“Obviously got to get to the practice week. I’m very hopeful he can go out there and play for us,” Morris said while labeling him “day to day, but more hopeful.” London looks like a true question mark for Week 16 based on this update from Morris. We still wouldn’t be surprised if he only tested the knee in practice later in the week. A cleared London would be a must-play against the Cardinals, obviously.

The worst was confirmed on Monday, as the Packers will now be without their star pass rusher for the remainder of the season. Parsons suffered a non-contact knee injury in the third quarter of Sunday’s loss to the Broncos and remained down for several minutes before being helped off the field by trainers. Head coach Matt LaFleur said after the game that things “didn’t look good,” for Parsons, with reports later coming out that the team feared a torn ACL. There isn’t much to explain here. Parsons is one of the premier pass rushers in the league. He totaled 12.5 sacks in 14 games this season while also posting 41 tackles, 12 TFLs, and forcing two fumbles. The Packers now have to find a way to get by in the regular and postseason without their best player, who has accounted for 37.9 percent of their sacks this season.

Lamb handily led the team in targets and yardage but failed to find the end zone on a night quarterback Dak Prescott didn’t manage a passing touchdown. The veteran alpha was leaned on heavily throughout as George Pickens’ bout of disinterested play continued into Week 15, but disguised coverages and unique blitz packages from Brian Flores’ Minnesota defense made life continually difficult for all parties. Now all but eliminated from postseason contention, Lamb and the Cowboys move forward in another lost season as they prepare to face the Chargers in Week 16.

Darnold struggled again with pressure and appeared flustered any time Colts pass rushers broke through the offensive line and Jaxon Smith-Njigba wasn’t immediately wide open. Besides a three-touchdown, highly accurate performance against Atlanta in Week 14, Darold’s play has dropped off over the past month. That hasn’t affected JSN’s fantasy production, thankfully. In Week 16 Darnold will go against a Rams defense that has given him fits over his past three matchups against them. Darnold had zero touchdowns and four interceptions in Seattle’s mid-November loss to LA. He should not be started one-QB leagues against the Rams.

Taylor was predictably the centerpiece of the Colts offense with 44-year-old Philip Rivers under center for the first time since 2020. The Colts had 29 rushing attempts and 27 passes in this one. Rivers peppered the team’s short-area pass catchers with targets: Tyler Warren led the way with six targets, Taylor had four targets, and veteran RB Ameer Abdullah had five targets, leading the Colts with five grabs for 32 yards. That’s a little deceiving considering Abdullah ran a mere six pass routes on the day. Taylor logged 18 routes. Taylor is the one Colts player who might survive the Rivers experience. He gets the 49ers in Week 16.

Downs, a natural short-area target for the weak-armed Philip Rivers — who made his first start since 2020 in Week 15 — saw a bump in playing time against the Seahawks, running 26 routes on 31 Colts drop backs. He caught Rivers’ lone touchdown on the day, getting open in the back of the end zone. If Downs maintains this route participation he could be an interesting deep league option in Week 16 against the a Niners secondary that has been generous to opposing slot receivers all season.

A week after posting just 29 yards on ten rushing attempts against the Falcons, Walker was ineffective once again against a middling Colts rush defense. Zach Charbonnet, meanwhile, had eight rushes for 31 yards and ran 16 pass routes to 14 routes for Walker. With one rushing touchdown since Week 4 and no path to consistent pass game usage in the balanced Seattle offense, Walker is barely usable in any fantasy format. The Seahawks backfield is perfectly formulated to destroy all potential fantasy value. They play the Rams in Week 16.

Perhaps you’re wondering which part of St. Brown’s game was most impactful for the Lions, and the answer was simply “all of it” because it’s hard to not have all of it when you nearly come up with half (18-of-41) of Jared Goff’s targets. St. Brown delivered two red zone scores, was the key read on most of the game’s third or fourth downs, and most importantly looked healthy the whole way through after Thanksgiving’s ankle scare. St. Brown will be a clear WR1 against the Steelers in Week 16.

One of his touchdown catches came on one of the weirdest non-overturns you’ll ever see, where even FOX’s Dean Blandino appeared confused as to why Parkinson was not ruled short of the goal line. Nevertheless! Parkinson has now caught six touchdowns in six games, a stretch that roughly coincides with Tyler Higbee heading to IR and the Rams losing one mouth to feed from what had been a four-headed TE hydra. Nothing about what Parkinson is doing on the field looks Film Room Impressive, but the way Stafford is slinging it in the red zone and the safety of the role brings up hints of early-season Jake Ferguson. Parkinson should remain on the low-end TE1 landscape against the Seahawks on short rest Thursday.

He added a 10-yard catch on his only target. Williams cashed in on both of Los Angeles’ first two scoring drives on four- and one-yard scampers. They were his only two red zone rushes of the game, but he paid them off. Williams is probably more of a low-end RB2 or RB3 against a good Seahawks defense in Week 16, especially with TNF not giving him much of a breather. He went for 12/91/1 against Seattle in Week 11.
