Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (calf) is questionable for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. According to Ian Rapoport, Ferguson is expected to suit up despite the calf issue. Ferguson has been limited in practice while dealing with his nagging calf problem. It doesn't seem serious enough to keep him out of this game, but the Cowboys might wait to see how Ferguson feels closer to gametime. If healthy, Ferguson should be considered a locked-in TE1 for this game. Otherwise, Luke Schoonmaker would see an expanded role, but he wouldn't be a recommended streaming option even in a starting role.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) currently carries a questionable tag into Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Houston Texans. According to Adam Schefter, Demercado is expected to make his return to the field after missing the last three games with an ankle injury. His return to the mix would make for a messy situation in the backfield. Demercado figures to immediately have a significant role, which should reduce the playing time of Bam Knight and Michael Carter. This is already an unfavorable matchup against a Texans defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards this season. If Demercado is active, fantasy managers should view him on the lower end of the FLEX radar in deep leagues.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings should benefit from a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. While the Titans' pass defense has been better than their run defense, they've still allowed the sixth-most receiving yards and seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. Jennings has been one of the more dependable targets in San Francisco, scoring a touchdown in four of his last five games. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR20 in PPR leagues. He'll face competition from Christian McCaffrey and lose some targets to George Kittle, but there's no denying that Jennings is the best true wide receiver on the 49ers, especially with Ricky Pearsall catching just five passes over his last three games. Jennings is the overall WR23 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy rankings, and he should be started in all leagues.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin will look to bounce back following last week's underwhelming fantasy performance against the Minnesota Vikings. He's trending in the right direction with a more favorable matchup in Week 15 against the New York Giants. The Giants have allowed the fourth-most receiving yards and fifth-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2025. McLaurin has played in just six games this season, averaging 3.8 catches, 56.7 yards, and 0.3 touchdowns per contest. He'll be dealing with a change in quarterback this week as Marcus Mariota starts in place of Jayden Daniels (elbow), but that shouldn't have a significant effect on his fantasy value. McLaurin's best fantasy performance of the year came in Week 13 with Mariota under center, when the 30-year-old pass catcher had seven catches, 96 yards, and a touchdown in the Commanders' upset win over the Broncos. With a favorable matchup on tap, McLaurin should be viewed as a high-end WR2 in most leagues.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the New York Giants. Rodriguez is listed as questionable after logging back-to-back limited practices. The 26-year-old has taken on a much larger role lately, amassing 37 touches over his last three games. During that span, he's averaging an impressive 4.8 yards per carry and has also scored a touchdown. If Rodriguez is active, he'll rank as a low-end RB2 against a Giants defense that has allowed the second-most rushing yards and second-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. However, if he doesn't suit up, the Commanders would give increased snaps to Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols out of the backfield.

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey (back) "should be good to go" for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Tennessee Titans, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. McCaffrey entered the weekend without an injury designation, but he was added to the injury report on Saturday with a questionable tag. In the end, the star running back is expected to suit up in a very favorable matchup against a struggling Titans run defense that has allowed the third-most rushing touchdowns to opposing running backs in 2025. If he's near 100 percent, McCaffrey will rank as a high-end RB1 in fantasy football.

The Chicago Bears remain "optimistic" that wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) will play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Odunze is currently listed as questionable and is working his way back from a one-game absence. He ranks as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns so far. Windy conditions and temperatures in the single digits could have an impact on Odunze's fantasy value this week, but his upside as a big-play threat in the Bears' Caleb Williams-led offense keeps him in the WR3/flex tier. Managers should verify that Odunze is active when the Bears announce their list of inactive players at 11:30 a.m. EST.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Head coach Sean McVay previously said that he thought Adams would be able to suit up, and Schefter's report aligns with McVay's comments. The veteran receiver has appeared in all 13 games so far and was listed as questionable to face Detroit. He posted a modest four catches for 29 yards last week, but prior to that, he put together an impressive six-game touchdown streak. Adams ranks as the overall WR6 in PPR leagues this year with 56 catches, 718 yards, and 14 trips to the end zone. He should be viewed as a top-10 fantasy receiver for Week 15 as the Rams host the Lions.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) is not expected to play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Chubb had been listed as questionable. He missed two consecutive practices before logging a limited session on Friday, but the late upgrade in participation evidently wasn't enough for him to suit up this week. Chubb's absence will strengthen Woody Marks' hold on the lead-back role in Houston. Marks ranks as the overall RB12 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings. Dare Ogunbowale will operate as Marks' backup, and British Brooks could earn a few snaps in the third-string role.

Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson (illness) will be a game-time decision for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Denver Broncos, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Wilson needs to see how he feels prior to kickoff before the team makes a ruling on his status. The 26-year-old reportedly felt sick at the team facility on Saturday and was sent home with medication to improve his condition. The Packers hope that he can suit up, but we likely won't get an official decision on his availability until inactives are announced at 11:30 a.m. EST. If active, Wilson will likely back up Josh Jacobs (knee). Therefore, he can be left on the bench in most fantasy leagues.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Denver Broncos, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Jacobs had been listed as questionable after missing two of his three practices in the past week. While the Packers want to keep him fresh and acknowledge that they have another game in just six days, the team plans to have Jacobs available for Week 15, barring any sort of pregame setback. This is good news for fantasy managers, because Jacobs has been an RB1 this season and will provide major scoring upside as the playoffs get underway in many fantasy leagues. He ranks as the overall RB13 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings.

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has taken a back seat in the rushing attack recently, causing his value to slide ahead of the fantasy playoffs. The rookie garnered a ton of hype this summer and began the season as the clear leader of Washington's backfield. However, a significant dip in efficiency starting back in Week 6 has been a death knell for the 24-year-old's workload. Over that time frame, Croskey-Merritt has eclipsed 3.5 yards per carry in a given game on just three occasions. Conversely, teammate Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) has boasted double-digit carries in four of the last five games, marking a shift in the team's game plan. With Rodriguez Jr. questionable for Sunday's outing with the Giants, Croskey-Merritt may see a modest uptick in touch load. Still, he's clearly fallen out of favor with the coaching staff and can be avoided outside of a stash in dynasty formats.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is a high-risk fantasy option for his Week 15 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and potentially moving forward with the offense in flux. The former second-round pick of the 2022 NFL Draft has carved out a nice role with the team since he was acquired via trade with the Texans. Since Week 11, Metchie has led his positional cohorts in snaps and has picked up at least seven targets in three straight outings -- an excellent opportunity floor. However, he'll be a less stable asset this weekend with rookie Brady Cook calling signals for the Jets. Even if Cook's tenure as the starter lasts just one game, teammate Garrett Wilson's (knee) looming return would spell the end for Metchie's run as New York's WR1. For now, fantasy managers can rely on him as a low-end PPR alternative, but that output only figures to be sustainable while Wilson is still on IR.

Wide receiver Romeo Doubs has found it challenging to stay relevant in the Green Bay Packers' offense recently as the unit returns to health. Doubs was excellent earlier in the campaign, ripping off a string of viable fantasy performances as the only other option in the aerial attack aside from tight end Tucker Kraft (knee). However, the return of teammate Christian Watson and now Jayden Reed has hindered his output in that aspect. Since Watson returned in Week 8, Doubs has hauled in more than two passes in a game only thrice, including outings with one and zero receptions. Moreover, the former is just 90 receiving yards behind him (542-452) despite appearing in six fewer contests. With Green Bay's receiving corps nearly at full strength, Doubs slides in the rankings and is a particularly risky asset for fantasy on a team with the fourth-lowest pass rate in the league (51.98%).

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip) has seemingly fallen off the fantasy radar in recent weeks, and it isn't only due to his injury. The 23-year-old has stepped up superbly for the team this season, as they've dealt with a few injuries to their WR corps. However, he's taken somewhat of a back seat since Jacksonville acquired former Las Vegas Raider Jakobi Meyers at the November trade deadline. In the three full appearances played together, Meyers has out-caught (12-10) and out-gained (155-124) Washington, despite the latter out-targeting him 16-15. As it stands, Meyers has led the position in snaps three games running, pushing Washington down the ranks of the passing game hierarchy. The Penn State product should still have some productive weeks, but fantasy managers can look elsewhere for help in the playoffs, particularly while he battles a hip ailment.

Despite beginning the season with a strong role in the offense, Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange has taken a slight step back recently in terms of production. The third-year pro missed a stretch of five games earlier in the year due to a hip injury. While Strange has remained involved, commanding 15 targets over the previous three games since his return, new teammate Jakobi Meyers has hampered his upside. Furthermore, wideout Brian Thomas Jr. figures to see an uptick in work as he's further removed from an ankle injury. Strange may be a critical piece of the Jags' attack, although too many mouths to feed in an offense that ranks in the bottom 12 of the league in pass rate (54.52%) makes him a riskier option than earlier in the campaign.

Houston Texans tight end Harrison Bryant (neck/shoulder) has been activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 15. Bryant was placed on injured reserve in Week 11 due to a neck and shoulder injury he had sustained earlier this season. The 27-year-old had recorded two catches for seven yards on six targets before missing time due to these injuries. In response to his activation, the Texans have waived running back Cody Schrader. Bryant's potential return on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals will add much-needed depth to the Texans' tight end room behind starter Dalton Schultz.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo has been placed on injured reserve ahead of Seattle's Week 15 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. Arroyo was placed on injured reserve due to a knee injury that forced him to exit early in their Week 14 win in Atlanta. The 22-year-old rookie has played in 13 games this season, catching 15 passes for 179 yards and one touchdown. Arroyo was selected in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft after garnering a lot of hype during the predraft process. With Arroyo landing on injured reserve, expect Eric Saubert and Nick Kallerup to see more work in the Seahawks offense for the remainder of the regular season. The move will end Arroyo's regular-season rookie campaign, but he can return for the playoffs.

New York Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell has been the next receiver to fall victim to an inconsistent offense. Mitchell was a part of the blockbuster trade where the Indianapolis Colts sent him and two future first-round picks to the Jets in exchange for cornerback Sauce Gardner. The trade took place right before the deadline, and at the time, it shook up both teams' long-term and short-term plans. Since arriving in New York, Mitchell has seen only one game with over three catches despite seeing six or more targets in every game. The Jets offense will also have rookie quarterback Brady Cook, a 2024 undrafted free agent, starting for the first time in his NFL career against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Mitchell will remain an unreliable fantasy option for fantasy managers heading into Week 15.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Courtland Sutton has taken back the WR1 role in the Broncos' offense over the last two weeks. The 30-year-old has been able to rekindle his connection with Bo Nix and has taken advantage of positive matchups against the Washington Commanders and Las Vegas Raiders. In back-to-back games, Sutton has had 11 catches for 124 yards with one touchdown on 16 targets. Sutton was also able to reach double-digit targets in last Sunday's game for the first time since Week 7. This performance was able to boost his season-long stats and now leads the Broncos in every receiving statistical category. Sutton will face tougher competition on Sunday against a Green Bay Packers defense that has allowed the fewest yards per reception. Despite this, Sutton's reemergence in the Broncos' offense allows fantasy managers to fire him up as a dependable flex option in Week 15.
