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.

Javonte Williams Returns to Start Second Half on Sunday Night

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (shoulder) returned to the Sunday night game against the Minnesota Vikings for the start of the second half after leaving in the first quarter with a shoulder injury after his one-yard touchdown plunge, according to Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk. After Williams' injury on the first drive of the game, Malik Davis and Hunter Luepke split backfield duties in the second half. Luepke suffered a concussion and was ruled out at halftime, so Williams and Davis will split the touches to close out the game. Dallas added padding under Williams' shoulder pad, and he opened the second half with runs of 15 and three yards. So far, he has eight carries for 31 yards and one touchdown for the Cowboys in a must-win game. His fantasy managers have to be thrilled to see him return in the second half.

Jared Goff Tops 300 Passing Yards, Records Three Touchdowns in Week 15

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff posted huge numbers in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, completing 25 of 41 pass attempts for 338 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Across 14 games this season, the 31-year-old has now completed 69.3% of his pass attempts for 3,672 yards, 29 touchdowns, and five interceptions. With the Lions' defense struggling, Goff has been forced to turn to the air with regularity over the second half of the season. After attempting more than 30 passes in a game just once over the season's first seven weeks, Goff has topped that mark six times over his last seven games. Goff has thrown for at least 250 yards in all seven of those contests. As long as Detroit continues to find itself in pass-heavy game scripts, Goff could continue to have chances to rack up numbers. The Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led his team to a 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, completing 23 of 30 pass attempts for 295 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions.

Purdy has battled multiple injuries so far in 2025, but he seems to be hitting his stride down the stretch of the season. Purdy has completed at least 70% of his pass attempts in three out of his last four starts, leading San Francisco to a 4-0 record and an average of 31 points per game over that stretch. The 49ers will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in Week 16.

James Cook Dominates With Three Touchdowns in Week 15 Win

Buffalo Bills running back James Cook put up a dominant performance in his team's critical Week 15 win over its division rival, the New England Patriots, on Sunday. Cook recorded 22 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns, and two receptions for four yards and a score. The 26-year-old has now racked up 1,686 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 302 touches across 14 games this season.

Travis Etienne Jr. Records Three Receiving Touchdowns in Week 15 Win

Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne Jr. had a huge game in his team's 48-20 Week 15 win over the New York Jets on Sunday. Although the 26-year-old struggled to just 32 rushing yards on 12 carries, he more than made up for it by hauling in three receptions for 73 yards and three touchdowns on four targets. Etienne Jr. has now recorded 1,203 yards from scrimmage and 12 touchdowns on 242 touches across 14 games this season. He's established himself as the clear RB1 in a Jacksonville offense that is hitting its stride down the stretch of the season. Etienne Jr. remains a must-start fantasy running back heading into his Week 16 matchup against the Denver Broncos.

Amon-Ra St. Brown has Monster Game in Week 15

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown had one of the most productive games of his career in his team's Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, recording 13 receptions for 164 yards and two touchdowns on 18 targets. The 26-year-old has now hauled in 94 catches for 1,140 yards and 11 touchdowns on 135 targets across 14 games this season. With tight end Sam LaPorta (back) on IR, the Lions' passing game is now highly concentrated around St. Brown, wide receiver Jameson Williams, and running back Jahmyr Gibbs. In Week 15, those three players earned 34 targets on 41 pass attempts from Lions quarterback Jared Goff. If Detroit's defense continues to struggle and consistently puts the team in pass-heavy game scripts, St. Brown could continue to see a high volume of targets down the stretch of the season. The Lions will host the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16.

Javonte Williams Questionable to Return in Week 15 With Shoulder Injury

Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams (shoulder) is questionable to return to his team's Week 15 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday night due to a shoulder injury, per ESPN's Todd Archer. The 25-year-old recorded six carries for 13 yards and a touchdown before exiting the game. If Williams is unable to return, Malik Davis would be the only remaining running back on the Cowboys' active roster and would likely dominate backfield snaps for the remainder of Week 15. Fullback Hunter Luepke and wide receiver KaVontae Turpin could also handle some rushing work. Williams entered the week with 1,150 scrimmage yards and 11 touchdowns on 248 touches, so his absence would be a big loss for the Dallas offense.

Christian Watson Hospitalized Following Week 15 Due to Chest Injury

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur said that wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) was taken to the hospital for further evaluation on his chest injury following his team's Week 15 loss to the Denver Broncos. Watson recorded three catches for 29 yards on five targets before being forced to exit the game in the third quarter. The 26-year-old missed Green Bay's first six games of the 2025 season while rehabbing a knee injury that ended his 2024 season. Watson has been coming on strong of late, recording five touchdown catches over his last four games coming into Week 15. While the exact severity of Watson's injury is unclear, his status would appear to be up in the air for Green Bay's Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears next Saturday night. If Watson is sidelined, Packers wideouts Romeo Doubs, Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Matthew Golden could all see increased roles. UPDATE: Watson was released from the hospital on Sunday and is flying home with the team.

Rams Pessimistic About Davante Adams' Status for Week 16?

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring) suffered a hamstring injury during the team's 41-34 win over the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Adams exited Sunday's game after reaggravating his left hamstring that he had been managing over the last couple of weeks. The 32-year-old had hauled in four catches for 71 yards on nine targets before exiting the game in the fourth quarter and did not return. Coach Sean McVay sounded pessimistic about Adams' status for Thursday's game against the Seattle Seahawks, then went on to say, "but I certainly wouldn't rule him out quite yet," reported by Stu Jackson of RamsNFL. It is worth noting that the Rams did clinch a playoff spot after their win over the Lions.

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Van Jefferson exited the Titans' Week 15 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers in the second half due to a back injury. Jefferson hauled in one catch for 43 yards on five targets before leaving the game. The 29-year-old has shown flashes this season and has been a reliable target for rookie quarterback Cameron Ward at times during the year. The Titans have already battled injuries this season in their receiver room after losing Calvin Ridley for the season to a leg injury. Jefferson's status for their Week 16 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs will be monitored as the team heads into the next week of practice.

Harold Fannin Jr. Leads Browns Offense in Week 15 Loss

Cleveland Browns rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. hauled in seven of his 14 targets for 48 yards during Sunday's 31-3 loss to the Chicago Bears. For the second straight week, Fannin led the team in receptions and targets, and he had one carry for two yards. The Cleveland offense struggled to gain its footing in Chicago, but the dependable rookie tight end continues to provide fantasy managers with a safe PPR floor. Fannin has a tough matchup against the Buffalo Bills' defense in Week 16, which has allowed the fewest points to tight ends this season. However, with David Njoku (knee) still dealing with an injury, Fannin is postured to remain a focal point and an offense that is engineering touches for him.

Micah Parsons Believed to Have Suffered Torn ACL in Sunday's Loss

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is believed to have suffered a torn ACL and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season and potentially a part of the 2026 season. Parsons sustained this non-contact injury during their Week 15 loss to the Broncos. The Packers acquired Parsons from the Cowboys in a blockbuster deal in the offseason and eventually signed him to a massive four-year $188 million contract. Before exiting Sunday's game, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. Through the first 14 weeks of the season, Parsons tallied 12.5 sacks with 39 total tackles. While sidelined, fantasy managers should expect Lukas Van Nes to see a larger role on the defensive line.

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 Suffers Torn ACL

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.

Puka Nacua Questionable to Return Due to Cramps, Potentially Avoids Injury Scare

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 Officially Active for Sunday Night

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 Exits Sunday's Contest with Hamstring Injury

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.
