Allen Robinson II (hip) is officially active for Week 15.

Robinson was a full participant in Friday’s practice, so he was expected to be ready to go today against the Packers. Consider Robinson a low-end WR2 for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Jordan Howard goes over 100 yards against the Rams.

Howard carried 19 times for 101 yards and had one reception for two yards in the Bears’ Week 14 win. It was in some ways a quiet 100 yards for Howard in what was a sloppy game on both sides, but he ran the ball well and slashed through the defense for positive yardage throughout the night. This was Howard’s first 100-yard game of the season in what’s been a disappointing year statistically, and he’ll look to keep it going in Week 15 against the Packers. Howard had 82 yards rushing against Green Bay in Week 1.

Matthew Stafford (back) is officially active for the Lions.

There wasn’t much doubt, but Stafford will officially be making his 126th consecutive start at quarterback. The veteran quarterback isn’t a highly-recommended fantasy option against a tough Buffalo defense in the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Carson Wentz is dealing with a back injury.

Eagles head coach Doug Pederson says Wentz will rest today with general back soreness. He didn’t commit to Wentz playing on Sunday night, but he basically said he’s just worried about today (and Wentz isn’t practicing) so it’s not a huge concern yet. We expect he’ll be fine for Week 15, but we’ll track his status the next couple of days.

Ito Smith (neck/knee) is officially active for Week 15.

There was some concern about Smith’s status after he was limited in Friday’s practice because of a neck injury that popped up on the injury report after he dealt with a knee injury earlier in the week, but he’s ready to go against the Cardinals. Smith has some upside as a FLEX option against a Cardinals team that’s given up the most rushing touchdowns in the league this season.

Mitchell Trubisky throws three interceptions against the Rams.

Trubisky was 16/30 for 110 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions along with six carries for 23 yards in the Bears’ Sunday night victory. The score came on a very heavy formation with defensive linemen in the game, as he did a play-action fake to defensive lineman Akiem Hicks and hit offensive tackle Bradley Sowell for a two-yard touchdown. The second-year quarterback obviously didn’t have a great game and struggled with inaccuracy, but it was kind of just one of those types of games, with Jared Goff throwing four interceptions of his own on the other side. Trubisky will look to bounce back next week against the Packers in the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Chris Ivory (shoulder) is officially inactive against the Lions.

This is a bit of a surprise after Ivory was a full participant in practice during the week, but he apparently isn’t ready for contact because of his shoulder injury. Marcus Murphy and Keith Ford will lead Buffalo’s backfield today.
