There wasn’t really much Goff did wrong in this one — he only took one sack and managed two red zone strikes to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The Lions converted their two fourth-down gos. The running game was bad and put Goff in big spots that he usually delivered on, and the game turned when Detroit fell apart in the third quarter, as between the sack and a couple rough plays they punted three straight times. Goff corrected course, but couldn’t keep pace with the Rams, who averaged 7.5 yards per pl ...15 December 2025
Purdy also added 44 rushing yards on seven carries. The 25-year-old looked good on Sunday. The 49ers didn’t need him to do much, but he took what the Titans defense gave him all game long. His receivers seemed to get open at will against the beat-up secondary, but Purdy also hit them in stride and made every throw he needed to make, including two clutch ones on the final fourth-quarter drive to seal the win. He also added a career-long 26-yard scramble, and his ability to escape the pocket and ...15 December 2025
Ward has become a more efficient game manager as the season has gone on, which is a compliment to the rookie based on how the beginning of the season went. He eluded rushers in the pocket, extended some plays with his legs, and threw the ball away instead of taking unnecessary shots downfield. His touchdown throw to Gunnar Helm in the first half was a frozen rope, but he also missed a wide-open Van Jefferson for a potential 40-yard touchdown in the second quarter. Ward remains inconsistent, but ...15 December 2025
He added two rushes for eight yards. Luckily for the Rams, Matthew Stafford calmly followed up with a touchdown toss to Colby Parkinson to push the lead to two scores after Nacua briefly left with cramps. Nacua didn’t have a red zone target, but otherwise, nothing fantasy managers will want to point to with any derision here. He crushed on the outside, on the inside, and had the Lions corners in a blender all day. He’ll be on the WR1 line against the Seahawks next week assuming everything ch ...

McCaffrey popped up on the injury report with a back injury late in the week, but was able to suit up on Sunday. It seems likely that he was operating at less than 100 percent because this was not his best effort, averaging just over three yards per rush. He did break a few tackles, but he had a long rush of just nine yards, was not a factor in the receiving game, and was stuffed twice in the red zone late in the third quarter. Hopefully, a light week of practices will allow him to bounce back t ...15 December 2025
Warren led the Colts in targets while running a route on 28 of the Colts’ 30 drop backs. Philip Rivers, 44, making his first NFL start since 2020, peppered his short-area pass catchers with targets from start to finish. Indy running backs combined for nine targets, and all of Warren’s targets were of the quick-hitting variety. The Colts’ lack of throw volume will affect everyone in this Colts offense, but Warren might be live as a startable tight end in 12-team PPR formats with Rivers like ...15 December 2025
Harvey exited the game after a two-yard run late in the fourth quarter. With under two minutes to go, it seems unlikely that Harvey will return at this point barring the game going to overtime. Harvey exited the field with a rushing line of 19-64-1, with his lone score coming on a four-yard run in the fourth quarter. We’ll check back in if he returns, but if he doesn’t Harvey will be on the RB2 radar in Week 16’s game against the Jaguars.15 December 2025
Pollard looked good on the ground again, one week after obliterating the Browns for 161 yards rushing. The Titans were down multiple scores for most of the game, so they weren’t able to rely on the ground game too much, but they kept giving Pollard chances because he was far and away their best offensive player. He also outcarried Tyjae Spears 14-to-3, which is good news for Pollard’s fantasy value since it seemed like Spears had taken over the lead in the committee a few weeks ago. The vete ...15 December 2025
He also added just two receiving yards on two catches. Spears’ three carries on the day put him well behind Tony Pollard’s 14 rushes. Spears also only had two targets despite the Titans trailing by double-digits for most of this game. It seems that Pollard’s breakout game last week convinced the Titans to give him the far larger share of the workload this week. We’re not sure that the backfield split will stay this pronounced, but it’s hard to roster Spears in redraft leagues consideri ...15 December 2025

Rivers acquitted himself quite well in his first NFL action since the end of the 2020 season. Starting in place of Daniel Jones — out of the year with an Achilles injury — Rivers was severely limited by the mobility and diminished arm strength of a 44-year-old making a start five days after signing to a team’s practice squad.15 December 2025

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise given the nature of the injury. Parsons suffered a left-knee injury while attempting to change direction in pursuit of Bo Nix and remained down for several minutes after the play. It had the appearance of a serious injury, but we’ll likely get an official word on things within the next 24 hours.15 December 2025
Adams pulled up on a deep target in the fourth quarter and immediately was seen favoring his hamstring on the incompletion. He stayed on the ground for a few seconds and gingerly walked back to the Rams bench, then headed to the Rams’ locker room with trainers. Adams had four catches for 71 yards on eight targets before leaving, He failed to corral a pair of red zone targets.15 December 2025
A disappointing box score on a day where the Jags produced 48 points, 330 yards net passing, and five aerial touchdowns. Strange could only watch as Trevor Lawrence kept finding running backs for passing scores. Strange had been operating as a high-floor TE1 since his Week 12 but ceiling has proven elusive. It figures to remain so for Week 16 against the Broncos’ elite pass defense in Denver, keeping Strange somewhere in the TE10-14 range.15 December 2025
Back after a one-game absence with a hip injury, Washington was third in Jags wide receiver yards after Jakobi Meyers and Brian Thomas Jr. That is going to be the case more weeks than not, though Washington also dents Meyers and BTJ’s upside. Despite his real life value in this ascending offense, Washington won’t be pushing for WR4 value for the final few weeks of the fantasy playoffs.15 December 2025
The good news: Metchie has now caught at least four passes in four consecutive contests. The bad: He has not exceeded 34 yards in any of the past three weeks. Throw in the Jets’ ongoing quarterback carousel, and you have a No. 2 wideout struggling for WR4 relevance in fantasy football. There are worse 14-team league plays, but far, far better 12-team league options.15 December 2025
This one didn’t look good. Parsons suffered a non-contact knee injury late in the third quarter while pursuing Bo Nix and remained down for several minutes after the play. The injury occurred to his left knee when he attempted to change direction, and Parsons was in obvious pain. He eventually walked off the field with the assistance of trainers, but this has the potential to be a devastating injury for Parsons and the Packers’ sixth-ranked defense.15 December 2025
Meyers led the Jags’ receiver corps in receiving but not their skill corps, as Travis Etienne somehow turned his three catches into 3/73/3. Meyers’ 71 yards were his second most as a Jag. Good stuff, if maybe a bit disappointing on an afternoon where Jacksonville erupted for 48 points. Somehow, four of Trevor Lawrence’s five passing scores went to running backs. 5/71 is close to both Meyers’ weekly floor and ceiling. That makes him a perfectly fine WR3, but not much more as fantasy manag ...15 December 2025
This was Thomas’ second straight “pretty good” game, though “pretty good” was not what fantasy managers were signing up for in the second round. Astoundingly, his four catches were his most since Week 6. We are getting signs of life from one of the season’s biggest fantasy disappointments, but not performances that said he needs to be jammed back into your WR2 spots. That is especially true for tough matchups like next week’s date with the Broncos in Denver.
