Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert (hand) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, but he informed the gathered media that he's further along than he was at this point last week, with his grip strength improving. In a gutsy Monday night win over the Eagles, he completed fewer than 50% of his passes for under 150 yards and one touchdown. He also threw an interception and fumbled twice, while taking a beating all night long. With injuries continuing to mount on the offensive line, he faced 26 pressures and was sacked seven times, with notable contact made to his injured non-throwing hand throughout the game. The Chargers face another swarming defense in Week 15 when they travel to Kansas City. Playing behind a battered offensive line that has been overmatched for most of the season, Herbert is RotoBaller's QB20 heading into the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Kamara has yet to practice since he suffered a sprained MCL in Week 12 against the Atlanta Falcons. Rookie RB Devin Neal (abdomen) was limited to begin the week as well. That leaves Audric Estime and Evan Hull as the only healthy running backs on the Saints' roster. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of these two backs ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers. This would be a situation to avoid for fantasy managers if both Kamara and Neal are unable to suit up. With the Saints out of playoff contention, it's unlikely they will rush Kamara back, so fantasy managers should not expect to have him available this weekend.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (rib) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday. Pierce suffered an undisclosed injury at the end of last week's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but now we know it was a rib ailment. It doesn't appear to be anything serious with Pierce already back to being a full participant in practice. Fantasy managers should fully expect Pierce to be ready to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 15 on Sunday on the road. His fantasy value will take a hit with quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles) out for the rest of the season. Pierce isn't as appealing with either Philip Rivers or Riley Leonard (knee) making the start in a tough road matchup this weekend.

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (ankle) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice. Lawrence didn't have any kind of wrap on his ankle when addressing the media, though. It seems like a minor injury that shouldn't keep him out of the upcoming Week 15 matchup against the New York Jets on Sunday, but we'll continue to keep a close eye on his status over the next couple of days. Lawrence has played better lately, with multiple touchdown passes in three straight games. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for another update on his status. Lawrence should offer low-end QB1 value for this weekend as long as his ankle won't limit his mobility inside and outside of the pocket.

The Detroit Lions were awarded CB Jalen Mills off waivers from the Houston Texans Wednesday, Dec. 10, and in a corresponding move, TE Hayden Rucci was waived.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson (shin) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. Hockenson logged his lowest snap count of the season at 56 percent during last week's win over the Washington Commanders, catching two of three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown. Hockenson could have picked up this shin issue during the game, which led to more time on the sideline. Regardless, Hockenson will need to be monitored throughout the week. If the injury is serious enough to keep him out, Josh Oliver figures to see an expanded role during the Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. Oliver hauled in two receptions for 24 yards and two touchdowns during last week's victory.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. According to head coach Mike Macdonald, Arroyo is day-to-day due to a lingering knee issue. Arroyo exited early during last week's blowout win over the Atlanta Falcons and is in danger of missing the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 15. The absence of Arroyo would mean an expanded role for AJ Barner this weekend. Barner would make for a more intriguing TE2 streamer in fantasy football if Arroyo is eventually ruled out for Sunday's game. The 22-year-old rookie has only 15 receptions for 179 yards and one touchdown in his first 13 NFL games, leaving him off the radar in most redraft leagues.

Atlanta Falcons running back Tyler Allgeier tallied double-digit carries in Week 14's 37-9 loss to the Seahawks, rushing 11 times for 34 scoreless yards (3.1 YPC), but managed to salvage his fantasy day by recording two catches for 33 yards. His work in the passing game, albeit small, is an interesting revelation, as the BYU product recorded just one game out of nine played with Michael Penix Jr. (knee) in which he tallied two receptions, however, he's done so in three of four games with Kirk Cousins at the helm. If nothing else, it increases his fantasy floor and could make him a more viable flex option going forward. The 25-year-old, with eight touchdowns already this year, will take on a Buccaneers defense that has yielded the 13th-most fantasy points to opposing running backs this season. Although he's firmly behind Bijan Robinson in the backfield pecking order, he continues to get red zone opportunities (four each last week) and should be a priority handcuff for Robinson managers. The fourth-year pro projects as an RB4/Flex play for Thursday Night Football, and could even see a small uptick in usage given the short turnaround from Sunday, as Robinson had less time than normal to recover.

The New York Giants released WR Ray-Ray McCloud Wednesday, Dec. 10.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pieiro (hamstring) practiced in full on Wednesday and is expected to return in Week 15. Pineiro has missed the previous two games due to a hamstring injury. Still, with extra time to recover from the bye week, Pineiro is expected to return to face the Tennessee Titans. The sixth-year veteran is having a career season, making all 22 field goal attempts this season, and ranking as the 6th-ranked kicker on a per-game basis. With the 49ers listed as big favorites and one of the highest implied totals of the weekend, Pineiro is a sneaky option as a kicker this week for fantasy purposes.

From RotoBaller

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins completed just 15 of 30 pass attempts in Week 14 for 162 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions, both of which came in the second half as the Falcons tried to play catch-up in what turned out to be a 37-9 blowout loss despite being tied 6-6 at the half. The 37-year-old now owns a 3:3 TD:INT through four starts, and will be without top receiver Drake London (knee) for a third straight game, leaving Darnell Mooney, Kyle Pitts Sr. (knee), and Bijan Robinson as the team's top passing options. The veteran has seen a lot of success when targeting his 6-foot-6 tight end, but it seems Pitts is inexplicably not an option in the red zone, with the 25-year-old last receiving a red zone target back in Week 9, while the likes of David Sills V and Dylan Drummond commanded a total of five red zone targets in Week 14 alone. If Cousins can focus his attention on the team's top talent, there could be an opportunity to be fantasy relevant, however, the 4x Pro Bowler is outside the QB2 range for Thursday Night Football.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison (achilles) was limited in Wednesday's practice as they prepare to face the Dallas Cowboys. Addison was able to play and finish last week's game against the Washington Commanders, where he had 62 yards on four receptions. The third-year receiver has regressed in 2025, due to lackluster quarterback play, as he's hauled in 37 of 70 targets for 510 yards and three touchdowns in 10 games. He faces a fantastic matchup in Week 15 against the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While examining the practice reports for Thursday and Friday will be important, if this Achilles issue is a non-factor, Addison offers a starting value in Week 15.

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) and WR Tutu Atwell (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 10. CB Darious Williams (tibia) was a full participant, and LB Byron Young (knee) was limited during the session.

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (rest), WR Derius Davis (ankle), LB Troy Dye (hip), LB Khalil Mack (rest), DB Elijah Molden (hamstring) and OL Trey Pipkins (ankle) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 10. TE Will Dissly (shoulder), QB Justin Herbert (hand) and WR Ladd McConkey (foot) were limited participants.

Los Angeles Rams WR Davante Adams (hamstring) did not practice Thursday, Dec. 10, due to a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Spin: Adams also missed practice last Wednesday to rest his hamstring, so as long as he returns to the practice field later this week, he will likely be ready to suit up in Week 15. Adams currently leads the league with 14 touchdown receptions, and his nose for the end zone makes him a weekly WR2 candidate.

From TheHuddle

Los Angeles Chargers WR Keenan Allen (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Fantasy Spin: Allen and his teammates just played Monday against Philadelphia, so this is no surprise. Expect Allen to be ready for Week 15. He remains a useful WR3 or flex fantasy option in PPR formats, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play.

From TheHuddle

Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (hamstring) did not participate in Wednesday's practice and is not looking good heading into this week's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Bryant appeared on the injury report late last week with a hamstring injury, which limited him during Thursday and Friday's practices before Week 14. According to Broncos Insider Benjamin Allbright, Bryant is expected to be sidelined for Week 15. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will determine whether he can play in Week 15, but Troy Franklin would be the biggest beneficiary if Bryant misses this week.

From RotoBaller

Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice as they prepare to face the Dallas Cowboys. Jones suffered a shoulder injury in Week 13's loss to the Seattle Seahawks, but was able to play and produce in the 31-0 win over the Washington Commanders. Jones' shoulder injury doesn't appear to be a hindering factor in Week 15, as he prepares for a former foe in the Cowboys. They have given up the fourth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Jones has dominated them in the past, averaging 157 scrimmage yards and scoring six touchdowns in three career games against them. Assuming Jones is cleared for this week, he is a solid RB2 option for fantasy managers this week.

From RotoBaller

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Dec. 10.

Fantasy Spin: Mahomes has been a boom-or-bust play this season, lighting up some of the league's worst defenses and struggling against tougher competition. Facing a stout Chargers' defense in Week 15 that limited him to one touchdown pass in the season opener. Mahomes is better used as a QB2.

From TheHuddle

While the Los Angeles Rams held a walkthrough on Wednesday, it was expected that veteran wide receiver Davante Adams would not have participated if it were a full-padded practice. According to Nate Atkins of The Athletic, Adams doesn't appear to be in danger of missing this weekend's game against the Detroit Lions. Adams has missed several Wednesday practice sessions this season due to hamstring soreness, but that hasn't affected his ability to play in games. In 13 games this season, he has hauled in 56 of 105 targets for 718 yards and a league-leading 14 touchdowns, paving the way to a WR6 ranking this season. The Rams face the Lions in Week 15, who have allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Thursday and Friday's practice reports will be key in determining Adams' availability this week, but if healthy, fire up the star receiver as a WR1 in an easy matchup.
