Elijah Arroyo in Jeopardy of Missing Week 15

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) could miss the Week 15 game against the Indianapolis Colts this Sunday after injuring his knee in Sunday's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons, according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic. "This week's probably in jeopardy for him," head coach Mike Macdonald said. The 22-year-old second-rounder out of Miami was unable to haul in his only target against Atlanta before leaving the game. Arroyo has pretty much only been stash-worthy in dynasty/keeper fantasy leagues this year, as he has only 15 catches for 179 yards and one touchdown on 26 targets in his first 13 NFL games. If Arroyo cannot play in a solid matchup against Indy this weekend, fellow TE AJ Barner will have more streaming value as Seattle's top pass-catching tight end in Week 15.

Buccaneers Sign Jason Pierre-Paul to Their Practice Squad

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are signing outside linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul to their practice squad on Monday, a source told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Pierre-Paul last played in the NFL for the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints in 2023, recording only two tackles (one solo) in three games. The three-time Pro Bowler was the 15th overall pick by the New York Giants in 2010 out of South Florida. The 36-year-old spent the first eight years of his NFL career with the G-Men before playing with the Buccaneers from 2018-21. JPP has 94.5 career sacks and 631 tackles (456 solo) in his 14 NFL seasons. If Pierre-Paul makes it up to Tampa's 53-man active roster for the remainder of the 2025 season, he'll almost certainly be in a rotational role for the Bucs' defense.

No Update on Geno Smith's Shoulder on Monday

Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll said that he didn't have an update on Monday on quarterback Geno Smith's right-shoulder injury that he suffered in the second half of Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos, according to Ryan McFadden of ESPN. "I won't know for a couple of days," Carroll said. Smith injured his fingers and shoulder in Week 14, but it was his right-shoulder injury that knocked him out of the game in the second half, and he never returned. The 35-year-old apparently avoided serious damage to his throwing shoulder, but the lack of an update suggests Smith's availability for Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles is up in the air. At this point, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the struggling Raiders give backup Kenny Pickett his first start of the year against his former team. Smith has been a bust in his first year in Vegas, completing 67% of his passes for 2,648 yards and 16 touchdowns. He leads the league in interceptions (16) and sacks taken (49).

Justin Herbert Expected to Start on Monday Night

Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) is expected to start on Monday night against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles at SoFi Stadium, a source told Omar Ruiz of NFL Network. Herbert, who had been listed as questionable after breaking his left hand last Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, is wearing a padded glove on his surgically repaired non-throwing hand. The 27-year-old will be active on Monday night, but he might take most, if not all, of the snaps out of the shotgun formation to protect his hand. While his surgically repaired hand won't be a factor in Herbert throwing the football, this is a matchup for fantasy managers to shy away from this week in single-QB leagues. Philly's defense could get plenty of pressure on Herbert, even without star defensive tackle Jalen Carter (shoulder), and they've allowed the fewest passing TDs (12) to QBs this year.

Cardinals Could Hold Trey Benson Out Another Week

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that activating running back Trey Benson (knee) off Injured Reserve and giving him another week on the shelf "is an option" if he can't check all the appropriate health boxes by Wednesday, according to Tyler Drake of Arizona Sports. Benson has not played since suffering a knee injury in Week 4 that required surgery. It's possible that the 23-year-old second-year RB from Florida State needs another week, and it's also possible that he's held out for the remainder of the season with the Cardinals out of the playoff hunt. Benson was cleared to return to practice two weeks ago. He initially was limited in practice before sitting out all of last week, suggesting he may have suffered a setback. Emari Demercado (ankle) has also missed the last few games, leaving Bam Knight and Michael Carter to share backfield duties. Knight could be in line for lead-back work again in Week 15 versus the Houston Texans.

Chris Godwin Jr. Still on the Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. (leg) remains on the injury report and was listed as a limited participant in Monday's walkthrough practice, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. The Bucs continue to limit Godwin's practice availability early in the week since his return from a fractured fibula in Week 12. The 29-year-old played only 36% of the snaps in Week 12, catching two of four targets for nine yards. Godwin has seen more of the field the last two weeks, though, playing at least 66% of the snaps and combining for eight catches and 133 yards on 13 targets. He had a season-high five receptions on eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's loss to the New Orleans Saints. Godwin should be fine to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, but the potential return of receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) will cut into Godwin's target share going forward.

Cade Otton in Danger of Missing Week 15?

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the team's walkthrough practice on Monday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Otton didn't appear to get hurt in Sunday's upset loss to the New Orleans Saints, but his Week 15 status is worth watching over the next two days before a Thursday night showdown against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Otton caught three of his four targets for 19 yards on Sunday. The 26-year-old hasn't gone over 30 receiving yards in a game since a season-high 82-yard performance in the loss to the New England Patriots on Nov. 9. He also has yet to score in 2025. Otton has two more chances to return to practice, but even if he's active, he'll be more of a TE2 option for fantasy managers against Atlanta, especially if receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) are able to return.

Kyle Pitts Sr. on the Week 15 Injury Report

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) is on the team's Week 15 injury report and was listed as limited for Monday's estimated practice, according to Tori McElhaney of AtlantaFalcons.com. Pitts looked fine in the team's Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, catching six of his 10 targets for a season-high 90 yards while playing 92% of the offensive snaps. The Falcons are likely just giving the 25-year-old a little rest going into Thursday's divisional clash against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Pitts' 10 targets on Sunday matched a season high, and he's had 13 catches on 18 targets for 172 yards the last two weeks with top wideout Drake London (knee) sidelined with a PCL sprain. If London misses a third straight game this week, Pitts will once again have more upside as a TE1 for fantasy managers. In the Week 1 loss to Tampa, Pitts had seven catches on eight targets for 59 yards.

Jalen McMillan • WR • Buccaneers

Jalen McMillan Limited on Monday's Injury Report

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. McMillan is trying to make his way back from multiple fractures in his neck and ligament damage that he suffered in a preseason game in August. The 24-year-old second-year pass-catcher has a chance to play for the first time this year in Week 15 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Veteran Mike Evans (collarbone) could play on Thursday, too. McMillan, a third-rounder in 2024 out of Washington, had a solid 37-461-8 line in 13 games in his rookie campaign. He was in line for a significant role alongside Evans and Chris Godwin Jr. before his preseason injury. McMillan is still a big part of Tampa's future, but he may struggle for consistent playing time in a now-crowded Tampa receiving room that also features productive rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson.

Mike Evans • WR • Buccaneers

Mike Evans Listed as Limited on Monday

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Evans resumed practicing last week for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 7, but he was held out of the upset loss on Sunday to the New Orleans Saints. Even with a short week upcoming on Thursday night versus the division-rival Atlanta Falcons, Evans has a real chance to come off Injured Reserve to make his return in Week 15. Fellow wideout Jalen McMillan (neck) is also in play to make his 2025 debut this week, so the Bucs could be getting some key pass-catchers back as they try to win the NFC South division in the final four weeks of the season. The 32-year-old Evans is a future Hall of Famer, but he'll be very risky as a starter in fantasy lineups this week if he's active with the Bucs potentially looking to limit his snaps following a lengthy absence.

Drake London Listed as a DNP on Monday

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London (knee) was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated injury report on Monday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. London hasn't practiced or played since spraining the PCL in his knee in Week 11, and although he's been listed as day-to-day this week, it's bad news that the 24-year-old is a DNP on Monday with the team's next game coming on Thursday night versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. London is going to need to get back on the practice field on Tuesday or Wednesday to have a shot at returning in Week 15. When active, London is a must-start for fantasy purposes, even with quarterback Kirk Cousins running the offense for the rest of the year. If London misses a third straight game, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. should be the Falcons' leading receiver again.

Nick Chubb • RB • Texans

Nick Chubb in Danger of Missing Week 15?

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) could be in danger of missing the team's Week 15 contest against the Arizona Cardinals after he suffered a rib injury in Sunday night's win over the Kansas City Chiefs. "Woody Marks has done a nice job. He's handled himself very well, taking care of his body. It's hard being an RB in this league. We'll see where Chubb (rib) ends up this week and if he can get back out there for us," head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday. Chubb injured his rib in the second quarter and never returned. The rookie Marks has already taken over Houston's backfield, and he had a career-high 26 rushing attempts in the 20-10 win in KC, going for 68 yards while adding two catches for eight yards and a touchdown. Marks should see another heavy RB1-type workload against Arizona on Sunday, regardless of whether Chubb is active. Chubb hasn't had double-digit carries in a game since Nov. 2.

Trey Hendrickson • DE • Bengals

Trey Hendrickson Set for Core-Muscle Surgery, Expected to Miss Around Six Weeks

Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson will undergo core-muscle surgery this week that is expected to keep him out for around six weeks, sources tell Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hendrickson initially was injured in the Week 6 game against the Green Bay Packers and then aggravated his injury two weeks later against the New York Jets. The 31-year-old All-Pro has been out ever since and will now miss the remainder of the 2025 regular season. His injury was not improving despite rest and rehab. Hendrickson was a massive disappointment for fantasy managers who selected him in IDP leagues. The four-time Pro Bowler will finish with only four sacks, 16 tackles (11 solo), and a forced fumble in seven games this year after back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons for the Bengals in 2023 and 2024. Cincy will be hoping Hendrickson can return to his pre-injury form in 2026.

Keaton Mitchell Considered Day-to-Day With Knee Injury

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that running back Keaton Mitchell (knee) is considered day-to-day following his knee injury in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Harbaugh called it good news on Mitchell, but his status for a crucial Week 15 divisional contest against the Cincinnati Bengals probably won't be determined until later this week. Before the injury, the 23-year-old carried the ball six times on Sunday for a season-high 76 yards. He was not targeted in the passing game. Mitchell has seen his opportunities increase in recent weeks with Justice Hill (neck) on Injured Reserve, but he continues to share change-of-pace duties with Rasheen Ali behind starter Derrick Henry. If Mitchell isn't cleared to play in Week 15, Ali will get additional snaps to spell Henry in a plus matchup against Cincinnati.

Anthony Richardson Sr. Won't Come Off Injured Reserve This Week

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said on Monday that quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) will not be activated from Injured Reserve this week, according to Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan. Richardson's status is suddenly worth watching now that starter Daniel Jones is out for the rest of the season after tearing his Achilles in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Rookie Riley Leonard (knee) replaced Jones in Week 14, but now he's up in the air to play in Week 15 on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks due to a knee injury. Indy is hoping that Leonard can play, but if he can't, Brett Rypien would be forced into making his first NFL start since 2023 with the Los Angeles Rams. Richardson underwent orbital surgery after a resistance band snapped and hit him in the face before a game back in mid-October. He's in danger of missing the rest of the year.

Omarion Hampton Officially Activated From Injured Reserve

The Los Angeles Chargers officially activated running backs Omarion Hampton (ankle) and Hassan Haskins (hamstring) from Injured Reserve and onto the 53-man active roster for Monday night's game against the visiting Philadelphia Eagles. Hampton was considered questionable to return from IR. The 22-year-old first-rounder will be active for the first time since fracturing his left ankle back in Week 5. Before getting hurt, Hampton had 66 rushing attempts for 314 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and two rushing touchdowns in his first five NFL games, adding 20 receptions for 136 yards. The North Carolina alum should eventually be the Bolts' lead back, but after his long layoff, the Chargers are expected to go with more of a timeshare between Hampton and Kimani Vidal on Monday night. Hampton will be more of a shaky RB3/flex in fantasy football against a tough Eagles defense in his return to the gridiron.

Ravens Want to Get DeAndre Hopkins More Involved

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said on Monday that the team needs to get veteran wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins more involved on offense, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. In a tough 27-22 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers to give up a share of first place in the AFC North division, Hopkins was unable to catch his only target on Sunday. The 13 snaps that the 33-year-old veteran played in Week 14 were his lowest snap total since Week 10. Instead, the Ravens leaned more on receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, and tight ends Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews. It will be hard to trust Harbaugh's word going into Baltimore's Week 15 divisional clash against the Cincinnati Bengals, even though the matchup is a juicy one. Hopkins hasn't had more than four targets in a game in 2025 and hasn't found the end zone since Week 2.

Drake London Considered Day-to-Day Going into Thursday Night

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said on Monday that wide receiver Drake London (knee) is day-to-day as the team begins preparations for their contest on Thursday Night Football in Week 15 against the division-rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. London has not practiced or played since suffering a PCL sprain in his knee in Week 11. It sounds as though the 24-year-old wideout is making progress, but on a short week, London could still be on the wrong side of questionable to make his return. He will need to get back on the practice field before Thursday's contest. Fantasy managers still playing for something in Week 15 need to be prepared to be without Atlanta's top wideout for another week. With London sidelined, tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. has benefited the most, catching 13 of 18 targets the last two weeks for 172 yards.

Jayden Daniels • QB • Commanders

No Long-Term Concerns for Jayden Daniels

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that doctors examined quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) on Monday and said there are no long-term concerns after he aggravated his dislocated left elbow in the Week 14 loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to John Keim of ESPN. Daniels has soreness in his elbow, but there is no update yet as to whether the second-year signal-caller will be available to play in Week 15 against the division-rival New York Giants. Quinn said after Sunday's loss that the 24-year-old Daniels could have gone back into the game, but he decided to leave him out in a blowout. It's fair to wonder why the Commanders would even risk playing Daniels while they are well out of playoff contention. Daniels went 9-for-20 passing for 78 yards, no touchdowns, and a pick in his first game since Week 9, adding 16 rushing yards on four carries. Veteran Marcus Mariota would start this weekend if the Commanders decide Daniels needs more time off.

MRI Confirms Season-Ending Torn ACL for Zach Ertz

An MRI exam on Monday confirmed that Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (knee) suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the Week 14 shutout loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's tough news for the 35-year-old veteran, who will finish his 13th year in the NFL with 50 receptions on 72 targets for 504 yards and four touchdowns in 13 starts in his second year with the Commanders. Fantasy managers can safely drop Ertz now. Ben Sinnott will be the best bet for most of the targets as the team's top pass-catching TE with Ertz done for the year, although he will be sharing snaps with John Bates and Colson Yankoff. At best, Sinnott will be a low-end TE2 streamer for fantasy managers in deeper leagues in Week 15 when Washington battles the division-rival New York Giants on the road.
