Blake Corum Scores for the Third Straight Week, Should not be on Waivers

Los Angeles Rams second-year back out of Michigan, Blake Corum, continues to impress in Week 15, as he scored for a third straight week, and had 11 carries for 71 yards (6.45 YPC) and one touchdown. Corum has now rushed for a ridiculous 280 yards and four touchdowns over the past three weeks. More impressively, he has done it on 30 carries, which is suitable for a 9.33 YPC. Corum is still the clear backup to Kyren Williams, who had 15 carries for 78 yards and two touchdowns in Week 15. Still, the Rams offense, led by MVP candidate Matthew Stafford, is potent enough to score so much that both running backs have fantasy value as we move into the final weeks of the season. At this point, Corum is the top handcuff option in fantasy football and has standalone RB3/flex value even with Williams taking a majority of the carries. The Rams will face stiff competition in Week 16 on Thursday Night Football against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jacory Croskey-Merritt Back on the Fantasy Radar in Week 16?

Washington Commanders rookie running back out of Arizona, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, is officially back on the fantasy football radar as Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) was a game-time decision in Week 15 and was eventually ruled out shortly before the game. Croskey-Merritt, aka Bill, earned 18 carries, which he turned into 98 yards (5.33 yards per tote) and a touchdown in the Commanders' 29-21 win over the New York Giants. JCM looked good running the football, and his score came from 16 yards out. All of a sudden, this Commanders backfield gets a bit shaky after it had finally cleared up for us the past few weeks, with Rodriguez being the only one worth rostering. After JCM's performance in Week 15, the Commanders may want to give JCM some more run after an impressive performance, so if Rodriguez Jr., who had been playing well, returns in Week 16, all of a sudden, we are back to the three-running-back committee of Rodriguez, JCM, and Jeremy McNichols. All of which would become desperate plays in Week 16 of the fantasy football season. Regardless, JCM would be worth a waiver-wire pickup in case Rodriguez can't suit up in Week 16.

Ravens Linebacker Teddye Buchanan Believed to Have Torn ACL

ESPN's senior NFL Insider Adam Schefter reported Monday morning, based on sources, that the belief is that Baltimore Ravens rookie linebacker Teddye Buchanan (knee), the team's second-leading tackler, tore his ACL during Sunday's 24-0 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. Buchanan will undergo additional testing today to confirm the injury; however, it is not a great sign for the Ravens defense, which has been playing better of late since its Week 7 bye. Buchanan is a rookie who has played in all 14 games this season and has 85 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and one forced fumble. Trenton Simpson is his backup and is likely to see additional snaps moving forward. The Ravens (7-7) are sitting in second place in the AFC North and duking it out with the Pittsburgh Steelers (7-6), who are currently sitting atop the division and play the Miami Dolphins (6-7) on Monday Night Football. Once confirmed, Buchanan will begin his rehab process and prepare for the 2026 season.

Michael Carter's Fantasy Value on the Rise After Teammate's Injury

The Arizona Cardinals' running back room got a little thinner after their 40-20 Week 15 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday, as running back Bam Knight (ankle) was carted off the field and did not return. Michael Carter stepped up as the team's primary running back, and after Knight's departure, he had 78% of the backfield carry share, a 10% target share, and got the only carry inside the 10-yard line. He finished the contest with 14 carries for 56 yards (4.0 YPC) and hauled in all four of his targets for an additional 38 yards, and will have fantasy value moving forward, as he appears to be their No. 1 running back option if Knight misses any extra time and would become a must-add off the waiver wire. The Cardinals take on the Atlanta Falcons in Week 16 and the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 17. It will be important to monitor Knight's status, as that will determine Carter's overall value moving forward. Still, Trey Benson (knee) was not activated from the IR on December 10, and because of that, his season is over, leaving Carter as the only healthy option at this time.

T.J. Hockenson Leads Vikings In Receiving

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught four passes on five targets for 66 yards, which led the way for his team in a 34-26 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran tight end appears to be developing a rapport with young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, with whom he connected for a touchdown the week prior. As the Vikings have struggled massively throughout portions of the season, Hockenson has been a fantasy disappointment who still ranks outside the top-20 PPR tight ends. But with Minnesota prioritizing its running game and tight ends in recent weeks, Hockenson will look to continue his strong finish in Week 16 at the New York Giants.

Jalen Nailor • WR • Vikings

Two Touchdowns for Jalen Nailor in Sunday Night Victory

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jalen Nailor found the end zone twice to help his team score a 34-26 victory against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Nailor caught three of five targets for 47 yards and was on the receiving end of both of quarterback J.J. McCarthy's passing touchdowns. The Michigan State product has developed a nice connection with his quarterback, with whom he also connected on a key fourth-down conversion that led to a touchdown later on the same drive. For fantasy purposes, however, Nailor remains a tough sell. The Vikings have raved about Nailor, but as a secondary pass catcher, he's still averaging fewer than two catches per game as Minnesota prepares to play the New York Giants in Week 16.

Justin Jefferson Held To Two Catches At Dallas

For the second straight week, the Minnesota Vikings put together an excellent offensive day with modest output from wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who was held to only two catches in his team's 34-26 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. The Vikings targeted Jefferson a team-high eight times, but the result was two catches for 22 yards. It was a hard-luck night for Jefferson, who caught a touchdown from quarterback J.J. McCarthy that was negated by an illegal formation penalty in the first half, missed out on a would-have-been big play when McCarthy overthrew him in the fourth quarter, and then dropped a touchdown later on the same drive. Managers who survived into Week 16 will see Jefferson in a favorable setting against the New York Giants, yet with just six catches in the past three games, it's getting more and more difficult to trust Minnesota's offense to get Jefferson the ball.

J.J. McCarthy Totals Three Touchdowns in Promising Week 15 Performance

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy delivered another encouraging outing in Sunday night's win over the Dallas Cowboys, completing 15 of 24 passes for 250 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception while adding four carries for 15 yards and another score on the ground. McCarthy threw an interception on his first pass of the game, but he settled in nicely afterwards and had arguably his best game as a pro. McCarthy has established a legitimate connection with Jalen Nailor, as they connected for two scores, while he continues to struggle to get on the same page with top wideout Justin Jefferson. The second-year quarterback has totaled 413 passing yards, 34 rushing yards, and six total touchdowns with one turnover over the past two weeks. McCarthy will look to build on his recent improvement in Week 16 in another great matchup against the New York Giants on the road.

C.J. Stroud Delivers Highly Efficient Three-Touchdown Performance in Win

Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was surgical in Sunday's win over the Arizona Cardinals, completing 22 of 29 passes for 260 yards and three touchdowns while adding six carries for 10 yards on the ground. Stroud threw a 57-yard touchdown to wide receiver Nico Collins on his first throw of the game and continued to operate efficiently for the rest of the game. The 24-year-old signal-caller has played well since returning in Week 13 from a multi-game absence due to a concussion. He's totalled 738 passing yards, four touchdowns, and one interception over that time. Stroud will look to continue his strong stretch of production in a plus Week 16 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders.

Dallas Goedert has Third Two-Touchdown Game on Sunday

For the second straight week, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert made his fantasy managers smile. He caught six of his seven targets for a team-high 70 yards and two touchdowns in the 31-0 blowout win over the visiting Las Vegas Raiders in Week 15. The big performance comes less than a week after the 30-year-old veteran caught eight of 10 targets for 78 yards in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. This was Goedert's third two-touchdown performance in 2025 and his first time finding the end zone since he had two TDs on Oct. 26 against the New York Giants. Both of his trips to paydirt against Vegas came on short goal-line shovel passes from quarterback Jalen Hurts. Like most TEs in the league, Goedert has had his moments of inconsistency, but he's trending up at the right time for fantasy managers, and he'll be a clear TE1 for a juicy Week 16 matchup versus the division-rival Commanders.

Nico Collins Records First Multi-Touchdown Game of the Season

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins recorded three receptions (four targets) for 85 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Collins got the scoring started early for the Texans, hauling in a 57-yard touchdown on the second play from scrimmage. The star wideout joins a crew of legendary wide receivers with three or more seasons recording at least 1,000 receiving yards with the Texans, alongside DeAndre Hopkins and Andre Johnson. The 26-year-old was quiet for most of the game after his long touchdown, but he later connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for a four-yard touchdown with just over three minutes remaining in the game. Collins has been one of the best wide receivers in fantasy football over the second half of the season and will look to stay hot next week against the Las Vegas Raiders.

D'Andre Swift Falls Just Shy of 100 Rushing Yards, Scores Twice in Week 15

The Chicago Bears continued to enforce their will on the ground in Sunday's 31-3 blowout win over the visiting Cleveland Browns on Sunday, and running back D'Andre Swift was a big part of that. The 26-year-old had a team-high 18 rushing attempts for 98 yards while scoring twice on the ground. Swift added only one catch on one target for a loss of two yards. Rookie Kyle Monangai continued to play a key role in Chicago's backfield next to Swift, but he averaged just 3.0 yards on his 11 carries. The Bears leaned on Swift late in the game with a big lead, as he had nine carries for 56 yards in frigid temperatures in Chicago. This was Swift's first multi-touchdown game of the year. He's been a must-start in fantasy lineups with at least 80 scrimmage yards in five of his last six games. However, it could be tough sledding for Swift in a Week 16 rematch with the division-rival Packers. He had 13 carries for 63 yards just last week in the loss to Green Bay.

Josh Jacobs Scores Two Touchdowns in Week 15 Loss

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs has been a touchdown machine this season, and that continued in Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. He handled 12 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown to go with two receptions (three targets) for 19 yards and his first receiving touchdown of the season. Jacobs entered the game as a game-time decision with a knee injury, but he showed no signs of being affected by it. He recorded just the second receiving touchdown of his career, and it came on an impressive contested catch in the corner of the end zone. The 27-year-old running back notched his fourth game with multiple touchdowns and seventh since joining the Packers last season. Jacobs remains one of the most steady workhorses in fantasy football and projects as a strong RB1 next week against the division-rival Chicago Bears.

Jaxson Dart has Another Injury Scare, Throws Two Touchdowns in Loss

New York Giants rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart came out of the team's bye to throw for 246 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception on 20-for-36 passing in Sunday's 29-21 loss to the Washington Commanders. Dart added nine rushing attempts for 63 yards on the ground and was sacked one time for a loss of eight yards. The 22-year-old dual-threat signal-caller was checked for a concussion yet again after already missing two games due to a head injury, but thankfully, he was cleared to re-enter the game. Fantasy managers have to like what they've seen from Dart in his first NFL season due to his abilities with his arm and his legs, but Sunday's game was the fifth time already in 2025 that he's been checked for a concussion. The risk/reward with Dart is very real because of his willingness to put his body in harm's way. The Ole Miss product will once again have clear QB1 upside in Week 16 versus the Vikings.

Jameson Williams • WR • Lions

Jameson Williams has Fourth 100-Yard Game in Sunday's Loss to Rams

As expected, it was a shootout on Sunday between the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams in Week 15. Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had his fourth 100-yard game and his second such performance in the last three games, catching seven of his nine targets for 134 yards and a touchdown in the 41-34 loss. The 24-year-old nearly had 100 receiving yards in last week's win over the Dallas Cowboys, and he had a season-high 144 yards and a touchdown the week prior in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers. Since the team's Week 8 bye, Williams has really come on strong, averaging 95.3 receiving yards. Quarterback Jared Goff attempted a whopping 41 passes on Sunday as the Lions were forced to keep up with the high-scoring Rams offense. Williams could easily threaten for another 100-yard game in Week 16 against a Steelers secondary that has had its fair share of issues in 2025.

Josh Allen Throws Three Touchdowns in Week 15 Comeback Victory

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen staged yet another comeback victory on Sunday against the division-rival New England Patriots, completing 19 of 28 passes for 193 yards and three touchdowns while adding 11 carries for 48 yards as a runner. Allen and the Bills punted on their first three drives and spotted the Patriots a 21-0 lead in the first half, but the reigning MVP then led five consecutive touchdown drives as the Bills stormed back to win 35-31. The superstar quarterback found tight end Dawson Knox for two touchdowns and running back James Cook for the other. Allen has now compiled 444 passing yards, 126 rushing yards, and seven total touchdowns with zero turnovers in the past two games, building a legitimate case to repeat as the league's MVP. Allen will profile as the overall QB1 in fantasy football again in Week 16 against the Cleveland Browns.

Jalen Hurts Bounces Back in Week 15 Rout of the Raiders

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts turned the ball over five times in last week's Monday night loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, but he bounced back in a big way in a favorable Week 15 matchup on Sunday against the visiting Las Vegas Raiders. Hurts only attempted 15 passes in the 31-0 rout, but he completed 12 of them for 175 yards and three touchdown passes. The 27-year-old signal-caller added seven carries for 39 yards on the ground. He was sacked only once for a loss of four yards. Two of Hurts' touchdown passes were short dump-offs to tight end Dallas Goedert, with his third passing TD coming to receiver A.J. Brown on a 27-yard hookup. It hasn't always been pretty in 2025, but Hurts now has 22 touchdown passes, eight rushing TDs, and six interceptions in 15 games. He has been a top-five fantasy QB and has another plus matchup for the fantasy semifinals in most leagues in Week 16 versus the division-rival Commanders.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. Scores as a Runner and Receiver in Week 15

New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. did it all on Sunday in his team's 29-21 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders in Week 15. Tracy suffered what looked like a serious hip injury in the Week 13 loss to the New England Patriots, but he had the Week 14 bye to recover, and he quickly proved this weekend that he's still New York's lead back when healthy. The 26-year-old had a team-high 15 carries for 70 yards (4.7 yards per carry) and a touchdown while adding three catches on three targets for 27 yards and another score. Backfield mate Devin Singletary had only six touches for 14 scrimmage yards. Tracy rewarded fantasy managers who were bold enough to start him this week with his first trips to the end zone since Week 7. Going into a Week 16 matchup against the Vikings, Tracy will profile as an RB2 in the fantasy semifinals as the Giants' clear RB1.

RJ Harvey Scores 10th Touchdown of Rookie Season in Week 15 Victory

Denver Broncos rookie running back RJ Harvey had another high-volume day in a 34-26 victory over the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Knowing this would be a challenging matchup for Harvey to excel in, he still put up 65 yards on 19 carries, one touchdown, and one lost fumble. The most surprising statistic is that Harvey saw just one target in the passing game after averaging over four per game in the past five matchups. The Packers keyed heavily on Harvey in this game, but he still found a way to get into the endzone for the 10th touchdown of his rookie season. Harvey will try to find more efficiency against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey Scores First Touchdown of the Season in Week 15

Denver Broncos wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey had his best game of the season in the 34-26 victory against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. Since Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) was out for Week 15, Humphrey had more opportunities and filled in efficiently with three catches on four targets for 42 yards and a touchdown. This marks Humphrey's first touchdown of the season, as he has only seen the field for seven games so far in 2025. If Bryant is ruled out again, Humphrey might see more opportunities again, but will remain a dart-throw option as the Broncos host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 16.
