Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has been marginally better lately, avoiding costly turnovers and letting his running back and defense carry his team to four straight wins. His numbers have been not impressive even during his team's winning streak. He has attempted under 25 passes in every one of those games with 15 or fewer completions and under 175 passing yards in each game. He only has three passing touchdowns in those four wins as well with only one total touchdown in his last three games. He may have to do more this week against Pittsburgh, but he'll likely continue to rely on short "dink and dunk" passing, which limits his potential. He's the No. 27 QB in RotoBaller's rankings this week, meaning he is not a strong starting option in almost any format.

Minnesota Vikings running back Ty Chandler (knee) won't come off Injured Reserve this week and has been ruled out for Sunday night's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Chandler hasn't played since injuring his knee back in Week 1's win over the Chicago Bears. The 27-year-old had his practice window opened ahead of Week 13 against the Seattle Seahawks, but the team has still determined that he is not ready to return for game action. Chandler was a full participant in practice this week, so it seems he is getting close. He will need to be activated by next week, or he will revert to Injured Reserve and miss the remainder of the season. If he can return, Chandler will contribute primarily on special teams while serving as the RB3 behind Aaron Jones Sr. and Jordan Mason.

The Los Angeles Rams activated wide receiver Tutu Atwell (hamstring) off Injured Reserve, and he will play on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Atwell will make his return in Week 15 after missing six games due to a hamstring injury. The 26-year-old wideout wasn't a significant piece of the Rams offense before getting injured, playing 38% of the offensive snaps and catching four of his nine targets for 164 yards and a touchdown in six games. The speedy wideout will likely slot back in as the team's No. 2 wide receiver behind Puka Nacua and Davante Adams on Sunday against Detroit. Atwell projects as a deep league flex option at best in his first game back in Week 15.

Green Bay Packers running back MarShawn Lloyd (calf) has been on Injured Reserve the entire season with a calf injury, and he is now dealing with a hamstring injury, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. It was reported on Friday that the second-year back will not be activated from Injured Reserve this week. A hamstring injury has been an ongoing issue since training camp for Lloyd, but it wasn't listed when he was designated to return. Lloyd now just has one week of practice eligibility left before he must be activated, or he will be out for the rest of the season. The 2024 third-rounder has been devastated by injury since entering the league, playing in only one game since entering the league last year. If Josh Jacobs (knee) is unable to play in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos, it will likely be Emanuel Wilson (illness) leading the way with Chris Brooks as the backup, though Wilson was also added to the injury report on Saturday with an illness.

The Seattle Seahawks and tight end Eric Saubert have agreed to a one-year contract extension, per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz. Saubert was designated to return from Injured Reserve this week after missing six games due to a calf injury. The 31-year-old tight end signed with the Seahawks during the offseason and is most known for his ability to do the dirty work as a blocker and as a contributor on special teams. He has just one catch for 12 yards while playing 34.1% of the offensive snaps this season in seven games, and is now under contract with Seattle through the end of the 2026 season.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) has been added back to the Week 15 injury report and is now listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans due to a back injury, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. It's a concerning sign to see the superstar back be added to the Week 15 injury report this late in the week, so his status needs to be monitored up until gametime on Sunday. McCaffrey has handled the biggest workload in the league this season with 322 touches in 13 games and has arguably been the best player in fantasy football. Fantasy managers should rush to pick up Brian Robinson Jr. if he is available, as he would be in line for a workhorse role on Sunday in a solid matchup against the Titans if McCaffrey ends up being ruled out.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Treylon Burks saw his playing time crater in Week 14's game against the Minnesota Vikings with the return of Noah Brown from Injured Reserve. The former 2022 first-round pick played a season-high 65.9% of the snaps in Week 13 against the Broncos, recording one catch for five yards and a touchdown on four targets. With Brown back in the lineup for the first time since Week 2, Burks only drew one target, and his snap share slid to 34.7% against the Vikings last week, ranking fourth among Washington's receivers. The 25-year-old will likely be limited to a depth role again on Sunday against the division-rival New York Giants. Burks hasn't shown enough in his first games in Washington to be considered as a fantasy option just yet, and that probably won't change before the year is over.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid has topped a 50% snap share only three times this season, and only once since Week 4, and yet he continues to be one of this season's most reliable tight end options. Even while missing four games over the course of the year, his five touchdown catches tie him for 6th at the position, as he has clearly become one of Josh Allen's most trusted redzone targets. In Week 15, the Bills face a Patriots defense that has allowed almost a full point above expectation to the tight end position and saw Kincaid gather all six of his targets for 108 yards when these teams last met in Week 5. Kincaid is RotoBaller's TE6 for the first round of the fantasy playoffs, and should be the Bills' most valuable pass catcher even if his snap count leaves something to be desired.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. enjoyed an early-season stretch that saw him finish as a top 20 fantasy wideout in two of four weeks, topping out at WR8 in a Week 4 win over the Bengals. Over the past seven weeks, though, he has been a non-factor for fantasy, missing time with a concussion, and seeing little involvement since returning in Week 13. Heading into the first round of the fantasy playoffs, he no longer needs to be rostered, and he projects as RotoBaller's WR70 in a Week 15 matchup with a Packers defense that has been top-10 for most of the season at limiting opposing fantasy wide receivers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) faces the 31st-ranked pass defense of the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 15 divisional matchup that features the second-highest over/under of the week. While there may be some temptation to find as many pieces as possible from this game, Bateman carries a questionable tag into Sunday after logging a limited practice on Thursday and missing Friday's session entirely. Even without questions concerning his ankle, the Bengals have been most susceptible to tight ends, suggesting that Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are the most likely benefactors of the plus matchup, while Bateman has finished outside the top 35 wide receivers in all but one game this season. Bateman is RotoBaller's WR74 for the week and should not be in consideration for the fantasy playoffs.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints running back Evan Hull was a popular waiver add heading into Week 15 following reports of an abdomen issue for rookie Devin Neal (abdomen). Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) has already been ruled out for Sunday, and Neal began the week with limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday. However, Neal was able to return to full participation on Friday and should resume the bellcow role he's carried in each of the last two games. Hull, who has handled a total of nine carries across the previous two games, is no longer worth rostering, and fantasy managers in the playoffs can comfortably drop him to free up the bench spot.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos tight end Evan Engram will be a tough start in Week 15 as they host the Green Bay Packers. Engram hasn't been able to provide much help to fantasy managers this season as he's had two games over 10 fantasy points in half-ppr formats in 2025, both ending in back-half TE1 finishes. Broncos tight end Adam Trautman has actually gotten the dominant snap shares for most of the season, although Engram has seen 61 targets to Trautman's 18. Shockingly, they both have the same number of touchdowns at one apiece. With Engram being a weekly dart throw at the tight end position, there are several safer options to choose from as RotoBaller ranks him at TE25 overall for Week 15.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz will look to get scoring opportunities against another difficult defensive matchup this week in the Green Bay Packers. The Packers rank sixth-best in points allowed per game at just 19, and Lutz has been great when being called upon to put it through the uprights, but might lack opportunities in Week 15. Lutz has only had one game all season with more than nine points scored in a game, although the outlier game was 16 points with one 50+ yard field goal in Week 11. It won't be easy to bet on Lutz having a boom week against the Packers, and he comes into Week 15 as RotoBaller's 13th-ranked kicker.

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) will not be activated off of Injured Reserve and remains out for his team's Week 15 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, per NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Dallas opened Diggs' activation window on December 1, so he still has time to be activated before he would revert to season-ending IR. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since Week 6. Before getting injured, he recorded 13 solo tackles and one tackle for loss across six games (four starts). Without him, Dallas will likely continue to roll with cornerbacks DaRon Bland, Shavon Revel Jr., and Reddy Steward as its primary options against Minnesota. Diggs was a Pro-Bowler back in 2022, but injuries have limited him to just 19 games across the three seasons since then.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Troy Franklin has been trending in the wrong direction since the bye week and will host a relentless Green Bay Packers defense in Week 15. Coming off his two consecutive lowest snap shares of the season at 53% in Week 13 and 26% in Week 14, it seems the Broncos have revamped the offense to feature other players in the past two weeks. After leading the team in targets on the season until Week 14, it's certainly a cause for concern with fantasy managers. However, Franklin will see an increased target share and snaps with Pat Bryant (hamstring) ruled out for Week 15. The Packers have the seventh-best pass defense, allowing 185.8 yards per game, and will likely give the Broncos' passing attack a run for their money in Week 15. Despite Bryant being out, Franklin is mainly an option in deep leagues and comes in as RotoBaller's WR41 overall in Week 15.

Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller returned in Week 13 after missing four games due to a pectoral injury, but he hasn't been as productive as he was early in the season. Waller has been below a 50% snap share in each of the past two weeks, totaling three receptions for 60 yards on six targets. The 33-year-old was outsnapped by Greg Dulcich and Julian Hill in Week 14. The veteran tight end turned back the clock in his first three games in a Dolphins uniform, recording 10 receptions on 12 targets for 117 yards and four touchdowns. His snaps could increase on Monday night against the Steelers as he gets further removed from his injury, but he profiles more as a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy for Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix will host the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 for the first round of fantasy playoffs. The Packers enter Week 15 as the fifth-best defense in the NFL, averaging just 287.2 yards per game. It's been tough sledding for the Broncos this year in defensive matchups, and with Nix scoring just two touchdowns through the air along with three interceptions in the past four games, it will be hard to have faith that Nix will match some of the best quarterbacks in playoff matchups. While Nix has been a solid quarterback for the Broncos and is looking to lead them to their 11th straight win, Nix is RotoBaller's QB18 for Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton faces the Green Bay Packers in Week 15 in what could be another defensive battle. Sutton has had exactly 62 receiving yards in the past two games, but will be challenged by the seventh-best defense in average passing yards allowed at just 185.8 per game. It seems Sutton has returned to the clear WR1 role for the Broncos' offense since the bye week, but in Week 14, he had a season-low snap share of 65%. With the likelihood that Sutton will be a key piece of the offense if the Broncos want to beat the Packers this time around, it will be tough to bet on fantasy success as RotoBaller ranks him at WR27 overall for Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Denver Broncos running back RJ Harvey will be the workhorse back once again as they face the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 15. Although the Packers rank eighth-best in rushing yards allowed per game, averaging 101.8, Harvey is coming off his best game of the rookie season with 23 touches for 100 total yards and a touchdown. Having six targets in the last game as a frequent checkdown option also pads his floor and shows Harvey's versatility in the offense as a key piece of head coach Sean Payton's game plan. The Packers will be a good test for Harvey as he's rounding out his rookie regular season, alluding to RotoBaller ranking him as the RB19 overall for Week 15.

In the second half of the 2025 season, Chicago Bears running back Kyle Monangai has emerged as a consistent feature of his team's offense. Across his last six games, the 23-year-old has recorded 462 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 93 carries. Monangai is rarely utilized in the passing game and remains in a split backfield with Bears veteran back D'Andre Swift, limiting his production upside. Additionally, he'll face a difficult matchup in Week 15 against the Cleveland Browns. Entering Sunday, Cleveland ranks fourth among all NFL defenses in yards per carry allowed (3.8) and tied for fifth in rushing touchdowns allowed (nine). Still, the Bears have been running the football extremely well in recent weeks and rank second in the NFL in total rushing yards this season (1,984). Monangai profiles as a high-end flex option for fantasy managers in Week 15.
