Bears | Rome Odunze listed as questionable Fri Dec 12, 02:19 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: After a blistering start to the year, Odunze has been quiet since the Bears' Week 5 bye. He's reportedly dealing with a stress fracture in his foot, which kept him out of last week's game. Since the bye, he's been a per-game WR54, making him a risky flex even if active. The best-case scenario? Fantasy managers can afford to bench Odunze this weekend while hoping he shows enough to inspire confidence for Week 16. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara (knee) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 12, and has been ruled out for Week 15, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Kamara hasn't played since he exited Week 12's game with this injury. While there's hope Kamara can return before this season ends, the Saints might continue to explore what they have in rookie Devin Neal, who has been operating as their workhorse back. Neal makes for a volume-based RB2 this week against the Panthers. |

Kansas City Chiefs WR Hollywood Brown (personal) is expected to miss Week 15, according to head coach Andy Reid.
| Footballguys view: With Brown out, Tyquan Thornton may see an expanded role. However, this passing attack is mainly focused on Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy, and Travis Kelce. Any pass-catchers aside from that bunch would be a desperation play. |

Free-agent TE Hayden Rucci (Lions) was signed to the Miami Dolphins practice squad Friday, Dec. 12.
Link to storyBaltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (ankle) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 12, and has not yet been ruled out for Week 15, according to head coach John Harbaugh.
| Footballguys view: Bateman opened up the week with a clean bill of health. He was listed on Thursday's injury report as limited with a groin injury. Following that up with a DNP definitely raises some concern about his availability on Sunday. Either way, Bateman's touchdown luck has dried up from last year. He's a risky WR5 even if he does play. |

Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt (lung) is expected to play again in 2025 after suffering a partially collapsed lung.

Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt (lung) recently underwent surgery for a partially collapsed lung and is unlikely to play in Week 15. He is expected to be released from the hospital Friday, Dec. 12.

Cleveland Browns TE David Njoku (knee) has been ruled out of the Week 15 game.
| Footballguys view: Njoku has taken a backseat to rookie tight end Harold Fannin this season. Fannin should dominate targets in this week's matchup against the Bears, putting him firmly in the high-end TE1 discussion. Njoku hopes to return next week. |

Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (concussion) has been cleared and will play in Week 15 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Link to storyCleveland Browns RB Dylan Sampson (calf, hand) has been ruled out of the Week 15 game.
| Footballguys view: With Jerome Ford landing on IR earlier this week, Quinshon Judkins is set to be the team's workhorse. Raheim Sanders will likely see some relief snaps, but in a cold-weather matchup against a porous Bears defense, Judkins is a must-add for your lineup. |
Buffalo Bills WR Joshua Palmer (ankle) was limited in practice on Friday, Dec. 12, and will be listed as questionable, according to head coach Sean McDermott.

Carolina Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (concussion) cleared concussion protocol and will be available for Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins (concussion) is out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Higgins returned from a concussion last week only to suffer another in the loss to Buffalo. He hopes to practice next week and be available for Week 16. With Higgins sidelined, Mike Gesicki will likely operate as the team's primary option out of the slot, giving him tantalizing upside as a fantasy streamer. |
Tee Higgins player page
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (heel) is out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Harrison will miss his second straight game with the heel injury he suffered in Week 13. In his absence, Michael Wilson has seen elite volume and produced at a high level. He'll have his work cut out for him this week against Derek Stingley and a stout Texans' defense. Still, he makes for a high-end WR2. |
New York Jets TE Mason Taylor (neck) is out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Taylor hasn't practiced this week after suffering a neck injury in last week's game against the Dolphins. Jeremy Ruckert should see additional snaps in Taylor's absence, but with undrafted rookie Brady Cook making his first NFL start, Ruckert remains well off the Week 15 fantasy radar. |
New York Jets QB Brady Cook will start in Week 15 against the Jacksonville Jaguars as QB Tyrod Taylor (groin) is out.
| Footballguys view: Justin Fields suffered a knee injury last week and is expected to miss this game after not practicing. Cook, an undrafted rookie free agent out of Mizzou, spent five years in college, starting the final three. He's an athletic quarterback with a big arm but suffers from inconsistent play. Expectations for all Jets pass-catchers should be tempered, as the game plan will likely focus on slowing things down and taking the air out of the ball. |

New York Jets C Josh Myers agreed to a two-year, $12 million extension Friday, Dec. 12, through the 2027 season.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (concussion) cleared the concussion protocol and will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15.
| Footballguys view: After sustaining a concussion last Thursday, Lamb benefited from the extra time needed to clear the league's protocol before Sunday night's game. Any concerns about late-breaking news before Sunday's early kickoffs can be put to rest. He's fully expected to play and profiles as a WR1 against the Vikings. |
