RB Alvin Kamara and RT Asim Richards remained absent from Saints practice Thursday. And DT Davon Godchaux was absent as usual, as the Saints routinely rest him on Thursdays.

RT Taliese Fuaga was practicing again. And S Justin Reid appeared to increase his participation.

Looks like it could be another week of Devin Neal, who found the end zone en route to a 14.9-point day against the Buccaneers. If Kamara is still sidelined, consider him a fringe RB2/3 option in Week 15.

Woody Marks, Trent Brown, Azeez Al-Shaair, Denico Autry returned to practice today. Nick Chubb (ribs) sidelined still

Related Players: Dare Ogunbowale

So not only has Marks returned to practice, he could be in line to play Week 15 without Chubb in the backfield. It would be very unlikely that the veteran Ogunbowale steals enough work to make a major impact on Marks, so if the rookie is out there, he should be viewed as a fringe RB1/2 in a great matchup.

Packers coach Matt LaFleur said RB Josh Jacobs (knee) likely will miss his second straight day of practice, and they will see where he’s at tomorrow.

“He’s been battling through it. We’ll see.”

Related Players: Emanuel Wilson, Chris Brooks

Wilson would more than likely get the RB1 treatment if Jacobs misses Week 15, and he delivered a huge 25.5-point performance last time that happened. Make sure he's not available on your waiver wires as a potential fantasy spot-start option.

Dolphins RB De'Von Achane will be practicing Thursday in a red, non-contact jersey for limited participation," coach Mike McDaniel said.

"It'll be a gradual increase in activity and physicality," McDaniel said.

Related Players: Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon

McDaniel said Achane likely would have returned to last week's game if it were a closer contest, so we shouldn't be too concerned about his Week 15 availability. Even if Wright earns a few extra touches, Achane should be locked in as a fantasy RB1, unless he has some sort of set-back later in the week.

The Falcons ruled out WR Drake London for Thursday night.

Related Players: Darnell Mooney, David Sills, Dylan Drummond, Deven Thompkins

The Falcons WR room is mostly down to guys most of us have never heard of. Mooney has not been able to step up his game in London's absence, so he should be considered down in WR4 territory, while Kyle Pitts should be fired up as a low-end TE1.

Raiders QB Geno Smith, dealing with a shoulder injury, is considered unlikely to start on Sunday, sources say. He won’t practice today.

That would put Kenny Pickett in line to start against the Eagles, his former team.

This is not a good spot-start situation for Pickett, on a Raiders offense that is one of the hardest to watch in the league. There are better SuperFlex options in Week 15.

Commanders QB Jayden Daniels, who suffered another left elbow injury vs. the Vikings, is out for Washington’s upcoming game vs the Giants.

Related Players: Marcus Mariota

Mariota is back up in a good matchup against a Giants defense that ranks 30th in QB aFPA. Consider him a streaming option in the top-15 range.

Cardinals are not activating RB Trey Benson; his season is over.

Related Players: Zonovan Knight, Michael Carter, Corey Kiner

It'll be a one-two punch of Knight + Carter over the last month of the season, but sadly, that hasn't been particularly great for fantasy. Knight is the more reliable option of the two for Week 15, but the team is leaning heavily into the passing game, and the Texans rank 4th in RB aFPA, making him an RB3 with limited upside.

Bowles said Mike Evans has shown everything he needed to show in practice to get activated and make his return Thursday vs. Falcons.

Related Players: Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin

Good timing for the Bucs as Egbuka has struggled a bit as of late, so all three of their top options hitting the field is a nice boost for Baker Mayfield. With that said, Auman followed up this tweet by saying, "I'd think they're careful with him, but they need to win the game, so the scoreboard will have a say in it too."

We should take this to mean that Evans will be back on the sideline if Tampa Bay has a comfortable lead, so that could cap his ceiling in fantasy. Consider him more of a WR3, but we could see better upside in the following two contests.

Mike Evans has now opened the week with back-to-back limited tags on the team's injury report, and he'll look to be a full participant at Wednesday's final session before Week 15.

Evans is looking to return from a broken collarbone and put the Bucs at full strength on offense for the first time since Week 4. We'll update his status from Wednesday's injury report ahead of Thursday's game.
