Fantasy Football Roster Trends

Key Injuries

  • Daniel Jones (QB – IND): Daniel Jones tore his Achilles and is out for the year. This has us fading all Colts pass-catchers, especially in a tough matchup versus the stingy Seahawks.
  • CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL): CeeDee Lamb left Week 14 with a concussion. Luckily, it was on a Thursday, giving him a few extra days to try to make it back for Week 15.
  • De’Von Achane (RB – MIA): De’Von Achane left the game with injured ribs, though Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel has stated he should be good to go for Week 15.
  • Jayden Daniels (QB – WSH): Jayden Daniels re-injured his elbow and is set to miss Week 15, which brings Marcus Mariota back into the fold as a fringe-QB1 in a plus-matchup against the Giants.

Most Added Players

Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA)

With injury questions surrounding De’Von Achane and Jaylen Wright stepping up with over 100 yards on 24 carries in Week 14, he is the clear back to roster if Achane is held out in Week 15.

Ryan Flournoy (WR – DAL)

With CeeDee Lamb’s status up in the air, Ryan Flournoy would be in line for an expanded Week 15 role if Lamb were to be ruled out this week. In Week 14, Flournoy caught nine passes for over 100 yards and a touchdown.

Harold Fannin Jr. (TE – CLE)

Harold Fannin Jr. has emerged as the top pass-catcher for Shedeur Sanders, who has been named the starter for the rest of the season. Fannin is not just a solid tight end start but also brings borderline Flex appeal moving forward.

Most Dropped Players

Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC)

Isiah Pacheco has again taken a back seat to Kareem Hunt. With no real work in the passing game and a handful of inefficient carries, he’s an easy waiver wire drop.

DJ Moore (WR – CHI)

We hoped with Rome Odunze out that DJ Moore would see his role expand. However, with another dud game where he went for -4 yards, he is someone we don’t want any part of moving forward.

Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL)

With Drake London still on the shelf, Darnell Mooney had obvious upside. However, it’s turned into a simple downside and has not translated into stable production

Final Thoughts

With the playoffs here, simply playing it safe can send you packing. It’s time to swing for the fences in your win-or-go-home game this week. Make sure you stay up to date with all the ever-changing news, and we hope to see you next week.
