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.

Dynasty | Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson completed 19-of-35 passes for 219 yards with one touchdown and one interception in a loss to the Steelers. Dynasty Analysis: Jackson has simply not looked like an MVP this year as the Ravens now sit at 6-7 and are in clear danger of missing the playoffs. He did add 43 yards and a score on the ground but he needs to be better as we move into the fantasy playoff run. Jackson will be a QB1 next week but not an elite option and his ADP and dynasty value are starting to show some cracks.

Dynasty | Saints running back Devin Neal had 70 rushing yards, one catch, 14 receiving yards, and scored a touchdown in an upset win over the Bucs. Dynasty Analysis: Neal simply looked better than the injured Alvin Kamara has all season and helped New Orleans pull off one of the year's biggest upsets in the process. Neal's performance will likely keep Kamara on the sidelines a bit longer as the Saints will want to see what they have in him. His ADP and ranking will certainly be on the rise after he showed he can be capable of starting in the league.

Dynasty | Colts quarterback Daniel Jones has a torn Achilles and will be lost for the season. Dynasty Analysis: The Colts were already starting to fade and this will be a devastating blow to their playoff chances. Indianapolis was once looking like the top seed for the playoffs but have now fallen to 8-5 and are in danger of missing the playoffs altogether now. As for Jones, he'll re-enter free agency this off-season and his chance of a huge payday just went up in smoke. His ADP and ranking will slide now as he likely won't be ready for the beginning of next season and his future is in serious doubt.

Dynasty | Titans running back Tony Pollard had 161 rushing yards and two touchdowns in a win against Cleveland. Dynasty Analysis: Pollard has been relatively quiet all season as the Titans have struggled mightily. A date with the Browns somehow changed that as he routinely made big plays on the day. This will likely go down as his best fantasy day of the season, so anyone who started him has to be thrilled. Pollard's ADP and ranking have fallen all year as he's aged on a bad team and that likely won't step, despite this solid day.

Dynasty | Browns quarterback Shedeur Sanders completed 23-of-42 passes for 364 yards with three touchdowns and one interception while adding 29 rushing yards and another score in a loss to the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: Tennessee made Sanders look like an All-Pro in this one. Still, you have to give Sanders a lot of credit as he posted the best day by far for a Cleveland quarterback this season. He's clearly going to be given the rest of the season to showcase his abilities and it looks like Cleveland may be preparing for a Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders quarterback battle next off-season. Sanders is still overvalued in most dynasty leagues but the gap is closing.

Dynasty | Browns tight end Harold Fannin had eight catches for 114 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Titans. Dynasty Analysis: The Browns are in the middle of yet another lost season but Fannin is hardly the one to blame. The rookie tight end now has a 59/619/4 line on the season and looks like a possible future TE1. His arrow continues to point straight up.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels completed just 9-of-20 passes for 78 yards with one interception in a loss to the Vikings. Dynasty Analysis: He added 16 scoreless yards on the ground. To make matters even worse, he had to leave the game in the third quarter after re-injuring his elbow. The 3-10 Commanders say he could have come back but it's honestly hard to see why he should even play the rest of the way. Daniels' dynasty value has taken a hit this year as concerns about his durability have seemed to come back.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy completed 16-of-23 passes for 163 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in a blowout win against Washington. Dynasty Analysis: And with that, there's hope. McCarthy was efficient in this one and while his yards per attempt are that of a game manager and the fact he simply cannot find Justin Jefferson is troublesome, McCarthy at least looked capable this week. He'll need to string together more good performances to avoid Minnesota looking for competition next season if it's not already too late. McCarthy's ADP plunge will at least pause for a week.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold completed 20-of-30 passes for 249 yards with three touchdowns and one interception in a win against Atlanta. Dynasty Analysis: And yet again, Darnold feasted on a bad team. This is the narrative so far again this year for Danold, who has looked amazing when the lights aren't bright and awful when they are. It's a concern in reality but his fantasy season has been anything but a disaster. He should be solid again next week as he'll take on a Daniel Jones-less Colts squad. Darnold's value is pretty static at the moment.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed 15-of-30 passes for 162 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions in a loss to Seattle. Dynasty Analysis: In parts of five games this season, Cousins has thrown for 845 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions, looking nothing like his old self and everything like a backup quarterback in the NFL. At this point, dynasty managers not in a Superflex league need to move on as his value is near zero.

From Dynasty League Fantasy

Dynasty | Raiders rookie running back Ashton Jeanty had 30 rushing yards, two catches and eight receiving yards in a loss to the Broncos. Dynasty Analysis: As the fantasy playoffs arrive, Jeanty is borderline unplayable. It's been an amazing run of total ineptitude in Las Vegas as Jeanty has essentially endured a lost season. This just doesn't seem like a "Trent Richardson" situation where a "can't miss" running backs busts, but Jeanty now has just 665 rushing yards and four touchdowns on an anemic 3.5 yards per carry. Jeanty's grasp on his elite-level dynasty ranking has slipped through his fingers this year.

Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said on 105.3 The Fan on Monday that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is "doing a good job" after suffering a concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the Detroit Lions, according to Jon Machota of The Athletic. "He's meeting all the thresholds that you need to meet that will get him to where he can play this week. So far, he's had no setbacks," Jones added. The 26-year-old had six catches on eight targets for a season-high 121 yards before getting hurt, but it remains to be seen whether he'll actually be cleared from the NFL's concussion protocol in time to play on Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Lamb is headed in the right direction, but fantasy managers will want to keep a close eye on his progress this week. Ryan Flournoy, who had nine catches, 115 yards and a TD last week, would be in play as an upside flex against Minnesota if Lamb is not cleared.
