Florida tight end Kyle Pitts has declared for the 2021 NFL Draft. In eight games this season, Pitts had 36 receptions for 641 yards and 11 touchdowns. He’s an elite tight end prospect who would instantly shift the fantasy landscape at the position depending on his landing spot in April. His big-play potential makes him arguably a top-five dynasty tight end right from the moment

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle (foot) has a chance to return this season. The 49ers opened Kittle’s 21-day practice window ahead of their Week 15 contest with the Cowboys, though the star tight end won’t suit up this week. While Kittle is likely close to a return, the team is inclined to sit him for the final two games if they have nothing

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is unlikely to play in his team’s final two games following Week 15. Garoppolo, who was placed on the injured reserve with an ankle injury in November, has yet to take the practice field and is already looked at as doubtful for Week 16. It’s been a disappointing season for the 29-year-old, who will be facing some question

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Josh Gordon (suspension) was reinstated earlier this year and is slated to practice next week after working with the strength and conditioning staff on the side. Gordon hasn’t played since the end of last season, though he reportedly looks good and is checking in at 238 pounds with seven percent body fat. He’s likely off the fantasy radar, though his addition

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones (hamstring) still intends to play this season despite missing four games and leaving a few others with a nagging hamstring injury. Jones was ruled out for Week 15 before the weekend and received an injection in his hamstring following the Falcons’ latest contest against the Saints. Despite the injury-filled campaign, the veteran wideout has five games with at least

New England Patriots running back James White (foot) is expected to suit up against the Dolphins in Week 15. With Damien Harris (ankle)already ruled out, White could be looking at more opportunities against Miami, though the veteran back has failed to produce in recent weeks. He’s been held under four receptions in five of his last seven games, making him hard to trust heading into

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham (hip) is expected to play in Week 15 against the Vikings. Graham was listed as questionable but reportedly looked good in practice, despite being downgraded later in the week. While he’s always a threat to secure a red-zone touchdown, the veteran tight end has been jumped on the depth chart by Cole Kmet, who has out-snapped and out-targeted him

Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Marquise Brown (COVID), Miles Boykin (COVID), and James Proche II (COVID) have all been activated off the Reserve/COVID list and are eligible to play against Jacksonville. While the latter two are off the fantasy radar, Brown has come on as of late, catching a touchdown in three straight games and exceeding 50 yards in two out of those three contests. The

New York Giants tight end Evan Engram (knee) is slated to play in Week 15 against the Browns. Engram injured his knee during practice and was only able to get in limited work on Friday. However, he appears to be on the right side of questionable- though his quarterback outlook is looking murky with Colt McCoy expected to make his second start of the season.

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (hamstring) is expected to miss his team’s Week 15 contest against the Browns. Jones was able to practice in a limited fashion, though this seems like a conservative approach by the coaching staff after the second-year pro was perhaps pushed into action a little too quickly last week. Colt McCoy will make his second start of the season after

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott (calf) continues to battle a calf injury as his team prepares to take on the 49ers in Week 15. Elliott has shown up on the injury report over the past several weeks as he continues to gut out hamstring and calf injuries. The All-Pro back has been a disappointment in fantasy, largely due to the Dak Prescott (ankle) injury

Miami Dolphins’ wide receiver DeVante Parker (hamstring) and tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) are trending in the right direction ahead of a Week 15 divisional battle with the Patriots. Parker is likely more of a sure thing, given that Gesicki has improved enough to be more of a game-time call. Both pass-catchers would be even more essential this week, as Miami is down several playmakers

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (ankle) plans to suit up against the Eagles in Week 15. Edmonds will test his ankle in pre-game workouts, though all indications are that the 24-year-old back will be out on the field after upgrading to a limited practice session on Friday. Perhaps of bigger concern for Edmonds is the re-emergence of teammate Kenyan Drake, who has out-touched and

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (thumb, ribs) is expected to suit up in Week 15 against the Titans. Stafford was initially thought to be doubtful at best, though he wasn’t ruled out by the team, given his willingness to play through injuries in the past. The veteran signal-caller will be far from 100 percent against Tennessee’s 29th-ranked pass defense, though he should still be a

Green Bay Packers tight end Robert Tonyan caught three passes for 18 yards and a touchdown in Saturday’s win over the Carolina Panthers. He now has 10 touchdown catches on the season. Tonyan hasn’t been consistently producing yardage, but his ability to find the end zone has kept him on the fantasy radar week after week. He should be a high-end TE2 play with a

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams had seven receptions in Saturday’s win over the Carolina Panthers but finished with just 42 yards and no receptions. It was the second-lowest yardage output of the season for Adams and his first time since Week 6 to not catch a touchdown. It was a letdown for fantasy managers who were hoping for Adams to continue his recent

Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones saw 20 of the 22 carries by Green Bay running backs in Sunday’s win over the Carolina Panthers. With those carries, Jones had 145 yards and a touchdown. He also added three catches for 13 yards. It was a huge night for Jones, who saw his most rushing attempts of the season and responded with his second-best performance.

It was a bit of a quiet night statistically for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers in Saturday’s win over the Carolina Panthers, as he threw for just 143 yards and a touchdown on 20-for-29 passing. Rodgers did add five carries for 26 yards and a score as well. The veteran continues to battle with Patrick Mahomes in the MVP discussion, and a Week 16

Carolina Panthers tight end Ian Thomas hauled in three receptions for 29 yards on four targets in Saturday’s loss to Green Bay. In the past two games, the TE has had three receptions, four targets, and over 20 yards. Nevertheless, those are very modest numbers and the TE has only gotten double-digit yards in three games prior to these past couple of weeks. Given his

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Robby Anderson hauled in two receptions for 21 yards on five targets in Week 15. It was a rather disappointing game for Anderson, who has normally shined each week this season. The WR still had at least seven targets and 46 yards in the three games prior to Week 15, so managers can only hope this was an outlier game. Anderson
