Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) carries a questionable tag into Sunday night's contest against the Minnesota Vikings and would be viewed as a low-end TE1 if cleared for action. Ferguson opened the week as a limited participant but was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday, putting his availability in jeopardy. However, on Friday, the veteran tight end was able to practice in a limited capacity, which keeps him in play to suit up. Additionally, Todd Archer of ESPN reported that HC Brian Schottenheimer said he is "relieved" that Ferguson was able to "answer the bell" on Friday, suggesting he should be in a good position to play. From Weeks 1 through 7, Ferguson was on pace to compete for the overall TE1, as he averaged an elite 17.2 PPR points per game and found the back of the end zone six times. However, since Week 8, Ferguson's production has dropped considerably, averaging only 8.7 PPR points per game. During this stretch, he has scored just one touchdown. Even though Ferguson's production has continued to decline, managers should still view him as a reliable low-end TE1 given his elite offensive environment. He should be primed for a bounce-back in a projected high-scoring affair (O/U 48.5) against the Vikings on Sunday evening.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey should be locked into all starting lineups in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs when the Cowboys face the Minnesota Vikings. The 30-year-old enters Week 15 sitting as the overall K2 in total fantasy points, trailing only Seattle's Jason Myers. Aubrey is coming off one of his most productive outings of the campaign, when he hit all five of his attempts during their loss to the Lions. In this contest, Aubrey hit three field goals from 50+ yards out and nailed his other two from within 49 yards. Following his brief four-game skid (Weeks 8 through 12), when he went 4-for-6 on attempts, Aubrey has rounded back into form, going 8-for-8 on attempts and 3-for-3 on extra points over his last two games. Overall, Aubrey continues to showcase an elite ceiling at the position, given his ability to convert from long range. He has hit nine field goals from 50+ yards, trailing only Tampa Bay's Chase McLaughlin. Playing in a dome on Sunday night, managers should feel great knowing they have an elite positional advantage over their league mates and confidently start Aubrey in all formats.

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams projects to be a must-start low-end RB1 on Sunday night when the Cowboys welcome the Minnesota Vikings. Last week, Williams continued his massive bounce-back campaign by punching in his ninth rushing score of the season and his 11th total score from scrimmage. Despite facing a Detroit defense that had allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing RBs this season, Williams racked up 14.7 PPR points and was quite effective with his opportunities, tallying 67 yards on 17 attempts. Since Week 11, the former first-round pick has posted a solid 4.0 YPC and averaged 13.5 PPR points per game. While his ceiling may be limited, facing a Vikings defense that has allowed the 12th-fewest PPR points to opposing RBs, Williams carries high upside to find the back of the end zone, playing on one of the sport's top offensive units. In addition, his massive workload as the lead back (averaging 76% of the team's total snaps) gives him a high floor, making him a must-start, low-end RB1, in all formats.

Dallas Cowboys running back Malik Davis has emerged as the primary No. 2 option behind workhorse Javonte Williams in the team's backfield. However, Davis has been unable to carve out a substantial role, which makes him a handcuff with RB4 value heading into a Week 15 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Since their Week 10 bye, Davis has been the only other running back Williams to log an offensive snap, suggesting he would see a massive workload in the event the former first-round pick misses time with an injury. However, during this four-game stretch, Davis has been unable to log over 20% of the snaps in a single game and has only logged more than three carries once. In Week 13, Davis made the most of his change-of-pace role, tallying 47 yards and a score on three attempts. However, in the other three games, Davis has totaled 50 yards on 10 carries. Given his current usage, managers should continue to view him as a top handcuff that should not be in their starting lineup outside of a cheap flier in a DFS single-game slate.

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (knee) was able to practice in full on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 15 injury report. Marks will be active on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals and should have another heavy workload. Backfield mate Nick Chubb (ribs) is questionable after getting hurt in Sunday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. With Chubb getting hurt in Week 14, the 24-year-old Marks had a season-high 26 carries for 68 yards and caught two of three targets for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks was a non-participant in Wednesday's practice before slowly working his way to a full-go on Friday. Against a Cardinals defense that has allowed the fourth-most half-PPR points to RBs this year, Marks has plenty of upside for fantasy managers as an RB2 this weekend, even if Chubb is cleared to play. He has had double-digit carries in each of the last eight games and 16-plus carries in each of the last four contests.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) passed the league's concussion protocol and is off the injury report heading into their Sunday night tilt against the Minnesota Vikings. Lamb sustained this concussion during their Week 14 loss to the Detroit Lions on Thursday night. However, before exiting, the superstar wideout still made an impact, catching six of his eight targets for 121 yards on just 47% of the team's snaps. This was his second-straight game eclipsing the century mark. Since his three-game absence due to an ankle injury in Weeks 4 through 6, Lamb has returned to his high-end status at the position. During this seven-game stretch, Lamb has averaged a strong 17.6 PPR points per game and has continued to see a massive target share, earning 9.3 targets per game, despite playing alongside George Pickens. Given Dallas' high-octane passing game, QB Dak Prescott has been able to support both Pickens and Lamb as they have continued to produce WR1 stat lines on a weekly basis. Even though Lamb will face a formidable Minnesota secondary that has allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing WRs this season and just contained Terry McLaurin to 41 yards last Sunday, Lamb remains a must-start WR1 in all formats in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens is coming off one of the worst showings of his breakout season, but he is still worth viewing as a WR1 in all formats when he faces the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night. Last Thursday, Pickens brought in just five of his nine targets for a mere 37 yards. This was his lowest total since Week 1, when he tallied only 30 yards on three receptions. His production last week was quite disappointing as the team's No. 1 WR, CeeDee Lamb, exited with a concussion. Still, Pickens was unable to connect with quarterback Dak Prescott. However, managers should continue to view Pickens as a must-start option as he enters Week 15 as the overall WR2 in PPR scoring despite his Week 14 dud. During Weeks 11 through 13, Pickens averaged an elite 24.6 PPR points per game and totaled 126 yards per game with two receiving scores. Overall, Pickens has found the back of the end zone eight times, which is the same number of times he found the end zone as a Steeler during the 2023 and 2024 seasons combined. Despite facing an elite Minnesota secondary that enters the fantasy playoffs allowing the fewest PPR points to opposing WRs, and Lamb cleared for action, Pickens still carries immense upside in all formats and is a must-start WR1 in all league types.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy is considered a low-end desperation FLEX play in all standard leagues in Week 15. Flournoy saw his fantasy stock climb in Week 14 when he took on a larger role with CeeDee Lamb (concussion) exiting early with a concussion. In his absence, Flournoy slid in as the team's No. 2 WR opposite of George Pickens and was quite productive, catching nine of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a score. However, with Lamb cleared to return, Flournoy quickly reverts to the No. 3 spot on the WR depth chart, and No. 4 option in the passing game, behind tight Jake Ferguson. During Weeks 11 through 13, with a full complement of Dallas pass catchers in the lineup, Flournoy brought in just four of his five targets for 36 yards and a score. Even if Ferguson (calf) were to face a setback and not suit up, Flournoy would still carry desperation low-end FLEX value in deeper 14-team formats, given his placement on the depth chart. Flournoy has yet to carve out reliable targets with both Lamb and Pickens on the field, and his matchup against the elite Minnesota secondary makes him a high-risk fantasy option.

New York Jets running back Breece Hall (knee) was able to practice in full on Friday and has been removed from the Week 15 injury report, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Hall came down with some knee soreness following last week's loss to the Miami Dolphins and did not practice on Wednesday. He was limited on Thursday before being a full-go on Friday. Hall has averaged 4.4 yards per carry on 201 rushing attempts in 13 games in 2025, but New York's putrid offense has lowered his fantasy ceiling considerably. He comes into Week 15 as the RB17 in half-PPR scoring with 877 rushing yards and three touchdowns on the ground, adding 30 receptions for 309 yards and another score. Things could get even worse this weekend, too, with rookie quarterback Brady Cook making his first career start. Hall needs to be downgraded in fantasy to a low-upside RB2 this weekend against a Jaguars defense that allows the fewest rushing yards per game.

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott is a must-start QB1 in all formats despite facing a tougher Minnesota Vikings defense. The Vikings enter Week 15, allowing the second-fewest PPR points to opposing QBs. However, Prescott has been a high-end option at the position all season and figures to carry a high ceiling with his top wideout, CeeDee Lamb, passing concussion protocol. Last week, Prescott totaled over 300 passing yards for the third-straight game. In their tough loss to the Lions on Thursday evening, Prescott went 31-for-47 with 376 yards and one score. Since his Week 10 bye, Prescott has averaged an elite 27.4 PPR points per game and totaled 10 total TDs with 329.5 passing yards per game. With two elite wide receivers at his disposal, Prescott carries a very safe floor with an elite ceiling if that game becomes a shootout. Given the high implied point total (O/U 48.5), fantasy managers should feel confident locking the Mississippi State product in their lineup in the opening week of the fantasy playoffs.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (illness) was a full-go in practice on Friday and was removed from the Week 15 injury report, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. McCaffrey is fully expected to play on Sunday against the visiting Tennessee Titans after he came down with an illness this week and was limited in practice on Thursday. CMC is an absolute must-start in Week 15 against the Titans, a team that allows 122.5 rushing yards per game. The 29-year-old comes into Week 15 action as the RB2 in half-PPR points on the year, thanks to 849 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 237 carries. McCaffrey hasn't been that great on the ground, but where he excels is as a pass-catcher, as he leads all backs in catches (85), targets (107), receiving yards (806), and touchdowns (five), and it's not even close.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable to play in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Raymond has missed the last two games after suffering an ankle injury in the Week 12 win over the New York Giants. If the 31-year-old veteran is able to play at SoFi Stadium, he'll merely be a depth option at the position for Detroit behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Rookie Isaac TeSlaa has seen more involvement in the Lions' offense with Raymond sidelined the last two weeks and will be an obstacle for Raymond if he returns, especially in the red zone. Raymond has not been worth rostering in most fantasy formats in 2025, as he comes into Week 15 with only 15 catches for 150 yards and no touchdowns on 19 targets in a Lions offense with lots of other mouths to feed.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard (knee) won't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. Leonard was able to practice in full all week despite suffering a low-grade PCL sprain during last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was forced into action after Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles tendon. Leonard completed 18 of 29 passing attempts for 145 yards with an interception in relief of Jones and also rushed the ball twice for five yards and a touchdown on the ground. With Jones out for the year and Leonard hurt, the Colts went out and signed 44-year-old Philip Rivers this week. The Colts haven't revealed whether they'll go with Rivers or Leonard against Seattle. Given his ability to move the ball with his legs, Leonard is probably more appealing from a fantasy perspective. However, all signs are pointing to Rivers making his first NFL start since 2020 in Week 15 on the road in Seattle.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. Demercado is in danger of missing his fourth straight game due to a high-ankle sprain he suffered in Week 11. He has managed to get in limited practice sessions, but we'll see if that's enough to clear him for this game. If he sits out, Bam Knight and Michael Carter should continue splitting up the reps in the backfield in a bad matchup against the top defense in the NFL. Between the two, Knight is the better streaming choice for Week 15. Knight has scored a touchdown in three of his last four games, and his dual-threat ability should give him flex value for this weekend, assuming Demercado remains sidelined. If Demercado is active, he'll likely play a limited role as a pass-catcher for Arizona.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulders) could not practice at all this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. Carter will miss his second straight game after having operations on both of his shoulders recently. It remains to be seen if the 24-year-old former ninth overall pick out of Georgia in 2023 will be able to return for the Eagles in Week 16 against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Carter's absence on the interior of Philly's defensive line is a downgrade for sure, but they shouldn't have much of a problem handling a bad Raiders offense that will be turning to backup quarterback Kenny Pickett this weekend with Geno Smith (shoulder, back) injured. With Carter out again for the Eagles, Byron Young will see more playing time. Philly's defense/special teams unit is a must-start in fantasy football.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) has been ruled out for the upcoming Week 15 matchup versus the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Arroyo suffered a knee injury during last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Mike Macdonald has been referring to Arroyo as week-to-week, which doesn't bode well for his chances of returning anytime soon. In his absence, AJ Barner will have more opportunities to do damage in the passing game against a banged-up Colts team. Barner will be a more intriguing TE2 streamer in fantasy football with an expanded role this weekend. He's worth snagging off the waiver wire for fantasy managers seeking help at tight end in Week 15.

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton (shin) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve for the team's crucial Week 16 divisional game against the Los Angeles Rams next Thursday night, but head coach Mike Macdonald made it sound like Horton could need more time. "It's still a process right now. We got some tests going on, not as we speak, but in the last day or two, and that'll be indicative of how fast we can accelerate everything," Macdonald said. The 23-year-old fifth-rounder out of Colorado State caught all four of his targets for 28 yards and two touchdowns in his last game on Nov. 2 against the Washington Commanders, which might end up being the last game that Horton plays in the regular season in his first NFL season. Any chances of Horton being a fantasy asset to close out the year also likely went out the window when Seattle acquired deep threat Rashid Shaheed from the Saints at the trade deadline.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 15 after being a non-participant during Friday's practice session. Bateman popped up with an ankle injury on Thursday's injury report. It appears to be serious enough to put his status in danger for the upcoming rematch against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman has been a non-factor in fantasy formats for most of the season in a Ravens offense that has been a shell of its explosive 2024 self. If he sits out, DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker would likely see expanded roles behind Zay Flowers. Neither wideout can be trusted as a starting option in 12-team fantasy formats for Week 15. The 26-year-old Bateman has only 18 receptions in 11 games in 2025 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (calf) was added to the Week 15 injury report and was listed as limited in Friday's practice, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. Austin's status for Monday night's game against the Miami Dolphins is now in question, but we'll have a better idea of his availability after Pittsburgh's final practice of the week on Saturday. It's unclear if the 26-year-old sustained a calf injury during Friday's practice. Austin hasn't been a major contributor for the Steelers or fantasy managers in his third NFL season, catching 27 of 46 targets for 309 yards and only two touchdowns in 11 games. He has not found the end zone since Sept. 21 and has not cleared 50 receiving yards since Nov. 2 against the Colts. There is nobody for fantasy managers to trust in starting lineups in Pittsburgh's WR corps beyond DK Metcalf. If Austin cannot play against Miami, veteran Adam Thielen could have a bigger role in his second game with the team.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) is officially listed as questionable ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets. Washington was limited in practice during the first two sessions but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. Washington appears to be trending in the right direction to make his return this weekend after sitting out last week's win over the Indianapolis Colts. If active, Washington will likely take a back seat as the WR3 for the Jags with Brian Thomas Jr. healthy now. Jakobi Meyers has been seeing more involvement with six targets or more in four straight games since being acquired from the Raiders at the trade deadline. Washington should be viewed as a low-end WR4/flex option for this weekend (if he plays) in a game in which the Jags probably won't have to throw the ball all that much. If he's out again, Tim Patrick will see WR3 duties for the second straight week.
