Jakeem Grant (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Week 15.

Grant and teammate DeVante Parker are both listed as questionable with hamstring injuries, and the Dolphins will likely see how they’re feeling on gameday. Miami utilizes Grant on both offense and special teams, so hopefully he’s able to get out there for a key matchup in a crowded playoff race.

DeVante Parker (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday.

Parker has played through injuries all year, and we don’t expect things will be any different this week against the Patriots. The Dolphins kickoff in the early slate of games, so Parker’s Week 15 status will be official by 11:30 AM ET on Sunday.

Mike Gesicki (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Week 15.

Gesicki was able to get on the practice field today, giving himself a chance to play on Sunday despite suffering a shoulder injury last week. Coming off a two-touchdown performance, Gesicki would likely be a solid fantasy option if active against the Patriots.

Jamison Crowder (calf) is officially questionable for Week 15.

We would expect Crowder to play after suiting up last week, but he isn’t a highly recommended fantasy option against the Rams’ league-best pass defense. The Jets are hoping to avoid an 0-14 start by pulling off an upset this weekend.

Devonta Freeman (ankle) has officially been designated to return from injured reserve.

Freeman now has a 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve, which can happen as soon as this Sunday night’s Week 15 matchup with the Browns. However, Wayne Gallman has taken control of the Giants backfield, so Freeman can probably be left on waiver wires in fantasy leagues.

Julio Jones (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 15.

Jones is considered week-to-week with his hamstring injury, so this was expected. Hopefully the All-Pro receiver can get back this season, but it might be unwise for him to push it with the Falcons out of playoff contention if he’s not close to 100%.

Drew Brees will start in Week 15, according to ESPN.

It felt like this would be a pretty good possibility after Brees was designated to return from injured reserve on Wednesday, indicating his throwing session went well. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that doctors have cleared Brees to play, so he’ll be out there in a highly anticipated game against the Chiefs on Sunday. For a potential shootout, Brees is immediately in the QB1 mix. Taysom Hill will head back to more of a do-it-all role after starting four games and doing a nice job; Hill got better and more comfortable with more experience, and he’s the heavy favorite to take over as New Orleans’ franchise quarterback when Brees retires (likely this offseason).
