Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (knee, hamstring) was listed on Monday's practice report as a non-participant, per John Boyle of Seahawks.com. Adams was forced to exit early from the Rams' Week 15 win over the Detroit Lions due to a hamstring injury. Los Angeles did not actually hold a practice on Monday, so Monday's report is an estimation of his status leading into the team's Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night. Across 14 games this season, Adams has hauled in 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. If he's unable to play in Week 16, Rams wideouts Konata Mumpfield and Tutu Atwell could see increased roles. Los Angeles tight end Colby Parkinson, who caught two touchdowns against Detroit, could also continue to see more targets.

Across 14 games this season, Green Bay Packers running back Emanuel Wilson has recorded 441 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns on 103 touches. The 26-year-old is the primary RB2 in Green Bay behind star Packers running back Josh Jacobs. Wilson has logged just 27 yards from scrimmage on nine touches over the last three weeks, demonstrating his limited standalone fantasy value. However, Jacobs has been on the injury report for several weeks due to a lingering knee issue, and Wilson would be in a position to boost his production if Jacobs were to miss time. In the one game Jacobs has already missed this season, Wilson recorded 28 carries for 107 yards and two touchdowns against the Minnesota Vikings. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where he remains available, Wilson could be a player worth targeting on the waiver wire in case Jacobs suffers an injury.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz had a big game in his team's Week 15 win over the Arizona Cardinals, recording eight receptions for 76 yards and a touchdown on nine targets. Over his last nine games, Schultz is earning 7.3 targets per contest. While he's not an explosive player, Schultz's proven target-earning ability gives him a relatively safe production floor for fantasy managers. He's racked up at least 11 PPR fantasy points in five out of the last seven weeks. Houston will host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 16 before traveling to Los Angeles to take on the Chargers in Week 17. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams. Schultz is a viable streaming option for managers in need of tight end help to target on the waiver wire.

Across 14 games this season, San Francisco 49ers running back Brian Robinson Jr. has recorded 349 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 81 carries. The 26-year-old has spent the entirety of the 2025 season in a backup role behind star 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey. Robinson Jr. has yet to record double-digit carries in a game in 2025 and has just seven receptions on the season, so his standalone fantasy value is limited. However, if McCaffrey were to suffer an injury, Robinson Jr. would immediately become a viable starting fantasy running back. He's proven he can succeed in a lead-back role in the past, racking up 799 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 187 carries across 14 games with the Washington Commanders in 2024. In fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams, Robinson Jr. is worth rostering just in case McCaffrey goes down.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden has mostly had an underwhelming rookie season to this point, recording 27 catches for 341 yards on 37 targets across 11 games. The 22-year-old has not played more than 37% of Green Bay's offensive snaps in any game since Week 8. However, Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) suffered a chest injury in Week 15 that has his status for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Chicago Bears in question. If Watson is sidelined, Golden could have an opportunity for increased playing time. In Week 15, three of Golden's four targets and two of his three receptions came after Watson exited the game. In PPR fantasy leagues with 12 or more teams where Golden remains available, he should be added off the waiver wire and stashed until more information is known about Watson's injury status.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee) underwent successful ACL surgery in Dallas on Monday. Mahomes went under the knife with Dr. Dan Cooper to repair a torn left ACL that he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He'll immediately begin the rehab process, and his timetable to return is unknown right now. The 30-year-old is obviously out for the rest of this season and faces an uphill battle to be ready for the beginning of the 2026 campaign. In his absence, Gardner Minshew will take over under center for the final three games of the regular season with the Chiefs officially eliminated from playoff contention. With Mahomes out the rest of the way, KC's offensive weapons need to be downgraded in fantasy football.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot) could be in danger of missing more time down the stretch. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Odunze is currently considered week-to-week. The second-year wideout missed his second straight game in Week 15 due to a stress fracture in his foot. The organization is keeping all options on the table in the final three weeks of the regular season. The Bears will likely need to lean on DJ Moore, Luther Burden III (ankle), and Olamide Zaccheaus over the next few games if Odunze misses more time. It seems unlikely that Odunze will be ready in time for the upcoming Week 16 rematch with the Green Bay Packers. Fantasy managers should stay tuned for updates, but they need another option lined up in case Odunze sits out another game.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was unproductive during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, tying his season low with one target in the defeat. The third-year wideout has hit a slump over the last few weeks. Boutte hasn't surpassed 35 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. The good news is that Boutte is heading into a plus matchup against the Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 16. The expectation is that the Patriots should have more success passing the ball in that one. Boutte isn't a high-end streaming option, but he should offer deep-league appeal in a flex spot. He has hauled in six touchdowns and is one of the better red-zone threats in this offense. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back outing from the 23-year-old this weekend.

Miami Dolphins rookie running back Ollie Gordon II (ankle) is considered questionable to return to Monday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The rookie back suffered an ankle injury during the second quarter of this contest when he was tackled for a loss in the backfield and got his leg caught awkwardly underneath him. He limped off the field with the help of the training staff. Before exiting, Gordon had rushed the ball twice for no gain. His absence should mean an expanded role for backup Jaylen Wright. Lead back De'Von Achane figures to see a slightly larger role in the backfield as well.

Washington Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota will remain under center for the rest of the regular season after the team officially shut down Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the final three games. Mariota has started seven games this season and has posted top-10 fantasy value in three of them. The 32-year-old had a less-than-ideal outing versus the New York Giants on Sunday, throwing for 211 yards with a touchdown while rushing the ball 10 times for 43 yards on the ground. He doesn't have the strongest arm, but his dual-threat ability gives Mariota streaming appeal the rest of the way. He'll head into a challenging matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. Mariota should still offer superflex value as a QB2 in a difficult home matchup.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Jacoby Brissett has quietly been putting together strong numbers since taking over as the starting QB in Week 6. Since he took over for the injured Kyler Murray (foot), Brissett has thrown at least two touchdowns in every game except one. The 33-year-old has surpassed 300 passing yards in three of his last five contests. Brissett is posting strong numbers in this pass-heavy Cardinals offense. It has helped that the Cardinals have been playing from behind quite often, forcing Brissett to pass frequently. Fantasy managers in need of a streaming option for Week 16 should take a hard look at Brissett. He'll draw a plus matchup against the Atlanta Falcons defense this weekend. Brissett has been posting nearly top-10 QB numbers every week since he took over under center, and he is a viable option for fantasy managers in need of help.

The Denver Broncos placed safety Brandon Jones (pectoral) on Injured Reserve on Monday, according to Aric DiLalla of DenverBroncos.com. Jones will be forced to miss the final three regular-season games and the first postseason game for Denver after he was injured in Sunday's 34-26 win over the visiting Green Bay Packers in Week 15. It's a notable loss for the Broncos in their secondary to close out the regular season, but thankfully for Denver, they've already clinched a playoff spot. With Jones out for at least the next four games, Devon Key will be the team's starting free safety, beginning this Sunday against the visiting Jacksonville Jaguars. The 27-year-old Jones is in his sixth year in the NFL (second with Denver) in 2025, and he has 78 tackles (43 solo), half a sack, one interception, seven pass breakups, and a fumble recovery in 14 games.

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams (hamstring), who left Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions with a hamstring injury, is considered week-to-week, sources told Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's an aggravation of a previous injury he was dealing with, but Rapoport writes that it will almost certainly "knock him out" for Thursday night's big divisional clash against the Seattle Seahawks. The Rams aren't ruling out the 32-year-old veteran just yet for Week 16, but unfortunately, fantasy managers in their league's semifinal matchup probably won't have him available this week. The six-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro currently leads the NFL with 14 touchdown receptions in 14 games in his first year in L.A., so it will be a big loss for the Rams' offense if he's out. Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington will have bigger roles behind Puka Nacua, as will tight end Colby Parkinson, who had two touchdowns in Week 15.

Buffalo Bills head coach Sean McDermott said that the 21-day practice window for wide receiver Mecole Hardman (calf) could be opened this week, according to Chris Brown of BuffaloBills.com. Hardman is eligible to be activated to the 53-man roster from Injured Reserve for the team's Week 16 contest against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday. The 27-year-old has been on IR since Nov. 20 and has already missed the required four games. Even if he returns to practice this week, it won't be a lock that Hardman will be active this weekend against the Browns. And when Hardman returns to action, he'll probably only contribute on special teams as a kick returner. He's only been active for one game for the Bills this year and has no catches on one target.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Roman Wilson will be a healthy inactive for the Monday Night Football game against the visiting Miami Dolphins in Week 15, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. It's the second straight game that Wilson will sit on the sidelines without dealing with an injury. It coincides with the team picking up veteran Adam Thielen for WR depth behind DK Metcalf and Calvin Austin III. The 24-year-old former third-rounder in 2024 has only 12 receptions on the year on 21 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns in 12 games in his second year in the NFL. In addition to Thielen, the Steelers have added veteran wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling to their active roster, pushing Wilson further down the WR depth chart in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren (illness), who was a late addition to the Week 15 injury report due to an illness, is officially active for the Monday night game against the visiting Miami Dolphins, according to Teresa Varley of Steelers.com. Fantasy managers can leave the 27-year-old in their starting lineups, but Warren may be spelled a bit more by backfield mate Kenneth Gainwell against Miami. Warren has been Pittsburgh's primary RB all year and is averaging 12.0 half-PPR fantasy points per game on 652 rushing yards and four touchdowns on 159 rushing attempts. He's added 30 receptions for 277 yards and another two scores as a receiver. Warren has a pretty high ceiling as an RB2, as he's had double-digit touches in all 12 of his games in 2025 while averaging 15.8 touches and 77.4 scrimmage yards.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one of the hottest QBs in the league when it matters most for fantasy football managers. Lawrence took advantage of a great matchup against a bad New York Jets defense in Week 15 to go 20-for-32 passing for a season-high 330 yards and five passing touchdowns on Sunday. He added five carries for 51 yards on the ground and a sixth touchdown on the day. Since Week 12, Lawrence has thrown for 1,059 yards, 12 touchdowns, and three interceptions on 119 pass attempts while running for 121 yards and another TD on 17 attempts. In the last five weeks, he's been the QB6 in overall fantasy points as he finally starts to click in head coach Liam Coen's offense. The addition of receiver Jakobi Meyers at the trade deadline has also helped Lawrence. The 26-year-old has become a popular waiver-wire pickup over this stretch. However, he could quickly come back down to Earth with a poor Week 16 matchup on the road in Denver against a strong Broncos defense.

At least in deeper fantasy football leagues, New Orleans Saints running back Audric Estime is worth looking at on waivers going into Week 16 action after rookie RB Devin Neal injured his hamstring in the Week 15 upset win over the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Estime played a season-high 36% of the offensive snaps and split backfield work with Evan Hull after Neal was injured in the second quarter. The 22-year-old handled three carries for 11 yards and also caught all three of his targets for an additional 39 yards. Hull had just one more carry than Estime and wasn't involved at all in the passing game. Estime could be in play as a deep-league RB3/flex option in a great Week 16 matchup against the New York Jets if both Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) and Neal are unable to play. Keep in mind that both rookie quarterback Tyler Shough (team-high eight carries on Sunday) and tight end Taysom Hill could take valuable carries away from both Estime and Hull if Kamara and Neal are out this weekend.

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins was held to just one target for the fifth time this season in Sunday's 40-20 blowout win over the visiting Arizona Cardinals. He caught one pass for a gain of four yards. The 23-year-old has four receptions on six targets for just 38 yards and no touchdowns in the last two games. The last time that Higgins had only one target came on Nov. 2 against the Denver Broncos. Higgins had a streak of five games with at least five targets from Weeks 9 to 14 before seeing just one look from quarterback C.J. Stroud on Sunday. The second-rounder from Iowa State ranks third on the team with 397 receiving yards in 14 games this year, adding four touchdowns. While Higgins has been quiet the last two games, he's a good bet to bounce back with a strong game for fantasy managers in deeper leagues as a flex play in an excellent Week 16 matchup against the last-place Raiders. Higgins is rostered in 43% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available.

The Arizona Cardinals are unsure if running back Bam Knight (ankle) will be able to play in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "Not sure. It's an ankle, though. He was sore today," head coach Jonathan Gannon said when asked if he expects Knight to play this week. The 24-year-old was carted off the field in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans and is believed to be dealing with a "bad sprain." The diagnosis alone should lead fantasy managers to believe that Knight probably won't play in Week 16, especially with the Cardinals eliminated from playoff contention. It wouldn't be a surprise if Knight doesn't play in the final three weeks of the season. James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) are out for the season, so the backfield would be split by Michael Carter and Emari Demercado if Knight is unable to play against Atlanta. We should have a better idea of Knight's Week 16 status in a few days.
