  • Jonathan Mingo WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Jonathan Mingo: First catch of season

    Mingo caught his only target for a 25-yard gain in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

    His first catch of the season came on the Cowboys' final drive, helping to set up a Brandon Aubrey field goal that got the home side to within a score, but they couldn't recover the subsequent onside kick. Mingo has seen only two targets in three games since making his 2025 debut in Week 12, and it would likely take a rash of injuries ahead of him on the depth chart to get him on the fantasy radar.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Limited usage on offense

    Turpin gained two rushing yards on his lone carry, caught both his targets for 10 yards and added 124 yards on four kickoff returns in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

    The 29-year-old speedster continues to be a force on special teams while seeing limited opportunities on offense. Turpin has topped 100 return yards in five of the last six games, and on the season his 1,336 kickoff return yards are third in the NFL behind Tennessee's Chimere Dike (1,413) and Minnesota's Myles Price (1,405). Turpin does have at least three touches on offense in four straight games, however, putting together a modest 155 yards from scrimmage during that stretch.

  • Tommy Tremble TE | CAR

    Panthers' Tommy Tremble: Two catches vs. New Orleans

    Tremble caught two of four targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Tremble received just four total targets in the Panthers' previous four games, but he matched that total during Sunday's loss. The increase in volume didn't translate to production, as finished the divisional matchup with the fourth-most receiving yards on the team. Tremble has now caught 22 of 31 targets for 199 yards and a touchdown across 14 appearances this season. He's expected to remain the one of the Panthers' top tight ends in the Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Ryan Flournoy WR | DAL

    Cowboys' Ryan Flournoy: Four grabs in Sunday's loss

    Flournoy caught four of five targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

    The four grabs and 40 yards wound up second on the Cowboys behind CeeDee Lamb's 6-111-0 line. Flournoy has caught at least three passes in three straight games, putting together a 16-189-1 line on 21 targets over that stretch, but as long as both Lamb and George Pickens are healthy, the second-year wideout will be a risky fantasy option.

  • Steelers' Marquez Valdes-Scantling: Getting signed to 53-man roster

    The Steelers will sign Valdes-Scantling to the active roster for Monday's game against the Dolphins, Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports.

    Valdes-Scantling was expected to be elevated from the practice squad for a second time Monday, but Pittsburgh will instead add him to the 53-man squad, making him eligible to suit up for the remainder of the 2025 campaign. He was elevated for the team's Week 14 contest against the Ravens, in which he played 31 percent of the offensive snaps and failed to secure his only target. Valdes-Scantling doesn't stand to provide much fantasy value as the team's No. 4 receiver behind DK Metcalf, Adam Thielen and Calvin Austin.

  • Malik Davis RB | DAL

    Cowboys' Malik Davis: Finds end zone in Week 15 loss

    Davis carried the ball eight times for 21 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Vikings.

    Javonte Williams picked up a shoulder injury on the Cowboys' opening drive that cost him the rest of the first half, and in his absence Davis punched in a one-yard TD in the second quarter. The two backs then split backfield duties after Williams' return to begin the second half. Davis has gotten into the end zone twice in the last three games, but Sunday's 10 touches were a season high, and his fantasy appeal will be low as long as Williams is healthy. If the shoulder issue proves to be a limiting factor for Dallas' RB1, however, Davis could see elevated volume again Week 16 against the Chargers.

  • Xavier Legette WR | CAR

    Panthers' Xavier Legette: Continues to underwhelm Sunday

    Legette caught two of three targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 20-17 loss to the Saints.

    Sunday's loss marked Legette's eighth game of the season with two or fewer receptions, though he still finished with the second-most receiving yards on the Panthers. The second-year pro has now caught 30 of 56 targets for 326 yards and three touchdowns across 12 appearances this year. Offensive consistency issues in Carolina likely make Legette too risky a fantasy option for a Week 16 matchup against the Buccaneers.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Makes splash play on one catch

    Hopkins caught his lone target for a 32-yard gain Sunday against the Bengals.

    The veteran wideout did not get a significant bump in snaps despite Rashod Bateman (ankle) being sidelined. Still, Hopkins made his one target count with a big 32-yard catch-and-run that helped set up a Baltimore touchdown. In all, he played just 13 offensive snaps for the second week in a row. Hopkins and the Ravens host the Patriots on Sunday Night Football in Week 16.

  • Jaylen Warren RB | PIT

    Steelers' Jaylen Warren: Added to injury report

    Warren (illness) has been added to the injury report and is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Dolphins.

    It's possible official word on his status won't arrive until roughly 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff. Kenneth Gainwell would lead Pittsburgh's backfield if Warren can't suit up, while rookie Kaleb Johnson would bump up into the No. 2 spot. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Warren woke up sick Monday but is optimistic he'll gain clearance to play.

  • Jordan Mason RB | MIN

    Vikings' Jordan Mason: Does little with 10 carries

    Mason gained 29 rushing yards on 10 carries during Sunday night's 34-26 win over the Cowboys.

    Mason played 36 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 15, again working behind Aaron Jones (58 percent), who was also quiet versus Dallas with just 12 carries for 34 yards. While Mason was not targeted a single time, Jones continues to contribute as a pass-catcher, securing all three of his targets for 31 yards. Mason warrants less fantasy consideration than Jones, and neither are necessarily in the mix as more than flex options, but both RBs will face a plus matchup on the road against the Giants in Week 16.
