Fantasy Football: Week 15 NFL injury report features updates on Josh Jacobs, Jameis Winston

Rostering a player in your Fantasy lineup dealing with an injury always comes with some risk, so don't make the final call until you see what SportsLine NFL injury analyst Dr. Brandon Bowers has to say.

Dr. Bowers, a Doctor of Physical Therapy currently practicing in the outpatient orthopedic setting on northeast side of Columbus, Ohio, completed his undergraduate work at Siena Heights University. He earned his doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Toledo.

He is currently employed by Athletico Physical Therapy and treats a high volume of high school and collegiate athletes in the clinical setting. He's worked previously for a host of different websites serving as an injury analyst, publishing weekly columns, appearing on podcasts and radio shows to provide injury content.

He's broken down some of the most notable injuries heading into Week 15 and here's what he had to say about Josh Jacobs' (shoulder) outlook. 

"From a management standpoint non-displaced fractures require surgery and displaced fractures do not," Dr. Bowers said. "Jacobs was able to participate in practice for the Raiders in a limited capacity on Wednesday but will need to practice at a higher level today and tomorrow to have a chance to play this weekend. Re-injury risk is moderate the rest of the season."

Dr. Bowers is also breaking down what challenges Jameis Winston (hand) faces as he tries to play through the pain, and has an in-depth look at Darrius Guice's hamstring injury. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his breakdowns before making any Fantasy decisions.
