Cardinals | Trey McBride goes off in Week 15 Sun Dec 14, 08:26 PM

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride posted 12 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns on 13 targets in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.

Footballguys view: McBride reached the 100-catch mark and 1,000 yards for back-to-back seasons, something not even Travis Kelce has done. In addition to catching Arizona's first two TD passes of the game, 97 of McBride's 134 yards came after the catch, and he now has the longest streak of games with five or more receptions by a tight end in NFL history with 16, passing Kelce (15) on the all-time list. As NFL.com suggested, Arizona's offense figures to look different in multiple respects next season, but the one thing you can absolutely count on is McBride being a centerpiece.

Commanders | Jeremy McNichols bottled up Sun Dec 14, 08:22 PM

Washington Commanders RB Jeremy McNichols rushed nine times for six yards and caught one pass for 16 yards in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.

Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt runs through G-Men Sun Dec 14, 08:15 PM

Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt rushed 18 times for 96 yards and a touchdown in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.

Footballguys view: Croskey-Merritt fell behind Chris Rodriguez Jr. in the backfield pecking order as time has gone on. He hadn't eclipsed 40 rushing yards since Week 6 and hadn't found the end zone since Week 5, but with Rodriguez out due to an ailing groin, Croskey-Merritt made the most of his opportunity. He ran hard and effectively throughout, consistently keeping the Commanders ahead of the chains, and it'll be interesting to see if he's earned back a larger portion of the rotation in the team's remaining games.

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett throws three TDs Sun Dec 14, 08:08 PM

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 27-of-40 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 15 against the Houston Texans.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com notes, the three TDs -- two to Trey McBride and one to Michael Wilson -- were a season high for the veteran QB, but the success is only surprising because it came against a tough Houston defense. Brissett has tossed multiple scores in eight of the last nine games, posting an impressive 18:6 TD to INT ratio since taking over for Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6. Brissett will look to establish a new career high in passing TDs on a season in Week 16 against the Falcons.

Commanders | Marcus Mariota leads Washington to win Sun Dec 14, 08:08 PM

Washington Commanders QB Marcus Mariota completed 10 of his 19 passes for 211 yards and a touchdown and rushed 10 times for 43 yards and lost a fumble in a 29-21 win over the New York Giants in Week 15.

Commanders | Noah Brown has injured ribs Sun Dec 14, 08:05 PM

Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown (ribs) did not return to the Week 15 game against the New York Giants after suffering an injury to his ribs. The injury was initially reported as a back issue.

Footballguys view: Brown played his second game back after missing 10 consecutive games due to a groin injury, and hauled in the Commanders' longest catch of the day -- a 28-yard grab. Entering Week 15, Brown has caught four passes for 55 yards, averaging 13.8 yards per reception. However, he has played in just four games this season: Weeks 1, 2, 14, and 15. He was unable to finish Washington's Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers and was ruled out during halftime against the Giants. Brown will be a free agent in 2026.

Browns | Seven more receptions for Harold Fannin Jr. Sun Dec 14, 07:53 PM

Cleveland Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr. racked up seven receptions for 48 yards on a game-high 14 targets in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears.

Browns | Isaiah Bond with two long receptions Sun Dec 14, 07:51 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Isaiah Bond posted two receptions for a game-high 89 yards in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears. His catches went for a game-long 47 yards, and the second-longest play of the game at 42 yards.

Footballguys view: As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke suggests, the Browns have a favorable matchup in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers, so it's possible someone like Bond could be fantasy-relevant for that game. However, it will be good to see his playing time next week if Cedric Tillman and Malachi Corley, who both played through questionable designations Sunday, can practice fully for a whole week. This game was a good sign of Bond's chances to become a part of the Browns' wide receiver rotation next season.

Browns | Trayveon Williams totals three touches Sun Dec 14, 07:50 PM

Cleveland Browns RB Trayveon Williams rushed once for three yards in Week 15 against the Chicago Bears, and he had two receptions for four yards on two targets.

Packers | Chest injury for Christian Watson Sun Dec 14, 07:35 PM

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (chest) left the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos due to a chest injury, and he could not return. Watson had three receptions for 29 yards on five targets before departing.

Footballguys view: Watson was vying with Patrick Surtain for a deep ball, and Surtain snatched the ball out of the air while landing on Watson and inadvertently driving him into the ground. Jayden Reed would become the #1 target in the pass offense if Watson is out at Chicago next week, but losing Watson would also hurt Jordan Love's fantasy value going forward.

Saints | Cesar Ruiz bangs up ankle Sun Dec 14, 07:33 PM

New Orleans Saints OG Cesar Ruiz (ankle) left the Week 15 game against the Carolina Panthers due to an ankle injury.

Saints | Devaughn Vele suffers shoulder injury Sun Dec 14, 07:30 PM

New Orleans Saints WR Devaughn Vele (shoulder) left the Week 15 game against the Carolina Panthers due to a shoulder injury. He had five receptions for 69 yards on six targets before departing.

Footballguys view: Vele was emerging as a trusted target for Tyler Shough, who has made the Saints the best team in the NFC South since he took over. The Jets pass defense was atrocious against the Jaguars in Week 15, so it will be a shame if Vele has to miss that matchup next week.

Titans | Xavier Woods suffers hamstring injury Sun Dec 14, 07:28 PM

Tennessee Titans S Xavier Woods (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a hamstring injury and he did not return.

Titans | Kevin Zeitler suffers groin injury Sun Dec 14, 07:27 PM

Tennessee Titans OG Kevin Zeitler (groin) left the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a groin injury.

Chiefs | MRI shows torn ACL for Patrick Mahomes Sun Dec 14, 07:19 PM

Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) had an MRI which showed a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee late in the Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Mahomes and the team are exploring surgical options. QB Gardner Minshew is expected to take over the starting quarterback to finish the season.

Footballguys view: Now the question is whether Mahomes will be ready for Week 1 next season. The Chiefs don't have any other quarterback under contract for 2026, so we might get a read on their expectations by the moves they make in the offseason. The Chiefs get the Titans next week, so we'll keep Rashee Rice and Travis Kelce in lineups and consider Minshew in 2QB/Superflex leagues.

Titans | Cedric Gray ruled out with concussion Sun Dec 14, 07:17 PM

Tennessee Titans LB Cedric Gray (concussion) left the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers due to a concussion, and he was unable to return.

Rams | Puka Nacua heads to locker room Sun Dec 14, 07:11 PM

Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua (cramps) left the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter due to what the team is calling cramps. He was hit in the back on the ground on a reception. He attempted to get up, and feel to the ground in pain. Eventually, he walked off under his own power, and he walked to the locker room.

Footballguys view: Nacua has been resuming his elite WR1 fantasy form in recent weeks, and he could be even better with Davante Adams likely out for a while because of a hamstring injury, but we'll need to monitor this closely with the Rams having to turn around and play in four days at Seattle on Thursday night.

Titans | Van Jefferson leaves with back injury Sun Dec 14, 07:08 PM

Tennessee Titans WR Van Jefferson (back) left the Week 15 game against the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth quarter due to a back injury. He did not return.

Footballguys view: Despite the early exit, Jefferson tied for second on the team in targets for the game. As Tennessee's third receiver behind Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, his status will be worth monitoring as the practice week begins. The Titans play the Chiefs in Week 16.

Rams | Davante Adams sidelined early Sun Dec 14, 07:05 PM

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) left the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions in the fourth quarter due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Footballguys view: Adams went down while running a deep route. Because he has been on the injury report with hamstring issues for a while, this could be a multiweek absence for Adams. Fantasy teams should expect to not have him available for Week 16 or 17, and the Rams might be lucky if they get him back for wild card week, or even better, get the #1 seed and can rest him for a month before he plays again. Colby Parkinson had a big Week 15 and should be a strong Week 16 play in a more concentrated Rams passing game at Seattle.

Bears | D'Andre Swift rambles for two touchdowns Sun Dec 14, 07:03 PM

Chicago Bears D'Andre Swift ran for 98 yards and two touchdowns on 18 carries in a Week 15 win over the Cleveland Browns. He caught one pass for minus-2 yards.

Footballguys view: Swift got better as the game went on against a Browns run defense that has been wilting over the last two weeks. James Cook will take aim at them in Week 16, while Swift will be a solid RB2 play against the Packers next week after outplaying Kyle Monangai against Cleveland.

Jaguars | One catch for Brenton Strange Sun Dec 14, 07:02 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars TE Brenton Strange caught one pass for 26 yards against the New York Jets in Week 15. He was targeted three times during the game.

Footballguys view: Strange was a big part of the pass offense at first when he returned from injured reserve, but he had a touchdown wiped off of the board last week, and didn't catch any of Trevor Lawrence's five touchdown passes this week. He was a Week 15 bust, but could still be in consideration for fantasy lineups next week at Denver because this offense has been prolific as of late.

Jaguars | Brian Thomas catches TD pass Sun Dec 14, 06:53 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. caught four passes for 66 yards and one touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 15. He was targeted seven times during the game.

Footballguys view: Thomas scored early in the game and hauled in a deep ball later on that reconfirmed the budding connection between him and a red hot Trevor Lawrence. Thomas will be a high ceiling WR3/Flex play against the Broncos. It's not exactly what you expected if you took Thomas in fantasy drafts this season, but it's better than what you thought you had for most of the season.

Packers | Micah Parsons helped to locker room Sun Dec 14, 06:51 PM

Green Bay Packers DL Micah Parsons (knee) suffered an apparent left knee injury in the third quarter of the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos on a non-contact play. He immediately went down and grasped at the front of his left knee. He was helped to the locker room, and appears unlikely to return.

Footballguys view: The team seemed shaken as even the Broncos fans went silent after Parsons crumpled to the ground. The Packers defense will face the Bears in a crucial divisional matchup next week, but we should expect Parsons to be out, and we might not see him again until next season.

Jaguars | LeQuint Allen quiet in Week 15 Sun Dec 14, 06:45 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB LeQuint Allen rushed for 11 yards on four carries against the New York Jets in Week 15. He also caught one pass for five yards during the game.

Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten finds end zone, injures finger Sun Dec 14, 06:41 PM

Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten caught one pass for 16 yards and one touchdown against the New York Jets in Week 15. He also rushed for seven yards on one carry during the game.

Footballguys view: The rookie also suffered a finger injury and didn't return. As Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke suggests, if Tuten misses time, we can expect Travis Etienne Jr. to play more going forward, including a few more touches per game. The Jaguars have two rough matchups against the Denver Broncos and Indianapolis Colts, so a few more touches would help Etienne's fantasy value in those games.

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy finishes with two receptions Sun Dec 14, 06:40 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (head) posted two receptions for 35 yards on four targets in Week 15 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He left the game briefly due to a head injury, but he returned and finished up.
