New York Jets rookie tight end Mason Taylor (neck) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice due to a neck injury, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Taylor apparently injured his neck in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins and could be in danger of missing the Week 15 game this Sunday versus the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 21-year-old led the Jets with five catches for 51 yards in Week 14. His 51 yards were the most he's had since catching a season-high nine passes on 12 targets for 67 yards back on Oct. 5 against the Dallas Cowboys. The second-round selection hasn't had much of a chance to be productive for fantasy managers in one of the worst passing offenses in the league. Taylor is the TE26 in half-PPR scoring in 2025 with 44 catches, 369 yards, and only one touchdown. He won't be a realistic starting option in most leagues in Week 15 if he's active, especially if undrafted rookie quarterback Brady Cook is forced to start.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney was limited to just one catch on four targets for six yards this past week, his fifth one-catch performance of the season in 11 games played. The 28-year-old has had an opportunity to become the team's top receiver with Drake London (knee) missing the last three weeks due to injury, however, that role appears to have been occupied by tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. The 5-foot-11 wideout played on just 77 percent of the team's offensive snaps in Week 14, while David Sills V logged 94 percent and the aforementioned Pitts totaled 92 percent. The veteran will have another chance to carve out an expanded role in Week 15 versus the Buccaneers on Thursday Night Football, with London ruled out again and against a pass defense that is middle of the road in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers, but a unit that has yielded the sixth-most yards in the NFL through the air this season. For what it's worth, Mooney had a touchdown reception overturned last week because he stepped on the sideline before securing the pass, which could have been his second touchdown in the last three games despite the limited volume. Still, considering the situation at quarterback and Mooney's inability to garner sufficient targets, he falls outside the WR3 range this week, making him more of a boom/bust Flex play on TNF.

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Wednesday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Leonard was considered week-to-week after suffering a Grade 1 PCL sprain in his knee following Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but a full practice on Wednesday suggests he has a real chance to play in Week 15 against the Seattle Seahawks. Daniel Jones suffered a season-ending torn Achilles on Sunday, prompting the Colts to sign 44-year-old QB Philip Rivers for insurance at the position. Anthony Richardson Sr. (eye) remains on Injured Reserve. It's unclear at this point whether it'll be Leonard or Rivers under center this weekend, and the Colts don't plan to make up their mind until later this week. Either way, Indy's offense takes a hit. Expect a lot of hand-offs to star running back Jonathan Taylor.

The Houston Texans have opened the practice windows for tight end Harrison Bryant (neck) and wide receiver Justin Watson (Achilles, calf). Bryant and Watson both returned to practice on Wednesday and could suit up on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, depending on how they do in practice this week. The 27-year-old Bryant should slide back in alongside Cade Stover as the Texans' primary backup tight ends behind Dalton Schultz. Bryant played 25.7% of the snaps on offense and recorded two catches for seven yards on six targets over eight games before his injury. Watson played in the first two games this season before being placed on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old had a role in the offense, playing 49.1% of the snaps and hauling in three of his four targets for 30 yards. It remains to be seen how he'll be integrated back into the offense with the emergence of rookie Jayden Higgins in recent weeks. Neither Bryant nor Watson profiles as a fantasy option worth considering in most leagues.

Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson put up solid numbers on the ground in Week 14, rushing 20 times for 86 yards, however, he caught just two passes for eight yards and did not score. Despite getting down big in the second half, Kirk Cousins targeted the 2024 Pro Bowler just two times, which was as many targets as Tyler Allgeier received, while Dylan Drummond and David Sills V combined for nine targets. Robinson was averaging over six targets per game with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) under center, but has seen that total drop to just over three targets per contest with Cousins, which has lowered his fantasy floor at the worst possible time for fantasy managers. Even so, on Thursday night, the 23-year-old faces a Buccaneers defense that has been easier to run on than they have been in recent years despite the presence of run-stuffing Vita Vea, yielding the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season, along with allowing a league-worst 53.9 receiving yards per game to opposing backs. The University of Texas product will again be a high-end RB1 in Week 15, with plenty of upside if Cousins can direct a few more passes his way instead of the less explosive supporting cast.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle, knee) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, ESPN's Alaina Getzenberg reports. Palmer has missed the past two games with injuries to his knee and ankle, in addition to missing several games earlier in the season. The 26-year-old hasn't been an impactful fantasy football option when he has played, recording 18 receptions for 272 yards on 29 targets in eight games. The former Los Angeles Chargers wideout appears to be trending in the right direction for a return in Week 15 against the New England Patriots, but he should only be considered a fantasy option in the deepest of leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Kenny Pickett is set to make his first start of the season in Week 15 against the Philadelphia Eagles, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Pickett entered in relief of Geno Smith (shoulder) in the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos, and Smith is considered unlikely to start this Sunday in Philadelphia. Pickett stepped in and completed eight of 11 pass attempts for 97 yards and a touchdown after Smith left in the second half. The former first-round pick in 2022 is set to make his first start since Week 17 last season with the Eagles against the Dallas Cowboys. He completed 10 of 15 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game with a rib injury. He'll project as a low-end QB2 option for fantasy managers in superflex leagues in a tough road matchup if he's under center in potential inclement weather in Philly.

Houston Texans rookie running back Woody Marks (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Marks was listed as a non-participant in practice last Wednesday before practicing on Thursday and Friday and suiting up for the Week 14 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. The rookie fourth-rounder has operated as the Texans' clear lead back over the past five games, playing 71.1% of the snaps and averaging 20 touches per game during that span. Marks hasn't been efficient as a runner with just a 3.4 yards per carry as the workhorse, but he's earned the upper hand in the Texans' backfield ahead of veteran Nick Chubb, who also missed Wednesday's practice due to a rib injury. Marks' practice status will continue to be monitored this week ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, but if he's active, he'll be firmly in play as an RB2 in fantasy in a strong matchup.

Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (rib) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Chubb could be in danger of missing the Week 15 matchup with the Arizona Cardinals after injuring his rib during the second quarter of the Texans' win over the Chiefs on Sunday night. The former Cleveland Browns running back has taken a back seat to rookie Woody Marks in recent weeks, playing just 21.4% of the snaps with 24 carries for 117 yards and a touchdown over the past five games. Marks could see an even bigger workload in Week 15 against the Cardinals if Chubb is ruled out, with Dare Ogunbowale likely to mix in more frequently as well. Fantasy managers shouldn't be planning on starting Chubb, anyway, even if he gains clearance to play in Week 15.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) has returned to practice on Wednesday, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. St. Brown didn't practice at all last week after spraining his ankle in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the Green Bay Packers in Week 13, but the 26-year-old ended up suiting up in last Thursday's win over the Dallas Cowboys. St. Brown had a gutsy performance in the 44-30 win, in which he caught six of his nine targets for 92 yards. His matchup will be a lot tougher this weekend against the Los Angeles Rams, but the Sun God should also be healthier after 10 days of rest. Even if St. Brown is at less than 100 percent on Sunday, he should be considered a must-start in all fantasy football lineups. He ranks as the WR4 in half-PPR points this year and has posted 90-plus receiving yards in five games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Jalen McMillan (neck) was limited in practice all week and is officially listed as questionable to play in Week 15 against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, according to the Tampa Bay Times' Rick Stroud. The Bucs' offense is getting healthy at the right time, with both McMillan and Mike Evans (collarbone) activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday. However, they are both up in the air to be active on Thursday. The 24-year-old McMillan fractured bones in his neck and sustained ligament damage during the preseason, so he'll most likely be eased back into the offense if he's active this week. McMillan finished his rookie season strong in 2024, but he's returning to a very crowded WR room that includes Evans, Chris Godwin Jr., and rookies Emeka Egbuka and Tez Johnson. For now, McMillan is merely a stash option in deeper fantasy leagues.

Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Geno Smith (shoulder), who is dealing with a right-shoulder injury, is unlikely to start on Sunday on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 15, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Smith will not practice on Wednesday after injuring his right shoulder in the Week 14 loss to the Denver Broncos on Sunday. Smith's injury puts Kenny Pickett in line to start this weekend against his former team. The severity of the 35-year-old's shoulder injury is unclear. Smith has been one of the worst starting QBs in the NFL in 2025 in his first year in Vegas, completing 67% of his pass attempts for 2,648 yards, 16 touchdowns, and a league-leading 14 interceptions in 13 starts. He's also been sacked a league-high 49 times. If Pickett comes in and plays well, it wouldn't be a surprise if Smith is benched for the final three games.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) was limited in practice all week and is officially questionable to play on Thursday night against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons in Week 15, according to Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times. Evans was activated from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, though, and head coach Todd Bowles said that the 32-year-old future Hall of Famer has done everything he's needed to do to be active this week for the first time since breaking his collarbone in Week 7. The veteran pass-catcher has yet to take contact in practice, though, so he's iffy to play on Thursday night. But the Bucs are desperate for a win as they seek to stay atop the NFC South division. Evans needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues, but he'll be a pretty shaky starting option if he's active while being at risk of limited snaps in his first game back.

New York Giants interim head coach Mike Kafka said that running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. (hip) is "good to go" for the Week 15 game this Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders after suffering a hip injury in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots before the Week 14 bye, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Tracy suffered a bruised hip in Week 13 and had to be carted off the field, but he's back at practice on Wednesday and should be active in D.C. The 26-year-old's presence this weekend in New York's backfield will be bad news for fantasy managers who picked up Singletary, hoping that he'd operate as the Giants' clear lead back. Tracy and Singletary could end up sharing touches down the middle on Sunday, making them both RB3/flex options in fantasy lineups. Tracy has seen double-digit carries in each of the last four games, but he has just one touchdown on the year (back on Oct. 19).

Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer said on Wednesday that wide receiver CeeDee Lamb (concussion) is "progressing nicely" and has "one or two" more things left to clear the league's concussion protocol, according to Tommy Yarrish of DallasCowboys.com. Lamb will probably be listed as limited on the team's injury report on Wednesday, but he was seen going through drills despite suffering a concussion in last Thursday night's loss to the Detroit Lions. Until the 26-year-old is officially cleared from concussion protocol, he'll be considered questionable to play on Sunday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings. However, as of now, it's looking like he's on the right side of questionable. Ryan Flournoy went off for nine catches, 115 yards, and a touchdown on 13 targets in Week 14 with Lamb injured, making him a popular speculative waiver-wire pickup if Lamb doesn't gain clearance to play this weekend. If Lamb is active, he'll be a must-start in all fantasy lineups in Week 15.

Washington Commanders head coach Dan Quinn said that the team is not talking about shutting down quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) for the year, according to Tom Schad of Post Sports. Daniels has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants after aggravating his left elbow during last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings in his first game since dislocating his elbow in Week 9. The second-year quarterback is expected to play again this season, as the injury is not considered to be a long-term issue, but the possibility that Daniels doesn't return this season appears more likely now. The reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year's sophomore season has been overshadowed by injury, as he also missed two games to a knee injury and one game to a hamstring injury before his elbow issue. Marcus Mariota is set to make his seventh start of the year in Week 15 versus the Giants at MetLife Stadium.

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated reports. Jacobs was the lone Packers player not participating in Wednesday's practice session. The veteran was seen riding a bike and doing rehab work off to the side as practice began. It's not a great sign for the 28-year-old to open the week, but the team is likely just giving him a rest day. The 28-year-old missed Green Bay's Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings after injuring his knee in Week 11 against the New York Giants, but he returned for the Packers' past two games and handled his normal workload. If Jacobs winds up missing the Week 15 game versus the Denver Broncos, Emanuel Wilson would be in line to make another spot start. Jacobs is a must-start in fantasy lineups when active.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is not practicing on Wednesday, per ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Jackson has now missed at least one day of practice for the fifth straight week as he has been limited by ankle, knee, and toe ailments over the last few weeks after missing multiple games with a hamstring injury earlier in the year. The star quarterback hasn't quite looked like himself since returning in Week 9, completing 58.7% of his passes with six touchdowns to four interceptions while totaling 38 rushing attempts for 141 yards and one touchdown, which came this past week against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson will likely return to practice in some capacity on Thursday and Friday and be good to go for the Week 15 divisional matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is not participating in Wednesday's practice session, per Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Harrison returned in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after missing Weeks 11 and 12 due to an appendectomy, but then he missed the Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Rams after being listed as a DNP every day of practice last week with a heel injury. The second-year wideout is in danger of missing his fourth game in five weeks. It's been a frustrating season for Harrison, as he's struggled to stay healthy and hasn't taken a big step forward when he's been on the field, totaling 40 receptions for 594 yards and four touchdowns on 69 targets in 10 games. If Harrison is forced to miss the Week 15 game against the Houston Texans, Michael Wilson would be in line to see another heavy target share.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee) tied a season-high on Sunday with 10 targets and eclipsed his season-high yardage total -- which was set in Week 13 -- with 90 yards receiving on six catches. He did not find the end zone, as he's still sitting with just one touchdown on the season, but the 25-year-old has been plenty useful on volume alone, especially in PPR leagues. With Drake London (knee) missing the last three games (and also Week 8), the 6-foot-6 tight end has become Kirk Cousins' favorite pass-catcher, averaging eight targets, six receptions, and 64 yards receiving per contest in the four games with Cousins under center this season. Pitts popped up on the injury report earlier in the week with a knee injury and was a limited participant up to and including Wednesday's practice, resulting in a questionable designation for Thursday's matchup on the road against the Buccaneers. London, however, has been ruled out for TNF, so Pitts could be in line to maintain his temporary status as the team's No. 1 receiver again in Week 15 so long as he's active. Tampa Bay is middle of the pack in terms of fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but the fifth-year pro shapes up as a mid-range TE1 for Thursday, so fantasy managers will want to double-check his status before kickoff.
