Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff turned in his best fantasy performance of the season in the team's 48-42 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Goff lit up the Bills for 494 passing yards and five passing touchdowns in what turned out to be the highest-scoring NFL game of this season. The Lions' signal caller threw early and often as he completed 38-of-59 passing attempts in the game. Goff spread the ball around to five different players who caught touchdowns including offensive lineman Dan Skipper. With the Lions trailing much of the game, Goff was in catch-up mode and his stats benefitted big time.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield came ready to play during Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mayfield completed 22-of-27 passing attempts for 288 yards for four touchdowns and one interception in the blowout victory. Mayfield started to lose some steam coming out of the bye week, but has been a strong fantasy contributor in each of the last two games. Fantasy managers who continued to ride with Mayfield received a big payoff for what was likely a playoff game. Mayfield will get another plus-matchup next week against the Dallas Cowboys. After this performance, Mayfield needs to be locked in as a QB1 for Week 16.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown caught a 66-yard touchdown pass as part of a very productive statistical game in Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills. St. Brown hauled in 14 passes for 193 receiving yards and a score on 18 targets. His 14 catches were a season-high and his 18 targets tied for his season lead. The talented wide receiver took advantage of his many looks and his long catch and run for a TD in what turned out to be a huge performance during the fantasy playoffs. It was the first game with a touchdown for St. Brown in his last four outings as he bounced back in a big way for fantasy managers.

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) had zero receptions on two targets before exiting the game with a knee injury in the 20-12 Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans. The injury came when a defender landed on the back of his leg, causing him to land awkwardly and limp immediately after. It's disappointing for fantasy managers, especially considering how suspect the Texans defense has been at stopping wide receivers in 2024. It will be worth monitoring his status for Week 16 leading up to their matchup next Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers.

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught nine of 11 targets for 48 yards and a touchdown in the 20-12 Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans. The touchdown came from seven yards out on a beautiful throw from Tua Tagovailoa in the back of the endzone. Smith continues to be one of the most reliable tight ends in 2024, with his fifth game in a row with 13+ PPR fantasy points. This also marks the fourth time in the last five games that he has scored a touchdown. He now ranks as the TE4 overall and is a premier option for the fantasy football playoffs. Week 16 presents a matchup against a now-healthy San Francisco 49ers defense.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Matt Milano (groin) is questionable to return on Sunday against the Lions. The 30-year-old injured his groin, so he'll finish with three tackles in Week 15 if he can't get back on the field. The Bills have a comfortable lead. But with the Lions working their way back, Buffalo could certainly use him back on the defensive side of the ball. If Milano is done, Baylon Spector could see more work. However, Milano is tough to replace.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young threw for 219 yards and one touchdown off 19-for-28 passing in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. He also had two picks and added 12 yards and a score off three touches. The signal-caller has played better of late compared to the start of the 2024-25 campaign. However, he seemingly took a small step backward in Week 15. But it appears Young will have an opportunity to turn it around, with head coach Dave Canales stating the 23-year-old would remain under center in Week 16 versus the Arizona Cardinals. With that in mind, that won't necessarily make him a trustworthy fantasy option.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Bills. It hasn't been a good day for the Lions defense, with Carlton Davis III (jaw) and Khalil Dorsey (ankle) both also suffering game-ending injuries. There is long-term concern regarding McNeill's health, with the 24-year-old totaling 3.5 sacks entering Week 15. If he isn't available versus the Chicago Bears in Week 16, Levi Onwuzurike could see more work.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders made 2-of-2 field goal attempts and missed his only extra point in the 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. That's now 18 straight field goals made by the 29-year-old. His long came from 55 yards out to make it 3-3 early in the second quarter, and he is now 9-11 from 50+ on the season. Sanders looks like he did in his 2020 season, during which he had a career year. The only downside to his day was the missed extra point; he made two straight attempts he's missed. His next matchup will come at home against the San Francisco 49ers next Sunday.

From RotoBaller

Los Angeles Chargers offensive guard Zion Johnson (ankle) is questionable to return on Sunday versus the Bucs. The 25-year-old sustained an ankle injury. However, with the game presumably out of reach, he likely won't be back for the remainder of Week 15. Unfortunately, Johnson won't have much time to get healthy, considering the Chargers will meet the Broncos on Thursday night. The team certainly needs him out there, especially with Justin Herbert taking a beating of late. But if he misses time, Jamaree Salyer is the only healthy guard on the roster behind Trey Pipkins III.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane carried the ball 12 times for 41 yards and caught all seven of his targets for 35 yards in the 20-12 Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. The Miami offense's struggles to run the ball effectively continue with only 52 total rushing yards. This is the first time he has not gotten into the endzone in four games. Despite the poor rushing totals, his receiving output again saved Achane's fantasy day. This marks the sixth time in the last seven games that Achane has gone over 14+ PPR fantasy points. He once again paced the Miami backfield in touches by a wide margin and figures to continue that for the rest of the season. His next matchup will be back at home against the San Francisco 49ers.

From RotoBaller

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill (wrist) caught two of seven targets for 36 yards in their 20-12 loss to the Houston Texans. The struggles continue for Hill, who has had a very disappointing 2024 campaign. The 36 receiving yards is his lowest total in a game since Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. The offense struggled to get much going with their worst performance since Tua Tagovailoa returned in Week 8. More alarming is that Miami was down for most of the game, and Hill only received seven targets. With the loss, Miami's chances of making the playoffs are now slim to none. Fantasy managers competing in playoffs will hope for better performances in the coming weeks. His next opportunity will come at home in Week 16 against the San Francisco 49ers.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos running back Jaleel McLaughlin (quadriceps) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Colts. The 24-year-old had 84 yards off 14 carries versus the Browns heading into the Broncos' bye. He has also led the way on the rushing end in Week 15, amassing seven touches for 21 yards and adding three catches for 13 yards. But if he doesn't return, that should mean more work for Javonte Williams and Audric Estime for the rest of the contest. That should remain the case if McLaughlin isn't available on Thursday night versus the Chargers.

From RotoBaller

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. The wideout wasn't involved before going down with a concussion, failing to catch any of his four targets. Fortunately, the Colts got Josh Downs (shoulder) back for this one, which will help lessen the blow. Michael Pittman Jr. could also see a few more looks from Anthony Richardson with Pierce out of commission.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (undisclosed) returned to Sunday's intrastate battle with the Steelers. The back had 31 yards off seven carries. However, he exited the contest to be evaluated in the blue medical tent before remaining on the sidelines. Of course, fantasy managers were concerned. Fortunately, he's back in, although his health will be a major topic of discussion for the remainder of this contest and heading into the Week 16 matchup versus the Commanders.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions cornerbacks Khalil Dorsey (ankle) and Carlton Davis III (jaw) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Buffalo Bills. Davis left to receive a concussion evaluation along with his jaw injury. As a result, Dorsey entered the contest, although he didn't last long before taking a big hit. With the Lions down two players from the secondary, the team will need to get creative the rest of the way, considering the Detroit defense has had issues slowing down the Bills offense through the first half.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Davante Adams caught nine of his 12 targets for 198 yards and two touchdowns during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. His 198 yards set a new season-high. This was also his second-straight contest, totaling over 100 receiving yards, and his third-straight game saw at least double-digit targets. Adams' first score of the afternoon came on a one-yard pass from Aaron Rodgers in the second quarter. Then, in the third, Adam broke free on a 71-yard TD reception. While it took Adams some time to adjust to the New York playbook, the veteran wideout is getting on track at the right time. Fantasy managers should feel confident viewing the 31-year-old as a high-end WR2 heading into Week 16, facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the 13th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts.

From RotoBaller

Philadelphia Eagles running back Saquon Barkley (undisclosed) was examined in the blue medical tent during Sunday's meeting with the Steelers. While the team hasn't released an official injury designation, he hasn't returned to the game. Without question, fantasy managers are concerned, especially since he's been a top fantasy producer throughout the 2024-25 campaign. If Barkley doesn't return, he'll finish with 31 yards off seven carries, with Kenneth Gainwell in line for more opportunities out of the backfield.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions cornerback Carlton Davis III (concussion, jaw) is questionable to return to Sunday's showdown with the Buffalo Bills. The 27-year-old is one of the Lions most dependable defenders, totaling 54 tackles and adding two picks during the 2024-25 campaign. With Josh Allen and the Bills offense currently having no issues putting up points in Week 15, Detroit needs Davis back on the field as soon as possible. But if he can't return, Khalil Dorsey could see more action.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers went 16-for-30 with 289 yards and three passing scores during their victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rodgers added a season-high 45 rushing yards on six carries. Rodgers tallied his first score of the afternoon on a 22-yard TD pass to Garrett Wilson in the opening frame. Then, in the third, Rodgers found Davante Adams on a one-yard strike and would eventually find him a second time in the fourth quarter, this time on a 71-yard pass. After failing to total over 300 all-purpose yards during the first 12 games of the season, the 41-year-old has now accomplished that feat in two straight games. While he has had a disappointing season, Rodgers has begun to turn the corner during the final stretch. He could be a viable low-end QB1 next weekend, facing the Los Angeles Rams, who have allowed the ninth-most PPR points to opposing quarterbacks.
