Denver Broncos tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins both found the end zone in the team's 31-13 victory over the visiting Indianapolis Colts on Sunday at Empower Field in Week 15. Trautman and Adkins hauled in rookie quarterback Bo Nix's first two touchdown passes of the day in a huge victory that boosts Denver's chances of making the postseason for the first time since they won Super Bowl 50 with Peyton Manning. Trautman finished with two catches on two targets for 20 yards and the score, while Adkins only caught the one TD pass of 15 yards on the day. The Broncos haven't utilized their tight ends much in the offense this year, so neither Trautman nor Adkins should be in consideration for a waiver-wire pickup in the fantasy playoffs. Trautman has 11 catches for 178 yards and two TDs in 14 games, while Adkins has only eight grabs for 65 yards and three scores on the year.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra caught his lone target for 22 yards in the team's 27-13 win over the Steelers. Despite his expanded role due to Dallas Goedert (knee) being placed on IR, Calcaterra has only seen four targets across two games as the team's primary tight end. With DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown earning the majority of targets, Calcaterra is unlikely to see a significant uptick in volume. As such, he remains off the fantasy radar heading into the Eagles' Week 16 road matchup against the Washington Commanders.

None of the Denver Broncos wide receivers were able to do much in the Week 15 win over the Indianapolis Colt on Sunday with rookie quarterback Bo Nix struggling and throwing for only 130 yards on the day. Marvin Mims Jr. caught all four of his targets but had only 20 receiving yards. He also had one carry that went for no gain. The disappointing performance comes on the heels of the 22-year-old's three-catch, 105-yard, one-touchdown performance in the Week 13 win over the Browns. Mims' big day before the bye week came thanks to a 93-yard touchdown strike against Cleveland. The Broncos have made it a point to get Mims involved in the second half of the season, but it's been only minimal involvement. Outside of his 100-yard game in Week 13, Mims hasn't cleared 50 yards or four receptions, making him a desperation flex option for fantasy managers in deep leagues.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Devaughn Vele had only one target in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Indianapolis Colts. The Broncos offense looked sluggish after their bye week, and the offensive production showcased it. Quarterback Bo Nix only threw for 130 yards on the day, and no receiver on the Broncos had more than 32 yards. Heading into Week 15, Vele had put up 162 yards in his last three games. The silver lining for Vele is that he still played 60% of the snaps and is the clear slot choice for the Broncos offense. He will try to get back on track with a matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night football. Vele is not a reliable fantasy option in 10-12-team leagues heading into Week 16.

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams rushed six times for 15 yards and hauled in two of three targets for eight yards in the Broncos' 31-13 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Williams followed suit in a game where the Broncos offense could only put together 193 yards of total offense. The Bronco's running backs have been by committee for most of the season, and head coach Sean Peyton doesn't want to change that strategy. The silver lining for Williams is that Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quad) left the game in the second half. If he were to miss any time, that could make this Broncos running back room smaller with just Williams and Audric Estime. Regardless, Williams has not been a reliable running back for fantasy managers in 2024. He is a touchdown-dependent RB3 heading into Week 16 versus the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott was perfect in Sunday's 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, converting both of his field-goal attempts from 34 and 41 yards while going 3-for-3 on extra points. Elliott's reliable performance helped ensure the Eagles capitalized on their scoring opportunities in a game where the offense was firing on all cylinders. While Elliott has struggled with longer-range kicks this season, he remains a consistent option for fantasy managers. This marked Elliott's fifth double-digit fantasy performance of the year, solidifying his value as a dependable fantasy kicker. He will look to build on this momentum in a Week 16 matchup against the Washington Commanders on the road.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts delivered a stellar performance in the team's 27-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Hurts completed 25 of 32 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptionswhile adding 45 rushing yards and a touchdown on 15 carries. Hurts silenced any doubts about the Eagles' passing game by averaging an impressive 9.1 yards per attempt and connecting on six passes of 20+ yards. His performance included his second-highest passing total of the season (290) and second-highest completion rate (78.1%). Hurts' dual-threat ability was on full display as he added his 14th rushing touchdown of the season, solidifying his position as an elite fantasy QB. Heading into a Week 16 matchup against the Commanders, Hurts remains a top-tier option, capable of delivering in both the passing and rushing game.

Baltimore Ravens tight end Mark Andrews has etched his name in the franchise's record books with his touchdown catch in the lopsided victory over the New York Giants. After finishing the win with two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown, he moved into first place for most touchdowns in franchise history with 48 and counting. After the Ravens went up 28-7 near the end of the third quarter, a lot of the reserves came in and they started to waste some more time. So, Andrews didn't get a chance to notch any more scores. He'll go up against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16, and he'll look to redeem himself from his last performance against them.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught 11-of-12 targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in the team's 27-13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15. It was a season-best performance for Smith, who set new highs in receptions and yards while securing a touchdown for the second week straight. He played a key role in Philadelphia's aerial success, leading the team in targets and receptions while notching chunk gains of 22 and 20 yards. His short touchdown catch in the second quarter helped the Eagles establish control of the game early. Despite occasional inconsistency stemming from limited opportunitiesthis was his first game with over seven targets since Week 3Smith's ceiling was on full display. Heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Washington Commanders, Smith profiles as a high-upside WR2 for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride set the record for most catches (87) in a single season without catching a receiving touchdown in the Week 15 win over the New England Patriots. McBride had another great performance, catching nine passes for 87 yards despite still not finding the end zone. McBride's record-setting catch came at the one-yard line, coming so close to ending the drought. Despite not being able to find the end zone through the air, McBride has still had a stellar fantasy season, ranking as a top-three tight end in fantasy football at the moment. It's hard to pinpoint one reason why McBride hasn't caught a touchdown pass this season, but with three weeks remaining in the season, there's still time to break through. The Cardinals will face the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, and McBride will, once again, be a lock in the starting tight end spot for fantasy managers.

Denver Broncos cornerback Patrick Surtain II (ankle) exited the game against the Indianapolis Colts early with an ankle injury after registering one tackle and two passes defended. Ian Rapoport is reporting on Monday morning that the injury is believed only to be a minor ankle sprain which comes as big news for the Broncos defense in the final stretch of the year. More information should come out soon as they enter a short week before facing the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday night.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams found the end zone for the first time since Week 11 despite being fourth on the team in targets. During the 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills, Williams finished the game with 37 yards and a touchdown on three receptions and five targets. The former 12th-overall pick now has accrued 42 receptions for 747 yards and five touchdowns with an average of 62.3 yards per game. That slots him in as the WR30 in half-PPR leagues. Williams and company will set their sights on a divisional matchup in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears.

San Francisco 49ers linebacker De'Vondre Campbell won't be joining the team for the final stretch of the season according to Ian Rapoport. The nine-year veteran will be suspended for the team's last three games of the year after refusing to enter the game against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night. Dre Greenlaw, who appeared in his first game of the season, regained his role on the defense while playing 46% of the defensive snap, and that didn't seem to sit well with Campbell. Head coach Kyle Shanahan even said, "His actions from the game is just not something you can do to your team." The next step with Campbell and the team likely won't happen until the offseason.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson had a very quiet day in the Cardinals' 30-17 win over the New England Patriots. The wide receiver involvement in the Arizona Cardinals offense has been inconsistent all season, and the Cardinals' wide receivers have become touchdown-reliant from a fantasy football perspective. Wilson finished the game with just two catches for 9 yards on two targets. The Patriots' cornerbacks did a good job limiting the Cardinals' receivers from creating separation, and with the Cardinals taking an early lead, they shifted to a run-first approach and found success moving the ball that way. Wilson has become boom-or-bust all season, and this week, he happened to bust. Heading into Week 16, given the favorable matchup for the Cardinals against the Carolina Panthers, Wilson could receive streaming consideration at the flex spot, although it would be a risky play.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown recorded eight receptions on 11 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in the team's 27-13 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Brown delivered a strong showing after a week of headlines criticizing Philadelphia's passing attack, leading to his season-best eight catches and fifth 100-yard outing in 11 games. Brown's performance was highlighted by multiple chunk plays, including receptions of 21, 20, 19, and 17 yards, showcasing his ability to stretch the field. He capped his productive day with a five-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter, helping set the tone for the Eagles' offense. Heading into Week 16, Brown remains a reliable WR1 option for fantasy managers as Philadelphia prepares to take on the Washington Commanders on the road.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith (knee) was forced to exit the Week 15 matchup with the Green Bay Packers with a knee injury and wasn't able to return. Before leaving in the third quarter, he registered 149 and one interception on 15-for-19 throwing with one carry for five yards. According to head coach Mike McDaniel, Smith's knee "appears to be intact structurally." His status for Week 16's game against the Minnesota Vikings is uncertain at this time though. If he's unable to suit up, Sam Howell will likely step in again after he threw 5-for-14, 24 yards, and one interception on Sunday night.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. was held to just two catches in the 30-17 win over the New England Patriots. Despite a 23-yard catch-and-run on the game's first possession, Murray and Harrison Jr. could only connect one more time. The Cardinals did include Harrison Jr. in their game plan; however, Murray and Harrison Jr. just couldn't connect more than twice on the six targets Harrison Jr. received. Two of those targets came in the red zone, with shots to the end zone that New England Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez defended well. Now, heading into Week 16, it still appears that Murray and Harrison Jr. cannot find a way to get on the same page. Harrison Jr.'s touchdown upside, especially against the struggling Carolina Panthers, still keeps him in the conversation for a starting spot heading for fantasy football.

Dynasty | Jets wide receiver Davante Adams had nine catches for 198 yards and two touchdowns in a win against the Jaguars. Dynasty Analysis: The Jets are a dumpster fire, but Adams has been solid since being acquired from the Raiders. His future may hinge on just what Aaron Rodgers does moving forward, but Adams looks like a lineup lock for at least the rest of the season and a solid trade target for contenders in the off-season.

Dynasty | Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy had 11 catches for 108 yards in a loss to Cleveland. Dynasty Analysis: Jeudy has been nothing short of fantastic since Deshaun Watson was replaced with Jameis Winston and passed 1,000 yards receiving with his efforts today. A player who was nothing more than bench fodder for much of the season, Jeudy has been fantastic over the past month as he's finally looking like the first rounder he once was with the Broncos. Few players have seen their dynasty value rise more over the past month than Jeudy.

According to Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell, defensive back Carlton Davis III (jaw) and defensive lineman Alim McNeill (knee) are thought to have suffered season-ending injuries in Sunday's 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills. The NFL's Ian Rapoport reported the news. Ouch. Davis III picked up his issue early in the second quarter while attempting a tackle on Bills running back Ray Davis, while McNeill sustained his roughly midway through the third frame. Neither returned to the contest, and Campbell noted he "doesn't feel good" about either player's chances of playing again this season. The Lions' injuries on the defensive side of the ball are getting out of hand as their depth chart is studded with red designations that nearly outnumber the healthy athletes. Detroit has a road meeting against their division-rival Chicago Bears on tap for Week 16 with seemingly severely depleted defensive personnel.
