Bears HC Ben Johnson labeled WR Luther Burden "day to day" with the ankle injury that knocked him out of the Week 15 win over the Browns. "Still something that we’re working through and talking about," Johnson added. "We’ll see how this week goes, in terms of whether we’ll have him Saturday night." It at least sounds like Burden dodged a serious injury, but consider him iffy for Saturday night's game against the Packers. With WR Rome Odunze likely to miss that one with his foot injury, Chicago could be down to WRs D.J. Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus. We'd expect TE Colston Loveland's role to expand in that case.

Bears HC Ben Johnson admitted Monday that the team might need to shut WR Rome Odunze down to let his injured foot heal. Odunze was active for yesterday's game vs. the Browns but didn't play after aggravating the injury in warmups. "All options are on the table," Johnson said. "We’re gonna do what’s best for Rome. There may be a case where we have to protect him from himself a little bit, just to make sure we get him right and he’ll be able to help us down the road." We'll keep you posted on Odunze's status throughout the week, but don't expect him to play vs. the Packers on Saturday night.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall is iffy for next Monday night's game vs. the Colts after suffering ankle and knee injuries in the Week 15 win over the Titans, HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday. Pearsall was able to return after hurting an ankle on a hip-drop tackle in the first quarter, but a knee injury in the fourth knocked him out. Shanahan said that it's an aggravation of the PCL injury that cost Pearsall six games earlier this season. "It's real painful for awhile, but it can go away," Shanahan said. "Not at all like it was when he first did it, but it does take time for that pain to go away. Hopefully sooner than later." We'll keep you updated on Pearsall's status throughout the week, but fantasy owners should not be banking on him playing against the Colts.

Steelers RB Jaylen Warren is active for tonight's game vs. the Dolphins. He was added to the injury report as questionable with an illness this morning. It adds a little risk to his Week 15 profile, but we're ultimately expecting Warren to play his usual role tonight.

Patriots LB Robert Spillane made the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Bills after entering the weekend questionable with a foot injury that limited his final two days of practice. If you started him in your IDP lineup, though, you probably noticed that Spillane logged absolutely no stats. That's because New England decided to hold out its lead LB and treat him only as an "emergency" option.

Patriots QB Drake Maye threw for a season-low 155 yards in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo. Maye failed to throw a TD pass for only the second time this season, although he delivered his third and fourth rushing TDs of 2025.

The Commanders have decided to shut down QB Jayden Daniels for the final three games of the season, according to multiple reports. That means Marcus Mariota will start the rest of the way.

Ravens rookie LB Teddye Buchanan tore the ACL in his left knee in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Bengals. That ends a debut season in which Buchanan quickly climbed from fourth-round behind to No. 2 LB behind Roquan Smith.

Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is set for surgery to repair a finger injury suffered in the Week 15 win over the Jets, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports. "He’ll miss a few weeks but should be back for the playoffs," Garafolo adds. The rookie seems safe to drop during waiver runs this week. Tuten's absence should leave RB Travis Etienne in a workhorse role the rest of the way. LeQuint Allen will be the No. 2 RB, but he's totaled just 18 carries and 11 targets all season. Allen is worth stashing in deeper fantasy leagues in case Etienne gets hurt in this weekend's game vs. the Broncos.

Colts HC Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that QB Philip Rivers will start again in Week 16 against the 49ers.

Bills RB James Cook delivered 107 rushing yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's comeback win over New England. It's a major shock that Cook managed 22 carries, as the Bills fell behind 21-0 in the second quarter. The veteran RB also added a receiving score on 2 catches for 4 yards.

Colts QB Anthony Richardson has been medically cleared after fracturing his orbital bone on October 12, according to CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz. "The hope is to have him back practicing in the near future," Zenitz adds. Richardson has been out for over two months and isn't exactly what we'd call a polished player. So it might be asking too much to have him play again this season. His odds of getting back out there would probably improve if the Colts are eliminated from playoff contention. (They currently have just an 8% chance to make it, according to The Athletic's Playoff Predictor.) You could stash Richardson in deep 2-QB and superflex leagues, but don't drop anyone of value for him.

Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed tallied 5 receptions for 74 yards on seven targets in Sunday's win over the Colts. All three numbers marked personal bests since he arrived in Seattle ahead of the Week 10 win over Arizona. Shaheed matched WR Cooper Kupp in targets and catches against Indy and beat him in yards. Both guys trailed WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba's lead in each category.

Seahawks QB Sam Darnold went without a TD pass for the third time in five games in Sunday's narrow victory over the Colts. He completed 22 of 36 throws (61.1%) for 271 yards (7.5 yards per attempt), with no TDs or INTs. With one game left to go in Week 15 as of this writing, his fantasy total sits 24th among QBs for the week by ESPN scoring. That will mark his fourth fantasy finish outside the top 20 among the past six weeks.

Packers WR Christian Watson did not suffer a "long-term injury" in Sunday's loss to the Broncos, ESPN's Rob Demovsky reports. Watson was taken to a local hospital for scans on his lungs, per Demovsky, but was able to fly home with the team. "His status for Saturday’s game against the Bears will be determined later in the week," Demovsky adds. It's all good news, but fantasy owners should at least be lining up an alternative plan for Week 16 fantasy lineups. We'll keep you updated on Watson's status throughout the week.

The Steelers have added RB Jaylen Warren to the injury report as questionable for tonight's game against the Dolphins with an illness. His absence would obviously give a large boost to Kenneth Gainwell and likely get rookie RB Kaleb Johnson more involved.

Cardinals RB Bam Knight suffered a "bad" ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Texans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Knight is undergoing an MRI to get a better look at the damage. But he's "unlikely" to play vs. the Falcons this weekend, per Schefter. And it seems like there's a chance he misses the rest of the season. Knight's absence will leave Michael Carter as Arizona's lead back, with Emari Demercado in a change-of-pace, pass-catching role. Carter will be a viable RB3 or Flex in Week 16 fantasy lineups.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride posted a week-winning line in a Week 15 loss at Houston. On a 32.5% target share, the 26-year-old racked up 12 catches, 134 yards, and 2 TDs.

Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs disappeared against the Rams despite the Lions scoring 34 points in the game. He went 13-38-0 on the ground and 4-20-0 through the air on 7 targets. His 9.8 PPR fantasy points were still more than teammate David Montgomery, who caught no passes in the game. Montgomery scored a TD, going 7-32-1 on the ground. The offense settled into QB Jared Goff’s hands, throwing the ball 41 times in the game.

Jaguars RB Travis Etienne lit up the score board going 3-73-3 through the air on 4 targets while struggling on the ground going 12-32-0. This comes with QB Trevor Lawrence throwing 5 TDs (and running for one more). Lawrence and Etienne led the Jaguars to 48 total points against the Jets as they continue fighting to win the AFC South.
