For updates on more banged-up WRs Christian Watson, Demario Douglas, and Marquise Brown,.WEEK 15 FANTASY: | Taylor (thumb) hasn't played in either of the Colts' past two games, but could he play in Week 15? It seems like a long shot after the RB underwent surgery to repair a torn UCL in his thumb just a few weeks ago. At the time, we were told his recovery timeline would be three-to-five weeks, but Indianapolis didn't place Taylor on IR, holding out hope that the RB could return without having to mi s the mandatory four games. Considering he hasn't logged any practice time since the surgery, it's hard to have confidence in a return for Week 15. The schedule is working against Taylor, with a Saturday matchup with the Steelers looming this week. At the very least, , and his status is TBD for Saturday.Without Taylor, it will continue to be the Zack Mo s show in Indianapolis. Mo s hasn't been as effective in his second stint as the Colts' starter, unable to recapture the magic from early in the season. The volume keeps him on the fantasy radar, however, despite a clear lack of efficiency. With that in mind,
Christian Laettner Jersey it's worth wondering if Taylor pushes for a return to action in an effort to keep the Colts' playoff hopes alive. The team is currently 7-6 in a crowded AFC. We think it will be another week before Taylor returns, but whether he'll be limited or not remains to be seen.WEEK 15 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | | Pacheco (shoulder) was a somewhat-surprising inactive in Week 14, unable to practice at all. The RB popped up with a shoulder contusion following a physical game against the Packers, but the Chiefs indicated that it wasn't believed to be a long-term i sue. Those questions that were swirling around a seem to indicate Pacheco could end up mi sing another game. The tough runner is no stranger to contact, making an injury feel almost inevitable with the heavy workload put on the RB this season. The Chiefs are in New England this weekend to battle the lowly Patriots, so it will be interesting to see if there's any urgency regarding Pacheco's return to play.WEEK 15 STANDARD RANKINGS: | | | | |
Grant Long Jersey Suddenly, things have gotten very interesting for Kansas City, who is only one game ahead of the Broncos for the lead in the AFC West. More important, the Chiefs' inability to throw the ball with any consistency has made for a miserable season of drops, mi sed opportunities, and plenty of complaining. The best evidence of all these struggles is that K.C. is basically operating as a run-first team now, with the former Rutgers star already besting his 2022 workload in just 12 games. As long as he plays, he's worth keeping in the lineup, especially with his touchdown upside. Without him, we're looking at a Clyde Edwards-Helaire split with Jerick McKinnon once again. Robinson (hamstring) left the Commanders' Week 13 lo s to the Dolphins early and did not return. News has been hard to come by for the RB since suffering the hamstring injury thanks to Washington being on a bye following the game. While injuries like these are often hard to predict, the added week of rest likely did wonders for Robinson. His initial practice designation should provide an idea of what to expect as the week unfolds.The Commanders are set to take on the Rams in Week 15, a tough matchup for Robinson and this offense. Washington's offensive line has left plenty to be desired this season, often serving QB Sam Howell up on a silver platter to oncoming pa s rushers. With Aaron Donald on the other side of the line this week, he has a big chance to completely wreck this game for everyone in burgundy and gold. Robinson's outlook is capped by that reality, continuing the inconsistent production that fantasy owners know all too well at this point in the year. If Robinson is forced to mi s time, Antonio Gibson will
Kentavious Caldwell-Pope Jersey lead the way in the backfield, with Chris Rodriguez Jr. also getting some carries. Gibson would be a must-start in that scenario.Stevenson (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain on Dec. 3 against the Chargers, an injury that is . He mi sed the first of those few weeks against the Steelers on Thursday night, and it remains unlikely that the RB will get back into game action this week.Ezekiel Elliott filled in admirably for the injured Stevenson, posting 140 total yards and a touchdown. The Patriots are officially eliminated from playoff contention and are currently in a race for the No. 1 pick in April's draft. With that in mind, it's hard to believe Stevenson suits up for New England again this season.Jones (knee) had a chance to play on Monday night against the Giants, originally
Reggie Jackson Jersey listed as "questionable" before being ruled out prior to kickoff. That reality likely wasn't great for fantasy teams that were relying on the Packers' RB, but his is notable and provides some hope moving forward. It marked the first time that Jones was able to practice since sustaining the MCL sprain, and, barring a setback, he should continue that trend in advance of Week 15's contest against the Buccaneers.If you were lucky enough to make the fantasy playoffs, we know for a fact that it's no thanks to Jones. The running back has been consistently injured and inconsistent when on the field. His inclusion in any fantasy lineup at this stage should come with an "enter at your own risk" warning. This is not the Jones of old, and it's certainly not the same Packers either. Green Bay's offense is too hit-or-mi s to warrant taking the plunge, especially when the Buccaneers' biggest weakne s on defense is their secondary.
