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.

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.

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.

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.

Across 13 games this season, Green Bay Packers quarterback Jordan Love has completed 67.1% of his pass attempts for 3,028 yards, 22 touchdowns, and four interceptions. The 27-year-old has played some of his best football in recent weeks, recording seven touchdown passes over his last two games. The Packers prefer to operate with a run-heavy approach, which limits Love's production upside. He's attempted fewer than 30 passes in seven out of 13 starts this season. However, Love is highly efficient, averaging 7.8 yards per pass attempt. If he can continue his recent run of touchdown production, Love could emerge as a consistent fantasy QB1 down the stretch of the season. The Packers will take on the Denver Broncos, Chicago Bears, and Baltimore Ravens over the next three weeks.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson (illness) has been added to the injury report and is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos due to an illness. With running back Josh Jacobs (knee) also questionable to play with a knee injury, Green Bay could be without its top two backs against Denver. The Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad for Week 15, which could be an indication that the team expects to be without at least one of Jacobs or Wilson. If both Jacobs and Wilson are sidelined, Strong Jr. and Chris Brooks would likely handle the team's backfield work on Sunday. Fantasy managers should monitor the Green Bay backfield situation closely, as a final update on both Jacobs and Wilson may not come until closer to game time.

The Green Bay Packers have elevated running back Pierre Strong Jr. from their practice squad to the active roster ahead of the team's Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. With top Green Bay running backs Josh Jacobs (knee) and Emanuel Wilson (illness) both questionable for Sunday, the Packers could be forced to turn to Strong Jr. and Chris Brooks in the backfield. The 27-year-old Strong Jr. has yet to appear in a game so far in 2025. Across 14 games with the Cleveland Browns in 2024, he recorded 212 scrimmage yards on 40 touches. Brooks has just 66 total carries across 37 career NFL games, so it's unclear who Green Bay would turn to as the lead back if both Jacobs and Wilson are out. Fantasy managers may want to stash Strong Jr. off the waiver wire just in case he finds himself in a prominent role come game time on Sunday.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the San Francisco 49ers' "optimism seems to have run out" that wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk (knee) would report to the team ready to practice. Aiyuk has yet to play this season as he recovers from a serious knee injury that ended his 2024 season in Week 7. The team voided guaranteed money on Aiyuk's contract for the 2026 season, which seems to be a sticking point for the wide receiver as well. It's not entirely clear if Aiyuk will ever play another game for San Francisco, but Russini reports that she "expect(s) a resolution sooner rather than later." In Aiyuk's last fully healthy season, he recorded 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdowns on 105 targets across 16 games in 2023. If Aiyuk's time in San Francisco is coming to a close, he would surely have interest from teams on the open market.

From RotoBaller

New York Jets wide receiver Isaiah Williams recorded two receptions for 24 yards on three targets during last week's blowout loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old wideout has seen his snap share increase since Week 8, playing 46.5% of the snaps after playing just one total offensive snap over the first seven weeks. Williams is still not involved enough to be considered a legitimate option in fantasy, especially with undrafted rookie Brady Cook making his first career start in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Tyquan Thornton hasn't played a significant role in the offense since the return of Rashee Rice in Week 7, playing 24.1% of the snaps and catching four of nine targets for 119 yards over that time. The speedy wideout should see an uptick in snaps in Week 15's divisional game against the Los Angeles Chargers with Marquise Brown (personal) ruled out. The former New England Patriot was dynamic in the first five games of the season, seeing regular playing time, averaging 20.9 yards per reception and scoring three touchdowns on 13 catches. Thornton faces a challenging matchup on Sunday as the Chargers have allowed the fewest PPR points per game against wide receivers this season. He profiles as a boom-or-bust flex option in deeper leagues.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki is coming off his best game of the 2025 campaign, catching all six targets for 86 yards. He also found the end zone for the first time this season. Naturally, his stock is much higher after that performance. It increased even more once Tee Higgins (concussion) was ruled out. That means extra targets will be up for grabs in the Week 15 rematch with the Ravens. While Ja'Marr Chase and Chase Brown are the favorites to see the most attention from Joe Burrow, that's not to say Gesicki won't be more involved (and productive) than usual. As a result, the veteran can be utilized for streaming purposes in any fantasy format on Sunday versus Baltimore in a contest that is projected to feature plenty of offense from both sides.

From RotoBaller

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith has just five receptions over his past five games but will look to get more involved against his former team, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 15. This is an enticing matchup for Smith, as Miami has surrendered the third-most fantasy points per contest to opposing tight ends this season. While Smith's biggest concern remains his inconsistent utilization, he could draw additional looks on Monday night if fellow tight end Darnell Washington (concussion) is ruled out. The potential for cold temperatures and strong winds also works in Smith's favor, as he primarily operates near the line of scrimmage and generates yards after the catch. He's far from a reliable fantasy starter, but the 30-year-old could surprise in this revenge game and has some appeal as a streaming option in deeper leagues.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals running back Samaje Perine had 14 attempts in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. He also logged a season-high 33 offensive snaps. As a result, many assumed the 30-year-old would continue to have more of a role in the recent loss to the Buffalo Bills. However, that didn't happen, with Perine ending the day with 31 yards off six carries. All things considered, Perine should remain in the mix in the Week 15 rematch with Baltimore, although he'll likely receive the residual touches left over by Chase Brown. That's not to say he can't or won't find the end zone, but the odds aren't in his favor.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave recorded three receptions for 30 yards on five targets in the Week 14 win against the Buccaneers. His muted performance was a surprise, given he had recorded at least 54 yards or a touchdown in every other game this season. He now faces the Panthers, against whom he put up a season-high 104 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 10. Carolina allows the seventh-fewest PPR points per game to receivers, though New Orleans dominated through the air in their first meeting with 282 passing yards. Olave remains the top option in the Saints' passing game and could be in line for a strong bounce-back showing in Week 15. He ranks as a strong WR2 with upside this week.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele recorded three receptions for 40 yards on five targets in the Week 14 victory against the Buccaneers. Both his targets and yardage led the team, as Vele has continued to carve out a larger role in the offense since Rashid Shaheed's departure. Over his last three games, he has totaled 14 receptions for 170 yards and one touchdown, averaging 12.1 yards per catch. He has also led the team in snap share each of the past three weeks, including 93% last week. Despite his increased role, Vele remains a risky option given the overall inconsistencies of the Saints' offense. He has the opportunity to produce a solid fantasy performance each week, but his floor is low, making him a weekly WR3/WR4 with matchup-dependent upside.

From RotoBaller

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson caught all four of his targets for 38 yards in Week 14's victory over the Buccaneers. His receptions led the team, and he has now recorded at least four catches or a touchdown in each of his last seven contests. Over his last three games, Johnson ranks as the fourth-most-targeted tight end in the league and has consistently dominated the Saints' tight end room in snap share. However, with the offense leaning more toward the run in Week 14, his snap count dropped to 53%, the second-lowest mark of the season. His lowest snap share came in Week 10 against the Panthers, when he also posted a career-best 92 yards and a touchdown. Expect Johnson to bounce back this week.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin recorded three catches for 41 yards on six targets in last week's blowout loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The 30-year-old wideout was unable to build on his season-best performance in Week 13 against a stout Denver Broncos secondary, where he hauled in seven of 14 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown with Marcus Mariota at the helm. McLaurin will be catching passes from Mariota again in Week 15's divisional matchup against the New York Giants after Jayden Daniels (elbow) aggravated his elbow injury in last week's loss. The veteran collected just two catches (four targets) for 27 yards in Week 1 against the Giants, but snagged two touchdowns against them last season in their Week 9 meeting. The Giants' defense has struggled in all areas this season and has allowed the fourth-most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. McLaurin ranks as RotoBaller's WR15 in PPR leagues in Week 15.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) has posted at least four receptions in five straight games, averaging 12.7 PPR points per game over that stretch. Samuel was added to the injury report on Friday after missing practice with an illness, and he's currently listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional game against the New York Giants. The veteran should be considered likely to suit up on Sunday, barring something changing. The former San Francisco 49er had an excellent fantasy outing in his Week 1 matchup against the Giants, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 77 yards while adding one carry for a 19-yard touchdown. If he's active, Samuel profiles as a solid WR3 option in Week 15 against a Giants defense that has allowed the fourth most PPR points per game to opposing wide receivers.

From RotoBaller

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas has only two touchdowns this season after finding the end zone six times in 2024. With Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined heading into the Week 15 game versus Baltimore, Iosivas has gained more attention from fantasy managers in need of a streaming option. Higgins wasn't available in Week 13 against the Ravens, although Iosivas didn't benefit, catching only one pass for 29 yards. Cincinnati and Baltimore will do it again on Sunday. However, despite Higgins' absence, Joe Burrow still has plenty of options at his disposal, meaning Iosivas isn't a lock to see an uptick in targets. While the 26-year-old has a higher upside than normal, he still isn't a safe option. Fantasy managers should proceed with caution.
