Browns CB Denzel Ward (knee) is active for Wildcard Round against the Texans.

Ward has been on and off the injury report in the latter portion of the season but will be active for the team’s Wildcard Round game against the Texans. Inactive for the Browns are K Dustin Hopkins, QB Jeff Driskel, WR Cedric Tillman, RB Pierre Strong, CB Kahlef Hailassie, C Luke Wypler, and DE Isaiah McGuire.

Drake London

ATL Wide Receiver #5

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Falcons declared WR Drake London, WR Jamal Agnew, ILB JD Bertrand, OL Michael Jerrell, WR Casey Washington, WR Malik Heath and DL Elijah Garcia inactive for Week 15 against the Buccaneers.

Falcons WR Darnell Mooney is, unfortunately, just a dart-throw FLEX option with London sidelined. Mooney has totaled 45-plus receiving yards just twice this season. Falcons TE Kyle Pitts will continue operating as the No. 1 pass catcher. He should be started as a high-end TE1.

Pickett starting could benefit Bowers, Raiders

December 11, 2025 03:53 PM

Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter preview what Kenny Pickett starting at quarterback for the Raiders means for their passing game, debating if he is a better option than Geno Smith, who has struggled immensely in 2025.

Cade Otton

TB Tight End #88
Buccaneers declared TE Cade Otton, LB SirVocea Dennis, S Tykee Smith, CB Benjamin Morrison, G Elijah Klein, DL Elijah Simmons and QB Connor Bazelak inactive for Week 15 against the Falcons.

Otton is, unfortunately, sidelined by a knee injury. The pass-catching corps gets WR Mike Evans (collarbone) and WR Jalen McMillan (neck) back tonight, though, boosting QB Baker Mayfield’s fantasy-scoring potential. Mayfield will also helpfully have LT Tristan Wirfs (oblique) protecting his blindside this evening.

Buccaneers WR Jalen McMillan (neck) is active for Week 15 against the Falcons.

Mike Evans

TB Wide Receiver #13

Buccaneers WR Mike Evans (collarbone) is active for Week 15 against the Falcons.

Evans takes the field on game day for the first time since Week 7. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler believes Evans will be on “somewhat of a pitch count” in his first game back, though coaches often allow players to play without restrictions if their body responds positively to early-game work. Evans is a tad risky, but his upside remains high. He should probably be in most fantasy lineups.

Michael Mayer

LV Tight End #87
Raiders TE Michael Mayer (ankle) practiced fully on Thursday.

The mediocre blocker should be available to two-hand punch a few chest pads and occasionally earn a target on Sunday. Mayer is largely an afterthought in the Raiders’ passing game, though. His backup, TE Ian Thomas (calf), was limited on Thursday.

Jake Ferguson

DAL Tight End #87

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson (calf) did not practice on Thursday.

Ferguson’s absence is discouraging. It is possible that yesterday’s limited session was because Ferguson suffered the injury in practice. Hopefully, today is just a planned rest day and he can resume practicing tomorrow. The Cowboys face the Vikings’ blitz-based pass defense in Week 15. Having a big-bodied target in the short-to-intermediate field depths would help out QB Dak Prescott.

Davante Adams

LA Wide Receiver #17

Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday.

Last week, the hamstring injury caused Adams to miss practice on Wednesday before logging a limited session on Thursday and practicing fully on Friday. He played on game day but caught just 4-of-6 targets for 29 yards. The Rams face the Lions in what should be a very high-scoring game in Week 15. The Rams are likely just managing Adams’ reps in the lead-up to the big game, though it would be great to see Adams practice on Friday.

Matthew Golden

GB Wide Receiver #0

Packers WR Matthew Golden (wrist) was limited on Thursday.

Golden does not need to be rostered in re-draft formats. His downfield skillset overlaps with WR Christian Watson, and the veteran wide receiver is playing extremely well. Golden will likely handle a small snap share against the Broncos on Sunday.

Jayden Reed

GB Wide Receiver #11
Packers WR Jayden Reed (shoulder) was limited on Thursday.

Reed is on track to play in a tough matchup against the Broncos this week. The Packers’ slot receiver ran a route on 60.0% of the pass plays last week, which was encouraging. Reed is on the FLEX radar once again, though his target volume is likely capped. Packers WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also limited.

Christian McCaffrey

SF Running Back #23

49ers RB Christian McCaffrey (illness) was limited on Thursday.

Players rarely miss games due to illness. We fully expect McCaffrey to play in Week 15 against the Titans. If the 49ers were to jump out to a healthy lead, it is possible the coaching staff gives RB Brian Robinson a little extra work in the fourth quarter, but McCaffrey should be viewed as an elite RB1, regardless.
