Fantasy Football Week 15 Injuries: Player Updates Ahead Of NFL Kickoffs

Who's in, and who's out?

If you’re reading this, you probably still have a shot at winning your fantasy football league.

(If so, congratulations!)

Now just don’t screw it up. An excellent way to ensure you choke Sunday is to start a player who doesn’t even suit up for their team’s game. And, unfortunately, many stars enter Week 15 of the 2020 NFL season with injury designations.

Who’s in? Who’s out?

Keep it here for injury updates throughout what figures to be a busy Sunday across the NFL:

Cowboys? RB Ezekiel Elliott is inactive today vs. 49ers.

Not good for the #Dolphins: Source said they won?t have TE Mike Gesicki, WR DeVante Parker or WR Jakeem Grant. Very short-handed.

#Lions QB Matthew Stafford (rib/thumb) is expected to start today vs. the #Titans, source said, a decision clinched when he jumped into a drill on Friday and realized he could throw without too much pain. Early in the week, this seemed impossible. But Stafford should play.

#Dolphins TE Mike Gesicki is listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but he improved enough during the week to have a real chance of playing today, source said. A surprise considering how he felt last Sunday. He?ll workout pregame to determine his status.
