Baltimore Ravens wide receivers Marquise Brown and Miles Boykin (COVID-19 list) have been given the green light to take the field Sunday against Jacksonville after having been placed on the COVID-19/reserve list earlier in the week. The duo had been deemed to be close contacts of the virus, but with tests having come back negative, they’ll join Willie Snead IV and Dez Bryant as favored

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson could be in line to have one of his best games of the year on Sunday against Jacksonville. With the Jaguars Defense struggling this season, the reigning MVP may be the most productive signal-caller in Week 15. Jackson hasn’t done much throwing over the last few weeks but has done some severe damage utilizing the run by racking up 218

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (thigh) has been officially ruled out for Saturday’s contest against the Packers, extending his latest absence to five games. McCaffrey being on the sideline in Week 15 doesn’t come as a surprise as he continues to battle an injury-riddled season, one which he appears determined to return to. Mike Davis will continue to serve as Carolina’s lead back and

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) has not been cleared to return off of injured reserve in time to suit up Sunday against Miami. While it was previously believed that Edelman could miss the remainder of the 2020 year after undergoing knee surgery, the door is at least open for a possible return either against the Bills or Jets over the final two

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (ankle) and wide receiver Donte Moncrief (thigh) have both been ruled out for Sunday’s contest against Miami. The New England backfield continues to take its brunt of injury woes with Sony Michel now in line to lead the group against a stout Dolphins Defense in Week 15. Moncrief’s absence leaves Damiere Byrd, Jakobi Meyers, and N’Keal Harry as

Houston Texans running backs Duke Johnson (neck) and C.J. Prosise (ankle) will both be absent from Sunday’s game versus the Colts. Their absence leaves the Houston backfield extremely thin, but also paves the way for David Johnson to serve as the unabated bell cow. While Duke Johnson has retained a modest role even with David back in the fold, neither Duke nor Prosise merits much

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver/kick returner Byron Pringle (ankle) has been activated off of injured reserve, which paves the way for a potential return to action as soon as Sunday versus the Saints. Pringle’s value lies primarily in his kick returning expertise, which benefits the Chiefs Defense/special teams group more than his individual value as a wide receiver. With that said, upon his activation, he’ll

Denver Broncos running backs Melvin Gordon III (shoulder) and Phillip Lindsay (hip) have both been given the green light to suit up for Saturday’s contest against Buffalo. The duo entered the contest questionable to play, although Lindsay’s status had been more up in the air. With both active, neither gets a distinct advantage of having the backfield to themselves, with Gordon set to act as

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas (ankle) has been placed on injured reserve due to an ankle ailment, and therefore will miss the remainder of the 2020 regular season. Thomas’ season has been riddled by myriad injuries, with his latest development forcing his year to end with just seven regular-season appearances. Fortunately, New Orleans’ playoff positioning should give Thomas the opportunity to return for

Pittsburgh Steelers running back James Conner (quad) is officially listed as questionable heading into his team’s Week 15 game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. Conner did not practice on Thursday and got in a limited session on Friday ahead of the Monday night tilt against their AFC North rivals. If Conner does not end up playing, Benny Snell Jr. should get the majority

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Brandon Allen (knee) has been ruled out of Week 15’s matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Allen left his Week 14 game early after injuring his knee. He did not practice all week and will be replaced at the quarterback position by Ryan Finley. While Allen has not been an effective fantasy quarterback this season, Finley shapes up as an even worse option

The Colts Defense has been good for most of the season other than a couple bad performances and should be considered a solid starting option this week against the Texans. They were dominant last week against the Raiders and held the Texans to just 20 points in Week 13. They have tallied 15 interceptions on the season and have held opposing quarterbacks to a passer

Indianapolis Colts tight end Trey Burton has struggled with consistency all season and was held without a target last week against the Raiders. Burton has shown he is able to string together solid performances this season but sometimes becomes absent in the games following. In a Week 13 contest against the Texans, Burton was held to just one reception on three targets for 11 yards.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Zach Pascal is mostly off the fantasy radar and should not be started against the Texans. Pascal has just one catch in each of his last three games, one of those games being against the Texans in Week 13. He has not gone for over 60 receiving yards in any game this season and has not caught a touchdown since Week

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) is preparing to take the field Sunday against Tennessee despite injuries to his ribs that many believed would keep him sidelined. Stafford has already played through what has been reported as a serious thumb injury on his throwing hand, so to say that he’s at less than 100 percent entering his Week 15 matchup would be an understatement. Without

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins faces a daunting matchup Sunday against a stout Saints secondary. With that in mind, his low DFS price tag gives him some terrific upside, which exists perpetually with Patrick Mahomes under center. While Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce will likely continue to see a favorable number of targets (and a sizable roster percentage), Watkins has hauled in multiple

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. had disappointed over the last few weeks, making him a borderline flex option in Week 15 against the Texans. He is averaging just three catches for about 38 yards over his last few games after posting some solid performances in the weeks prior to that. Pittman had a mediocre performance against the Texans Defense in Week 13, posting

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against Arizona, as he has not yet passed the league’s concussion protocol. Slay will not travel with the team for the game, leaving an enormous void in the secondary, significantly hampering the Eagles Defense appeal, while also heightening that of DeAndre Hopkins. Slay has compiled 55 combined tackles and five passes defended

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver T.Y. Hilton has been very good over the last three games, making him a WR2 option in Week 15 against the Texans. Over the last three games, Hilton has 17 catches on 23 targets for 277 yards and four touchdowns. The Texans Defense is middle of the pack against opposing wide receivers, but Hilton has found success against them over his

Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams has become firmly entrenched as the spell back to Aaron Jones, and should continue to reprise that role Saturday against the Panthers. Unfortunately, he has now played fewer than 50 percent of the team’s offensive snaps in three consecutive weeks, severely capping his season-long intrigue. During the playoff run, fantasy managers likely have more consistent options available on
