Safety Jaquan Brisker remains out with a concussion. Gordon did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday before getting in a limited session to close the week, giving him a shot at returning to the lineup on Sunday. Gordon has one pass breakup, two TFLs, and two fumble recoveries this year. With multiple key defenders questionable or already ruled out, Chicago’s elite defense could be an easier matchup than expected for Kyler Murray.

We can’t tell you the final score because Hurts was rested for the final 13:17 with the Eagles up 31-0 early in the fourth quarter. The Raiders were technically in Philly, but it seemed like they missed the team plane. Hurts and company badly needed a course correct in this A++ matchup and got just that. Hurts found Dallas Goedert for a pair of short scores before capping his day with a 27-yard touchdown strike to A.J. Brown. The quarterback/wideout duo found the soft spot in between three Raiders. Philly did exactly what was needed to be done vs. an expansion-level Raiders squad, and the good news for fantasy managers is that the good times should keep rolling with another soft Week 16 matchup in the Commanders.

Wharton was added to the injury report on Saturday. Panthers DT Bobby Brown is expected to start in his stead. Wharton has 23 tackles, 17 quarterback pressures and two sacks this season. His loss is unfortunate. The defense will have No. 1 CB Jaycee Horn on the field, though. Horn missed Week 13 after suffering a concussion in Week 12. The Panthers were on bye in Week 14.

Raymond will cut in to Isaac TeSlaa’s fantasy upside. TE Shane Zylstra (knee), RB Sione Vaki (thumb), and OL Taylor Decker (shoulder) are all playing off the questionable line as well. G Kayode Awosika is out off the questionable line. Also inactive for the Lions are: S Thomas Harper, S Kerby Joseph, DL Tyler Lacy, WR Dominic Lovett, CB Nick Whiteside and DL Mekhi Wingo.

Arroyo sustained a knee injury last week and will miss at least one game. That leaves AJ Barner as the only healthy pass-catching tight end for Seattle. He makes for a usable streaming option in 12-team leagues against a Colts defense that has been vulnerable to tight ends for much of the season.

As expected. Los Angeles did not have a single other questionable player. Inactive for the Rams are: QB Stetson Bennett, CB Ahkello Witherspoon, RB Jarquez Hunter, OL Beaux Limmer, and S Tanner Ingle.

Rivers will be under center for the first time since 2020 as the Colts desperately try to stay in the postseason race with Daniel Jones (Achilles) done for the season. He’ll go up against an elite Seattle front seven that will pressure him all day. Colts declared LB Jaylon Carlies, CB Sauce Gardner, RB DJ Giddens, WR Anthony Gould, S Reuben Lowery, TE Will Mallory, and QB Brett Rypien inactive against the Seahawks.

Kamara and Richards were ruled out on Friday. Reid seemingly had a chance to return from his knee injury, practicing in a limited capacity on Thursday and Friday. He will try again next week. Reid accounts for 45 tackles, two quarterback pressures, one sack, two pass breakups and one interception. Saints RB Devin Neal (abdomen) will start again in Kamara’s stead.

Davis went into the blue medical tent in the third quarter and then immediately walked back into the locker room. We’d say that this should help the Bills’ wide receivers get open, but we doubt it would be true.

Bryant was ruled out before the weekend, so there’s nothing of note to see here. The Broncos enter the day at 11-2 and play host to the 9-2-1 Packers.

Simon left in the first quarter, was initially questionable, and then was later ruled out. Owen Pappoe took over at linebacker. This injury could possibly end Simon’s season.
