Hey!
Before you set your fantasy lineups today, here are the 12 key overnight updates you need to know heading into kickoff…
#12 Christian McCaffrey is now questionable. He was downgraded Saturday with a back injury. CMC is expected to play, so it doesn’t appear major. Track this one closely leading up to the 4:30 pm start time…
#11 Phillip Rivers will start. He’ll be playing his first NFL game in 5 years and draws Seattle’s top-5 defense. Expect the Colts to limit Rivers pass attempts and lean heavily on Jonathan Taylor. It’s hard to trust Michael Pittman or Alec Pierce this week…
#10 De’Von Achane will play. He injured his ribs last week but reports say he has looked great in practice and he was left off the team’s final injury report. Achane is set to play Monday Night…
#9 Rome Odunze will play. He missed last week with a stress fracture, typically a multi-week injury. But he practiced in limited fashion and should suit up today. This hurts Luther Burden’s upside…
#8 Alvin Kamara remains OUT. He missed practices all week for the 3rd straight week. Devin Neal once again becomes a quality FLEX option…
#7 Davante Adams expects to play. He’s battling a hamstring injury, always a red flag, especially for a WR turning 33 in 2 weeks. He’s trending to play but could be limited…
#6 Chris Rodriguez is a game-time decision. He’s dealing with a groin injury but managed limited practice to end the week. If active, he’s a solid FLEX against the Giants bottom-3 run defense…
#5 Josh Jacobs is questionable. He’s battling a knee injury but returned to practice Friday & expects to play. But if he’s unable to, Emanuel Wilson becomes a must-start…
#4 Marvin Harrison is OUT. This immediately elevates Michael Wilson into a Top-20 WR this week. In 3 games without Harrison, and with Brissett at QB, Wilson has averaged 148 yards on 16 targets per game…
#3 Tee Higgins is OUT. He’ll miss this week with a concussion. This makes Mike Gesicki an appealing play. Last week, with Higgins in and out, Gesicki posted 86 yards and a TD…
#2 David Njoku is OUT. This boosts Harold Fannin even more. Fannin is averaging 15 fantasy points on 7.3 targets per game since Shedeur Sanders took over…
#1 Geno Smith is OUT. Kenny Pickett will start in Week 15. Last week with Pickett in the game, Jack Bech led the Raiders in receiving…
That’s everything you need to know for Week 15. Lock in those lineups…
