NFL Week 15 injury updates: Key early-week notes and what to watch across every matchup
We are in the final month of the 2025 regular season, with just four weeks of action still left on the docket. Of course, as we get down to the finish line, these final matchups will carry monumental stakes. Already, the Week 15 slate has a handful of clinching scenarios. The New England Patriots can clinch the AFC East title with a win over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, while both the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Rams can punch their tickets with wins. While all we want to dissect heading into this crucial stretch is how these teams match up on the field, injuries will be a storyline. Given that we're so late in the year, just about every team is dinged up to some degree, and that could dictate how some of these games turn out. As most clubs get back onto the […]

NFL schedule Week 17 changes: Texans-Chargers, Ravens-Packers selected for Saturday doubleheader
Getty Images The NFL has chosen the two games for its Week 17 Saturday doubleheader. The Los Angeles Chargers will host the Houston Texans at 4:30 p.m. ET followed by an 8 p.m. primetime showdown between the Green Bay Packers and Baltimore Ravens at historic Lambeau Field. Both games -- which were initially slated to kickoff Sunday at 1 p.m. -- will undoubtedly have significant playoff implications. Saturday's first game will feature two teams that have an inside track to AFC playoff berths. Los Angeles (9-4) is currently holding onto the fifth seed in the AFC, while Houston (8-5) holds final playoff spot entering Week 15. The Texans are just a game behind the Jacksonville Jaguars for first place in the AFC South. The second game will impact both the AFC and NFC playoff pictures. Green Bay (9-3-1) enters its Week 15 showdown […]
Fantasy Football Week 15 Lineup Decisions: Your guide to the toughest starts, sits and flexes
Fantasy Football is all about the matchups. Even though you drafted your team with certain hopes and intentions, your weekly lineup decisions shouldn't be determined by the order you picked your players in. You need to check who your players play and make sure you've got the right guys in -- and the wrong guys out. We can take some educated guesses based on coaches film, meaningful data, healthy personnel, defensive schemes, track records, and key details of offenses. The things we know can help us minimize the impact of the things we don't know. This should lead to better decisions being made. We'll go through every game and highlight the players who aren't obvious starts and sits (because you don't need to be told to sit Elic Ayomanor). You should feel more comfortable starting or sitting players based on […]
Chiefs could be eliminated from NFL playoff contention in Week 15: Here’s how it could happen
The Kansas City Chiefs have never missed the playoffs during Patrick Mahomes' career, but that run is in danger of ending this season and it could happen as soon as Week 15. The 6-7 Chiefs are on the cusp of playoff elimination and there are several scenarios that could see them knocked out on Sunday.

Let's take a look at the three most likely elimination scenarios for Kansas City (via Joe Ferraira): 1. Chiefs loss + Jaguars win (over Jets) + Bills win (over Patriots) + Texans win (over Cardinals)Breakdown: The Jaguars (-13.5) and Texans (-9.5) are both huge favorites […]
