Carolina Panthers running back Mike Boone has been elevated to the team's active roster ahead of their Sunday meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. The 29-year-old has appeared in just one game this season -- the first -- registering four carries and seven yards. The move seemingly comes in response to fellow RB Raheem Blackshear (chest) being downgraded to out for Week 15, as he was the only other active back on the roster besides starter Chuba Hubbard. The Cowboys' defense has come around over the previous few weeks but could be without a few of their defenders this Sunday due to injury. Still, with Hubbard dominating the Panthers' snap share and backfield touches, Boone garners little more than handcuff status for the time being.

The Los Angeles Chargers placed wide receiver Jalen Reagor (finger) on injured reserve Saturday ahead of their matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In a corresponding move, the team elevated WR Laviska Shenault from their practice squad. It's unfortunate news for the 25-year-old, who has yet to live up to his first-round selection. He'll now be shelved for at least the next four contests. With only four weeks remaining in the regular season, this could be the last we see of Reagor this year unless the Chargers retain their pace and make a playoff berth. The fifth-year wideout's injury opens up some extra playing time for teammates Derius Davis and DJ Chark

According to Pat Leonard of The Daily News, quarterback Tim Boyle will be the backup QB for Tommy DeVito in Week 15. The 30-year-old was signed from the team's practice squad earlier this week and will now serve as second-string for New York's meeting with the visiting Baltimore Ravens. Teammate Drew Lock (heel/elbow), who is battling through injuries, will be the emergency QB. Boyle is now on his second squad of 2024, as he appeared in two games earlier this season for the Miami Dolphins. The veteran could get some playing time over the season's final stretch as the Giants continue to shuffle around quarterbacks due to injuries and poor play. However, none of New York's present quarterback options are particularly enticing for fantasy -- even against a Ravens defense that's allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to QBs in 2024 (22.3).

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (illness) is officially questionable for Week 15 with an illness. The rookie wideout was a late addition to the team's injury report on Friday. Wilson missed Week 13 -- the first game of his career -- with a late-week hamstring injury and is now in danger of being inactive again. This year, he's had a decent snap share, particularly in his previous two outings. However, it has yet to amount to much in terms of statistics. The 23-year-old has recorded only nine targets on the season but just three since Week 6. If he cannot play, fellow wide receiver Ainias Smith projects to get some more playing time. With WR Britain Covey (neck) ruled out for Sunday, Philly could be down two of their six wideouts against their in-state rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is expected to be active for Sunday's road matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The third-year back injured his knee before Week 11 but was able to get in some rest during the team's bye the following week. However, he re-aggravated the injury in Week 13 against the Seahawks before rattling off three straight DNPs and missing the subsequent contest. Hall kicked off this week labeled as a non-participant on back-to-back days but got in a full session on Friday and appears poised to be ready to go in Week 15. The 23-year-old has had an up-and-down year, but if he's fully healthy, he gets a smash matchup against a Jaguars defense that's allowed the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs in 2024 (28.6). New York may be cautious with the former second-round pick, being that his surgically repaired knee has the issue. Still, if he's active -- it will be hard to sit him in a juicy matchup. Hall is RotoBaller's PPR RB22 in this week's ranks.

Carolina Panthers tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders posted a dud during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanders failed to haul in his lone target of the game as he only played 49 percent of the offensive snaps. To be fair, it was his first game back from a neck injury, so possibly the Panthers were being cautious with him. The expectation is that Sanders is going to continue splitting up the reps with Tommy Tremble. That being said, Sanders won't be too appealing of a fantasy option for the Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. He should be considered a TE2 as he figures to see more involvement this week.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright has been mostly a non-factor in his rookie campaign. De'Von Achane has commanded the backfield, but there isn't any indication that head coach Mike McDaniel will split the touches moving forward. At this point in the season, he should be on the waiver wire in most redraft leagues. With Achane fully healthy, Wright will not be a starting option for the rest of the fantasy season.

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) was already ruled out for Week 15, but appears to be done for the season. The superstar pass rusher is expected to undergo arthroscopic ankle surgery that will end his 2024 campaign. This is a tough blow for the three-time Pro Bowl pass rusher who hadn't missed an NFL game until this season. He'll finish with 45 tackles, 17 tackles for loss, and 7.5 sacks in 12 games this season. The hope is that Crosby will ready to go by the time training camp rolls around. This is a huge loss for a Raiders defense that was already struggling to contain opposing offenses this season.

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet has been a disappointment to fantasy managers outside of a few big performances. Last week, Kmet wasn't targeted at all during the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Somehow, Kmet wasn't targeted during this game despite being on the field for over 90 percent on the snaps. It's tough for fantasy managers to insert Kmet into their lineups after that one. It's worth noting that Kmet finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 64 yards during the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Kmet will get a rematch with the Vikings this week, but remains on the TE2 radar.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze capitalized on his chances during last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers. The rookie wideout hauled in four of his five targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. This was the first time that Odunze has found the end zone since Week 3. The rookie wideout hasn't been as great as many thought coming into the season, but he is starting to see more involvement. Odunze has seen 31 targets over his last four games, which is a solid improvement from earlier in the season. He doesn't have great fantasy appeal, but warrants considering as a WR3 in PPR formats for the Week 15 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen has picked up his performance after a slow start to the season. The veteran wideout was sluggish last week, but before that Allen had 41 receiving yards or more in each of his previous four games. His best performance during that span was against the same Minnesota Vikings that he'll be playing in Week 15. Allen hauled in nine of his 15 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown during that game. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect another 15-target game from Allen, but he should remain involved in the passing attack. He should be considered a boom-or-bust WR3 for this Week 15 matchup.

From RotoBaller

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore has stepped it up for fantasy managers over the last month or so. Moore was a disappointment early in the season, but has six receptions or more over his last four games. Moore has also finished with 49 receiving yards or more over those last four contests. It finally appears that the 27-year-old is on the same page as rookie quarterback Caleb Williams. Moore comes into a plus-matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. A defense that he carved up for 106 yards on seven receptions earlier in the season. Fantasy managers should lower their expectations a bit, but Moore remains a solid WR2 for Week 15.

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams has been a frustrating player to roster this season, but he appears to be turning a corner. Over his last three games, Williams has seven touchdowns without any interceptions. The includes a 340-yard performance against the same Minnesota Vikings that he's playing in Week 15. The rookie signal-caller is finally settling in and should be fine option for fantasy managers this weekend. The Bears have been playing from behind quite often lately, which has forced Williams to pass more frequently. Fantasy managers should consider Williams a low-end QB1 for Week 15.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts continued his stretch fantasy futility last week, catching just a single ball from Kirk Cousins, which was the fourth time in the last five contests that the 24-year-old has caught one pass or fewer. The former first-round draft pick has fallen to a distant fifth option in the passing game, well below Ray-Ray McCloud III who earns nearly 17% of the team's targets compared to Pitts' 14%, with running back Bijan Robinson garnering 23 looks over the last five weeks compared to Pitts' 18. The Falcons play the Raiders this week, a defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to TEs on the season, so if there was any week to use him in the final weeks, this would probably be it. With the road to fantasy championships hanging in the balance, however, Pitts can't be trusted as a fantasy starter. The fourth-year pro is nothing more than a low-end TE2 for Monday Night Football, although the favorable matchup does give him some slight upside.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Aidan O'Connell (knee) is questionable to play against the Atlanta Falcons for Monday Night Football in Week 15. O'Connell did not participate in practice Thursday, Friday, or Saturday and has an official questionable tag heading into Monday night's contest. He has 899 yards passing and four passing touchdowns with three interceptions this season. Desmond Ridder is listed as the backup quarterback for the Raiders should O'Connell be sidelined on Monday. Ridder has 239 passing yards and a passing touchdown for Las Vegas this season.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London has seen a drop in fantasy production as Kirk Cousins has failed to throw even a single touchdown pass in each of the last four games, however, the 23-year-old has remained heavily involved in the passing attack, garnering double-digit targets in three of the last four games. The former first-round draft pick has a robust 75 receptions and six touchdowns on the season, however, he's topped 100 yards just once in 13 games. Without big yardage totals, a quarterback struggling to throw the ball in the red zone, and the emergence of Darnell Mooney (57-873-5), London makes for more of a high-end WR2 than a WR1, although his matchup versus the Raiders on Monday should prove to be a favorable one. The Raiders have been poor against wide receivers over the last four weeks, allowing six touchdowns and the second-most yards allowed. The Falcons are 4.5-point favorites in this one with an implied total for the team of 24.5, suggesting there will be a few opportunities for the 6-foot-4 wideout to find paydirt.

From RotoBaller

Las Vegas Raiders defensive end Maxx Crosby (ankle) is listed as out for the Raiders' Week 15 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Crosby has 7.5 sacks this season and 28 solo tackles this season. The talented defensive end is a big name for the Raiders' defense who can turn up the team's defensive pressure against opposing quarterbacks, so it will be difficult to start the D/ST in a matchup with Atlanta in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (back) has been placed on the injured reserve. Demercado has 24 rushes for 223 yards and a rushing touchdown this season and has added 16 catches for 104 receiving yards. Demercado's absence will likely open the door for more involvement for backup running back Trey Benson behind starter James Conner. Benson has some sneaky speculative pickup value with Demercado out and Conner himself being pretty injury-prone.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (hand, concussion) has been downgraded to out for Week 15 against the Commanders. Jake Haener will earn his first career start for the Saints on Sunday. Carr has passed for 2,145 yards and 15 touchdowns with five interceptions this season. Haener has 177 passing yards and a passing touchdown in backup duties this season. Haener will get the nod at starting quarterback for the Saints ahead of Spencer Rattler. The Commanders' D/ST looks like a solid fantasy play against the Saints offense led by Haener.

From RotoBaller

The Washington Commanders have placed wide receiver Noah Brown (internal injuries) on the injured reserve and have activated wide receiver Jamison Crowder from the reserve/injured list. Brown had 35 catches for 453 yards and a receiving touchdown this season. Crowder will now provide some depth at the wide receiver position for Washington behind Terry McLaurin, Dyami Brown, and Luke McCaffrey in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.
