    NFL Player News for Week 15

    Courtesy of FootballGuys

    GB - RB Eddie Lacy probable in Week 15
    Source: NFL.com
    Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy (hip) is probable for Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills, according to head coach Mike McCarthy. Lacy is improving and is hopeful of practicing Saturday, Dec. 13.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Looks like Lacy's somewhat ominous words earlier this week were probably a false alarm. Lacy is an easy RB1, even on the road against the tough Bills defense.

    ATL - WR Julio Jones questionable for Week 15

    Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones (hip) is questionable for the team's Week 15 game. Jones did not practice Friday, Dec. 12.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    He's a game-time decision, but still almost impossible to bench if he's active because of the matchup and his performance last week.

    MIN - RB Adrian Peterson's appeal denied
    Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
    Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson's appeal of his suspension has been denied by the appointed appeals officer. Peterson likely will be reinstated if he does what he needs to do between now and April 15. Peterson could take his case to federal court.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    If you were holding onto him in any redraft leagues, you can drop Peterson. Matt Asiata remains the starter with Jerick McKinnon on injured reserve, but there's nothing to see there in the Vikings running game right now.

    HOU - WR Andre Johnson a game-time decision?
    Source: HoustonTexans.com - Drew Dougherty
    Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson (concussion) is still going through the concussion protocol, and he's listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Indianapolis Colts. He was limited in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and head coach Bill O'Brien said a decision on whether Johnson will play this week will likely be made just before game time Sunday, Dec. 14.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Johnson hasn't bee putting up great numbers anyway, so he wasn't that attractive of an option to begin with. Set your lineups without him for now. DeAndre Hopkins could more targets if Johnson is out, but he'll get more attention too.

    DEN - TE Julius Thomas to have full workload?
    Source: ESPN.com - Jeff Legwold
    Denver Broncos TE Julius Thomas (ankle) had a full practice Friday, Dec. 12, his first full workout since suffering a left ankle injury Nov. 16 in the loss to the St. Louis Rams. Thomas was active in Week 14 but didn't play a single snap, and he's probable for Week 15 against the San Diego Chargers. Unless he suffers a setback in pre-game workouts, Thomas is expected to play against the Chargers and have close to his usual workload.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This is the sign Thomas's owners were looking for to signal that he is worth starting as we had before his ankle injury. This is great for Peyton Manning owners too, who should see the pass offense open up a little more with Thomas at full speed.

    IND - WR T.Y. Hilton has owned Houston
    Source: ESPN.com - Mike Wells
    Indianapolis Colts WR T.Y. Hilton had nine catches for 223 yards and a touchdown in the matchup against the Houston Texans earlier this year, and he has 31 grabs for 611 yards and six touchdowns in five career games against them. Hilton has had at least 11 yards in three of the five games against the Texans, and he went for 78 yards in each of the other two contests. Other teams often provide help over the top against Hilton, but the Texans typically only use CB Johnathan Joseph on Hilton.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    This could allow Donte Moncrief to run free. He only needs a couple of big plays from Andrew Luck to have a strong week, making him an enticing play for underdogs.

    Miami Dolphins TE Charles Clay (hamstring, knee) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Clay and Dion Sims will likely split the TE work making neither a viable play at New England.

    New England Patriots WR Brandon LaFell (shoulder) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    LaFell has been pretty steady this year and he makes for a solid WR3/Flex option as long as he is active against the Dolphins.

    New England Patriots WR Julian Edelman (thigh) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.

    Edelman should be good to go against the Dolphins, but check back on Sunday morning just in case if you're planning on starting him.

    SD - RB Ryan Mathews fine to play?
    Source: ESPN.com - Eric D. Williams
    San Diego Chargers RB Ryan Mathews (ankle), who hasn't practiced all week and is listed as questionable for Week 15 against the Denver Broncos, could still be part of the game plan Sunday, Dec. 14, according to head coach Mike McCoy. “He’ll be fine,” McCoy said. “He’s played plenty of football in his career, and he knows what to do. He’s been here. He’s been in the system for the two years we’ve been here together, so he’ll be fine.” RB Branden Oliver handled the bulk of the work when Mathews missed seven games this year, but since, he's had just 144 yards in six games.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Mathews not being able to practice indicates otherwise. The game is a late starter, so you'll need one of the Chargers backs, or someone like Darren Sproles or Pierre Thomas from a night game to hedge.

    NE - RB Shane Vereen's status in question
    Source: Patriots.com
    New England Patriots RB Shane Vereen (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as questionable for Week 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Vereen hasn't been a good fantasy option all season, with the exception of a breakdown in the Jets coverage that allowed him a two touchdown game, and a decent game when he scored in a win over Denver. He's nothing but a desperation option.

    CAR - Probable status for RB Jonathan Stewart

    Carolina Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart (hip) practiced in full for the second straight day Friday, Dec. 12, and is probable for Week 15 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Stewart will get the bulk of the work in the Panthers backfield, and Cam Newton's absence could make him the #1 option at the goal line. He's worth a look as your RB2 this week.

    KC - RB Jamaal Charles probable for Week 15

    Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles (ankle, knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Dec. 12, and is listed as probable for Week 15.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    It sounds like there is no reason to worry about Charles condition or workload entering his Week 15 tilt against the Raiders. Charles had five touchdowns in Week 15 against the Raiders last year.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Johnson has a good matchup and should get about half of the backfield work against his old team. He's worth a look as a flex play.

    San Diego Chargers P Mike Scifres (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 15. DT Ryan Carrethers (elbow) is listed as doubtful, while TE Ladarius Green (ankle, concussion) and DT Corey Liuget (ankle) are listed as questionable. Scifres did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 12, while the other players were limited.
    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    If Green can't go, that could help Antonio Gates snag an extra target or three against the Broncos.

    Wayne is too banged up to trust this week, but he could get a full complement of snaps and hurt Donte Moncrief's chances of coming through for owners pressed to put him this week because of injury or depth problems.

    Douglas is worth carrying if you own Julio Jones and need an injury hedge in case Jones is inactive. Douglas had a 9-116 game in place of Roddy White two weeks ago.

    White could have a big week in PPR leagues if Julio Jones is out, and he faces a good matchup either way. He is not 100%, but White can still help fantasy teams win this weekend.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]
    Most sources still consider him questionable to doubtful as he didn't look good in practice today. Don't count on him, although this does cast a little doubt on Kamar Aiken's status as a starter. Smith could be used as mostly a decoy as he was last week because his knee flared up after inactives were announced.

    I know Julio Jones is a big decision for lots of folks tomorrow and coach Mike Smith says it’s a game time decision. But the vibe is turning negative. This isn’t official of course but D. Orlando Ledbetter that covers the Falcons had this early today on how much Jones would be used if he played.

    he'd be a decoy. Can barely run

    Things can change and the Falcons staff, not Ledbetter will make the decision tomorrow. But Ledbetter is close to this and when he’s worried, you should be worried. Fortunately, it’s a 1 PM kickoff so we’ll have the news well before the early kickoffs tomorrow. But if Jones is your guy, you need to be prepared for alternate plans.

    Have a great Saturday.
