Buffalo Bills safeties Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp, who were questionable for the road game against the Detroit Lions, were on the inactive list Sunday.

Hamlin (back, ribs) and Rapp (neck, shoulder) were limited at practice this week. Tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee), who hasn't played since Nov. 10, practiced in full all week and was active for Buffalo (10-3).

Bender's Starts/Sits: Week 15

Player Notes
Jayden Daniels Dec 15 3:30pm CT
Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels went 25-for-31 with 226 yards and two scores during the victory over the New Orleans Saints. Daniels added 66 yards on 11 rushing attempts. The Commanders got out to a hot start as Daniels found Terry McLaurin for two touchdowns in the opening half. However, during the second half, Daniels and the Commanders had trouble moving downfield and were only able to put up points via two field goals. While the LSU product was on pace to enjoy a big game, he still produced a solid outing for fantasy managers. Over his previous three contests, Daniels has tallied two passing scores in each contest. Next weekend, he will host the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the second-fewest PPR points to oppose QBs.

Dorian Thompson-Robinson Dec 15 3:30pm CT
Dorian Thompson-Robinson

Cleveland Browns quarterback Jameis Winston was benched and replaced by Dorian Thompson-Robinson during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. An ugly performance by Winston and his undisputed tendency to turn over the football prompted the Browns' coaching staff to make a quarterback change in the final minutes of Week 15. Winston completed just 16 of his 25 pass attempts for 146 yards, zero touchdowns, and three interceptions. He also took five sacks and lost two yards rushing. Furthermore, the veteran quarterback fumbled, but he recovered the loose ball himself. In his brief appearance leading the offense, Thompson-Robinson didn't fare much better, completing four of nine passes for 18 yards, zero touchdowns, and one interception. He did demonstrate a little more mobility than Winston, adding 18 rushing yards on three attempts. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates on the Browns' quarterback position, as it appears the competition for the starting role has been re-opened.

C.J. Stroud Dec 15 3:30pm CT
C.J. Stroud

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had an efficient but low-volume game against the Miami Dolphins, completing 18 of 26 passes for 131 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in a 20-13 victory. He also ran six times for four yards and lost a fumble. The entire Houston offense had a slow day, managing only 181 total yards, but the second-year quarterback tossed a pair of six-yard touchdowns to wide receiver Nico Collins to secure the win. It was yet another Sunday in which Houston offense left a lot to be desired, but they ultimately end the week at 9-5. Stroud and the Texans will travel to Kansas City for a Saturday showdown in Week 16.

Devin Singletary Dec 15 3:30pm CT
Devin Singletary

New York Giants running back Devin Singletary made the most of his limited opportunities in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Singletary carried the ball eight times for 25 yards, averaging 3.1 yards per carry, and punched in a goal-line touchdown to highlight his performance. He also contributed in the passing game with three receptions for 16 yards, bringing his total touches to 11, equal to teammate Tyrone Tracy Jr. However, Singletary proved more effective, securing the team's only rushing touchdown and outpacing Tracy in the receiving game with three catches to Tracy's one.

Brian Robinson Jr. Dec 15 3:30pm CT
Brian Robinson Jr.

Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. ran for 65 yards on 21 attempts during their narrow victory over the New Orleans Saints. Robinson added 22 yards on three receptions through the air. His longest carry of the day went for 20 yards. With Austin Ekeler (concussion) sidelined, Robinson saw the vast majority of attempts out of the backfield, especially since it was a close contest. Jeremy McNichols and Chris Rodriguez Jr. combined for just three total rushing attempts all afternoon, while Jayden Daniels logged the second-most attempts (11). Robinson's three targets were also the highest he has seen since Week 4, which suggests that while Ekeler remains out, Robinson could evolve into a true three-down running back. The Alabama product has another tough matchup ahead of him next weekend, facing the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points to opposing running backs.

Dyami Brown Dec 15 3:20pm CT
Dyami Brown

Washington Commanders safety Jeremy Chinn (head) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He collided with wide receiver Dyami Brown, and while Brown was quickly cleared to return, Chinn required additional evaluation for a potential concussion. The Saints are officially saying that he's questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had registered seven tackles, one sack, and two tackles for loss. Percy Butler and Jeremy Reaves should earn additional opportunities until the 26-year-old can return to action.

Martin Emerson Dec 15 3:20pm CT
Martin Emerson

Cleveland Browns cornerback Martin Emerson (head) exited during the first half of Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs and was unable to return. At the time of his departure, Emerson had made one tackle, bringing his season total up to 67. Mike Ford will take Emerson's spot in the defensive lineup until the 24-year-old can return.

Nico Collins Dec 15 3:20pm CT
Nico Collins

Wide receiver Nico Collins of the Houston Texans had his lowest receiving output of the season Sunday against the Miami Dolphins but still caught two passes for touchdowns in his team's 20-13 win. The Texans' No. 1 receiver managed just four catches on six targets for a meager 17 yards but snagged two six-yard touchdowns to end up with a decent fantasy day despite the low totals. The Dolphins have been especially tough on wide receivers this year, though Collins scratched out some value from a game in which his team managed only 181 total yards. He'll face a marquee opponent next week when Houston takes on Kansas City in a Saturday matchup.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Dec 15 3:20pm CT
Tyrone Tracy Jr.

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. struggled to find his footing in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite leading the backfield with 10 carries, Tracy managed just 31 rushing yards with a long of 12 and a modest 3.1 yards per carry, failing to find the end zone. He added one reception for four yards, finishing the game with four fantasy points. While Tracy had more carries than Devin Singletary, who logged eight, Singletary capitalized on a goal-line opportunity for a touchdown and outpaced Tracy in the passing game with three receptions. Both backs tied for total touches at 11, but Tracy's limited efficiency and lack of scoring opportunities muted his impact.

Johnny Wilson Dec 15 3:10pm CT
Johnny Wilson

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Johnny Wilson (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie had been added to the injury report on Saturday, but it appears as though his status improved enough in time for him to suit up in Week 15. The Florida State product will likely operate as the Eagles' No. 4 receiver behind A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and Jahan Dotson.

Patrick Mahomes Dec 15 3:10pm CT
Patrick Mahomes

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) exited during the fourth quarter of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns and is officially questionable to return. The superstar quarterback suffered the injury while being sacked. The Chiefs punted away to the Browns, and on their next drive, Carson Wentz replaced Mahomes under center. At the time of his departure, Mahomes had completed just 19 of 38 pass attempts (50 percent) for 159 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions. He also rushed for 14 yards. Managers should stay tuned for updates on Mahomes' status as the fantasy playoffs continue.

Tim Boyle Dec 15 3:10pm CT
Tim Boyle

New York Giants quarterback Tim Boyle made his debut for the team in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Signed to the practice squad on November 19, Boyle was activated this week as the primary backup following Drew Lock's heel injury. He entered the game at halftime after starter Tommy DeVito exited with a possible concussion, completing 12 of 24 passes for 123 yards with one touchdown (to Malik Nabers) and one interception. Boyle averaged 5.1 yards per attempt and took one sack, finishing with 7.12 fantasy points in his first action as a Giant.

Kyle Dugger Dec 15 3:10pm CT
Kyle Dugger

New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger (ankle) and cornerback Christian Gonzalez (shoulder) are active for Week 15 against the Arizona Cardinals. Both players had been listed as questionable after logging limited practices all week long. Dugger has appeared in nine games this season, compiling 50 tackles, one sack, and one forced fumble. Meanwhile, Gonzalez has continued to emerge as an impactful starting cornerback with his 55 tackles, two interceptions, and one fumble recovery. Having both players available is a huge development for the Patriots as they take on the Cardinals this Sunday.

Mo Alie-Cox Dec 15 3:00pm CT
Mo Alie-Cox

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (hip) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as questionable after missing practice on Friday. Cox has appeared in all 13 games so far this season, catching 11 passes for 132 yards and one touchdown. Indianapolis' tight ends have no appeal in fantasy football given the committee of Cox, Kylen Granson, Drew Ogletree, and Will Mallory.

Grant DuBose Dec 15 3:00pm CT
Grant DuBose

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Grant DuBose (head) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. He finishes Week 15 having caught one pass for a loss of two yards. DuBose suffered a scary head-to-head hit while attempting to catch a pass during the second half. It appeared to be a very serious situation as the game was paused for 12 minutes so that medical personnel could tend to DuBose. The medical staff eventually removed his helmet, jersey, and pads before stabilizing him on a stretcher, taking him off the field, and transporting him to the hospital. The Dolphins say that DuBose is in stable condition and will continue to be evaluated.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Sam Hubbard (right knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans. Hubbard made one tackle prior to his departure, and he actually caught a touchdown pass from Joe Burrow, too. It came at a cost, though, as Hubbard's day is done. Myles Murphy and Joseph Ossai will be tasked with handling additional defensive snaps until Hubbard can return to action.

Chamarri Conner

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Chamarri Conner (concussion) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns. At the time of his departure, he had four tackles, bringing his season total up to 65. He'll now have less than one week to clear concussion protocol before the Chiefs' next contest against the Houston Texans. In the meantime, Christian Roland-Wallace, Keith Taylor, and Nazeeh Johnson should earn more defensive snaps.

Nick Chubb Dec 15 2:40pm CT
Nick Chubb

Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran running back was taken to the locker room in the middle of the third quarter. He finishes Week 15 with nine carries for 41 rushing yards. He did not catch a pass, but he did have a key drop that turned into a Chiefs interception. It's been an underwhelming year for Chubb, who returned from his serious knee injury in the middle of the season and has not been his old self. He's having the most inefficient season of his career, averaging just 3.3 yards per carry. Chubb's next chance to play will come next Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. In the meantime, Jerome Ford will step up as Cleveland's No. 1 running back.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette (groin) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, the rookie had caught two of his three targets of seven yards through the air. He also rushed for two yards. Adam Thielen, David Moore, and Jalen Coker should operate as the Panthers' primary wide receivers with Legette sidelined.

Alvin Kamara

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (groin) exited during the second half of Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. He is officially questionable to return. At the time of his departure, he had 12 rushing yards on five carries. More importantly, he caught four of his five targets for 58 receiving yards and delivered an impressive one-handed touchdown catch. The FOX game broadcast showed Kamara gingerly walking to the locker room with a member of the medical staff, but on a positive note, he was moving on his own power. Kendre Miller will step up as New Orleans' primary running back until Kamara can return to action.
