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.

McDermott says TE Dalton Kincaid (knee), who was a listed as a full participant on Wed and Thurs, will be questionable for Sunday’s game vs. Detroit

Related Players: Dawson Knox

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, if he plays, as the team takes on a Lions defense that ranks 4th in TE aFPA, but there could be a ton of points here, so if you're in a bind he makes sense as a top-15ish option.

WR Keon Coleman is good to go for Sunday and return to the lineup.

Related Players: Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Coleman and Cooper are in the boom/bust WR4 range, as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.
