Colts | Philip Rivers comes out of retirement, signs with Indianapolis Tue Dec 9, 01:08 PM
Free agent QB Philip Rivers signed with the Indianapolis Colts' practice squad on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
| Footballguys view: With starter Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the season and backup Riley Leonard dealing with a knee injury, the Colts turned to Rivers as an emergency solution. Before the Colts can determine how soon Rivers can play, they have to see how he feels and practices Wednesday and Thursday. But Rivers played in this offense his entire career, and his relationship with coach Shane Steichen will be seamless. So this is more of a physical question than a mental one. The Colts believe Rivers could give them a realistic chance to stay competitive. Leonard's health will also be a factor. |

Colts | Philip Rivers set to work out Tue Dec 9, 02:10 AM
Retired QB Philip Rivers is expected to work out for the Indianapolis Colts Tuesday, Dec. 9, to see if he can join the team's practice squad, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: While it's unclear if Rivers, who last played in 2020 with the Colts, is in football shape after being away from the game for so long, he would have intimate knowledge of the Colts' offensive scheme and would be a seamless addition in terms of working with head coach Shane Steichen. The two worked closely together during Steichen's days as the Los Angeles Chargers' offensive coordinator before Rivers' one season with the Colts. Whether Rivers is a viable option remains to be seen. But the Colts believe his familiarity could give them a realistic chance. Monday is Rivers' 44th birthday. Stay tuned. |

Colts | Anthony Richardson not ready to return Tue Dec 9, 02:09 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (eye) will not have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Richardson remains on injured reserve after sustaining an orbital fracture while warming up prior to a game earlier this season. A pole that was attached to a stretch band snapped and impacted Richardson around his eye. "He's still working through it," Steichen said of Richardson. "Obviously it's an eye, it's very delicate. So he's just resting it, and then once the doctors and trainers clear him to be activated - that's where it's at right now. Still just healing up." According to Profootballtalk.com, the Colts don't know when or if he'll be cleared at any point in 2025. |

Chargers | Justin Herbert impresses more with toughness than fantasy output vs. Eagles Tue Dec 9, 01:48 AM
One week after undergoing surgery for a fracture in his left hand, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert rushed for the third-most yards in his career, stiff-arming the Eagles in a 22-19 overtime win Monday night that prompted L.A. coach Jim Harbaugh to call him a "superhero."
| Footballguys view: Herbert's stats weren't that impressive: 139 passing yards, the sixth-fewest of his six-year NFL career, on a career-worst 46 percent completion rate. None of it mattered. What did matter was his playmaking, especially on the ground. He ran for a team-high 66 yards on 10 carries and produced three first downs on scrambles, giving him 18 for the season. That's fourth most in the NFL after Patrick Mahomes (24), Baker Mayfield (20), and Drake Maye (20). Herbert's 18 first downs on scrambles were also his most in any season. Herbert finished the week as QB17 with 14.2 fantasy points. |

Eagles | Nightmare evening for Jalen Hurts Tue Dec 9, 12:11 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Jalen Hurts completed 21 of 40 passes for 240 yards, no touchdowns, and four interceptions in an overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Hurts, who ran four times for eight yards, also lost a fumble to become the first player to commit two turnovers on the same play.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Tim McManus noted, Hurts was protecting the football as well as anyone for the bulk of the season, but now has seven giveaways in two games. His receiving corps could have helped him out more -- an A.J. Brown drop over the middle in the second half led to a pick -- but Hurts held the offense back more than anyone against L.A. Fantasy investors were also probably held back by Hurts' QB29 finish with 2.4 points. |

Colts | Riley Leonard uncertain for Week 15 Mon Dec 8, 02:41 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard (knee) is dealing with a knee injury, and his availability for Week 15 is uncertain at this point, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: This news comes on the heels of Steichen confirming that Daniel Jones did suffer a torn Achilles and will be out for the remainder of the season. Steichen said that Leonard is "working through" the injury, and the "hope" is that he will be able to play Sunday against the Seahawks. However, Steichen cannot say that for sure just yet. Anthony Richardson remains on injured reserve, which means the only fully healthy quarterback for the Colts right now is practice squad QB Brett Rypien. He has appeared in 11 games with four starts since entering the NFL in 2019. |
Colts | Daniel Jones officially out for season Mon Dec 8, 02:32 PM
Updating previous reports, Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) has been diagnosed with a torn Achilles tendon and will miss the rest of the 2025 season, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: Jones was playing through what was reported to be a hairline fracture in his left fibula when he went down in the first quarter on Sunday with an injury to his opposite leg. Although a torn Achilles is easily diagnosed, Jones underwent an MRI on Monday to confirm the injury. Jones is headed to free agency and might not be ready to play in Week 1 next season. The Colts and Vikings were both rumored to be in on signing Jones, but the nine-month recovery adds enough uncertainty to cloud the issue. |

Chiefs | Tough night for Patrick Mahomes Mon Dec 8, 12:05 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes completed 14 of his 33 passes for 160 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions in a Week 14 loss to the Houston Texans. Mahomes ran the ball seven times for a team-high 59 yards as well.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes was QB25 through Sunday night. He's now come up short in four of his last five outings: Mahomes was QB25 against Buffalo in Week 9, scoring just 8.5 points; he was QB15 against Denver in Week 11, with 13.3 points; and QB14 against the Colts in Week 12, with 15.1 points. His QB1, 29.4-point Week 13, reminds us the upside is there, but with injuries along the offensive line and a poor rushing attack, opposing defenses are able to focus on Mahomes and the passing attack. He'll try to turn things around against the Chargers in Week 15. |

Colts | Daniel Jones to have Achilles surgery Sun Dec 7, 08:34 PM
Updating a previous report, Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) will undergo surgery for his torn Achilles. He suffered the injury in Week 14 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He could face a nine-month recovery period which puts him up against the start of the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: The injury leaves the Colts in dire straits at the position. With backup Anthony Richardson Sr. on injured reserve with a facial fracture, rookie Riley Leonard replaced Jones in Jacksonville. He completed 18 of 29 passes for 145 yards and an interception. He ran for a score late. Jones is a pending free agent, though Indy wants him back. We'll be watching for more. |

Saints | Tyler Shough runs Saints to a win Sun Dec 7, 08:06 PM
New Orleans Saints QB Tyler Shough completed 13 of his 20 passes for 144 yards and an interception and ran seven times for 55 yards and two touchdowns in a 24-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: There were rookie mistakes, as Shough was sacked three times and had an interception after a miscommunication with WR Chris Olave. But with his second win. Shough is giving the Saints hope. In addition, his 21.3 fantasy points ranked sixth at his position through Sunday's late-afternoon games, and the running plays were impressive. Shough's 34-yard rushing touchdown was the longest by a non-Taysom Hill Saints QB in franchise history. Shough is also the first non-Hill Saints QB with multiple rushing TDs in a game since Drew Brees in 2018. The Saints play the Panthers in Week 15. |

Raiders | Geno Smith sidelined early vs. Broncos Sun Dec 7, 07:48 PM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (hand, shoulder) left the Week 14 game against the Denver Broncos due to a right shoulder injury, as well as a cut to his right hand. Head coach Pete Carroll said Sunday, Dec. 7 that the shoulder 'locked up', but tests did not show any damage. He was 13-of-21 for 116 yards, one touchdown and four rushing yards before departing.
| Footballguys view: Smith and the Raiders had managed 131 yards of offense before his exit. He was 13-for-21 for 116 yards and a touchdown but had not led a scoring drive since the end of the first quarter. Smith has faced heavy criticism this season as the Raiders built a 2-10 record under Carroll entering the game. The Raiders recently fired offensive coordinator Chip Kelly, and the NFL fined Smith for flipping off spectators after a recent loss. Kenny Pickett replaced Smith against the Broncos and would start against the Eagles in Week 15 if Smith isn't ready. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson accounts for two touchdowns Sun Dec 7, 07:05 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson completed 19 of 35 for 219 yards with a touchdown passing, a touchdown rushing and an interception in Week 14 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Jackson finished with 43 yards on seven carries.
| Footballguys view: Jackson wasn't always that effective as a passer, but he was more useful as a runner this week, and only a late pass breakup by Joey Porter Jr. prevented a go-ahead touchdown to Isaiah Likely in the final minutes. The Steelers tend to give Jackson fits and he was still able to post his first strong fantasy performance in over a month, so you can feel confident plugging him back in against the Bengals next week. |

Buffalo Bills QB Josh Allen went 22-for-28 for 251 yards and three touchdowns against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 14. He also rushed for 78 yards and one touchdown on nine carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Allen was a magician in the second half and led the Bills to another improbable win, pulling many fantasy teams across the finish line in the process. The Bengals defense was tough in the first half and forced a key James Cook fumble at the goal line in the second half, but Allen made the plays needed in the fourth quarter, along with the Bills defense picking off Joe Burrow on consecutive offensive plays to swing the thrilling quarterback version of a heavyweight title fight. |

Steelers | Aaron Rodgers throw for season-high 284 yards Sun Dec 7, 06:18 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers threw for a season-high 284 yards and a touchdown on 23 of 34 passing and even ran for touchdown in Week 14 against the Baltimore Ravens.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers was outstanding on sideline deep balls to DK Metcalf and looked about as spry keeping plays alive as we've seen him look in years. He even scored on a sprint to the pylon and posted a very good fantasy game if you had to put him in your 2QB/Superflex lineup. You could do worse than playing him as a QB2/Superflex against the Dolphins next week for the first place Steelers. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders throws three touchdowns Sun Dec 7, 05:55 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders completed 23-of-42 passes for 364 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Week 14 against the Tennessee titans, while running for 29 yards and a touchdown.
| Footballguys view: Sanders was a big time fantasy hit in 2QB/Superflex leagues, which should encourage folks that are considering Brock Purdy as their fantasy starter next week against the Titans. Sanders' output was juked by getting to play against a defense nursing a two touchdown lead in the fourth quarter, but they all count the same for fantasy. He'll be in consideration as a QB2/Superflex option next week at Chicago. |
Bengals | Joe Burrow throws four TDs, two INTs Sun Dec 7, 05:36 PM
Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow went 25-for-36 for 284 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions against the Buffalo Bills in Week 14.
| Footballguys view: Burrow was authoring a masterful performance until two consecutive shotput-esque throws in the fourth quarter were picked, one for a defensive touchdown. He threw a touchdown to Tee Higgins late in the fourth quarter to stop the bleeding, but the Bengals defense couldn't make a stop to give Burrow a chance to win. Before the gaffes, Burrow was in position to post the kind of performance in a Buffalo blizzard that would have been known as "the snow game" (or sneaux game if you're an LSU fan), but instead, the team's chances for the postseason took a massive hit. The Ravens losing to the Steelers also hurt, as they have a much tougher remaining schedule than the Steelers, including a matchup with the Bengals next week. |

Titans | Cam Ward tosses two TDS in snow Sun Dec 7, 05:05 PM
Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward completed 14-of-28 passes for 117 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Week 14 against the Cleveland Browns, while adding two runs for four yards during icy and snowy field conditions.
| Footballguys view: Ward was about as effective as one would expect on a cold afternoon in Cleveland, but he did convert touchdowns when gifted with short fields and the team showed the kind of fight in the win that we've come to expect from the #1 pick every week despite his long odds to pull off a win like he did in this game. He has some appeal as a QB2/Superflex option at San Francisco next week. |

Minnesota Vikings QB J.J. McCarthy completed 16-of-23 passes for 163 yards, three touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 14 against the Washington Commanders, while running six times for 19 yards.
| Footballguys view: This was the best game of McCarthy's pro career, but it was against possibly the worst pass defense in the league. Still, confidence is a big part of performance for young quarterbacks, and McCarthy should be more confident heading to Dallas next week. He's worth a look as a QB2/Superflex or Daniel Jones emergency replacement next week. |
Seahawks | Three touchdowns for Sam Darnold Sun Dec 7, 03:49 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold went 20-for-30 for 249 yards, three touchdowns and one interception against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 14. He also rushed for 23 yards on three carries during the game.
| Footballguys view: Darnold was sacked at the one and then intercepted trying to do too much on an extended play to open the game, but he settled down on a field goal drive at the end of the first half and then made short work of the Falcons defense in the second half. He has been too inconsistent to trust in 1QB leagues lately, but this outcome is encouraging heading into a home game against a shellshocked Colts team. |

Commanders | Jayden Daniels questionable to return Sun Dec 7, 02:45 PM
Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) left the Week 14 game against the Minnesota Vikings due to an elbow injury, and he is questionable to return. He took a hard shot to his left elbow, leaving for the blue medical tent in the third quarter. QB Marcus Mariota replaced him under center.
| Footballguys view: Daniels and the Commanders offense stalled out in the red zone on their first drive and then the game just got away from them. He was injured in an attempt to play defender after an interception. If you trusted Daniels for fantasy in his first week back from an elbow injury, it blew up in your face. Head coach Dan Quinn said he could have returned, but it was his call to keep Daniels out. We'll be monitoring practice reports heading into the matchup against the Giants to know whether to project Daniels or Marcus Mariota as the starting quarterback. |

Colts | Daniel Jones suffers Achilles injury Sun Dec 7, 01:51 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) left the Week 14 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the second quarter due to an Achilles injury, and he was quickly ruled out. QB Riley Leonard will take over for the remainder of the game. Jones finishes 5-of-7 for 60 yards, no touchdowns and one interception with one run for four yards.
| Footballguys view: This one looked like a season ender, and Jones reacted like he knew it was serious. Rookie sixth round pick Riley Leonard replaced Jones and actually performed better than expected, but still this is crippling for the team and fantasy prospects of everyone in the offense. Jones is headed to free agency and might not be ready to play in Week 1 next season if the achilles is torn as feared. The Colts and Vikings were both rumored to be in on signing Jones, but this throws all of those plans into disarray. This is heartbreaking for Jones who had been playing through a broken fibula and was the main reason the team was in the game last week against the Texans. |

UDFA rookie Brady Cook replaced Taylor and was ineffective. The Jets offensive outlook against Jacksonville next week is bleak. |
