    Jaylen Waddle Dec 15 2:00pm CT
    Jaylen Waddle

    Miami Dolphins wide receiver Jaylen Waddle (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game. The wideout suffered an apparent knee injury during the second quarter. Waddle was seen limping to the blue medical tent but was able to move under his own power. Before leaving, Waddle did not catch a pass, so his fantasy managers will surely be hoping he can return in this one. For the time being, Tyreek Hill and tight end Jonnu Smith should see most of the targets, with Malik Washington getting an increased role in the passing attack. Running back De'Von Achane should see more targets out of the backfield as well.

    Jalen Hurts Dec 15 2:00pm CT
    Jalen Hurts

    According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (finger) was seen wearing a bandage around his apparently broken finger when he arrived at Sunday's game. While Hurts was not on the injury report this week, this situation is worth monitoring leading up to kickoff in case he is limited in any fashion during today's game. For now, fantasy managers should keep him in their starting lineup until further notice.

    Bucky Irving Dec 15 2:00pm CT
    Bucky Irving

    Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Bucky Irving (back, hip) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had been listed as questionable after upgrading to a limited participant in practice on Friday. Irving has been active for every game this season, but he did sit out a portion of last week's contest after his back tightened up. We could see the rookie get a reduced workload this week, splitting opportunities with Rachaad White. Both backs are fringe top-24 fantasy options at their position.

    Zach Ertz Dec 15 1:50pm CT
    Zach Ertz

    Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game. The veteran tight end sustained this injury during the second quarter. Before leaving, Ertz brought in both of his targets for 25 yards. For the remainder of the game, fantasy managers should expect Daniels to target his wideouts heavily. No.2 tight end John Bates should see an uptick in opportunities during the second half as well. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on Ertz's status after the contest.

    Raheem Blackshear Dec 15 11:40am CT
    Raheem Blackshear

    Carolina Panthers running back Raheem Blackshear (chest) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Blackshear suffered a contusion last week, and while there was a chance he'd get healthy in time to face Dallas, that's ultimately not the case. With both Blackshear and Jonathon Brooks (torn ACL) sidelined, Carolina will proceed with Chuba Hubbard leading the way while Mike Boone and Velus Jones Jr. fill depth roles.

    Diontae Johnson Dec 15 11:30am CT
    Diontae Johnson

    Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Diontae Johnson, who is suspended for the Week 15 game against the New York Giants due to conduct detrimental to the team, is expected to return to the team's facilities on Monday. Johnson refused to go into the game in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles because of his unhappiness with his role in the offense, but the hope is that he'll find his way back into the good graces of the team down the stretch and into the postseason. The 28-year-old was acquired from the Carolina Panthers at the trade deadline in late October, but the Ravens just haven't found a way to implement him into their offense since, as he has just one catch on five targets for six yards in his four games played. Johnson is expected to remain with the team, but for fantasy purposes, he belongs on the waiver wire for the rest of the year.

    Marquise Brown Dec 15 11:30am CT
    Marquise Brown

    Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown (shoulder) received clearance from a doctor to resume practicing after having SC-joint surgery on his shoulder from an injury he suffered in the preseason. Brown returned to practice on Friday and was so quick and impressive that it is entirely possible that he'll be activated from Injured Reserve and be able to play in Week 16 versus the Houston Texans. The 27-year-old was signed in the offseason to essentially serve as KC's top receiver. However, he's missed the entire 2024 season to this point, and the Chiefs have since added wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and JuJu Smith-Schuster with Rashee Rice (knee) out for the season. If Hollywood does make his season and team debut next weekend, he'll almost certainly be on a limited snap count, which would make him extremely volatile for fantasy lineups in the playoffs.

    K.J. Osborn Dec 15 11:20am CT
    K.J. Osborn

    Washington Commanders wide receiver K.J. Osborn (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints. Osborn did not appear on the injury report this week and is a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old was claimed off waivers from New England just a few days ago, so it's possible he's inactive simply because he didn't have enough time to get integrated within the Washington offense. Regardless of the reason, he's not a dependable fantasy option moving forward.

    Za'Darius Smith Dec 15 11:13am CT
    Za'Darius Smith

    Detroit Lions DE Za'Darius Smith was fined $6,722 by the National Football League for roughing the passer in Week 14's game against the Green Bay Packers. Smith delivered a blow to the head/neck area of QB Jordan Love but was not flagged on the play.

    Breece Hall Dec 15 11:10am CT
    Breece Hall

    New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) is officially active for the Week 15 game on Sunday on the road against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Hall was a DNP on both Wednesday and Thursday for a knee injury that kept him sidelined for the Week 14 overtime loss to the division-rival Miami Dolphins, but he was able to return and practice in full on Friday. He still carried a questionable tag into Sunday, but he was expected to play, and now it's official that he will be active. Although the 23-year-old back is active, fantasy managers should have some doubt as to whether he'll actually see a normal complement of offensive snaps in the backfield. Last week, the Jets split the touches pretty much down the middle with rookie Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis. A potential lesser role with fewer touches in Week 15 makes Hall more volatile for fantasy as more of an RB3/flex option.

    Bradley Chubb Dec 15 11:10am CT
    Bradley Chubb

    Miami Dolphins linebacker Bradley Chubb (knee) and offensive tackles Terron Armstead (knee) and Kendall Lamm (back) have all been ruled out for Week 15 against the Houston Texans on Sunday. Chubb has yet to play this year while recovering from a torn ACL. The 28-year-old is making progress, though, and could make his 2024 season debut next weekend versus the San Francisco 49ers if he has a good week of practice. Getting Chubb back to close out the season will be a huge upgrade for Miami's pass rush. Armstead, who was listed as doubtful, aggravated his knee injury in the Week 14 overtime win over the division-rival New York Jets and won't be available against Houston. Patrick Paul will likely get the start in his absence. Houston's defensive line could cause some issues in Miami's backfield with both Armstead and Lamm out.

    Tony Pollard Dec 15 11:00am CT
    Tony Pollard

    As expected, Tennessee Titans running back Tony Pollard (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's contest against the visiting Cincinnati Bengals in Week 15. Pollard missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but returned to a limited practice on Friday before being labeled questionable for the weekend. The Titans expected their lead RB to play all along, though, and now it's official that he'll play against Cincy. The 27-year-old should be viewed as a strong RB2 play for fantasy managers in the first round of the playoffs in most leagues against a Bengals defense that has been gouged by opposing offenses all year long. Pollard saw 21 carries for 102 yards -- his third 100-yard game of the season -- in last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's had 20-plus carries five times this year and should once again dominate backfield touches for the Titans this week.

    Kenneth Walker III Dec 15 11:00am CT
    Kenneth Walker III

    Seattle Seahawks running back Kenneth Walker III (calf) will be inactive for Sunday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. The calf issue has hindered Walker over the last few weeks. It was enough to sideline him last Sunday against the Cardinals, and now, he'll be inactive again versus Green Bay. His absence opens the door for Zach Charbonnet to start at running back. Charbonnet took advantage of his increased role last weekend, totaling 134 rushing yards, seven catches, 59 receiving yards, and two touchdowns en route to being the highest-scoring running back in fantasy football. Even against a tougher defense in the Packers, Charbonnet should continue to be viewed as a low-end RB1 option.

    Jamison Crowder Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Jamison Crowder

    Washington Commanders wide receiver Jamison Crowder (calf) is active for Week 15. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. He was activated from injured reserve over the weekend, suggesting that he would be able to suit up. The veteran receiver played in two games at the start of the season, catching just one pass for five yards. Crowder should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

    Eric Kendricks Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Eric Kendricks

    Dallas Cowboys linebacker Eric Kendricks (shoulder, personal) is active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable, and there was some concern about his availability after he missed all three practices this past week. In the end, though, the veteran defender will suit up for the Cowboys' first away game since Week 12. Kendricks has been productive in his age-32 season, registering 119 tackles, three sacks, three forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, and one interception through 12 total games.

    Jadeveon Clowney Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Jadeveon Clowney

    Carolina Panthers linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (knee) and cornerback Jaycee Horn (groin) are active for Week 15 against the Dallas Cowboys. Both players had been listed as questionable. Clowney closed out this week's practices with a pair of full sessions while Horn was consistently a limited participant. Clowney, 31, has been productive through 10 games this season, registering 33 tackles and 3.5 sacks. Meanwhile, Horn has appeared in all 13 contests, tallying 62 tackles, one sack, and one interception. Having both playmakers available is great news for the Panthers as they enter Sunday's winnable game against Dallas.

    Dustin Hopkins Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Dustin Hopkins

    Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins is being benched in Week 15 against the Kansas City Chiefs and is a healthy scratch on Sunday. Hopkins has missed six of his last nine field-goal chances, including two in the Week 14 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. As a result, the Browns added Riley Patterson to their practice squad earlier this week, and he will now serve as the team's placekicker in Week 15. Hopkins felt confident that he had a good week of practice, but the Browns apparently felt otherwise and were not comfortable using him this weekend. If Patterson also struggles against KC, perhaps Cleveland will turn back to Hopkins in Week 16 against the Cincinnati Bengals. On the year, the 34-year-old Hopkins has made only 64% of his field goals (16-for-25) while also missing two of his 18 extra-point attempts in 13 games.

    Drew Lock Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Drew Lock

    New York Giants quarterback Drew Lock (heel, left elbow) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as doubtful after missing all three practices this past week. Lock will serve as the Giants' emergency third quarterback on Sunday, which means he would be allowed to enter the game if both Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle suffer injuries and cannot play. Otherwise, Lock will watch Sunday's game from the sideline. He can be dropped in most fantasy leagues now that DeVito is healthy and back under center.

    Deonte Banks Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Deonte Banks

    New York Giants cornerback Deonte Banks (rib) is officially inactive for Week 15 against the Baltimore Ravens. He had been listed as questionable after logging three limited practices in a row. Banks played in each of the Giants' first 11 games this season, registering 43 tackles and one forced fumble. However, he has been injured since Week 12, now missing three consecutive games. Adoree' Jackson and Tre Hawkins should earn additional opportunities in the defensive secondary with Banks sidelined.

    Charlie Jones Dec 15 10:50am CT
    Charlie Jones

    Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Charlie Jones (groin) remains out of action for the Week 15 contest on Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. Jones didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but was upgraded to a full practice on Friday before being given a questionable tag for Sunday's game. However, the 26-year-old has been ruled out for his sixth straight game this weekend, meaning running back Khalil Herbert and Isaiah Williams should continue to serve as the team's kick and punt returners, respectively. Jones, a fourth-round selection in 2023, has played in only eight games in his second year in the NFL and has caught his only target for a five-yard gain. When healthy, he's primarily an option on special teams for the Bengals as a returner and is off the fantasy radar. He had seven catches for 64 yards and no touchdowns in 11 games as a rookie.
