Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) could be in danger of missing the team's Week 15 contest against the Arizona Cardinals after he suffered a rib injury in Sunday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. "Woody Marks has done a nice job. He's handled himself very well, taking care of his body. It's hard being an RB in this league. We'll see where Chubb (rib) ends up this week and if he can get back out there for us," head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday. Chubb injured his rib in the second quarter and never returned. The rookie Marks has already taken over Houston's backfield, and he had a career-high 26 rushing attempts in the 20-10 win in KC, going for 68 yards while adding two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks should see another heavy RB1-type workload against Arizona on Sunday, regardless of whether Chubb is active. Chubb hasn't had double-digit carries in a game since Nov. 2.

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson will undergo core-muscle surgery this week that is expected to keep him out for around six weeks, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hendrickson initially was injured in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers and then aggravated his injury two weeks later against the New York Jets. The 31-year-old All-Pro has been out ever since and will now miss the remainder of the 2025 regular season. His injury was not improving despite rest and rehab. Hendrickson was a massive disappointment for fantasy managers who selected him in IDP leagues. The four-time Pro Bowler will finish with only four sacks, 16 tackles (11 solo), and a forced fumble in seven games this year after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons for the Bengals in 2023 and 2024. Cincy will be hoping Hendrickson can return to his pre-injury form in 2026.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) will not be activated from Injured Reserve this week, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. Richardson's status is suddenly worth watching now that starter Daniel Jones is out for the rest of the season after tearing his Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie Riley Leonard (knee) replaced Jones in Week 14, but now he's up in the air to play in Week 15 on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks due to a knee injury. Indy is hoping that Leonard can play, but if he can't, Brett Rypien would be forced into making his first NFL start since 2023 with the Los Angeles Rams. Richardson underwent orbital surgery after a resistance band snapped and hit him in the face before a game back in mid-October. He's in danger of missing the rest of the year.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) is considered day-to-day following his knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Harbaugh called it good news on Mitchell, but his status for a crucial Week 15 divisional contest against the Cincinnati Bengals probably won't be determined until later this week. Before the injury, the 23-year-old carried the ball six times on Sunday for a season-high 76 yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Mitchell has seen his opportunities increase in recent weeks with Justice Hill (neck) on Injured Reserve, but he continues to share change-of-pace duties with Rasheen Ali behind starter Derrick Henry. If Mitchell isn't cleared to play in Week 15, Ali will get additional snaps to spell Henry in a plus matchup against Cincinnati.

The Los Angeles Chargers officially activated running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring) from Injured Reserve and onto the 53-man active roster for Monday night's game against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. Hampton was considered questionable to return from IR. The 22-year-old first-rounder will be active for the first time since fracturing his left ankle back in Week 5. Before getting hurt, Hampton had 66 rushing attempts for 314 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns in his first five NFL games, adding 20 receptions for 136 yards. The North Carolina alum should eventually be the Bolts' lead back, but after his long layoff, the Chargers are expected to go with more of a timeshare between Hampton and Kimani Vidal on Monday night. Hampton will be more of a shaky RB3/flex in fantasy football against a tough Eagles defense in his return to the gridiron.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday that wide receiver Drake London (knee) is day-to-day as the team begins preparations for their contest on Thursday Night Football in Week 15 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. London has not practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain in his knee in Week 11. It sounds as though the 24-year-old wideout is making progress, but on a short week, London could still be on the wrong side of questionable to make his return. He will need to get back on the practice field before Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers still playing for something in Week 15 need to be prepared to be without Atlanta's top wideout for another week. With London sidelined, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has benefited the most, catching 13 of 18 targets the last two weeks for 172 yards.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team needs to get veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins more involved on offense, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. In a tough 27-22 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers to give up a share of first place in the AFC North division, Hopkins was unable to catch his only target on Sunday. The 13 snaps that the 33-year-old veteran played in Week 14 were his lowest snap total since Week 10. Instead, the Ravens leaned more on receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, and tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. It will be hard to trust Harbaugh's word going into Baltimore's Week 15 divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though the matchup is a juicy one. Hopkins hasn't had more than four targets in a game in 2025 and hasn't found the end zone since Week 2.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that doctors examined quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) on Monday and said there are no long-term concerns after he aggravated his dislocated left elbow in the Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to John Keim of ESPN. Daniels has soreness in his elbow, but there is no update yet as to whether the second-year signal-caller will be available to play in Week 15 against the division-rival New York Giants. Quinn said after Sunday's loss that the 24-year-old Daniels could have gone back into the game, but he decided to leave him out in a blowout. It's fair to wonder why the Commanders would even risk playing Daniels while they are well out of playoff contention. Daniels went 9-for-20 passing for 78 yards, no touchdowns, and a pick in his first game since Week 9, adding 16 rushing yards on four carries. Veteran Marcus Mariota would start this weekend if the Commanders decide Daniels needs more time off.

An MRI exam on Monday confirmed that Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 14 shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's tough news for the 35-year-old veteran, who will finish his 13th year in the NFL with 50 receptions on 72 targets for 504 yards and four touchdowns in 13 starts in his second year with the Commanders. Fantasy managers can safely drop Ertz now. Ben Sinnott will be the best bet for most of the targets as the team's top pass-catching TE with Ertz done for the year, although he will be sharing snaps with John Bates and Colson Yankoff. At best, Sinnott will be a low-end TE2 streamer for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in Week 15 when Washington battles the division-rival New York Giants on the road.

The Cincinnati Bengals are releasing wide receiver Jermaine Burton on Monday, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Burton's release comes after he was suspended for Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 14. It's unclear exactly why the Bengals suspended the 24-year-old, but it was most likely a disciplinary measure. The former third-rounder in 2024 out of Alabama came out of college with questions about his maturity, and they have followed him to the NFL. Burton has not played at all in 2025 after catching just four of 14 targets for 107 yards and no touchdowns in 14 games (one start) in 2024 in his first NFL season. He will now head to waivers and will get a fresh start elsewhere.

The Denver Broncos are signing free-agent running back Sincere McCormick to their practice squad on Monday, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. McCormick will give the first-place Broncos some additional depth behind rookie RJ Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, and Tyler Badie with J.K. Dobbins (foot) out for the rest of the regular season. The 25-year-old has not played at all in 2025 but had 183 rushing yards on 39 carries (4.7 yards per tote) in five games (two starts) for the Las Vegas Raiders last year. McCormick was with the Arizona Cardinals' practice squad earlier this year but was cut last week to land back on the open market. McCormick will be a long shot for any fantasy value to close out the 2025 campaign.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins (concussion) experienced concussion-like symptoms on Sunday night and Monday morning and is back in the league's concussion protocol, according to head coach Zac Taylor. Higgins suffered a concussion in the Week 12 loss to the New England Patriots and was held out of the Thanksgiving night win over the Baltimore Ravens in Week 13. The 26-year-old returned on Sunday in the loss to the Buffalo Bills and enjoyed having quarterback Joe Burrow back, as he caught six of a season-high 11 targets for 92 yards and two touchdowns in the 39-34 loss. Higgins had a big game, but he slammed his head on the snowy turf late in the contest and is now in danger of missing the Week 15 divisional rematch with the Ravens. If Higgins misses another game, Andrei Iosivas will be back on the flex map for the start of the fantasy football playoffs in most leagues. Iosivas had just one catch on Thanksgiving with Higgins out, but it was a 29-yard touchdown reception.

Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton said on Monday that he wants to get wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. more involved in the offense, according to Zac Stevens of DNVR Sports. "We got to find more touches on the offensive side of the ball. And we'll do that," Payton said, adding that the coaching staff talked about it in a staff meeting. Mims caught his only target in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, gaining five yards. Although he was barely a factor on offense, Mims still made an impact, returning a punt 48 yards for a touchdown in the first half. The Broncos continue to say that they want to get the 23-year-old big-play threat more involved, but they've failed to do so, as he has only 25 catches for 247 yards and one TD on 35 targets through 14 weeks after he had a 39-503-6 line in 17 regular-season games in 2024. Mims is a threat to score every time he touches the ball, but the volume just has not been there while being behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, and rookie Pat Bryant on the WR depth chart.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard (knee) is dealing with a knee injury that leaves his status for Sunday's game in Seattle against the Seahawks uncertain, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's pretty concerning for a Colts team that unfortunately lost starting QB Daniel Jones in the Week 14 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars with a season-ending torn Achilles tendon. Former first-rounder Anthony Richardson Jr. (eye) remains on Injured Reserve and may not play again this season following orbital surgery, so the Colts are extremely thin at the most important position on the field. Leonard, 23, went 18-for-29 passing for 145 yards with no touchdowns and an interception on Sunday after taking over for Jones, and he added a rushing touchdown on two carries. If Leonard's knee injury keeps him from playing in Seattle, Brett Rypien would be the next man up in Indy under center.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers second-year wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was one of a handful of players, along with Mike Evans and Tristan Wirfs, that head coach Todd Bowles told reporters are in play for Thursday night's divisional game against the Falcons. Still on IR, McMillan returned to practice last week and was able to log a slate of limited participations after suffering multiple fractures in his neck as well as additional ligament damage in a gruesome-looking preseason injury. As a rookie in 2024, McMillan came on strong down the stretch and was a key piece to many fantasy championships. Expecting him to do the same this year is unreasonable, as he will likely slot in as the team's WR4/5 upon his return, but with the Buccaneers fighting for a playoff spot, he could be a cheap DFS play who has already demonstrated huge touchdown upside, coming down with seven touchdown grabs in his final five games last year.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) is reportedly in play to return to action on Thursday night, according to head coach Todd Bowles. Evans was able to return to practice and log a week of limited participation last week after breaking his collarbone and suffering a concussion in a Week 7 loss to the Lions. Tampa Bay hosts the Falcons on Thursday night, and with Evans limited to only four games this year, he sits at 140 receiving yards on the season with only one total touchdown. Unless the Buccaneers force-feed him targets to the tune of 215 yards per game, his impressive streak of 1,000-yard receiving seasons will come to an unceremonious end in Year 12.

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane (ribs) left Sunday's blowout win over the Jets with a rib injury, which may now require additional rest, according to head coach Mike McDaniel. Achane has since had an MRI, and McDaniel told reporters on Monday that his star running back made it very clear that he could have returned to the game despite obvious discomfort. On only seven carries on Sunday, Achane recorded 92 rushing yards and a touchdown, while bringing in his only target for an additional 13 yards. On the season, he has been the overall RB4 in Half-PPR formats, and with one of the most favorable schedules for the fantasy playoffs, he will likely be part of many championship-winning rosters if he isn't forced to miss any time. The Dolphins play the Steelers on Monday night, so fantasy managers won't see an official injury report until Thursday.

An MRI on Monday officially confirmed that Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) has torn his Achilles and will miss the rest of the season. Jones suffered the non-contact injury in the first quarter of a Week 14 loss to the Jaguars and was replaced by 6th-round rookie Riley Leonard. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remains on IR and has not been cleared for football activities after a Week 6 pregame incident with a resistance band fractured his orbital bone, requiring surgery. Heading into Sunday, the only other quarterback in the building was practice squad veteran Brett Rypien, so the team is expected to add additional depth before a Week 15 matchup with the Seahawks. Playing over 75% of the Colts' offensive snaps on Sunday, Leonard threw for 145 yards, zero touchdowns, and an interception, while adding five yards and a rushing touchdown on the ground. With an unenviable schedule against the Seahawks, 49ers, and Jaguars, pass catchers Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman Jr., and Tyler Warren suddenly become less appealing plays for the fantasy playoffs, while Jonathan Taylor will likely be tasked with handling an even larger workload down the stretch.

Dynasty | Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright had 107 rushing yards and a touchdown in a win against the Jets. Dynasty Analysis: Wright took over after De'Von Achane had to leave the game with an injury and immediately showed his immense upside. It's been a frustrating run for Wright, who is just buried on the depth chart behind a superior player. However, we also see a running back who should get a chance at some point to be a starter in the NFL. Wright remains a solid hold in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Jets quarterback Brady Cook completed 14-of-30 passes for 163 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to the Dolphins. Dynasty Analysis: Cook went from the practice squad to the game this week when Tyrod Taylor exited with a groin injury. It was a rough day for the rookie but hardly his fault as he was never expected to play. With Justin Fields nursing a knee injury, he could start next week. Cook could be an add in Superflex leagues if you need a starter but is hardly looking like a long-term asset.
