Even if Demercado does play this weekend, he seems unlikely to play on more than a few snaps. Demercado suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 11 against the 49ers and has been sidelined on game day since then. Expect Bam Knight to lead the backfield in touches this week, though he is just a FLEX, given the tough matchup.12 December 2025
That makes two weeks in a row where Marks has been a Wednesday DNP and then gone full on Friday — the Texans are likely just managing his workload given how many snaps he’s taken the last few weeks. Marks has 79 carries and 84 total touches over the last four games. He’ll be on the RB2 line against the Cardinals despite the lack of touchdown equity inherent to the Texans’ red zone offense.12 December 2025
He appeared to have injured himself in practice on Thursday, and the veteran guard did not participate in Friday’s session. Left tackle Dan Moore (neck) is also questionable after getting in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. We have higher hopes for Moore than Zeitler at this point, but the Titans could be down two of their better linemen against the 49ers on Sunday.12 December 2025
Fortunately, this should not be too tough a matchup, though Johnson’s absence is unfortunate. On the plus side, LG Landon Dickerson (calf/rest) is good to go. Hopefully, Johnson can return in time for the team’s Week 16 matchup against the division-rival Commanders.

Tough scenes for Hall as he’ll be the focal point of a Jaguars defense that was already a bit of a pass funnel. And now the pass part of the pass funnel is led by Brady Cook. Hall will be a low-floor RB2 in Week 15 based on the workload, but it won’t be pretty.12 December 2025
This was expected. Carter was labeled week-to-week eight days ago after undergoing procedures on both shoulders at the beginning of Week 14. The Eagles (8-5) sit atop the NFC East. They face the Commanders (3-10) in Week 16 and the Bills (9-4) in Week 17.12 December 2025
He’ll be wheels-up as a potential RB3/FLEX option against a sad sack Bengals defense. Mitchell had full practices in each of the last two days of the week. It appears his Week 14 injury was just a scare at this time.12 December 2025
Arroyo has been ruled out, as expected, after injuring his knee last week. Seahawks starting TE AJ Barner is a TE1 streaming option, though his weekly box score results have been very volatile. Barner occasionally takes snaps as the team’s tush-push quarterback.12 December 2025
He got in a limited session for the second day in a row. We’d expect Rodriguez to play through this and consider him on the optimistic side of questionable. He has a great matchup against a Giants defense giving up bushels of fantasy points up to running backs this season, assuming he is active.12 December 2025
Samuel had practiced in full until Friday, when he was a surprise DNP. Most illnesses that come on this late aren’t truly status-threatening, though Samuel had a bout with pneumonia last year that sounded incredibly scary. We’d still consider him on the optimistic side of questionable for Week 15. He’ll be on the WR3 line if active.12 December 2025
Payton added that if this were a playoff game, Payton would probably be playing. But this is management with the hope of getting things in shape for Bryant down the line. Marvin Mims will find more snaps in Week 15 and both Troy Franklin and Courtland Sutton should get a slight workload upgrade.12 December 2025
Washington upgraded to full participation on Friday, but remains questionable to play. That is unfortunate. Regardless of whether Washington plays, WR Jakobi Meyers will likely continue operating as the team’s top target earner. Washington would be a volatile FLEX option if he is active.12 December 2025
Lions coach Dan Campbell said earlier today that Joseph “had a setback.” He also admitted that an injured reserve stint is possible for Joseph, though that would knock him out for the remainder of the regular season at this point. Joseph is managing a long-term knee injury and may not be able to make it back this season.12 December 2025
As usual. Decker has played through this injury for most of the season, so we’d expect him to be out there on Sunday despite a lack of practice time.12 December 2025
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen referred to Lawrence’s ankle injury as “nothing really,” adding that Lawrence is “fine.” The Jaguars’ quarterback practiced fully on Thursday and Friday, so we believe Coen. Lawrence is on the QB1/2 borderline for his Week 15 game against the Jets.12 December 2025
He got in three limited practices this week. Raymond carries almost zero stand-alone fantasy value, but his return could put a crimp in Isaac TeSlaa’s contributions against the Rams. Even with touchdown catches in his last two weeks, TeSlaa would be a low-floor start against a good Rams pass defense.12 December 2025
Crow was placed on leave earlier this year after being “arrested in late August on domestic battery charges.” Dolphins defensive assistant coach Sean Ryan will continue working with the outside linebackers.12 December 2025
He got in a limited session today to get to questionable after two DNPs earlier in the week. Darrisaw was active last week after missing Week 13 and his status seems to very touch-and-go at this point. We imagine he’s a game-time decision for the Vikings in Week 15.12 December 2025
Pickett may only be getting a one week audition here, as Carroll said that Geno Smith “will be back” against the Texans in Week 16. Against the Eagles’ stellar pass defense, Pickett is best approached as a QB3 in superflex leagues and even an optimistic view can’t see him as better than a low-end QB2 with almost nothing around him beyond Brock Bowers and Ashton Jeanty. It’s just not an ideal situation, even if he did look decent in relief of Smith in Week 14.12 December 2025
He didn’t practice all week and Raiders coach Pete Carroll said he was “concerned” about the lower back injury while the shoulder injury is “manageable.” Carroll did say that Smith “will be back next week,” but we wouldn’t be surprised if this lingered on, especially if Kenny Pickett runs with the opportunity on Sunday. Smith was already off the 1QB league radar; this probably leaves him as droppable in superflex leagues if the roster spot is necessary.
