The Eagles’ OL Health Could Decide Fantasy Championships: Offensive Lines and Their Fantasy Impacts, Week 15

Thomas Emerick
December 13, 2025

I put Kansas City on alert for a critical mass of injuries last week with Trey Smith, Josh Simmons, and Jawaan Taylor out for the Sunday nighter against Houston. The Eagles aren’t quite there yet, but it’s a situation to monitor.

Landon Dickerson’s injury-marred year is disappointing, given that he was trending toward the discussion for best guard in the league. However, after a slow start, Dickerson did manage to rip off eight consecutive games with positive results. Then he tweaked his calf on Monday night.

Dickerson and arguably the league’s best right tackle, Lane Johnson, both missed practice Thursday. The Raiders terrify no one but are a middling team in yards per play allowed, and the managers who spent early-round picks on Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts, or DeVonta Smith might face tough decisions if their squads carry depth into the fantasy playoffs.

Below I’ll dive into offensive line continuity changes across the league.

Who’s losing and returning fixtures on the starting OL?

Three offensive lines gained continuity last week, while four units lost continuity heading into their games.

How Much Can Mahomes Really Overcome? Offensive Lines and Their Fantasy Impacts, Week 14

Thomas Emerick December 6, 2025

Kansas City is on critical mass alert for injuries on the offensive line. That light flickered in the Super Bowl against Tampa Bay. It was less so injuries versus Philly last year and more quality of tackle play, which Josh Simmons had shored up earlier this season. However, the star rookie’s season went sideways, and he’s now on IR. Two KC stalwarts are doubtful for…...

The Lane Johnson Effect: Offensive Lines and Their Fantasy Impacts, Week 13

Thomas Emerick November 27, 2025

The famous Lane Johnson splits are part of weekly fantasy decisions once again. This tertiary but not insignificant factor was put to the test during the Eagles’ collapse in Dallas without the future Hall of Famer, even if Philly’s full game EPA landed about halfway between the In and Out splits on the season leading up to the game. They had an EPA per play…...

The Raiders’ Offensive Line Collapse Just Made Ashton Jeanty Almost Unplayable: Offensive Lines and Their Fantasy Impacts, Week 12

Thomas Emerick November 22, 2025

The Raiders’ offensive line profiled as a sneak-back-to-average unit heading into the season, derailed largely by events involving Kolton Miller and Jackson Powers-Johnson. Miller’s long been one of the league’s underrated elite left tackles, while Powers-Johnson really came along down the stretch in 2024. JPJ’s handling in August and September is still a bit murky as to the why: What were offensive coordinator Chip Kelly and Pete’s son, offensive…...
