Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially inactive on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman was a mid-week addition to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report and will now sit out a crucial divisional clash this weekend. The 26-year-old had the best year of his NFL career in 2024, but he has not continued that momentum into 2025, as he's caught just 18 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets through 11 games this year. His absence against a porous Bengals defense will create more opportunities for veteran DeAndre Hopkins, who won't be a terrible sleeper choice as a WR4/flex in Week 15. Bateman was limited in Thursday's practice before sitting out on Friday. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to return in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. He is currently rostered in only 14% of Yahoo leagues.

Chicago Bears QB Case Keenum is serving as the team's No. 2 quarterback for Week 15's game against the New York Giants, since QB Tyson Bagent (illness) has been ruled out.

Buffalo Bills wide receiver Joshua Palmer (ankle) is officially active for the Week 15 game on Sunday in New England against the division-rival Patriots. With Palmer returning to action, Gabe Davis will be a healthy scratch for Buffalo. The 26-year-old Palmer will return to the WR rotation after missing the team's last two games. He'll provide a deep threat for quarterback Josh Allen, but fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a flex play this weekend. Palmer is unlikely to see much playing time behind Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, and Brandin Cooks. Tight ends Dalton Kincaid and Dawson Knox will probably be more involved as well against a very capable Patriots defense. Palmer just hasn't made much noise at all in his first year in Buffalo in 2025, catching 18 of his 29 targets for 272 yards and zero touchdowns.

Buffalo Bills linebacker Terrel Bernard (elbow) is officially inactive this Sunday for a divisional matchup against the hosting New England Patriots. Bernard was listed as questionable for this weekend, but he will end up missing a third straight game due to his elbow injury. The 26-year-old's next chance to return will come in Week 16 on the road in Cleveland versus the Browns. Against the 11-2 Patriots, the Bills' defense/special teams unit is one to fade in fantasy football lineups in Week 15. With Bernard on the sidelines again on Sunday, Shaq Thompson will draw another start for the Bills at linebacker. In terms of fantasy points per game in IDP formats, Bernard ranks as the LB46 with 56 tackles (40 solo), seven tackles for loss, one interception, three pass breakups, and two fumble recoveries in 10 starts.

As expected, Houston Texans running back Nick Chubb (ribs) will not play on Sunday against the visiting Arizona Cardinals in Week 15 due to a rib injury. Chubb injured his ribs in the Sunday night win over the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14 and did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday. The 29-year-old returned to a limited practice on Friday, but it wasn't enough to clear him to play this weekend against Arizona. Even before his injury, Chubb had become a lackluster, low-upside RB3/flex option for fantasy managers as the No. 2 in Houston's backfield behind rookie Woody Marks. In his first year in Houston, the four-time Pro Bowler is averaging 4.1 yards per carry for 472 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 115 carries. Marks had a season-high 26 carries last week in KC and should be guaranteed another heavy workload in a great matchup against the Cardinals. Dare Ogunbowale figures to work as the RB2 behind Marks with Chubb out.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver Cedric Tillman (concussion, ribs) is officially active on Sunday to face the hosting Chicago Bears in Week 15. Tillman managed to clear the league's concussion protocol despite not practicing on Wednesday or Thursday. The 25-year-old is also battling through a rib injury as well and might not be 100% for this weekend's game in the Windy City. Tillman could have a bigger role in Cleveland's passing attack with tight end David Njoku (knee) out, but he's still a pretty hard receiver to trust as a WR4/flex in starting fantasy lineups, even in deeper leagues. In the three games that rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders has started, Tillman has only two catches for 28 yards. Tillman scored in the first two weeks of the season but hasn't found the end zone since, and he only has 18 receptions on the year for 197 yards on 35 targets.

The Houston Texans have declared CB Ameer Speed, DE Solomon Byrd, WR Braxton Berrios, C Jarrett Patterson, LB E.J. Speed, QB Graham Mertz and RB Nick Chubb inactive for Week 15.

Washington Commanders running back Chris Rodriguez Jr. (groin) is inactive for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable and was believed to be a true game-time decision. After Rodriguez tested his injury in pregame workouts, the team decided he wasn't healthy enough to suit up. The 26-year-old had been leading Washington's backfield lately with 37 touches and 4.8 yards per carry over his last three games. Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Jeremy McNichols should split touches in his absence, with McNichols likely getting more involved on passing downs. Neither back is a surefire top-36 fantasy option for Week 15, despite a favorable matchup against New York's bottom-tier run defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Parker Washington (hip), who was listed as questionable for Week 15, is officially active on Sunday to face the visiting New York Jets. Washington injured his hip in Week 13 and did not play in last weekend's big win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 23-year-old is back for a juicy matchup against the Jets, but fantasy managers should be cautious when considering him as a WR4/flex in his return. Rookie first-round wideout Travis Hunter (knee) is done for the year, but Washington might be quarterback Trevor Lawrence's fourth read in the passing game now behind receivers Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr., and tight end Brenton Strange. The return of Thomas from an ankle sprain recently has definitely lowered the fantasy ceiling for Washington going forward, and it remains to be seen how much the Jags will actually need to throw the football in Week 15.

New York Giants wide receiver Gunner Olszewski (concussion) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Washington Commanders. He had been listed as questionable and won't suit up despite logging a full practice on Friday. Olszewski has primarily played on special teams lately, so his absence won't have a major impact on the Giants' offense or fantasy football. Look for Devin Singletary to step up as New York's primary kick returner this week.

Arizona Cardinals running back Emari Demercado (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction ahead of kickoff. The 26-year-old is returning from a three-game absence and will likely join a three-man backfield rotation that also features Michael Carter and Bam Knight. Carter is the early favorite to lead Arizona's backfield on Sunday, as he's played more than half of the team's offensive snaps over the last four weeks. He also has a total of 15 catches during those four games, establishing himself as a reliable option in PPR leagues. Demercado, on the other hand, will need to earn his way back into a consistent role after missing time. He's not a dependable fantasy option at the moment.

Houston Texans RB Nick Chubb (ribs) has been declared inactive for the Week 15 game.

Fantasy Spin: Woody Marks should receive most of the work at running back with Chubb sidelined and can be a No. 2 running back or flex option in all fantasy leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiverRome Odunze(foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable but was widely expected to return to action after missing just one game. He ranks as the overall WR29 in PPR leagues with 44 catches for 661 yards and six touchdowns so far. The Browns have been stingy against wide receivers this year, allowing the 12th-fewest fantasy points to the position. Chicago will likely run the ball a lot this week, but Odunze has the advantage of being Caleb Williams' favorite target when he does look to pass the ball. Odunze is a high-end WR3/flex with a low floor and high ceiling.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (illness) is officially active for Sunday's Week 15 contest against the New York Giants. He had been listed as questionable after missing Friday's practice. Samuel has played in 12 games this year, amassing 62 catches, 561 receiving yards, and five receiving touchdowns. He filled in admirably as one of Washington's top targets with Terry McLaurin sidelined. Although McLaurin is back, the Commanders lost Zach Ertz (knee) to a season-ending ACL tear last week, which means Samuel should earn more targets where he excels most: in the short to intermediate passing game. The 29-year-old ranks as a low-end fantasy WR2 and should remain involved while catching passes from Marcus Mariota on Sunday.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs in Week 15. Johnston was a late addition to the injury report on Friday this week with a groin injury and will now sit out this weekend. The 24-year-old will try to get right for the team's Week 16 matchup against the Cowboys in Dallas next Sunday. With Johnston sidelined, there will be more targets to go around for Ladd McConkey and Keenan Allen, and rookie Oronde Gadsden. Rookie receiver Tre' Harris will also have an expanded role in the Chargers' passing game as the WR3 against a tough Chiefs defense. Johnston got off to a roaring start in 2025 with four touchdowns in the first four games, but he has only scored twice since Nov. 2 and has gone over 50 receiving yards just once since Sept. 28.
