David Johnson is off the Week 15 injury report.

Fantasy owners counting on Johnson can breathe easy, as he was a full participant in practice while dealing with his quad injury and is ready to face the Falcons on Sunday. Despite the good matchup, Johnson isn’t a great RB1 option considering Arizona’s offense is the worst in the league. Consider DJ a low-end RB1 for the second week of the fantasy playoffs.

Philip Rivers, Chargers hold on against the Bengals, 26-21.

Rivers was 19/29 for 220 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions, also adding two carries for seven yards. It wasn’t the game that fantasy owners were hoping for, but both teams ended up draining the clock as Cincinnati finally fed Joe Mixon. The lone score for Rivers was a 14-yard throw to Keenan Allen on the game’s opening possession, and he was mostly quiet after that. The Chargers should get into a shootout against the Chiefs with a quick turnaround on Thursday night, but it’s worth noting that Rivers has often struggled in Kansas City. Still, he remains a solid QB1 and already had success against them earlier this year (424 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception).

T.Y. Hilton (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Week 15.

The thought was that Hilton would be fine like last week when he was listed as questionable, but the speedy receiver did not practice at all this week, putting his status in more doubt than it was in Week 14. While there are two games tomorrow, fortunately the Colts play in the early games on Sunday, so Hilton’s status will be known before most of the Week 15 games kickoff. If Hilton is active, he might need to be downgraded slightly at potentially less than 100%.

Josh Johnson comes in relief of Mark Sanchez in 40-16 loss.

Johnson was 11/16 for 195 yards, one touchdown, and one interception, also adding seven carries for 45 yards and another score. The Redskins are going to stick with Johnson in Week 15 against the Jaguars, but it’s obviously not a great spot to consider using the veteran, though his mobility should hopefully give Washington’s offense a chance.

The Saints signed Simmie Cobbs off the Redskins practice squad, according to Nick Underhill of The New Orleans Advocate.

Cobbs is a rookie undrafted free agent from Indiana. We really like this move for the Saints, as Cobbs made a bunch of plays in the Big Ten before surprisingly going undrafted last spring. Cobbs is a big six-foot-three and excels on contested catches. He’s not a recommended pickup in redraft leagues, but those in dynasty leagues should take a long look at him if he’s on the wire.

Darrius Heyward-Bey gets one touch in Week 14.

Heyward-Bey had one carry for -7 yards against the Raiders team that drafted him seventh overall in 2009. DHB is a core special-teams contributor for the Steelers, but he’s not a reliable fantasy option.

Allen Robinson II (hip) is officially listed as questionable for Week 15.

Robinson practiced fully today, so we expect he’ll be good to go for Sunday against the Packers. However, it’s interesting that Robinson is now listed with a hip injury after it was a groin injury that had him miss Wednesday’s practice before practicing on a limited basis yesterday. The Bears play at 1:00 PM ET on Sunday, so A-Rob’s status will be known by 11:30 AM ET.
