New York Jets practice squad QB Adrian Martinez was elevated to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 13, and will be available for the Week 15 game.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts practice squad QB Philip Rivers was signed to the 53-man roster Saturday, Dec. 13. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Rivers is going to start for the Colts in Week 15 against the Seahawks. Expect a healthy dose of Jonathan Taylor in this matchup. Riley Leonard may have some packages as the backup to Rivers. |

Green Bay Packers QB Jordan Love has completed 13 passes, including four touchdowns, of 20-plus air yards since Week 8, and those completions have gone to seven different receivers.
| Footballguys view: Love is going to test his deep-passing ability on the road against the Broncos in Week 15. The Broncos' defense features a strong pass rush and top-notch secondary. Per Sumer Sports, the Broncos only allow 29 percent of passes thrown over 20 yards to be completed - one of the best marks in the NFL (league average is 35.9 percent on such throws). We've got Love as a QB2 option from a fantasy perspective in Week 15. |
Jordan Love player page
Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders said he is working on finding a balance between hunting big plays and keeping the offense on schedule. 'Sometimes you get in situations where you got to understand the play's over, and I'm improving in that,' Sanders said.
| Footballguys view: Sanders loves to throw the ball. In fact, he'll often hold onto the ball too long and drift back (which is a sin in the NFL) while waiting for routes to develop. Sanders can be an advanced pro passer, with deft touch and accuracy, but he needs to learn how to better get rid of the ball quickly and sometimes take what the defense is giving him. He'll get the rest of his rookie season to make strides in that area. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett ranks first in the NFL in passing yards, completions and pass attempts since taking over as the starter in Week 6.
| Footballguys view: Things look so much different for the Cardinals' offense with Brissett running the show. Brissett completed 25-of-44 attempts for 271 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Cardinals' Week 14 loss against the Rams. This week, he'll face another aggressive defense in the Houston Texans. Entering his age-34 season in 2026, Brissett is under contract through next season. |

Indianapolis Colts QB Riley Leonard (knee) could see some playing time in Week 15's game versus the Seattle Seahawks, even though QB Philip Rivers has been named the starting quarterback, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Who knows what Rivers is going to look like in his first game back in five seasons. That means the Colts will have Leonard ready for at least some packages if not completely taking over if things look disastrous with the 44-year old quarterback. Fantasy GMs should not be counting on Rivers, and temper expectations for the entire offense in Week 15 (and beyond). |
Philip Rivers player page
The Indianapolis Colts will elevate QB Philip Rivers from their practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dec. 13, and he will start Week 15's game versus the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Tom Pelissero and Mike Garafolo.
| Footballguys view: Everyone is going to be watching to see how much Rivers can still look like his old self. This is his first game action since January of 2021, so we're keeping our expectations low. The Colts see him as a better option due to his familiarity with Shane Steichen's offense, even though Riley Leonard (knee) practiced fully this week. |
Philip Rivers player page
New York Jets QB Adrian Martinez will serve as the No. 2 quarterback for Week 15's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: Martinez will be the primary backup to Brady Cook, who makes the first start of his career in Week 15. Coming out of Kansas State (Nebraska transfer) as an undrafted free agent in 2023, Martinez has spent time with the Jets before and was with the 49ers earlier this season. Martinez is a running quarterback who was the UFL MVP in 2024 and a champion with the Birmingham Stallions. |
Indianapolis Colts QB Philip Rivers 'certainly seems like' he is positioned to start against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15, but the team has yet to make an official decision, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (rest) practiced in full Friday, Dec. 12 for the second straight day, and he was removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 15 game against the Cincinnati.
| Footballguys view: Jackson got a veteran rest day on Wednesday, but he's expected to be a full go this Sunday against the Bengals. He looked more like himself last week, rushing for 43 yards and scoring his first touchdown since Week 1. He ranks as a Tier 1 QB1 in our rankings this week. |

Pittsburgh Steelers QB Aaron Rodgers (wrist) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 12.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers has broken bones in his non-throwing wrist, so he'll likely remain on the injury report for the rest of the season. That said, he's practicing in full and playing through it. He's only relevant in two-quarterback and superflex leagues, as he hasn't shown much ceiling in the dink-and-dunk Steelers offense. |

Las Vegas Raiders QB Geno Smith (back, shoulder) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Kenny Pickett will make just his second start since 2023, and his first ever for the Raiders. Facing the Eagles behind one of the league's worst offensive lines could make for a rough outing. There's hope he can keep the offense on schedule and get the ball to the Raiders' playmakers, but expectations for an already-stagnant unit are tempered without Smith. |

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, but has been ruled out for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: After immediately reinjuring his left elbow in his first game back from a three-game absence, the optics of Daniels returning this week wouldn't be great. With the Commanders essentially eliminated from playoff contention, it's unclear whether he'll play again this season. Fantasy managers should already have Marcus Mariota rostered, as he's provided steady production as the starter. |

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) practiced in full on Friday, Dec. 12, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Mahomes frequently appears on the injury report but is rarely in danger of missing time. He's cooled off a bit in recent weeks, but we still have him ranked inside our top ten quarterbacks. |

Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert (hand) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, but is not on the injury report for Week 15.
| Footballguys view: Herbert played through a hand injury last week, and there's no reason to expect he won't do the same in Week 15. Unfortunately, his production has disappeared over the past couple of months as his offensive line has been ravaged by injuries. He's in the streaming conversation this week, but better options may be available on your waiver wire. |

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. |

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. |
