Denver Broncos wide receiver Tim Patrick scored two touchdowns in the Week 14 win over the Panthers and has three scores in the last two games. Although rookie Jerry Jeudy has more upside in the long term, Patrick has been Denver’s most consistent wideout in 2020, catching 43 passes for 643 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games. He’s not seeing a ton of targets

Denver Broncos running back Royce Freeman could be thrust into a larger workload for Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday if one of Melvin Gordon III (shoulder) or Phillip Lindsay (knee), who are both questionable, are limited or ruled out. However, both Gordon and Lindsay got in limited practices this week and should be able to suit up, which would leave Freeman with scraps

Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay (hip) was limited in practice all week and is questionable for Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday. The fact that he practiced all week means he should be expected to play. Lindsay has missed some games due to injury this year and just hasn’t been effective of late despite sharing the backfield carries with Melvin Gordon III. Lindsay

Denver Broncos running back Melvin Gordon III (shoulder) was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday and is questionable for Week 15 against the Bills on Saturday. Despite the questionable tag, Gordon is expected to play. He’s still sharing carries with Phillip Lindsay almost evenly, but the former Charger has been the more effective ball-carrier despite not finding the end zone since Week 11 against

Denver Broncos quarterback Drew Lock is coming off his best game, a Week 14 performance against the Panthers in which he went 21-for-27 for 280 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions. It broke a string of seven straight weeks with an interception, but Lock did lose a fumble in the game. It was a much-needed bounce-back game from the second-year quarterback, and he’ll need some

Miami Dolphins tight end Mike Gesicki (shoulder) returned to a limited practice on Thursday after sitting out on Wednesday. Gesicki now has at least a chance to suit up in Week 15 against the Patriots. New England isn’t the best matchup for tight ends — they’ve allowed the third-fewest fantasy points per game to the position this year — but Gesicki will be in the

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that wide receiver John Brown (ankle) will not play in Week 15 against the Broncos on Saturday. Brown remains on Injured Reserve. The 30-year-old still has a chance to return before the end of the regular season, though. Stefon Diggs and Cole Beasley will remain Buffalo’s top two pass-catchers, while rookie Gabriel Davis should continue to see more

The New York Giants are placing cornerback James Bradberry on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Thursday, according to sources. One of the top cornerbacks in the league will now miss the Week 15 game against the Browns on Sunday night. The good news is that Bradberry was deemed a high-risk close contact, which should allow him to return next week. However, the G-Men will lose their

Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey (quadriceps, shoulder) is officially listed as doubtful for the Week 15 game against the Packers on Saturday. McCaffrey has played in just three games this year due to injury. You could say he’s been a monumental bust for fantasy managers after he was taken with the first overall pick in most drafts. At this point, with just two games

The New York Giants didn’t practice on Thursday, but quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) was estimated as a limited practice participant. Tight end Kaden Smith (knee) was also added to the injury report and was estimated to get in a limited practice as well. Jones’ status for Sunday night against the Browns is undecided, and it could come down to a game-time decision, making him

Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor said that quarterback Brandon Allen (knee) will not practice on Thursday, giving Ryan Finley the first-team repetitions. Allen was injured in Week 14 against the Cowboys and missed the end of the game. The team is still hopeful that he can play on Monday night against the Steelers, but missing practice early in the week isn’t a great sign.

Washington Football Team rookie running back Antonio Gibson (toe) sat out of practice on Thursday. Head coach Ron Rivera said he’s “very hopeful” that Gibson will return at some point for the stretch run. The club signed Lamar Miller as an “insurance policy.” Gibson suffered a painful turf-toe injury in Week 13 against the Steelers and was forced to sit out last week, so he’s

Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) will sit out of practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he deals with a calf strain that he suffered in the Week 14 win over the 49ers. Washington’s plan all along was to take things slowly with Smith, as the priority is rest over practice repetitions. The good news is the injury isn’t related to

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford (ribs) and center Frank Ragnow (throat) are both out of practice again on Thursday. Stafford is highly questionable for Week 15 against the Titans, but interim head coach Darrell Bevell said on Wednesday that he’d be comfortable with Stafford playing, even if he doesn’t practice all week. The 32-year-old is a long shot to play, but he’s not being ruled

Houston Texans interim head coach Romeo Crennel said that the team won’t shut down quarterback Deshaun Watson for the final three games of the season after the club was eliminated from postseason contention last weekend. Watson is on pace to set career highs in completion percentage (68.9), passing yards per game (289.3), touchdown-to-interception ratio (25-6) and passer rating (109.4). However, he’s also been sacked 39

New York Giants offensive coordinator Jason Garrett tested positive for COVID-19 and will continue to work remotely this week. Tight ends coach Freddie Kitchens will serve as the team’s offensive play-caller in Week 15 against the Browns on Sunday night. Quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) is not expected to play after tweaking his ankle in the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals, so backup Colt

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams (hamstring), who is questionable for Thursday night against the division-rival Raiders, is not expected to play, according to sources. Williams was injured in the Week 14 win over the Falcons and won’t be ready to go on the short week. Keenan Allen (hamstring) will likely be limited if he even plays, which means that Tyron Johnson and Jalen

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen (hamstring) will be a true game-time decision for Thursday night against the division-rival Raiders, according to sources. Allen was sore in the Week 14 win over the Falcons, and the short week hasn’t helped. If Allen does play, he will likely be limited, which would make for a really tough decision for his fantasy managers during the fantasy

Los Angeles Chargers running back Austin Ekeler (quadriceps) is expected to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Raiders. Ekeler has yet to rush for 100 yards in a single game in 2020, but he should be considered a strong RB1 against a Raiders defense that will be missing four starters due to injury on Thursday. They also just fired their defensive coordinator and have

New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (lung, ribs) was designated to return to practice on Wednesday, but head coach Sean Payton said that Brees has “a ways to go” in his recovery from 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung. “He’s got a ways to go still, and he’s someone we’re not gonna just hurry back and just put him in the game,” Payton said.
