Week 15 Overview

Downs has averaged just 3 receptions and 29.3 yards across six games since returning from his Week 7 absence. Combine that with losing his QB and facing the league's sixth-toughest WR defense, and you should look elsewhere for WR upside.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and ESPN's Adam Schefter report that Colts QB Philip Rivers will start Sunday's game vs. the Seahawks. It's been trending in this direction for the past few days. Rapoport adds that Rivers and QB Riley Leonard both got first-team reps in practice this week and both could play against Seattle. We imagine that'll only happen if Rivers struggles or gets hurt -- but either outcome is plenty possible. Rivers is 44 and hasn't played since 2020. Stay far away from this situation in Week 15 fantasy lineups. All of Indianapolis' skill-position players sit lower than usual in the Week 15 rankings.

ESPN's Stephen Holder believes the Colts are preparing to start QB Philip Rivers vs. the Seahawks on Sunday. "Two days in now, and my time in the building this week has left me only MORE convinced Philip Rivers is this week's starting quarterback," Holder wrote. "It isn't difficult to tell who a team is prepping to start. That player is Rivers. Period." It's not shocking that the Colts don't want to start sixth-round rookie QB Riley Leonard in Seattle. But they'll instead go with a 44-year-old who hasn't played since 2020 and joined the team just a few days ago. Rivers is at least comfortable in HC Shane Steichen's offense, but we don't imagine this going particularly well. Rivers isn't a viable starter in any fantasy format, and Colts pass catchers remain risky bets in Week 15 fantasy lineups.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Colts QB Daniel Jones needs surgery to repair a ruptured right Achilles. That ends Jones' season, puts his status for the start of the 2026 campaign in question, and leaves the Colts with a big problem at QB.
