Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is questionable to return to Sunday’s game against the Browns with an ankle injury.

Mahomes took a hit during the fourth quarter and was slow to get up after his ankle appeared to get rolled up on. Carson Wentz is now in at quarterback. The Chiefs have a two-touchdown lead late in the game. The Chiefs may choose to let Mahomes rest for the remainder of the game. The Chiefs have a somewhat short week coming up as they play on Saturday against the Texans before another short week leading to their Christmas Day game against the Steelers.

Browns RB Nick Chubb left Sunday’s game against the Chiefs with a foot injury.

Chubb went to the medical tent and then eventually the locker room in the third quarter and was ruled out shortly after. Chubb had nine carries for 41 yards before leaving. Jerome Ford came in and scored on a 62-yard run.

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride (knee) is off the injury report and good to go for Sunday vs. the Patriots.

Related Players: Elijah Higgins

You know the drill by now. Start McBride absolutely everywhere.

Steelers ruled out wide receiver George Pickens for Sunday’s game against the Eagles due to his hamstring injury.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Mike Williams, Scott Miller, Van Jefferson

We really can't trust any of the Pittsburgh WR options here in the first round of the playoffs, particularly against the Eagles' defense. Russell Wilson can also comfortably be faded in all formats.

Packers HC Matt LaFleur told reporters today that WR Romeo Doubs and S Evan Williams now have cleared concussion protocol.

Related Players: Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, Bo Melton

Even if Doubs missed this week, it's still nearly impossible to know where the ball is going to go in this passing offense. Doubs makes for a boom/bust WR4, with Reed coming in as a boom/bust WR3.

Saints HC Darren Rizzi announced QB Jake Haener will start Sunday vs. the Commanders.

Related Players: Spencer Rattler

Haener has completed 48.3% of his 29 passes for one touchdown while adding 15 yards on the ground. He shouldn't be considered in any league size in Week 15.

Jeff Ulbrich says RB Breece Hall is "looking good" to play Sunday for the Jets.

They are "hopeful" for CB D.J. Reed. CB Brandin Echols is doubtful.

KR/RB Kene Nwangwu will be put on IR with a broken hand.

Related Players: Braelon Allen, Isaiah Davis

This comes as quite a bit of a surprise and could easily mean he plays in a limited role, which really muddies up the whole situation. If that's the case, this backfield may be an entire avoid with no bye weeks in the first round of Fantasy Playoffs, with Hall falling somewhere in the RB2-RB3 range.

Browns rule out WR Cedric Tillman (concussion) for Sunday vs.
Chiefs.
TE David Njoku (hamstring), LG Joel Bitonio (back), DT Mike Hall Jr. (knee), CB Myles Harden (tibia) listed as questionable.

Related Players: Jordan Akins, Jerry Jeudy, Elijah Moore

Akins shouldn't be considered a streaming TE option if Njoku misses Sunday's game, as the team has already mentioned that they'll use a "tight end by committee" approach.

As for the WR group, we should expect things to remain top-heavy, with Jeudy operating as a fantasy WR2 and Moore as a low-end WR3.
