Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) will not play on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants, according to Tashan Reed of The Washington Post. Veteran Marcus Mariota will make another start this weekend. Daniels aggravated his left (non-throwing) elbow in Sunday's shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings in his first game back since dislocating the same elbow back in Week 9. The Commanders have said that the 24-year-old will play again this year, but with the team out of the playoff picture, it wouldn't be a surprise if they eventually shut him down. The good news is that Daniels' elbow injury won't keep him out long-term. The former second overall pick has had his sophomore season derailed by injuries in 2025, as he also missed several games earlier this year with a knee injury. He has thrown for 1,262 yards, eight touchdowns, and three picks in seven starts while adding 278 rushing yards and two TDs on 58 carries.

Washington Commanders veteran quarterback Marcus Mariota will make his seventh start of the year in Week 15 against the division-rival New York Giants, according to The Washington Post's Tashan Reed. The Commanders have ruled out Jayden Daniels (elbow) after he aggravated his elbow injury in last week's blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Daniels isn't dealing with a long-term injury, but with Washington's season essentially already over, the 32-year-old Mariota could end up starting the rest of the way for the Commanders. Although he doesn't offer a ton of fantasy football upside, Mariota has been pretty serviceable leading the team's offense in place of Daniels this year. He's completed 62.9% of his 194 pass attempts for 1,389 yards, nine TDs, and seven interceptions. Mariota averaged 186.6 passing yards and 30.8 rushing yards per game from Weeks 8-13. Consider him a midrange QB2 option in superflex leagues this weekend versus the G-Men.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Wednesday that rookie quarterback Riley Leonard (knee), who has a Grade 1 PCL sprain, will practice this week, but his status for the Week 15 game on Sunday against the hosting Seattle Seahawks is up in the air, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. "We'll see," Steichen said on Leonard's status. Daniel Jones (Achilles) is done for the year, and Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remains on Injured Reserve, so the Colts went out and signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers to their practice squad this week. If Leonard is unable to play in Seattle this weekend, it's very possible that Rivers will get the start in his first NFL action since the 2020 season. PCL sprains typically sideline players for multiple weeks, so it would be a bit of a surprise if Leonard made the start for Indy in Seattle. Brett Rypien is the only other QB on the Colts' roster at the moment. The 23-year-old Leonard went 18-for-29 passing for 145 yards and an interception while also running in a TD in place of Jones in last week's loss to the Jaguars.

Cleveland Browns rookie running back Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) is not expected to take the practice field on Wednesday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Sampson is dealing with two injuries as the team prepares for a Week 15 matchup against the Chicago Bears. The 21-year-old had a season-high five catches on six targets for 64 yards in the team's loss to the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, and with Jerome Ford (shoulder) now on Injured Reserve, Sampson is going to have a larger change-of-pace role behind rookie starter Quinshon Judkins the rest of the way. Sampson might be questionable to play this weekend, but Ford's injury makes him a waiver-wire consideration this week, at least as a bench stash for the fantasy playoffs in PPR leagues. The fourth-rounder has averaged only 2.6 yards on the ground on 44 rushing attempts in his first 13 NFL games, but he's added 28 catches for 259 yards and two scores through the air.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, rib) is not expected to practice with the team on Wednesday, per Browns Zone's Scott Petrak. With two injuries, Tillman should be considered questionable to take the field this Sunday to take on the Chicago Bears. The 25-year-old will need to clear the league's concussion protocol later this week in order to get the green light to play this weekend. He played 64% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans and caught one of his three targets for 23 yards. Even if Tillman gains clearance later this week, fantasy managers won't be in a hurry to throw him into their starting lineups, especially with the playoffs starting in most leagues. Tillman hasn't had more than one catch in a game since Nov. 16 against the Ravens, and he's caught only 18 passes for 197 yards and two touchdowns in nine games in 2025. If Tillman doesn't play in Week 15, rookie Isaiah Bond would become a more attractive big-play option in deeper leagues.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that tight end Cade Otton (knee) is doubtful to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Otton missed practice on Monday and Tuesday but was seen on the practice field on Wednesday. Apparently, it wasn't enough to convince the coaching staff that he's ready to play on a short week. The good news for Tampa is that they could be getting both receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) back in Week 15. Fantasy managers who had the 26-year-old Otton in their starting lineups need to move him to the bench this week. Payne Durham should be the Bucs' top pass-catching option at TE on Thursday, but fantasy managers should have better streaming options available. Durham has one catch for 11 yards in 13 games this year and 17 receptions for 184 yards and two touchdowns in 42 career games.

Arizona Cardinals running back Trey Benson (knee) will not be activated off Injured Reserve for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Since Benson will not return within his 21-day activation window, he will revert to season-ending IR and will not be eligible to return in 2025. Benson suffered a knee injury in Week 4 that was serious enough to land him on IR, but was not thought at the time to be season-ending. It's unclear whether the 23-year-old suffered a setback once his activation window was opened, or if the 3-10 Cardinals are simply choosing to be cautious with their potential running back of the future. Either way, Benson should now be completely off the radar of redraft fantasy managers for the remainder of 2025. His absence ups the value of Cardinals running backs Bam Knight and Michael Carter, who should continue to see the majority of the team's backfield snaps. Emari Demercado (ankle) could play a role in Arizona as well once he returns from the ankle injury that has sidelined him since Week 11.

Cleveland Browns tight end David Njoku (knee) is not expected to practice on Wednesday, according to Scott Petrak of Browns Zone. Njoku caught a touchdown pass in Sunday's loss to the Tennessee Titans, but he suffered a knee injury on the play and is now questionable to suit up for a Week 15 contest against the Chicago Bears this Sunday. The 29-year-old does have two more days to return to practice, but as of now, fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting to have him available this weekend. Rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr., who leads the Browns in all receiving categories this year, would be in line for even more targets in Cleveland's passing attack if Njoku is unable to get clearance to play against Chicago. Even if Njoku returns to practice later this week, Fannin should be on the TE1 map in fantasy football.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles said that wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) has "shown everything he needed to show in practice" to be activated off Injured Reserve for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday, per Greg Auman of Fox Sports. All indications are pointing to Evans making his return on Thursday night from a broken collarbone that has sidelined him since Week 7. Across the four games he's been active for this season, the 32-year-old has hauled in 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets. Given the long injury layoff, Tampa Bay could choose to work him back in slowly and limit his snap share in Week 15. Still, Evans could immediately slot in as the Buccaneers' top pass-catcher alongside wide receivers Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin. If active, Evans profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 in Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) practiced for the third straight day on Wednesday, according to Pewter Report. McMillan has been on Injured Reserve for the entirety of 2025 after suffering a neck injury in the preseason, but it appears he could be trending towards making his return in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Upon his return, McMillan will be part of a crowded Tampa Bay wide receiver room that includes Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin, and Tez Johnson, and could be getting Mike Evans (collarbone) back in Week 15 as well. McMillan was productive as a rookie in 2024, hauling in 37 catches for 461 yards and eight touchdowns on 58 targets across 13 games. However, the target competition and long injury layoff could lead to a slow reintegration period for the 24-year-old once activated off Injured Reserve. McMillan is a player to monitor for deep-league managers, but should likely be avoided if activated for Week 15.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) was back on the practice field on Wednesday after being listed as a non-participant on both Monday and Tuesday, per Matt Matera of Pewter Report. Otton's status for Tampa Bay's Week 15 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night is still in question, but his presence at practice on Wednesday may mean he's going to give it a go. If Otton is unable to play, Payne Durham would likely take over as Tampa Bay's TE1 against Atlanta. Otton's production has tailed off in recent weeks, as he's failed to record more than four catches or 28 receiving yards in a game since Week 10. Otton's role may diminish even further if Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) can return from a collarbone injury that's kept him out of the lineup since Week 7. Given the injury and role uncertainty, fantasy managers should likely avoid Otton in Week 15.

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. was dominant in Week 14 against the Tennessee Titans, hauling in eight of his 11 targets for 114 yards and a touchdown. Fannin has now scored in back-to-back games and continues to look like a draft-day steal for the Browns. The rookie third-rounder leads Cleveland in all receiving categories this season, collecting 59 catches for 619 yards and four touchdowns on 85 targets, and ranks as the TE11 in PPR points per game (11.1). Fannin has established a solid connection with fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders in his three starts, with Fannin clearing 50 receiving yards for the first time since Week 8. The rookie tight end's fantasy value is on the rise, and he is firmly in the TE1 mix heading into Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.

The Indianapolis Colts have signed quarterback Brett Rypien to the active 53-man roster from the practice squad, according to the team's official website. Rypien joined the Colts' practice squad in Week 7 after third-year quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) was placed on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old signal-caller was in line to be the Colts' starter after Daniel Jones (Achilles) suffered a season-ending torn Achilles and rookie Riley Leonard (knee) suffered a Grade 1 PCL sprain in Week 14. However, the Colts signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers out of retirement on Tuesday, and he is expected to start for the Colts as soon as this Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Rypien will likely serve as a backup behind Rivers or Leonard (if he is healthy enough to play in Week 15). If the journeyman signal-caller does wind up starting, Rypien would only be worth fantasy consideration in deep superflex and two-QB leagues.

Across his last five games played, New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has recorded 320 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 67 touches. The 28-year-old has earned at least 11 touches in every game since Giants running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 9. Singletary also logged at least 12 carries in each of his last three outings before New York's Week 14 bye. The Giants have split backfield work between Singletary and Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) since Skattebo went down. Tracy Jr. suffered a hip injury in Week 13 that he has said is minor, but it could still lead the Giants to funnel more touches to the veteran Singletary down the stretch of the season. Singletary could have flex appeal for fantasy managers in Week 15 against the Washington Commanders and beyond.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) practiced on Wednesday, per Matt Matera of Pewter Report. The 32-year-old has been on the practice field for three straight days now and could be trending towards making his return in Week 15 against the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday night. Evans has been on Injured Reserve since suffering a broken collarbone in Week 7. Across four games this season, he's hauled in 14 receptions for 140 yards and a touchdown on 32 targets. While Tampa Bay has other capable wideouts in Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, Evans should re-assume the team's WR1 role once he's fully re-integrated into the offense. Still, fantasy managers could be wise to temper expectations for Evans immediately upon his return. If he's active in Week 15, Evans profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2 against Atlanta.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Jerry Jeudy has struggled to be efficient for most of the 2025 season, recording 38 catches for 497 yards and two touchdowns on 85 targets across 13 games. However, Cleveland's recent quarterback switch from Dillon Gabriel to Shedeur Sanders could prove to be a boost for Jeudy's production. In Cleveland's Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, Jeudy recorded three catches for 76 yards and a touchdown on five targets. Sanders threw for 364 passing yards in the game, which was the first time a Cleveland quarterback had reached even 250 passing yards since Joe Flacco did it in Week 1. If Sanders is truly raising the ceiling of the Browns' offense, Juedy could be in line for a strong close to the season. He profiles as a low-end fantasy WR3 in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.

Miami Dolphins running back Jaylen Wright recorded his first career 100-yard game in the Week 14 win over the New York Jets, handling 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown. Wright dominated the touches in Miami's backfield after De'Von Achane (ribs) left in the second quarter due to a rib injury. Entering Week 14, the 22-year-old running back had only played 37 snaps with 18 carries in five games this season, but he leapfrogged rookie Ollie Gordon II against the Jets. With Achane going out, the second-year back played 37 snaps and set a career high with 24 carries. Head coach Mike McDaniel said Achane could have returned to the game, but he also said Monday that Achane may require additional rest. With Achane's status for Week 15 against the Pittsburgh Steelers in question, Wright could be in line for another workhorse-type role. He'd profile as a plug-and-play RB2 in Week 15 if Achane is ruled out.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie first-round running back Omarion Hampton returned in Week 14 against the Philadelphia Eagles and looked healthy, recording 13 carries for 56 yards to go with two receptions (two targets) for 11 yards and his first career receiving touchdown on Monday night. Hampton played firmly behind Kimani Vidal in his first game back since suffering a fractured ankle in Week 5, with Vidal playing 68.9% of the snaps to Hampton's 31.1%, but the split in touches was pretty much even. The rookie first-rounder's workload should gradually increase in the coming weeks now that he's fully healthy, though Vidal will maintain a role with how well he performed in Hampton's absence. Hampton is now averaging 15.3 PPR points per game in six games this season and will profile as a high-upside RB2 in a Week 15 divisional matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had his best game of the season in the Week 14 loss to the Tennessee Titans, completing 23 of 42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding three carries for 29 yards and another score on the ground. The rookie fifth-rounder is one of three players this season to record at least 300 passing yards with three passing touchdowns and a rushing score in the same game, joining Dak Prescott and Josh Allen. Sanders' standout performance led to head coach Kevin Stefanski announcing him as Cleveland's starting QB for the rest of the season. Sanders and the Browns nearly pulled off the comeback against the Titans, but came up short on a two-point conversion to tie the game. The 23-year-old has flashed his fantasy upside in his three starts, but will face a challenge in Week 15 in severe weather conditions against a Chicago Bears defense that leads the league with 27 takeaways this season.

Los Angeles Rams second-year running back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, dominated once again in Week 14, rushing for 128 yards on 12 carries (10.7 yards per carry) and two touchdowns in the Rams' 45-17 rout over the Arizona Cardinals. Corum is one of, if not the best, fantasy football handcuff right now and is a must-add off the waiver wire if available in your leagues. The Rams' offense ranks fourth in the NFL, averaging 29.2 points per game, and Kyren Williams, the Rams' lead running back, has also been solid in 2025 but has lately been giving way to Corum to help keep him fresh for the NFL playoffs. Still, Rams coaches have expressed interest in keeping both involved, and Corum is no joke, averaging 5.45 YPC on the season. Corum remains an RB3/Flex consideration in leagues with multiple flex spots or 14 teams or more. On the season, Corum has rushed for 550 yards on 101 attempts with four touchdowns. Up next for the Rams is a big NFC clash against the Detroit Lions.
