New Orleans Saints wide receiver Devaughn Vele (shoulder) exited during the fourth quarter of the team's 20-17 win over the Carolina Panthers. Vele left the game due to a shoulder injury after hauling in five catches for 69 yards on six targets. The 28-year-old was spotted after the game with his left arm in a sling, reported by Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football. With Vele in a sling, it will leave his availability in Week 16 against the New York Jets will be up in the air. Vele's status will become clearer when the Saints resume team practice on Wednesday.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) had an MRI which showed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee late in the Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mahomes and the team are exploring surgical options. QB Gardner Minshew is expected to take over the starting quarterback to finish the season.

Fantasy Spin: The news goes from bad to worse for the Chiefs, who were eliminated from the playoffs, and now this. The timetable for Mahomes' return is uncertain, but it's likely training camp and preseason will be unlikely, and the start of the 2026 season could also be in danger for Mahomes, since this injury occurred so late in the season.

Tennessee Titans S Xavier Woods (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury and he did not return.

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.

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.

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Fantasy Spin: Adams went up for a reception, and immediately grabbed at the back of his leg after falling to the turf. Since he left for the locker room late in the game, it's likely we've seen the last of him for Week 15. When healthy, he remains a WR1 due to his touchdown-scoring ability. We'll provide more details when they become available.

Green Bay Packers defensive lineman Micah Parsons (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest due to a knee injury. The superstar defensive lineman suffered this injury in the third quarter. This was a non-contact injury, and he needed assistance to walk off the field. Before exiting, Parsons tallied two tackles with one sack. For the remainder of the game, fantasy managers should expect Kingsley Enagbare and Lukas Van Ness to see an increase in snaps on the defensive line.

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.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) has been ruled out for the remainder of their contest against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury. Watson sustained this injury in the third quarter when attempting to catch a pass from Jordan Love, which was eventually intercepted by Patrick Surtain II. Before suffering this injury, the former first-round pick brought in just three of his five targets for 29. Fantasy managers should keep a close eye on his status leading up to a critical divisional tilt in Week 16 against the Chicago Bears. Managers should expect Jayden Reed and Romeo Doubs to take on lead duties in the passing attack with rookie Matthew Golden moving up to the No. 3 role for the remainder of Sunday's game.

Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster went without a reception on one target in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Marvin Mims Jr. (concussion) has returned to Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers. Mims was being evaluated for a potential concussion but was able to quickly return to action. With rookie Pat Bryant (hamstring) unable to suit up this weekend, Mims is expected to continue to operate as the team's No. 3 WR behind Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. Mims immediately made an impact after returning, tallying a nine-yard reception on their scoring drive in the third quarter, which ended with Sutton bringing a 14-yard TD pass from Bo Nix.

From RotoBaller

Tennessee Titans rookie tight end Gunnar Helm (toe) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest. The rookie tight end sustained this injury in the second half. Before exiting the contest, Helm was enjoying a strong start to the game, bringing in both of his targets for 38 yards and a score. His TD reception came on a 34-yard strike from fellow rookie Cameron Ward in the second frame. While he remains sidelined, managers should expect Chig Okonkwo to log the majority of snaps at the tight end position and see an uptick in targets.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury. Green Bay's top pass catcher sustained this injury in the third quarter when attempting to catch a pass that was eventually intercepted by Denver defensive back Patrick Surtain II. Before exiting, Watson brought in three of his five targets for just 29 yards. Leading up to this game, Watson was enjoying a strong stretch of play, averaging 18.4 PPR points from Weeks 11 through 14. Fantasy managers should expect Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, and Matthew Golden to operate as the top WRs while Watson remains sidelined.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce registered seven receptions for a game-high 70 yards on nine targets in Week 16 against the Los Angeles Chargers.

Fantasy Spin: Kelce's catch and yardage total was his highest since Week 11 when he had season bests with nine receptions and 91 yards with a touchdown on 13 targets. Kelce looked like a TE1 in fantasy leagues, at least for those in PPR leagues, but his short-term fantasy outlook is a bit cloudy with Patrick Mahomes exiting with a knee injury. Mahomes needs an MRI, and the Chiefs were eliminated. It's possible Kelce could have Gardner Minshew throwing to him in Week 16 and beyond.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs caught three of four targets for 26 yards in a Week 15 loss to the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Spin: It's the third straight game with three or fewer receptions and less than 30 yards for Diggs. He's topped 100 yards three times this season but just once in the last nine weeks with seven games under 50 yards. If Diggs hadn't lost his spot in most fantasy lineups by now, he should probably be on the bench going forward.

From TheHuddle

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson totaled over 150 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. On the ground, the second-round pick out of Ohio State took 14 attempts for 148 yards and two scores. Both of his touchdowns came on long rushes for 52 yards and 65 yards, respectively. Through the air, Henderson brought in two of his three targets for an additional 13 yards. Even though Henderson ceded six carries and three targets to Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson still operated as the lead back and flashed much higher upside. Managers should continue to view the rookie as a high-end must-start RB2 in all formats, even if he continues to share opportunities with Stevenson, ahead of a tilt against the Ravens in Week 16
