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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
