If you’ve spent the week planning your fantasy lineup or figuring out how to spend Sunday glued to your couch, you might be wondering which NFL teams have a bye in Week 15? After all, midseason bye weeks can leave gaps in your football weekend, and no one wants to spend Sunday rewatching old highlights of games that didn’t go their way.

Bye bye bye: NFL turns to NSYNC

The short answer to this question, however, is ‘none’. That’s right, there are no NFL teams on a bye in Week 15. Not the Chiefs, nor the Cowboys, nor the Panthers, although the latter two probably wish they could use the time to regroup or forget what’s been going on. Starting this week – when the 49ers and Rams kick things off on TNF – it’s an all-hands-on-deck sprint to the playoffs, with every team still with something to play for suiting up until the regular season wraps up in Week 18.

The NFL’s 2024 schedule packed its bye weeks neatly into Weeks 5 through 14. After that, it’s full throttle, and it ensures no unfair advantage heading into the final stretch – at least on paper anyway. The playing field is even and now it’s just a question of who can make the most of it.

With no byes to break up the action, Week 15 becomes pivotal for playoff contenders. A win or loss can shift seeding or end hopes entirely. For fans, it means more games to keep an eye on and fewer excuses to get anything else done over the weekend. With every team in play, expect drama – and maybe some chaos – as teams fight for their postseason lives. Here’s how it all lines up:

For your fantasy team, no bye means no scrambling to replace key players sitting out, although you’ll need to keep a close eye on injuries. And for general football fans, we can plan for wall-to-wall football from now until the playoffs and beyond. If the garage hasn’t already been cleaned out, it can wait till after the Super Bowl!
