New Orleans Saints running back Kendre Miller scored a rough-and-tumble touchdown in his return from injured reserve in Week 14. Miller out-touched Jamaal Williams 10-to-5 backing up Alvin Kamara (illness) and saw a 17-to-5 advantage in their snap counts, as well. Kamara logged consecutive DNPs to start Week 15 which allowed Miller to see more reps in practice. Kamara recovered well enough to practice in full on Friday and is off the team's injury report, relegating Miller to his expected backup role and limiting his fantasy value. There is a chance that the 5-8 Saints pull back on their blistering use of Kamara and give Miller more work but the offense as a whole is a downgrade with quarterback Jake Haener pulling a start in lieu of the ailing Derek Carr (concussion, hand). Miller is a solid bench stash but he should not be in starting lineups for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marquez Valdes-Scantling's recent run of fantasy relevance appears to be over. Over the Saints' three games from Week 10 to Week 13 (bye Week 12), he compiled 232 receiving yards and four touchdowns on just seven receptions. The party came to an end in Week 14, though. Not only was MVS held out of the end zone, but his quarterback, Derek Carr (concussion, hand), left the game due to injury and will cede the Week 15 start against the Commanders to Jake Haener. Haener has appeared in seven games this season, going a combined 14-for-29 for 177 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. With Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) still on IR and Bub Means (ankle) declared out, Valdes-Scantling is still the de facto WR1 for the Saints. However, with the inexperienced Haener under center, MVS should be kept out of lineups for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. has been unable to command an increased role despite the multiple injuries in the team's wide receiver room. Even with top targets Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) on injured reserve, Wilson's presence in the Saints' offense has been limited, with just four receptions for 71 yards since peaking with a 6-57-1 line in Week 7. Over the Saints' last three games, Wilson has just two targets and in Week 14 saw just one snap more than practice squad signee Dante Pettis (22-21) but ran three fewer routes. Now that Jake Haener is drawing the start in Week 15 in lieu of the ailing Derek Carr (concussion, hand), Wilson's prospects seem even dimmer than usual. Wilson belongs nowhere near a starting lineup in the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson (foot) was limited in practice twice to start the week but logged a full practice on Friday. He carries no designation heading into the Saints' Week 15 clash with the Washington Commanders. Even with the Saints' wide receiver corps banged up and utilityman Taysom Hill (knee) suffering a season-ending injury in Week 13, Johnson has not moved past being a touchdown-dependent fantasy option. Odds for another score are not in his favor in Week 15, as Jake Haener will make his first NFL start over Derek Carr (concussion, hand). While it is often assumed that an inexperienced starter might turn to their tight ends as safety blankets, when Carr missed three games earlier this season Johnson saw 13 targets and produced a 9-114-0 line. Johnson's prospects for fantasy relevance were slim to begin with but without Carr, his potential takes a hit and he should not be relied on for the first round of the fantasy playoffs.

The New Orleans Saints will give quarterback Jake Haener the start on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Interim head coach Darren Rizzi confirmed the nomination in comments to the media on Friday. Haener took the reins from Derek Carr (hand, concussion) in Week 14 after Carr injured himself late in the Saints' win over the New York Giants. He only had one dropback in that game, which resulted in a sack for a loss of 10 yards. This will be Haener's first start of the season. During the season, Haener appeared in seven games in 2024, going 14-for-29 for 177 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. The Saints wide receiver corps has been depleted by injuries, limiting the inexperienced Haener's utility to fantasy managers in two-QB leagues who are desperate for their second option.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas was anticipated to have a breakout season. While the 25-year-old has had a few quality performances, he still isn't playing at the level most had hoped. With a career-high five touchdowns, Iosivas should make another trip or two to the end zone before the end of the regular season. But he's not consistent by any means, making him a risky fantasy commodity for managers in Week 15 versus the Tennessee Titans.

Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown was expected to have a quality year. However, not many could have predicted he would be playing as well as he has during the 2024-25 campaign. The 25-year-old has gotten in done as a runner and pass-catcher, rushing for 735 yards off 166 touches and adding 44 grabs for 55 yards. He's also combined for nine touchdowns. With a meeting versus the Titans on the horizon, Brown is anticipated to remain heavily involved, keeping him a must-start for fantasy managers.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase continues to get it done. The former LSU Tiger is the best wideout in the National Football League, and he's coming off a potent 14-catch, 177-yard, two-touchdown performance in the Monday night win over the Dallas Cowboys. With the Bengals barely holding on to their playoff hopes, Chase and company will meet the Titans in Week 15. Tennessee's defense has played well enough during the 2024-25 campaign. However, no matter who Chase is up against, he is always in line to finish as a top fantasy producer. Of course, this isn't news to many.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins has battled multiple injuries during the year. Still, he's as good as it gets when healthy. With the 25-year-old coming off a two-catching performance in the Monday night win over Dallas, he'll look to bounce back in Week 15 versus Tennessee. Granted, he isn't as productive as Ja'Marr Chase. However, Joe Burrow has heavily relied on Higgins during the 2024-25 campaign, so it shouldn't surprise fantasy managers if the former Clemson Tiger is the team's top pass-catcher against the Titans. Keep him starting in all fantasy formats.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. will look to match his Week 14 performance in Week 15 against the New York Jets. The rookie receiver finished with eight catches and 86 yards, most of which came in the fourth quarter. Given the Jaguars offense moved the ball much better when BTJ got more involved (all 10 points came in the fourth quarter) expect him to be heavily involved once more against the Jets. However, with Mac Jones still under center and struggling (zero touchdowns in three starts) and the Jets defense laser-focused on him (Evan Engram, Gabe Davis, Christian Kirk all out for the season), his upside is somewhat limited. Even with everything stacked against him though, BTJ has proven he has the talent to still produce. Fantasy managers should tentatively start BTJ as a WR2 in Week 15 against the Jets.

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has had a remarkable season and will look to keep rolling against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Philadelphia surrenders the third-fewest fantasy points to kickers and holds opposing offenses to the fewest total yards in the NFL. However, Boswell has proven time and time again that he can overcome difficult matchups. If Pittsburgh's offense stalls out in the red zone as it has at times this year, Boswell will be tasked with keeping the Steelers in the contest. Fantasy managers should have the utmost confidence starting Boswell in all redraft formats in Week 15.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange can be a decent option in Week 15 against the New York Jets for fantasy managers dealing with tight end injuries. Starting tight end Evan Engram is out for the season, meaning Strange has a chance to step up. Given Engram only put up four catches for 33 yards last week against the Tennessee Titans with Mac Jones under center, it is hard to imagine Strange having a big game. However, with multiple injuries to starting tight ends, such as Engram, David Njoku, Dallas Goedert, and Will Dissly, fantasy managers can do much worse than Strange. The Jets are good against tight ends, so it would be rash to start Strange over a more established option, but at the very least, Strange is worth picking up as a backup in Week 15.

Marvin Harrison Jr. is a low-end WR2 in Week 15 when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots. It has been a frustrating season for Harrison Jr.'s fantasy owners, as the consistency has just not been there for the Cardinals' top target. Harrison Jr. has been receiving a lot of targets, but he and quarterback Kyler Murray can't seem to get on the same page. The receivers have been limited in racking up yards with the lack of downfield shots in the Cardinals' offense. Although, Harrison Jr. has been productive in getting into the end zone, as he's tied for 6th in the NFL with Seven touchdowns this season. He remains a low-end WR2 or mid-tier flex play for fantasy football in Week 15.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Xavier Legette has shown signs of promise in his first year in the National Football League. Unfortunately for the rookie, he's had a tough time getting anything going of late. In his last three games, he's been targeted 22 times. Yet, Legette has only 10 receptions to show for it. While the consistent attention from Bryce Young is a good sign, his presence in any fantasy lineup for the Week 15 matchup against Dallas won't be without risk. Still, Legette does have four touchdowns during the 2024-25 campaign, so he has limited flex value for those participating in 12-team fantasy leagues and up.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren has gained at least 60 total yards in five straight contests and should continue to serve as a complement to Najee Harris against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Warren's utilization has been somewhat inconsistent as of late but he has been effective when given opportunities. Although the Eagles are stingy against the run, Philadelphia gives up plenty of receptions to opposing backs. With George Pickens (hamstring) inactive in Week 14, Warren led all Steelers with five targets. Pickens has already been ruled out this week, once again opening the door for Warren to contribute through the air. He is not a recommended starting option in standard redraft formats but Warren can be deployed as an RB3 with flex appeal in PPR leagues.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver David Moore had his first touchdown of the season in the Week 12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 29-year-old caught five of his nine targets for 40 yards the following week against his former team, the Bucs. Unfortunately, he was held to only two grabs in the Week 14 meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. With that in mind, there's a realistic chance Moore will find the end zone again before the end of the regular season. But since he's not a consistent fantasy option by any means, he shouldn't have a place in any fantasy lineup, even with a promising matchup versus an unreliable Cowboys defense on tap for Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth has shown signs of life for fantasy purposes recently and will hope to continue trending positively in a Week 15 road meeting with the Philadelphia Eagles. Freiermuth scored and led the Steelers with 48 receiving yards last week as the team adjusted without George Pickens (hamstring). With Pickens sidelined again this week, Freiermuth should operate as a go-to guy for quarterback Russell Wilson. It is important to note that Philadelphia has surrendered the sixth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends, making it difficult to trust Freiermuth as a starting option. He is best viewed as a high-end TE2 on Sunday and can be deployed by fantasy teams without a more reliable player at the position.

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. was heavily involved in the passing game in Week 14, and that likely won't change in Week 15 against the New York Jets. With Mac Jones under center and multiple passing options out with injuries, Etienne Jr. emerged as a top target, putting up 50 yards on four catches and four targets. Now that Evan Engram is also out for the season, Etienne Jr. could be even more involved in the passing game this week due to the lack of healthy receiving options. The 25-year-old back also got four carries for 20 yards, making him more efficient than teammate Tank Bigsby. If Etienne Jr. can receive even more carries and remain heavily involved in the passing game, he will serve as a decent flex in Week 15 against the Jets.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has had a quality 2024-25 campaign. He most recently ran for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Week 14 loss to Philadelphia. The 25-year-old also caught four passes. But there is reason to believe he will be even more productive in Sunday's clash with Dallas, considering the Cowboys defense has been a mess all year. Miles Sanders (ankle) and Jonathon Brooks (knee) won't play, and with Raheem Blackshear (chest) questionable, Hubbard is in line for plenty of work in Week 15. Truth be told, he'll still get plenty of touches even if Blackshear is cleared to suit up.

From RotoBaller

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Adam Thielen missed time this season because of a hamstring injury. However, since returning in late November, the veteran wideout has been productive, most recently catching nine of his 11 targets for 102 yards in the loss to the Eagles. With 17 receptions in the last two weeks, Thielen has an excellent chance to keep it going for fantasy managers against an unreliable Cowboys defense, making him a must-start in any format.
