Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Courtland Sutton (hamstring) ruled out for Week 15
Courtland Sutton (hamstring) was unable to practice this week and has officially been ruled out ahead of Sunday’s game versus the Arizona Cardinals.
Fantasy Impact
Sutton and fellow wideout Kendall Hinton (hamstring) have already been ruled out, meaning Jerry Jeudy and Greg Dulcich should headline the receiving corps. With that said, the Broncos are deploying Brett Rypien at quarterback this week, so fantasy managers should temper expectations when considering all Denver playmakers.
Andersen Pickard
David Montgomery (illness) returns Friday, will play in Week 15
David Montgomery (illness) practiced in full on Friday and has been removed from the injury report. He will play against the Eagles on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Montgomery’s fantasy production has been relatively inconsistent this season, but he did average 17.37 points over his last three games prior to the bye week. Even if the 25-year-old plays second fiddle to Justin Fields in the rushing attack, he still ranks as a fringe RB2 against the Eagles this week.

Justin Fields (illness) cleared for Week 15
Justin Fields (illness) practiced in full again on Friday. He has been removed from the injury report and will play against the Eagles in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact
Fields has been a fantasy jackpot when healthy, averaging 33.61 points over the course of his last six games. Managers should continue to view him as a high-end QB1 this week thanks to his elite upside on the ground.

Dallas Goedert (shoulder) ‘likely’ to play in Week 15
Dallas Goedert (shoulder) will “likely” be activated from injured reserve ahead of Week 15 versus the Chicago Bears.
Fantasy Impact
The Eagles have until Saturday afternoon to officially activate their star tight end. Assuming they do so, he would immediately rank as a mid-range TE1 in fantasy football. He should have no trouble picking up where he left off pre-injury.
