D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

D’Andre Swift ran 19 times for 79 yards in Chicago’s Week 15 loss to the Vikings, adding one catch for 10 yards on his only target.

Swift was mostly bottled up — he was stuffed on two fourth-down gos early in the game — but caught fire briefly on Chicago’s first drive of the third quarter, running for 32 of his 79 yards and what looked to be a one-yard touchdown. Unfortunately, Bears backup lineman Doug Kramer lined up at fullback without reporting (or even acknowledging that a referee was on the field) and the penalty nullified the score. Swift’s managed to maintain his fantasy value thanks to Roschon Johnson’s concussion, but he’s a low-end RB2 at best right now even against the Lions depleted defensive line in Week 16.
Bijan Robinson

ATL Running Back #7

Bijan Robinson rushed 22 times for 125 yards in the Falcons’ Week 15 win over the Raiders, adding 10 yards on his lone reception.

The Falcons’ defense was able to limit the Desmond Ridder-led Raiders enough to allow the offense to function primarily through the run, which resulted in 37 team carries to only 17 pass attempts. Robinson’s fourth quarter allowed him to blow by the century mark on the ground on a night the offense managed only one touchdown. They get another weak opponent in the Giants in Week 15, against whom Robinson should have another opportunity for solid volume.
Kirk Cousins

ATL Quarterback #18

Kirk Cousins completed 11-of-17 passes for 112 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in the Falcons’ 15-9, Week 15 win over the Raiders.

The Falcons continue to look lost on offense but were able to largely ride a suffocating defense that held the Raiders to under 150 total yards of offense before their final two possessions. In typical Atlanta fashion, the Falcons could not close the game out while allowing the Raiders to score on their penultimate possession before getting a stop and the ball back with under two minutes to play and no timeouts. They would do enough to get into Hail Mary range with 10 seconds remaining, enough time for two looks a the end zone. The first attempt went through everyone without being touched before a Jessie Bates interception on the second. It was not the cleanest win for the Falcons but they did manage to escape Week 15 still one game back of the division-leading Buccaneers with three games left to play. Up next for Cousins and the Falcons are the struggling Giants at home in Week 16.
Caleb Williams

CHI Quarterback #18

Caleb Williams completed 18-of-31 passes for 191 yards and a touchdown in Chicago’s 30-12, Week 15 loss to the Vikings.

A late touchdown while trailing 27-6 made the line a little more fantasy-viable. Williams spent most of the first half setting up screens, and when unleashed later in the game, caused Joe Buck to deadpan “the ball just doesn’t come out.” He had a couple nice balls, but the timing on anything the Bears passing game does beyond attacking the flats feels like it is happening in slow motion, and when Williams scrambles his ball placement gets scrambled with him. “As I watch him, I can tell he’s a defeated guy,” Troy Aikman said after Williams took a 10-second sack and essentially pratfalled in exhaustion on the Chicago bench in the fourth quarter. The Bears get to run it back against a depleted Lions defense in Week 16, but Williams hasn’t shown enough to be a sure QB2 recently.
Sincere McCormick

LV Running Back #28

Raiders RB Sincere McCormick (ankle) questionable to return to Week 15 against the Falcons.

McCormick left the game in the second quarter after injuring his ankle in the opening frame. It’s a big loss to a Raiders team that ranks 32nd in rush yards per game but had seemed to find a spark with McCormick in the backfield the previous two weeks. McCormick managed eight yards on seven carries and 17 yards on two receptions prior to departing.
Aidan O'Connell

LV Quarterback #12

Raiders QB Aidan O’Connell (knee) is inactive for Week 15 against the Falcons.

O’Connell failed to practice in any capacity this week but the Raiders took the decision to the wire, reportedly working him out prior to the release of inactives before making a final determination. He was deemed unable to go, paving the way for recent acquisition Desmond Ridder to draw the start against the Falcons. The Raiders will also be without standout defensive end Maxx Crosby who elected to have season-ending surgery on his knee this week. Also inactive for the Raiders are DE Charles Snowden, CB Sam Webb, and OL Andrus Peat.
D'Andre Swift

CHI Running Back #4

Bears RB D’Andre Swift (groin) is active for Week 15 against the Vikings.

The Bears find a collective sigh of relief after ruling Roschon Johnson out earlier in the week. Swift managed just a lone limited session this week while dealing with a groin injury but will be on the field as the Bears take on the division rival Vikings. Inactive for the Bears are DT Gervon Dexter, LT Braxton Jones, RB Roschon Johnson, OL Ryan Bates, DB Ameer Speed, and LB Noah Sewell.
Quentin Johnston

LAC Wide Receiver #1

Chargers listed Quentin Johnston (ankle) as a DNP on Monday’s estimated injury report.

Johnston suffered an ankle injury in Sunday’s loss to the Buccaneers but did manage to play out the remainder of the game. Monday’s DNP designation could simply be a matter of rest as the Chargers look to get him ready to play on a short week on Thursday night. We’ll see if things look any different on Tuesday or Wednesday’s injury report’s before allowing ourselves to get too concerned about Johnston’s Week 16 availability against the Broncos.
Justin Herbert

LAC Quarterback #10

Chargers listed Justin Herbert (ankle) as limited on Monday’s estimated practice report.

Herbert played through the same ankle injury in Week 15’s loss to the Buccaneers and should be fine for a pivotal Week 16 game against the Broncos on Thursday night. We’ll see how things like a little closer to game day, but Herbert opening the week as a limited participant is a good sign for his availability.
David Montgomery

DET Running Back #5

Lions coach Dan Campbell said David Montgomery (knee) would undergo season-ending surgery.

A brutal day for the Lions gets even worse as Montgomery goes from out indefinitely to out for the season. Montgomery finishes the season with a 185/775/12 rushing line as well as 36 catches for 341 yards. He just signed an extension this season, but with the late date of this injury and the quick “out for season” call, it’s possible the torn MCL has Montgomery missing time this offseason. This firmly places Jahmyr Gibbs as high as RB2 overall in the fantasy ranks this week, behind only Saquon Barkley. It’s also possible it creates a fantasy role for Craig Reynolds.
