Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Russell Wilson officially ruled out for Week 15
Russell Wilson (concussion) has officially been ruled out for the Broncos’ Week 15 game against Arizona.
Fantasy Impact
Wilson was able to practice Friday, but has not cleared concussion protocols and has been ruled out. Wilson suffered the concussion in the Broncos’ Week 14 loss to the Chiefs. Fantasy managers should expect Brett Rypien to make his second start of the season.
Jesse Garcia
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) questionable for Sunday
Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle) is questionable to play in Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Fantasy Impact
Stevenson injured his ankle in Week 14’s win over the Arizona Cardinals, and that same injury will threaten his availability for Week 15. He only practiced one time this week, but the team may have just been being cautious with his recovery. Damien Harris (thigh) is also questionable, so if one or both of them is out, Pierre Strong Jr. or Kevin Harris would be in line for more work against the Raiders.

Trevor Lawrence (toe) questionable for Week 15
Trevor Lawrence (toe) remained limited in practice on Friday. He is officially questionable to play against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact
Lawrence was never quite able to log a full session this week, but the fact that he did practice in some capacity on Thursday and Friday is a good sign. This should invoke plenty of optimism that he will play, though fantasy managers will still want to check back for confirmation on Sunday morning.
Andersen Pickard
Josh Jacobs (quad/hand) questionable to play Week 15
Josh Jacobs (quad/hand) is questionable to play in Week 15’s contest against the New England Patriots.
Fantasy Impact
Jacobs was limited in practice all week due to injuries to his hand and quad. He’s officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday, although it seems more likely than not that he will be able to suit up. The team has to rely on the former first-round pick to be the driving force of their offense, and they would have to turn to Ameer Abdullah if Jacobs can’t go against New England.
