Ron Rivera discussed the nature of his injured players on Monday, and he didn’t seem too optimistic about Jonathan Stewart’s chances of a return in Week 15. Stewart has not played since suffering a high-ankle sprain in Week 12.
Jonathan Stewart still not close to return, fantasy value in jeopardy again for Week 15
Ron Rivera didn’t give a vote of confidence for Jonathan Stewart’s chances of playing this week. We break down the fantasy implications.

DeAngelo Williams tallied up 112 yards and a touchdown in Stewart’s absence this week against the Falcons.
Fantasy Impact: Both of Stewart’s ankles have been banged up, so it would not be surprising to see him on the inactive list again this weekend. He didn’t practice at all this past week, which does not bode well for his value going forward.
Williams finally looked like a viable starter in Week 14. He faces a tough matchup, though, on Sunday against the Chargers run defense.
