WEEK 15 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | |
Is Julio Jones playing this week?UPDATE:, so that doesn't bode well for the Falcons ahead of their game against the Buccaneers.
Jones (hamstring) aggravated the hamstring injury that has bothered him all season in the lead-up to the Falcons' Week 14 lo s to the Chargers. According to , Falcons interim coach Raheem Morris declared that Jones will be treated as "week-to-week" for the rest of the season.
Brandon Moss Jersey Usually, when a player is listed as week-to-week, it means that they are set to mi s some time. Jones didn't practice on Wednesday, but that has been par for the course for him this season while dealing with the injury. If he doesn't practice on Thursday, that will probably indicate that he will have trouble suiting up against the Buccaneers.
If Jones can't play against Tampa Bay, Ru sell Gage will serve as the Falcons' No. 2 receiver and will have a chance to be a great WR3/flex play. He was very productive against Mike Moustakas Jersey the Chargers last week, and while the Bucs have a much better defense, Gage should still have the volume needed to be a solid play in most fantasy formats.
WEEK 15 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: |
Is John Brown playing this week?Brown (ankle) was designated to return from IR by the Bills, but he won't be playing in Denver this Saturday. Sean McDermott confirmed as much, per . Brown should have a chance to play in Week 16 when the Bills take on the Patriots.
With Brown out again, Gabriel Davis will serve as the No. 3 receiver for the Bills. Davis has caught a TD in each of the three games that Brown has mi sed, so the rookie does have some upside, especially against a Jorge Soler Jersey banged-up Broncos secondary. Feel free to utilize him as a flex play if you need some receiver depth.
WEEK 15 FANTASY: | |
Is Kenny Golladay playing this week?UPDATE:. This is par for the course. Expect him to mi s another week of action.
Golladay George Brett Jersey (hip) hasn't played since Week 8 and hasn't been able to practice since before Thanksgiving. He was once again absent from Lions practice on Wednesday, so that's a bad sign as he looks to return to the field.
If Golladay can't suit up on Thursday, he will likely be heading toward another absence. With Golladay out, Marvin Jones has been the No. 1 receiver for the Lions while T.J. Hockenson has gotten more value at TE. Those two should continue to be solid starts with Danny Amenolda having some potential value as a PPR flex, even if Chase Daniel is forced to start for Detroit. Aside from those three, the Lions don't have any relevant fantasy pa s-catchers.
WEEK 15 DFS CASH LINEUPS: |
Is DeVante Parkerplaying this week?UPDATE:Parker was limited Ryan O Hearn Jersey again at Thursday's practice. If he can stay limited or be upgraded to a full participant on Friday, he should have at least a chance to suit up against the Patriots.
Parker (hamstring) mi sed more than half of the Dolphins' game against the Chiefs in Week 14 after suffering a hamstring strain. However, he was able to log a limited practice on Wednesday, so that's a good sign that he may be available against the Patriots in Week 15.
It's worth noting that hamstring injuries do tend to linger, so Parker will need to be watched closely in practice the rest of the week. That said, if he does continue to practice in a limited basis or if he gets upgraded to full participation, that should give him a chance to play.
If Parker does suffer a setback or needs a week to get fully healthy, Mack Hollins and Lynn Bowden would see bigger roles in the Dolphins' pa sing game. Bowden is the Burch Smith Jersey better play thanks to his RB/WR versatility and his PPR upside.
WEEK 15 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | |
Is Marquise Brown playing this week?Brown was one of three Ravens receivers to land on the COVID list this week along with James Proche and Miles Boykin. It's unclear whether the wideouts placed on the list tested positive or if they were just close contacts to a positive test.
If Brown tested positive, he will be out against the Jaguars, and that would open up more targets for Willie Snead and Mark Andrews while providing Devin Duvernay the opportunity to earn more snaps. If Brown is just a close contact, he will have a chance to clear COVID protocol in time to play in Sunday's game. Brown has caught a TD in three straight outings, so he has upside against a Jaguars defense that Terrance Gore Jersey has been weak against WRs this year.
