Washington Football Team quarterback Alex Smith (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. Smith suffered a minor calf strain in the Week 14 win over the 49ers, but he still has a chance to play in Week 15 against the Seahawks, but he needs rest and not repetitions. Washington remains optimistic that the 36-year-old veteran can play this Sunday as long as he doesn’t suffer any

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will try and beat the Bears again when the two teams lock horns in Week 15. Cousins passed for 292 yards and two touchdowns against them in Week 10 and has 15 touchdowns over his last six games. The Bears Defense bounced back last week and overall has allowed the ninth fewest fantasy points against opposing quarterbacks. Cousins was on

Minnesota Vikings running back Dalvin Cook will try and keep up his fantastic season against a tough Bears Defense in Week 15. Cook posted his seventh 100-yard game of the season last week and will take on a Bears defense that is allowing the eighth fewest fantasy points to opposing running backs. Cook posted 112 total yards against them in Week 10 and will try

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Gallup makes for a risky option in Week 15 fantasy lineups. Gallup has had some big weeks this season that have shown his upside, but he’s scored just two touchdowns all year, catching 46 passes for a total of 647 yards. He’s fine in best ball formats, but has no business in most fantasy starting lineups, especially in the second

Minnesota Vikings tight end Irv Smith Jr. will have a favorable matchup in Week 15 against a Bears Defense that is allowing the fourth most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. The 22-year-old has three touchdowns over his last three games and enjoyed one of his more active efforts last week with four catches for 63 yards, including one of those scores. The Bears have

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen will try and add to his total of 12 touchdowns in Week 15 against the Bears. Thielen was held to only 39 yards last week but scored two touchdowns against Chicago in Week 10. The Bears Defense is allowing the third fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers this season but have been carved up in recent weeks by the

Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver CeeDee Lamb only saw two targets last week, but looks like a better option this week despite a tougher matchup. Lamb simply wasn’t needed in the easy win over the Bengals, but he will be needed much more against the 49ers in Week 15. Lamb’s upside is limited by the Cowboys offense in general, but he should still be a

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson will try and get back to making explosive plays after posting only 39 yards in Week 14. The dynamic rookie will take on a Bears Defense that is allowing the third fewest fantasy points to opposing receivers but Jefferson cut them up for eight catches and 135 yards in Week 10. The Bears secondary got back on track against

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Amari Cooper will look to stay consistent in Week 15. Cooper has scored a touchdown in three straight games, finishing as a WR1 once and a WR2 twice. Despite the turmoil on the Cowboys offense, Cooper has stayed consistent and will look to keep that up against a tough 49ers Defense. Cooper seems to have developed chemistry with quarterback Andy Dalton

Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson II will go up against a Vikings Defense that is allowing the third most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season. Minnesota has allowed a whopping 20 touchdowns to wide receivers this season and 23 different receivers have posted at least nine fantasy points against them. Robinson caught six passes for only 43 yards in Week 10 against them

Dallas Cowboys running back Tony Pollard saw an increased role in Week 14 and may get that uptick in chances again in Week 15. Pollard has run behind starter Ezekiel Elliott all season, but with Elliott dealing with a calf injury, Pollard ended up with only one touch less than the starter in Week 14. Pollard has occasionally looked explosive while Elliott has struggled, leading

Chicago Bears tight end Jimmy Graham will face a Vikings Defense that is allowing the 16th fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. The veteran has 42 receptions for 357 yards and six touchdowns this season but was held without a catch against the Vikings in Week 10. Graham picked up a score last week but has only 55 receiving yards over his

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott will be limited in practice this week due to his calf injury, but he is fully expected to play. Coach Mike McCarthy said that “Zeke” did not suffer any setbacks in the Week 14 win over the Bengals. Elliott split work with Tony Pollard then and might do the same again in Week 15 though. Elliott hasn’t scored a

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet will take on a Vikings Defense that is allowing the 16th fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. The rookie has finally begun to become a piece in a rejuvenated Bears offense and has racked up 14 targets over his last two games. Kmet has nine receptions for 78 yards to show for it and will face a Vikings

Chicago Bears running back David Montgomery will try and stay hot when he suits up against the Vikings in Week 15. Montgomery is on the best roll of his season, posting 409 all-purpose yards with four touchdowns over his last three games. He will go up against a Vikings Defense that is allowing the 13th fewest fantasy points to opposing backs this season. Minnesota have

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Andy Dalton has been decent enough in leading the Dallas offense, but they will face a tougher challenge in Week 15 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers limit opposing quarterbacks to well below their average fantasy scores, and with the Cowboys offense already limiting themselves, this all makes for a bad matchup in the second week of the fantasy playoffs. Dalton

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky will attempt to continue his solid play this week in a must-win game against the Vikings. Since being re-inserted into the starting lineup, Trubisky has delivered decent fantasy totals with 776 yards and seven touchdowns over his last three games. He will take on a Vikings team in Week 15 that is allowing the 14th fewest fantasy points to opposing

Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow (throat) suffered a fractured throat in the first quarter of last week’s game, according to a source. Ragnow somehow finished the game but didn’t practice on Wednesday and could miss the Week 15 game against the Titans. He’s played the most snaps at center in the league this season and is a potential Pro Bowler, so it would be a

Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer was non-committal on whether kicker Dan Bailey will start in Week 15 against the Bears. Bailey has made two of his six field-goal attempts and one of his four extra points in the last two weeks. Minnesota cut practice-squad kicker Tristan Vizcaino on Tuesday, but they have worked out Chandler Catanzaro and Taylor Bertolet. It was especially bad for

New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones (ankle, hamstring) sprained his ankle in the second quarter of the Week 14 loss to the Cardinals, according to a source. Jones’ status is now in doubt for Week 15 against the Browns on Sunday night. The second-year signal-caller was already a shaky low-end QB2 for fantasy managers coming off an abysmal performance last week in which he completed
