 10 targets for 65 yards over that span. Conklin will look to remain involved in the team's offense heading into a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been generous to opposing tight ends this season, allowing the seventh-most fantasy points per game to the position. Despite the plus matchup, Conklin hasn't shown much of a ceiling in fantasy this season and should be treated as nothing more than a high-end TE3 for Week 15.

New York Jets kicker Anders Carlson was productive in Week 14, hitting all four of his field-goal attempts in a loss to the Miami Dolphins. Carlson will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been generous to opposing kickers this season, allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, the Jets have not been a consistent source for fantasy points at the kicker position this season, leaving Carlson as a low-end option heading into Week 15.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets running back Braelon Allen failed to capitalize on his increased role with Breece Hall (knee) out of action in Week 14, rushing for only 43 scoreless yards. His time as the team's lead back may be short-lived as Hall is looking likely to return to action in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars after he logged a full practice on Friday. The Jaguars have struggled against running backs this season, allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. If Hall ultimately ends up being inactive, Allen can be treated as an RB2 in Week 15 but if Hall plays, downgrade Allen to a desperation flex.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson broke out of a late-season slump with a seven-catch, 114-yard outing against the Miami Dolphins in Week 14. He will look to build upon that performance in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have struggled to slow down opposing passing attacks this season as they are allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Wilson has been inconsistent since the calendar flipped to November but the matchup is good enough that he can be treated as a solid WR2 in fantasy for Week 15.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (back) has officially been ruled out for Sunday's meeting with the New England Patriots. The second-year rusher will miss his first game of the season this weekend after picking up a back injury in Week 14's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Demercado played only seven snaps last Sunday, hauling in all four of his receptions for 15 yards. Though, he did not record a carry. His inactive designation isn't a surprise, considering he was listed as a non-participant for each of the Cards' practices leading up to the weekend. With the 25-year-old shelved, backfield mates James Conner and Trey Benson should each garner a few extra touches and snaps this weekend against the visiting Pats.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 339 yards in a Week 14 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He will look to stay hot in a road matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 15. The Jaguars have been an excellent matchup for quarterbacks this season as they are allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position. That being said, Rodgers' play for the majority of the season has not inspired much confidence from a fantasy perspective as he has thrown for more than 300 yards only once and for three touchdowns once. Rodgers settles in as a low-end QB2 in fantasy heading into Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (hamstring) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Evans missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before returning for a limited session on Friday. It appears that was enough for the team to clear Evans for this weekend. The veteran wideout has racked up three straight games of 68 receiving yards or more since returning from injury. He does have a tougher challenge this week against a solid Chargers secondary. Despite that, Evans should be able to produce low-end WR1 value for this Week 15 matchup.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin hasn't been much of a fantasy option lately outside of his four field goal effort in Week 13. Last week, McLaughlin knocked down all four of his extra point attempts in the win over the Las Vegas Raiders. McLaughlin didn't attempt a field goal as the Bucs continued to cash-in on their red zone trips. That could be a different story this weekend against a stingy Los Angeles Chargers secondary. McLaughlin could be called upon more often this weekend with the Bucs not having easy access to touchdowns. Fantasy managers who are on the fence about McLaughlin might want to give him one more chance.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce drew the second-most looks of any Colt receiver in Week 13 with six targets, but was only able to secure two of them for 16 yards. His fantasy day was saved, however, on a last-second touchdown that helped Indy to a late-game come-from-behind win. The 24-year-old was averaging four targets per contest coming into the matchup, but Josh Downs' absence likely aided the small boost in targets. With Downs having a bye week to recover and logging two full practices to close the week, he looks to be on the more favorable side of questionable, so Pierce will likely return to his usual workload. While he's not a good bet to haul in many passes, his targets are usually of the deep variety, as the speedy wideout leads the entire NFL in average depth of target (aDOT) at 21.98 yards, so he's got a good chance to break off a couple of chunk plays, especially with star cornerback Patrick Surtain II focusing on Michael Pittman Jr. and the aforementioned Downs drawing coverage away. The former second-round draft pick sets up as a boom/bust WR5/6 in this matchup.

Per the NFL's Ian Rapoport, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) should make his return by the end of the regular season. The veteran wideout has been out since the preseason after sustaining an SC-Joint injury (sternoclavicular) that required surgery to heal correctly. Brown gained final clearance from his surgeon on Thursday, and Kansas City opened his 21-day practice window just a day later. Though he has been ruled out for Sunday's road tilt against the Cleveland Browns, Rapoport noted that the team intends to attempt to get him up to speed during the last few weeks of the regular season so that he'll be rounding into form for the playoffs. It's undoubtedly good to see the 27-year-old return to the Chiefs. However, as of now, he'll be a long shot to contribute during the fantasy playoffs.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. has at least seven targets and five catches in the last three games since Anthony Richardson was reinserted under center for Indy. It's an encouraging trend after a rough stretch of relative underperformance midseason and after missing Week 10's contest due to a back injury. The 27-year-old was a full participant in practice all week and with the issue seemingly behind him, especially after a bye week to rest up, he'll look to keep the momentum going in Week 15. However, that will be a challenge as the Colts take on the Broncos this week in Denver, with the Broncos holding opposing wide receivers to the ninth-fewest fantasy points so far this season. Pittman in particular has some things working against him, as the 6-foot-4 wideout will likely draw shadow coverage from star corner Patrick Surtain II and teammate Josh Downs (shoulder) looking like he'll return to action after getting two full practices in to end the week so there will again be more competition for targets. Combined with the fact that Richardson has completed 12 passes or fewer in six of his eight full games played in 2024 with a 7:9 TD:INT, Pittman looks like a risky borderline WR3/4 option.
