Julian Edelman (questionable, knee, shoulder) is "optimistic" about playing Week 15 against the Bengals.

Advice: Already battling a shoulder injury, Edelman now has a knee issue to contend with. Nonetheless, it looks like he's gearing up to play in Cincy, though the Patriots want to see how he looks pre-game before making a final determination. Currently the only receiver showing any semblance of chemistry with Tom Brady, Edelman will be an unquestioned WR1 if he gets the green light. Edelman is tied for the league-lead in drops with 10, though he's seen more opportunities than most, ranking second to only Michael Thomas in targets (135). Rotoworld.com Today, 5:20 am

Damien Williams (questionable, ribs, illness) is not expected to play Week 15 against the Broncos.

Advice: Williams had been trending toward a return this week, but his absence from Friday's practice put him on the wrong side of questionable and now it appears he'll miss his third straight game. With Williams unlikely to dress, expect the Chiefs to employ a three-man committee featuring LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson and Spencer Ware. McCoy is the best fantasy bet of those three, though fantasy owners competing in the semi-finals likely have better options at their disposal. Rotoworld.com Today, 5:11 am

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport confirms Josh Jacobs (questionable, shoulder) is "good to go" for Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Advice: After missing the previous week with a fractured shoulder, Jacobs will be on hand for the Raiders' home finale (their final game in Oakland ahead of next year's move to Las Vegas) Sunday versus Jacksonville. Jacobs returns to a glorious matchup against a Jags run defense that has yielded 100-yard rushing performances to Carlos Hyde, Jonathan Williams, Marlon Mack, Derrick Henry and Austin Ekeler over their current five-game losing streak. Even at less than full strength, Jacobs belongs in all lineups as a surefire RB1. DeAndre Washington will be relegated to a supporting role after carrying the load in last week's loss to Tennessee. Rotoworld.com Today, 5:07 am

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports James Conner (shoulder) is expected to play in Week 15 against the Bills.

Advice: This was expected since Conner was a full participant for every practice this week. Re-aggravation is always in the cards, but Conner should at the very least be viewed as a usage-based RB2 since he handled 26 touches on 83 percent of Pittsburgh's offensive snaps in his last full game in Week 8. While stout overall, Buffalo's front-seven has quietly leaked 4.56 yards per carry as Football Outsiders' No. 17 rush defense DVOA to enemy backs. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 9:00 pm

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Will Fuller (hamstring) will play Week 15 against the Titans.

Advice: The Texans are "optimistic" he'll play barring any pregame setbacks. Fuller himself mentioned earlier this week he was "feeling good" and merely limited in practice to ensure he was ready for this must-win divisional bout against Tennessee. It's great news for Houston's offense as a whole since Deshaun Watson has averaged 8.56 yards per attempt and an elite 10.0 average depth of target in Fuller's nine starts and just 6.9 YPA and a 7.6 aDOT in four games sans the speedy wideout this year. Adoree' Jackson's (knee) absence along the perimeter plants both DeAndre Hopkins and Fuller in soft on-paper spots in Week 15's highest projected total (51). Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 8:57 pm

Dolphins WR DeVante Parker cleared the concussion protocol and will suit up Sunday against the Giants.

Advice: Both Parker and Albert Wilson are good to go for Sunday. Parker is the PPR WR22 on the season and should be in starting lineups against the Giants' mediocre secondary. Overall, each of DeAndre Baker, Grant Haley and Corey Ballentine rank outside of PFF's top-100 CBs among 131 qualified corners this season. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 3:30 pm

Lions promoted RB Wes Hills from the practice squad.

Advice: It's a bad sign for Bo Scarbrough's (ribs) chances at suiting up Sunday against the Buccaneers. Hills doesn't have an NFL carry, but he has the size (6-foot-1 and 218-pounds) to potential earn early-down duties ahead of Ty Johnson and J.D. McKissic. None are recommended fantasy options against the Buccaneers' league-best defense in DVOA against the run. Only the 49ers and Patriots have allowed fewer PPR per game to opposing backfields. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 1:11 pm

Bears placed TE Ben Braunecker (concussion) on injured reserve.

Advice: Braunecker is now the third Bears TE to land on the injured reserve, joining Trey Burton (calf) and Adam Shaheen (foot). Braunecker worked as the Bears' featured TE in Weeks 11 and 12, but he'll miss the remainder of the season. The Bears will move forward with J.P. Holtz, Bradley Sowell and Jesper Horsted as their top TEs. Rotoworld.com Yesterday, 11:47 am

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports DeVante Parker and the Dolphins are finalizing a four-year extension worth $40 million.

Advice: The deal includes $21.5 million in guarantees with an $8 million signing bonus. Parker will be the Dolphins' No. 1 WR for years to come. The beastly 6-foot-3 and 216-pound WR has made a habit of securing tough contested catches all season, providing rare glimmers of hope during the Dolphins' otherwise lackluster season. Parker (concussion, questionable) is tentatively expected to suit up Sunday against the Giants. Rotoworld.com Friday, 2:06 pm

Jared Cook (concussion) practiced in full on Friday.

Advice: Cook caught both of his targets for 64 yards and a pair of touchdowns on just eight snaps in Week 14 before exiting the game. He's earned high-end TE1 treatment if active as Drew Brees' undisputed No. 3 pass-game option behind only Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara. Josh Hill has surpassed 50 receiving yards in just 3-of-100 regular season games and likely won't command the same volume as Cook if the Saints' starting TE is ultimately sidelined. Treat Hill as a touchdown-dependent TE2 if Cook is inactive. Rotoworld.com Friday, 1:53 pm

Josh Jacobs (shoulder) said he "plans" to play Sunday against the Jaguars.

Advice: Jacobs is officially questionable. The good news is the Raiders' stud rookie RB clarified that he will not need surgery on his fractured right shoulder. Treat him as a low-end RB1 if active against the Jaguars' porous run defense, while DeAndre Washington would hold upside RB2 value if Jacobs is again sidelined. Rotoworld.com Friday, 12:47 pm

Julian Edelman (knee, shoulder) is questionable for the Patriots' Week 15 matchup against the Bengals.

Advice: Edelman has double-digit targets in eight consecutive games and has been the one consistently-elite fantasy option inside of this offense. The 2019 Super Bowl MVP has worked alongside the league's very best WRs this season in terms of production from start to finish. Each of Cooper Kupp (7-220-1), Dede Westbrook (6-103-0), Jarvis Landry (4-76-0) and Cole Beasley (8-48-0) proved the Bengals and be exploited from the slot. Continue to treat Edelman as the consistent WR1 he's been all season. Rotoworld.com Friday, 12:28 pm

Will Fuller (hamstring) is questionable for the Texans' Week 15 matchup against the Titans.

Advice: Kenny Stills would slide into the slot if Fuller is ultimately able to suit up this week. Deshaun Watson has kept the offense's TEs involved in the passing game all season, and he's even fed Duke Johnson 14 combined targets over the past two weeks. It's unlikely that either Stills or Fuller will see more than five-ish targets as long as they continue to be pigeon-holed as field-stretching WRs. Treat each as boom-or-bust WR3s in this plus spot. Rotoworld.com Friday, 12:03 pm

Derrick Henry (hamstring) is questionable for the Titans' Week 15 matchup against the Texans.

Advice: Both Henry and coach Mike Vrabel have already said he'll start against the Texans. Henry is playing at less than 100% due to a nagging hamstring injury. He still posted a fine-enough 60% snap rate in Week 14. Continue to treat the PPR RB5 as a locked-in RB1. Dion Lewis is worthy of a bench spot with Henry hurting, as the Titans have proven to be willing to feed their pint-sized backup in the past with 15 touches in seven games last season. Rotoworld.com Friday, 11:55 am

Bears TE Ben Braunecker (concussion) is out for the team's Week 15 matchup against the Packers.

Advice: The Bears utilized a number of complementary options in Week 14 with Braunecker and Taylor Gabriel (concussion, out) sidelined. J.P. Holtz (52% snaps) and Bradley Sowell (3%) lost plenty of reps to the likes of Jesper Horsted (47%), Riley Ridley (40%) and Cordarrelle Patterson (15%). None of these players are realistic fantasy options this week. Rotoworld.com Friday, 11:23 am

DeVante Parker (concussion) is questionable for Week 15 against the Giants.

Advice: Parker is trending towards suiting up after practicing in full on Friday. Isaiah Ford (76% snaps in Week 14) and Mack Hollins (14%) would join Allen Hurns in three-WR sets if Parker and Albert Wilson (concussion, questionable) are ultimately sidelined. Parker is the PPR WR22 on the season and should be in starting lineups if active against the Giants' mediocre secondary. Rotoworld.com Friday, 10:41 am

Paul Richardson (hamstring) is out for the Redskins' Week 15 matchup against the Eagles.

Advice: Terry McLaurin is the only fantasy-viable option in this Redskins' passing game. McLaurin F1 found the end zone for the first time since Week 6 during the Redskins' 20-15 loss to the Packers in Week 14. Up next is an Eagles Defense that has allowed nine different WRs to surpass 100 yards this season. Treat McLaurin as an upside WR3 in this prime spot. Rotoworld.com Friday, 10:23 am

Paul Richardson (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's practice.

Advice: This would obviously be a downgrade for Richardson, who got in limited sessions on both Wednesday and Thursday. Already down slot receiver Trey Quinn (concussion), Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims could be in line for heavy snaps against the Eagles in Week 15. Neither are worthy of fantasy consideration. Rotoworld.com Friday, 8:40 am

Speaking after Thursday's practice, Will Fuller (hamstring) said he's "feeling good."

Advice: "Just keep practicing and working on my timing and make sure everything feels good," was Fuller's response when asked what he needs to do to return against the Titans. Fuller seemed reasonably close to suiting up in Week 14. It's a reasonable bet he will be out there for this all-important divisional tilt. He will be a WR3 with WR1 upside if he gets the green light. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 2:47 pm

Noah Fant (hip, foot) returned to Broncos practice on Thursday, getting in a "limited" session.

Advice: Coach Vic Fagnio has expressed optimism the No. 20 overall pick will suit up against the Chiefs, and this goes a long way toward bolstering that. Fant maintains volatility but offers unusual upside for a TE2. We should have a good idea of Fant's Week 15 status by Friday afternoon, but it remains possible he ends up a game-time decision for Sunday's 1PM ET tilt in Kansas City. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 2:41 pm

Paul Richardson (hamstring) remained limited at Thursday's practice.

Advice: Coming off consecutive absences, Richardson looks poised to return Sunday when the Redskins host division-rival Philadelphia at FedEx Field. With Washington leaning run-heavy under interim coach Bill Callahan (Dwayne Haskins' insertion into the lineup has shifted the balance even further in that direction), Richardson has largely been a non-factor, securing a combined 13 catches for 110 scoreless yards over his last seven appearances (15.7 yards per game). That's not going to cut it in fantasy. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 2:05 pm

Bo Scarbrough (ribs) was downgraded to out at Thursday's practice.

Advice: Scarbrough was limited Wednesday after injuring his ribs late in last week's loss to Minnesota, but didn't see any reps on Thursday. He's been operating as the Lions' de facto workhorse, logging 72 carries since Week 11, fourth-most in the NFL over that span. With Kerryon Johnson (knee) not eligible to return for another week, J.D. McKissic and Ty Johnson would likely be thrust into a makeshift committee if Scarbrough can't suit up for Sunday's home tilt with Tampa Bay. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 12:59 pm

Derrick Henry (hamstring) was absent from the portion of Titans practice open to the media on Thursday.

Advice: This would typically be concerning, but both Henry and coach Mike Vrabel have already said he will start vs. the Texans. It's also possible he ends up getting slapped with a limited tag, anyways. The Titans are simply managing his reps. Even with his balky hammy, Henry is a top-three play at running back for the fantasy semifinals. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 11:59 am

Will Fuller (hamstring) practiced again Thursday.

Advice: He was oficially "limited." A hamstring injury has cost Fuller four of the last six games. After practicing and not playing last week, it would be nice to see Fuller get in a full session ahead of Sunday's matchup with Tennessee. DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills and Keke Coutee would again function as the Texans' top receiving trio if Fuller misses another game. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 11:06 am

Derrick Henry (hamstring) said, "I'll be ready to go" when asked about playing on Sunday.

Advice: Henry is playing at less than 100% due to a nagging hamstring injury. Regardless, he still posted a fine-enough 60% snap rate in Week 14. Continue to treat the PPR RB5 as a locked-in RB1. Dion Lewis is worthy of a bench spot with Henry hurting, as the Titans have proven to be willing to feed their pint-sized backup in the past with 15 touches in seven games last season. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 9:49 am

Updating a previous report, Raiders coach Jon Gruden said Josh Jacobs' positive MRI results don't guarantee he'll play Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Advice: Here are Gruden's exact words following Wednesday's walk-through practice: "We’ll see what happens in the next couple days. It doesn’t mean he’s going to play, but I’m glad the reports are positive." Jacobs will need to dodge any setbacks on Thursday and Friday to get fully cleared for the Week 15 contest, but he is currently on the good side of questionable with NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reporting Jacobs is expected to play. The Rookie of the Year candidate has a dream home matchup against the Jaguars if he starts. Jacksonville has allowed at least 195 rushing yards in four of their last five games. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 3:50 pm

James Conner (shoulder) was a full participant for Wednesday's practice.

Advice: JuJu Smith-Schuster (knee) also returned to practice for the first time since Pittsburgh's #HelmetGate fiasco against Cleveland. With Conner trending towards playing, fantasy players should downgrade fourth-round sloth Benny Snell altogether (even with Jaylen Samuels unlikely to suit up). Reminder Conner played 83 percent of the team's offensive snaps in his last full game before suffering an injury in Week 11. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 1:14 pm

Derrick Henry (hamstring) was sidelined for Wednesday's practice.

Advice: Coach Mike Vrabel said Henry's "maintenance plan" would keep him limited throughout the week, so the bruiser's absence from Wednesday's session isn't too concerning. Henry after all was limited leading up to Tennessee's blowout win over the Raiders before bulldozing his way to 18/103/2 ahead of Dion Lewis. At the very least, Lewis needs to be rostered everywhere to prep for any setbacks leading into Week 16. Henry will be a top-three option at his position if/when active against Houston. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 12:22 pm

Broncos TE Noah Fant (foot) was sidelined for Wednesday's practice.

Advice: Coach Vic Fangio said Fant’s outlook is "positive overall" but still wouldn't give any guarantees about the rookie's status. The No. 20 overall pick pasted the Texans for 4/114/1 from Drew Lock in Week 14 before leaving mid-third quarter with an indiscreet foot injury. Jeff Heuerman (1/8/1) also spiked a touchdown against Houston and would be the deep league pivot for fantasy players taking Fant's status to kick-off. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 11:08 am

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Josh Jacobs' (shoulder) MRI came back clean, and the rookie is expected to play Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Advice: Bad news for managers who splurged on DeAndre Washington via waivers, but Jacobs was never expected to miss the remainder of the year. After sitting Week 14, Jacobs is ready to roll as a high-end RB1 against a Jaguars defense that has laid down in recent weeks. Jacksonville has the least fight of any team in the league. Rotoworld.com Wednesday, 9:19 am

Titans coach Mike Vrabel said the plan for Derrick Henry is "the exact same as it was last week."

Advice: "I would say the [maintenance plan] would be the exact same as it was last week," Vrabel said of Henry's practice schedule. "There’s a lot of things that guys manage to get to the game on Sunday and that is our job, and it is their job as a professional to be ready mentally with limited reps. If he can take more reps we’ll give him more reps." Henry of course was limited for every session and watched closely by Tennessee's medical staff heading into Sunday before plowing ahead for 18/103/2 on a five-week low in snaps (37, 60%). Dion Lewis needs to be stashed everywhere in the (unlikely) event Henry can't muster through the week. Rotoworld.com Tuesday, 7:30 am

Julian Edelman tallied eight catches for 95 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets while adding another eight yards as a ball-carrier Sunday in New England’s Week 14 loss to the Chiefs.

Advice: The good news is that Edelman scored for the second straight week—his touchdown came on a 37-yard flea flicker from Tom Brady—while netting 95 yards, enough to push him over 1,000 yards for the season. The bad news is that he couldn't squeeze the potential game-tying touchdown, dashing New England's feint comeback hopes with 1:06 remaining in the fourth quarter. He and Brady also got their wires crossed on a second-quarter interception. Edelman is one of the few Patriots producing anything on offense this year, though he's also left plenty of points on the table with his league-high 10 drops. Sunday's heartbreaker will surely leave a bad taste in Edelman's mouth, though the Pats should get back on track next week in Cincinnati. A volume hound if there ever was one, Edelman has safely established himself as a firm WR1 in fantasy. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 5:08 pm

Bo Scarbrough contributed 65 yards on 19 carries along with one catch for an additional five yards on three targets before exiting with a fourth-quarter rib injury Sunday in the Lions’ Week 14 loss to Minnesota.

Advice: Scarbrough saw impressive volume in the loss to Minnesota—he out-touched teammate J.D. McKissic by an overwhelming 20-5 margin—though the former 'Bama standout did little with his opportunity, averaging a lethargic 3.4 yards per attempt while submitting a long gain of only seven yards. He injured his ribs with 12 minutes to go in the fourth quarter and did not return, though he wouldn't have been used much anyway with McKissic the preferred back on passing downs. With Kerryon Johnson (knee) a candidate to return from IR next week, Scarborough's fantasy window may have already closed. He won't be of much interest next week against a stout Bucs run defense. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 1:37 pm

Albert Wilson was forced from the Dolphins' Week 14 game against the Jets with a concussion and is week to week.

Advice: With DeVante Parker already out with a concussion of his own, Wilson could have been ticketed for big second half targets. Instead, he departs with just one grab for five yards. It's the latest dismal development in a lost season for the YAC threat. If Wilson can get cleared for Week 15, it will be for a plus matchup with the Giants, but matchups don't matter for Wilson. He's off the fantasy map. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 12:16 pm

Chiefs declared RB Damien Williams, C Nick Allegretti, OT Jackson Barton, CB Morris Claiborne, CB Rashad Fenton, QB Chad Henne and TE Deon Yelder inactive for Week 14 against the Patriots.

Advice: Williams (ribs) was ruled out on Friday. LeSean McCoy and Darwin Thompson will lead the backfield in his absence. DE Frank Clark (shoulder, illness) and S Jordan Lucas (shoulder, illness) will both be in uniform for Sunday's battle of AFC heavyweights. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 11:59 am

Jared Cook exited Week 14 against the 49ers with a concussion and will not return.

Advice: Cook caught both of his first-quarter targets for 38- and 26-yard touchdowns, but Cook took a shot to the head from CB Ahkello Witherspoon on the second touchdown. Cook at least made the most of his opportunities before getting hurt. Josh Hill and Taysom Hill are getting plenty of run in Cook's absence. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 11:24 am

NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports James Conner (shoulder) is expected to return for Week 15 against the Bills.

Advice: Conner will attempt to return from a three-game absence when the Steelers host Buffalo next Sunday night, though it's anyone's guess how long he'll last playing through a shoulder injury that could eventually necessitate surgery. It's unclear if he'd return to a featured role or if the Steelers would limit Conner's exposure by employing him in a committee with Benny Snell and Jaylen Samuels. When and if he returns, Conner will by no means be a must-start playing at much less than full strength. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 9:47 am

Bengals declared WR A.J. Green, DE Sam Hubbard, TE Mason Schreck, OG John Jerry, OT Isaiah Prince, QB Jake Dolegala, and CB Torry McTyer inactive for Week 14 against the Browns.

Advice: Green (ankle) and Hubbard (knee) are injured. Prince was just claimed off waivers. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 8:37 am

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Titans have not had extension talks with Derrick Henry.

Advice: The Titans do not generally negotiate with players in season, though it's surprising they haven't at least broached the subject with Henry, who has arguably been their best player in 2019. Due to their high burnout rate and risk of injury, teams are usually reluctant to pay big money for workhorse backs and those who have taken the plunge have mostly regretted it. With that said, there should be a strong market for Henry, the NFL's third-leading rusher behind only Christian McCaffrey and league-leader Nick Chubb. The soon-to-be 26-year-old could command a deal similar to the four-year, $52.5 million haul Le'Veon Bell received this past offseason. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 8:33 am

Will Fuller (questionable, hamstring) is not expected to play Week 14 against the Broncos.

Advice: Slowed by a hamstring injury that first popped up in mid-October, the field-stretching 25-year-old is headed for his fourth absence of 2019. The setback continues a frustrating trend for Fuller, who has rarely been healthy throughout his four-year career. In his absence, expect DeAndre Hopkins and Kenny Stills to work outside with either DeAndre Carter or Keke Coutee (a healthy scratch the past two weeks) operating the slot. Rotoworld.com Sunday, 5:14 am

Derrick Henry (hamstring) was removed from the Week 14 injury report.

Advice: Henry was cleared after getting in a full practice Friday. He'll see his full workload for Sunday's matchup with a Raiders defense that's allowing 135 scrimmage yards to running backs. Henry is in a great spot to extend his touchdown streak to five games this week. Rotoworld.com Friday, 4:35 pm

Julian Edelman (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Week 14 against Kansas City.

Advice: Edelman has been playing through questionable tags for weeks. He's not in danger of sitting out Sunday's potential shootout with the Chiefs. Rotoworld.com Friday, 3:41 pm

Damien Williams (ribs) is out for Week 14 against the Patriots.

Advice: Damien Williams is week to week and Darrel Williams was placed on injured reserve. That leaves the Chiefs with LeSean McCoy, Darwin Thompson, and Spencer Ware. Coach Andy Reid has previously said he wants to manage McCoy's total workload, but he's the best bet for touches in New England. The wild card is explosive rookie Darwin Thompson, who flashed in the preseason but is largely unproven. Perhaps Thompson gets involved as a pass-catcher out of the backfield. Rotoworld.com Friday, 11:27 am

Paul Richardson (hamstring) remained sidelined at Friday's practice.

Advice: So did Trey Quinn (concussion). Neither are expected to suit up against the Packers, leaving Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims atop Washington's receiving hierarchy. Needless to say, Green Bay's defense should be a coveted streamer this week. Rotoworld.com Friday, 8:24 am

Paul Richardson (hamstring) remained sidelined at Thursday's practice.

Advice: That's not a particularly promising sign for his Week 14 availability. With Richardson absent and Trey Quinn lost to a concussion, the Redskins went with Terry McLaurin, Kelvin Harmon and Steven Sims in three-wide sets last week at Carolina. No wonder Dwayne Haskins threw for only 147 yards in that game. Rotoworld.com Thursday, 10:25 am
