Packers' Micah Parsons suffers non-contact knee injury vs. Broncos

Field Level Media

Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons departed Sunday's road game against the Denver Broncos with a non-contact left knee injury.

Parsons collapsed in a heap and clutched his knee after attempting to take down Broncos quarterback Bo Nix in the final minute of the third quarter. The two-time All-Pro walked to the locker room with the help of medical personnel. The Packers soon announced he was questionable to return.

Parsons came into Sunday with 12.5 sacks in his first season with Green Bay, which acquired him in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys in August.

Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was ruled out for the remainder of the game with a chest injury.

Watson was hurt on a deep pass that was intercepted by Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II with 12:55 left in the third quarter. Surtain landed on Watson as he made a leaping catch of Jordan Love's throw.

Watson, who missed the first six games while rehabbing a torn ACL suffered last season, entered Sunday with 25 receptions for 452 yards and five touchdown catches.

Player Notes
Patrick Mahomes Dec 14 7:40pm ET
Patrick Mahomes

According to the team, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) has suffered a torn ACL. Mahomes exited Sunday's loss to the Chargers in the fourth quarter after suffering a left knee injury. Following the game, the three-time Super Bowl winner underwent an MRI, which eventually revealed the extent of their injury. The team noted that Mahomes and the club are currently exploring surgical options. As a result, this will keep the 30-year-old quarterback sidelined for the remainder of the 2025 campaign and potentially part of the 2026 season. Before exiting on Sunday, Mahomes went 16-for-28 with 189 yards, an interception, and added 15 yards and a score with his legs. For the remainder of the season, Gardner Minshew is slated to take over QB1 duties in Kansas City. He will carry mid-end QB2 upside in Week 16, facing a weak Tennessee secondary, playing in an offense with Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Travis Kelce.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) has returned to Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The star wideout exited the game in the fourth quarter due to a cramping injury. However, he was able to quickly return, suggesting this injury was not overly serious. Managers should keep an eye on his status during the week leading up to their Week 16 contest on Thursday evening in case he faces a setback. Nacua has enjoyed a stellar showing during this game, catching nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards, which is on track to be a season-high.

Patrick Mahomes

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) had an MRI which showed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee late in the Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mahomes and the team are exploring surgical options. QB Gardner Minshew is expected to take over the starting quarterback to finish the season.

Fantasy Spin: The news goes from bad to worse for the Chiefs, who were eliminated from the playoffs, and now this. The timetable for Mahomes' return is uncertain, but it's likely training camp and preseason will be unlikely, and the start of the 2026 season could also be in danger for Mahomes, since this injury occurred so late in the season.

Tennessee Titans S Xavier Woods (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury and he did not return.

Puka Nacua

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua (cramping) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to cramping. The superstar wideout suffered this injury in the fourth quarter. While he may be in danger of missing the final minutes of this contest, it appears he has avoided a significant injury. Before exiting, Nacua enjoyed another massive showing, bringing in nine of his 11 targets for 181 yards. With Davante Adams (hamstring) also exiting the contest early, managers should expect Tutu Atwell and Joran Whittington to serve as the top options in the passing attack for the remainder of Sunday's game. Given that he appears to have avoided a serious injury, Nacua should be on track to suit up on Thursday when the Rams face the Seahawks.

Jake Ferguson Dec 14 7:20pm ET
Jake Ferguson

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) is officially available for Sunday night's match against the Minnesota Vikings. The top tight end carried a questionable tag on Friday's final injury report. On Thursday, he was unable to practice but returned on Friday in a limited capacity. However, he was able to progress enough to suit up. After a hot start to the season, when he averaged an impressive 17.2 PPR points per game over the first seven weeks, Ferguson has seen his production take a massive step back, averaging just 8.7 PPR points from Weeks 8 through 14. This evening, he will face a Minnesota secondary that has allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing TEs this season. He projects to be a low-end TE1 in standard formats and is a viable play in DFS showdown slates.

Davante Adams Dec 14 7:13pm ET
Davante Adams

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Fantasy Spin: Adams went up for a reception, and immediately grabbed at the back of his leg after falling to the turf. Since he left for the locker room late in the game, it's likely we've seen the last of him for Week 15. When healthy, he remains a WR1 due to his touchdown-scoring ability. We'll provide more details when they become available.

Micah Parsons

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to a knee injury. The superstar defensive lineman suffered this injury in the third quarter. This was a non-contact injury, and he needed assistance to walk off the field. Before exiting, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. For the remainder of the game, fantasy managers should expect Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

Davante Adams Dec 14 7:10pm ET
Davante Adams

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) exited Sunday's contest against the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. The star wideout suffered this non-contact injury while running a route in the fourth quarter and immediately went to the locker room. Entering this game, Adams carried a questionable tag due to a hamstring injury after missing the first two practices of the week and remaining in a limited capacity on Friday. Managers should pay close attention leading up to his Week 16 clash against the Seahawks, which is on Thursday evening. Puka Nacua figures to take on an even higher share of the targets for the remainder of Sunday's contest, while Jordan Whittington and Tutu Atwell move up the depth chart.

Christian Watson Dec 14 7:00pm ET
Christian Watson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) has been ruled out for the remainder of their contest against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury. Watson sustained this injury in the third quarter when attempting to catch a pass from Jordan Love, which was eventually intercepted by Patrick Surtain II. Before suffering this injury, the former first-round pick brought in just three of his five targets for 29. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status leading up to a critical divisional tilt in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. Managers should expect Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs to take on lead duties in the passing attack with rookie Matthew Golden moving up to the No. 3 role for the remainder of Sunday's game.

Marvin Mims

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) has returned to Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Mims was being evaluated for a potential concussion but was able to quickly return to action. With rookie Pat Bryant (hamstring) unable to suit up this weekend, Mims is expected to continue to operate as the team's No. 3 WR behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Mims immediately made an impact after returning, tallying a nine-yard reception on their scoring drive in the third quarter, which ended with Sutton bringing a 14-yard TD pass from Bo Nix.

Gunnar Helm Dec 14 6:40pm ET
Gunnar Helm

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest. The rookie tight end sustained this injury in the second half. Before exiting the contest, Helm was enjoying a strong start to the game, bringing in both of his targets for 38 yards and a score. His TD reception came on a 34-yard strike from fellow rookie Cameron Ward in the second frame. While he remains sidelined, managers should expect Chig Okonkwo to log the majority of snaps at the tight end position and see an uptick in targets.

Christian Watson Dec 14 6:40pm ET
Christian Watson

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury. Green Bay's top pass catcher sustained this injury in the third quarter when attempting to catch a pass that was eventually intercepted by Denver defensive back Patrick Surtain II. Before exiting, Watson brought in three of his five targets for just 29 yards. Leading up to this game, Watson was enjoying a strong stretch of play, averaging 18.4 PPR points from Weeks 11 through 14. Fantasy managers should expect Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and Matthew Golden to operate as the top WRs while Watson remains sidelined.

Travis Kelce Dec 14 6:33pm ET
Travis Kelce

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce registered seven receptions for a game-high 70 yards on nine targets in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Spin: Kelce's catch and yardage total was his highest since Week 11 when he had season bests with nine receptions and 91 yards with a touchdown on 13 targets. Kelce looked like a TE1 in fantasy leagues, at least for those in PPR leagues, but his short-term fantasy outlook is a bit cloudy with Patrick Mahomes exiting with a knee injury. Mahomes needs an MRI, and the Chiefs were eliminated. It's possible Kelce could have Gardner Minshew throwing to him in Week 16 and beyond.

From TheHuddle

Stefon Diggs Dec 14 6:23pm ET
Stefon Diggs

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs caught three of four targets for 26 yards in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Spin: It's the third straight game with three or fewer receptions and less than 30 yards for Diggs. He's topped 100 yards three times this season but just once in the last nine weeks with seven games under 50 yards. If Diggs hadn't lost his spot in most fantasy lineups by now, he should probably be on the bench going forward.

TreVeyon Henderson Dec 14 6:20pm ET
TreVeyon Henderson

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson totaled over 150 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. On the ground, the second-round pick out of Ohio State took 14 attempts for 148 yards and two scores. Both of his touchdowns came on long rushes for 52 yards and 65 yards, respectively. Through the air, Henderson brought in two of his three targets for an additional 13 yards. Even though Henderson ceded six carries and three targets to Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson still operated as the lead back and flashed much higher upside. Managers should continue to view the rookie as a high-end must-start RB2 in all formats, even if he continues to share opportunities with Stevenson, ahead of a tilt against the Ravens in Week 16

From RotoBaller

Hunter Henry Dec 14 6:13pm ET
Hunter Henry

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry caught one of three targets for 18 yards in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Spin: Henry was held to two or fewer receptions for the sixth time this season. He entered with 15 grabs for 233 yards and a touchdown in his last three games. Henry currently sits in the second tier of fantasy tight ends and can function as a low-end TE1 in playoff formats.

From TheHuddle

Mack Hollins Dec 14 6:13pm ET
Mack Hollins

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins caught four of eight targets for 41 yards in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Spin: Hollins led the Pats in receptions and targets against the Bills, doubling up all other receivers in targets. The eight targets was his second most this season. Splitting routes with three other wide receivers this season limits Hollins' fantasy value. He has just two touchdowns this season among 39 receptions.

Devin Neal Dec 14 6:10pm ET
Devin Neal

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, New Orleans Saints running back Devin Neal (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of their Week 15 contest due to a hamstring injury. Neal sustained this injury in the first half. Before exiting, he was able to punch in a rushing score and tally 28 yards on seven attempts. The rookie also brought his lone target for four yards. With Alvin Kamara (knee) on the shelf and Kendre Miller (knee) shut down for this season, Neal has taken over RB1 duties in New Orleans. For the remainder of this contest, fantasy managers should expect Audric Estime and Evan Hull to split the backfield. Managers should keep a close eye on Neal's status during the week, as he would carry RB2 upside in a favorable matchup against the Jets in Week 16.
