**UPDATED AS OF WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 3RD AT 7:15 PM ET**
🏈 AFC East
◆ Buffalo Bills
Dalton Kincaid - TE (hamstring/knee)
Kincaid emerged from the team’s Week 10 loss to the Dolphins with a hamstring injury. The Bills added a knee injury to Kincaid’s injury report listing on Wednesday. He was limited.
Fantasy Impact: It appears as though Kincaid suffered a knee injury at Wednesday’s practice, though we do not yet have confirmation. He was plagued by a PCL sprain last season. Kincaid appears unlikely to play in Week 14 at this time. Bills tight end Dawson Knox has disappointed this season, but the Bengals (1,121) are the only team in the NFL that has allowed more than 865 receiving yards to the position.
◆ Miami Dolphins
Tyreek Hill - WR (knee)
Hill suffered a dislocated knee in the team’s Week 4 win over the Jets. His season is over.
Fantasy Impact: Hill’s absence likely places additional emphasis on the short-to-intermediate areas of the field, increasing the expected target volume for De’Von Achane, Darren Waller, and Jaylen Waddle.
◆ New England Patriots
The Patriots are now at full health following multiple injuries earlier this season.
◆ New York Jets
Garrett Wilson - WR (knee)
Wilson sprained his knee in his return to the active roster in Week 10 and is set to miss “three-to-four weeks.” He was placed on injured reserve and is eligible to return in Week 15.
Fantasy Impact: Whelp, Wilson’s return didn’t last long as he is now set to miss another chunk of time with an additional knee injury. The Jets again find themselves bereft of pass-catching talent. Rookie tight end Mason Taylor stands to benefit the most in a fantasy setting, although the Jets continue to be allergic to throwing the football. Head coach Aaron Glenn said last week that he expects Wilson to “return this season.”
Braelon Allen - RB (knee)
Allen suffered a “pretty serious” knee injury on a kickoff return in the second quarter of the team’s Week 4 loss to the Dolphins. He is out indefinitely.
Fantasy Impact: Allen has been a significant contributor in the red zone this season. His absence substantially boosts Breece Hall‘s upside, who is now a locked-in RB1 in Week 5 against the Cowboys. Backup running back Isaiah Davis can be stashed in 12-team leagues as a high-upside contingency option. Hall gained a season-high 155 yards from scrimmage on 18 opportunities in his first game without Allen in Week 5.
Josh Reynolds - WR (hip)
Reynolds was evidently placed on injured reserve in Week 10, after suffering a hip injury during practice in Week 8.
Fantasy Impact: Reynolds’ absence clears the way for new Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell to be active on game day.
🏈 AFC North
◆ Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson - QB (ankle)
Jackson was limited by an ankle injury on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Jackson has finished as a QB17 or worse in four straight weeks. His talent is undeniable. He is simply not playing up to it. He must be treated as a highly volatile QB1 against the Steelers this weekend.
Justice Hill - RB (neck)
Hill will not play in Week 13. Head coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Hill could return “in three to four weeks.”
Fantasy Impact: Running back Keaton Mitchell will continue operating as the clear-cut No. 2 in Baltimore.
◆ Cincinnati Bengals
Tee Higgins - WR (concussion)
Higgins missed Week 13 with a concussion. He practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Ja’Marr Chase will continue handling a hefty workload, while Mitchell Tinsley, Andre Iosivas, and Mike Gesicki could see an uptick in usage if Higgins is forced to miss another game.
Chase Brown - RB (calf)
Brown is practicing fully with a new injury this week.
Fantasy Impact: Brown should be good to go for Week 14 against the Bills’ fantasy-friendly run defense. He is a borderline RB1/2 on a six-game 100-plus scrimmage yards streak.
◆ Cleveland Browns
Dylan Sampson - RB (calf)
Sampson was sidelined on Wednesday after injuring his calf in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact: Ineffectual backup running back Jerome Ford would handle Sampson’s receiving duties is the latter player is unable to play. Ford does not need to be rostered.
David Njoku - TE (knee)
Njoku continues to play through his knee injury as the team’s No. 2 tight end.
Fantasy Impact: Njoku does not need to be rostered in re-draft formats. Were he to miss time, rookie tight end Harold Fannin Jr. would benefit.
◆ Pittsburgh Steelers
Aaron Rodgers - QB (wrist)
Rodgers played through a fracture in his left wrist against the Bills but was entirely ineffective, also briefly departing after injuring his nose during a sack. Fantasy managers will want to track his status throughout the week ahead of a showdown with the Ravens in Week 14. He was absent on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Treat Rodgers as a low-end QB2, if active.
🏈 AFC South
◆ Houston Texans
Woody Marks - RB (ankle)
Marks injured his ankle in Week 13, but was able to retake the field after meeting with trainers. He did not practice on Wednesday, but Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Marks will be “fine” for Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Follow Marks’ practice participation, but expect to have him available against the Chiefs this weekend.
Joe Mixon - RB (foot)
Mixon was placed on the Non-Football Injury list ahead of Week 1. He is not expected to play this year.
Fantasy Impact: Veteran Nick Chubb is now in a game script-dependent rushing role, while rookie running back Woody Marks operates as the starter.
◆ Indianapolis Colts
Josh Downs - WR (hip/knee)
Downs did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: The talented slot receiver is stuck in a crowded receiving corps. He is a WR4 if active and able to practice fully.
Daniel Jones - QB (fibula)
Jones continues to practice and play through a fracture in his fibula.
Fantasy Impact: Jones has clearly been hampered by the injury but continues to gut it out, keeping him in the bottom tier of QB1 rankings.
Anthony Richardson - QB (eye)
Richardson suffered a “freak accident” ahead of Week 6 in which an elastic band snapped a piece of metal hit him in the eye, fracturing his orbital bone. He was placed on injured reserve.
Fantasy Impact: Richardson has been off the fantasy radar all season with Daniel Jones’ career reemergence. Backup quarterback Riley Leonard can be stashed in superflex leagues, if need be.
◆ Jacksonville Jaguars
Parker Washington - (hip)
Washington injured his hip in Week 13 and was unable to practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Washington’s likely Week 14 absence increases the target-earning potential for Nos. 1 and 2 pass catchers, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brenton Strange.
Travis Hunter - WR/CB (knee)
Hunter was placed on injured reserve with a season-ending LCL tear.
Fantasy Impact: See Thomas’ section above.
◆ Tennessee Titans
Chimere Dike - WR (quad)
Dike was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: The impact is minimal. Dike is barely on the FLEX radar.
Calvin Ridley - WR (hamstring)
Ridley reportedly broke his fibula in Week 11 and is out for the season.
Fantasy Impact: It’s a disappointing end to a disappointing season for the veteran receiver. The Titans are left with no standout fantasy options in his absence.
🏈 AFC West
◆ Denver Broncos
J.K. Dobbins - RB (foot)
Dobbins was ruled out on Friday before being placed on IR on Saturday. The injury requires surgery, likely ending his season.
Fantasy Impact: Rookie RJ Harvey is in line to see a noticeable increase to what has been a modest snap rate, although Tyler Badie remained frustratingly involved. Jaleel McLaughlin also saw increased opportunities on early downs.
◆ Kansas City Chiefs
Patrick Mahomes - QB (knee)
Mahomes is practicing fully in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: The injury has little impact on Mahomes’ outlook.
Rashee Rice - WR (hamstring)
Rice is practicing fully in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Rice has finished as a half-PPR WR1 in 5-of-6 games. He is good to go.
◆ Las Vegas Raiders
Geno Smith - QB (foot)
Smith was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Smith is barely viable in two-quarterback leagues even when healthy.
Michael Mayer - TE (ankle)
Mayer did not practice all week before being ruled out on Friday in Week 13. He remains sidelined in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: As if we needed more reason to play Brock Bowers in fantasy.
◆ Los Angeles Chargers
Omarion Hampton - RB (ankle)
The Chargers designated Hampton to return from injured reserve on Tuesday. Those close to the team believe it is “viewed as likely” that Hampton returns in Week 14 against the Eagles. On Wednesday, Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Hampton is “on track and looking good” for Week 14, but stopped short of officially saying Hampton will play.
Fantasy Impact: Opinions differ as to whether Hampton and fellow Chargers running back Kimani Vidal could both be started in fantasy lineups if Hampton returns in Week 14. For some, both players tallying double-digit touches seems likely. The Chargers face the Eagles on Monday night. Stay tuned.
Justin Herbert - QB (hand)
Herbert underwent successful surgery on his left hand Monday. He sat out Wednesday’s practice session, but the official practice week starts on Thursday since the Chargers play on Monday night.
Fantasy Impact: According to reports, Herbert’s Week 14 status will come down to pain management, with the quarterback stating that he intend to play against the Eagles. Even so, the team will be giving Trey Lance first-team reps in practice this week to prepare for the worst case scenario. Fantasy managers will want to track Herbert’s status closely in the coming days.
Najee Harris - RB (Achilles)
Harris ruptured the Achilles tendon in his left leg during the Chargers’ Week 3 win over the Broncos. His season is done.
Fantasy Impact: See above.
🏈 NFC East
◆ Dallas Cowboys
George Pickens - WR (knee, calf)
Pickens will face the Lions on Thursday night.
Fantasy Impact: Pickens increased his practice participation this week. He is a locked-in WR2 with WR1 upside.
Miles Sanders - RB (ankle/knee)
Sanders was injured in Week 4 and did not play in Week 5. He was ruled out for Week 6 before being placed on injured reserve, ending his season.
Fantasy Impact: Veteran Javonte Williams continues to operate in a near workhorse role.
◆ New York Giants
Tyrone Tracy - RB (hip contusion/stinger)
Tracy told reporters that he suffered a hip contusion and a stinger in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact: If true, Tracy should be good to go after the Giants’ Week 14 bye. Monitor this situation closely. Giants running back Devin Singletary would handle a sizable workload if Tracy is sidelined.
Malik Nabers - WR (knee)
Nabers suffered a torn ACL in the team’s Week 4 win over the Chargers and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.
Fantasy Impact: The injury could not have come at a worse time for the Giants after they moved to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart under center. Nabers’ absence will make it difficult to consistently move the football, lowering the upside of all remaining healthy players. Nabers makes for a solid trade target for dynasty managers looking to rebuild this season.
Cam Skattebo - RB (ankle)
Skattebo suffered a gruesome dislocated ankle in the team’s Week 8 loss to the Eagles, ending his season.
Fantasy Impact: The backfield in New York should revert to a timeshare headed by veteran Tyrone Tracy in Skattebo’s absence. Devin Singletary remains on hand for change-of-pace duties. Treat Tracy as a low-end RB2 for the remainder of the season.
◆ Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles emerged from their Week 13 loss to the Bears absent any fantasy-relevant injuries.
◆ Washington Commanders
Jayden Daniels - QB (elbow)
Daniels dislocated the elbow in his left, non-throwing arm in the team’s Week 9 loss to the Seahawks. He was limited on Wednesday in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Marcus Mariota could continue to start for the Commanders as they prepare to face the reeling Vikings in Week 14.
Noah Brown - WR (groin, knee)
Brown was placed on injured reserve in Week 7. He is practicing fully for Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Brown’s return helps the Commanders’ starting quarterback. It does not guarantee Brown will return FLEX value, though.
🏈 NFC North
◆ Chicago Bears
Rome Odunze - WR (foot)
Odunze sat out during Week 14’s Wednesday practice.
Fantasy Impact: Odunze has tumbled to WR3/FLEX territory at this point. Treat him accordingly, if active.
Kyle Monangai - RB (ankle)
Monangai did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Monangai is a borderline RB2/3 with high-end upside. Expect him to play this week.
◆ Detroit Lions
Amon-Ra St. Brown - WR (ankle)
St. Brown injured his ankle early in the team’s Thanksgiving loss to the Packers. He did not practice at all in Week 14, but has been listed as questionable for the Lions’ Thursday night game.
Fantasy Impact: If St. Brown is active, he should be in fantasy lineups, though expectations should also be lowered. An absence from St. Brown would thrust wide receiver Jameson Williams into the WR1 tier. The Lions will also be without wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) and multiple tight ends. Rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa is a boom-bust FLEX.
Brock Wright - TE (neck)
Wright landed hard on his neck in Week 12. He has been ruled out for Week 14, as has Shane Zylstra (knee), leaving Ross Dwelley as the starter.
Fantasy Impact: Dwelley warrants consideration in DFS tournaments.
Sam LaPorta - TE (back)
LaPorta was added to the Lions’ injury report with a back injury on Wednesday. After being ruled out for Week 11 on Friday, the Lions placed him on injured reserve on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact: The Lions’ pass-catching corps is deep. Removing LaPorta from it could result in one or more extra targets for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR Jameson Williams and RB Jahmyr Gibbs.
◆ Green Bay Packers
Matthew Golden - WR (shoulder)
Golden has missed time with multiple injuries in recent weeks. He was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Golden is only a touchdown-dependent FLEX if active.
Jayden Reed - WR (collarbone/foot)
Recent reports indicate Reed “still has to be given final medical clearance to play.” He remains limited in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Reed has decent odds of returning in Week 14. He would be a WR4 candidate if active.
Dontayvion Wicks - WR (ankle)
Wicks was limited on Wednesday after likely injuring his left ankle while scoring a touchdown in Week 13.
Fantasy Impact: Wicks remains a highly volatile FLEX.
Josh Jacobs - RB (knee)
Jacobs was limited on Wednesday, as was backup running back MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring).
Fantasy Impact: Jacobs should be good to go for Week 14. Lloyd is a bench stash candidate, though his extensive injury history is concerning.
Tucker Kraft - TE (knee)
Kraft suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the team’s Week 9 loss to the Panthers.
Fantasy Impact: Kraft’s breakout season comes to an end prematurely after the untimely knee injury. Luke Musgrave should be rostered in all formats as he likely enters a featured role for the Packers.
◆ Minnesota Vikings
J.J. McCarthy - QB (concussion)
McCarthy was placed in the concussion protocol last week but is now practicing fully.
Fantasy Impact: McCarthy is a zero-floor QB2.
Aaron Jones - RB (shoulder)
The oft-injured veteran briefly left the team’s Week 13 loss with a shoulder injury. He was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Jones’ fantasy value is strictly tied to the team’s quarterback situation after they were shutout in Week 13. The Vikings activated backup running back Ty Chandler‘s (knee) 21-day practice window, but he is not fantasy-relevant.
Carson Wentz - QB (shoulder)
Wentz will undergo season-ending surgery after playing through a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum.
Fantasy Impact: Second-year quarterback J.J. McCarthy is the starter in Minnesota moving forward.

🏈 NFC South
◆ Atlanta Falcons
Drake London - WR (knee)
London reportedly suffered a PCL sprain in the team’s Week 11 loss to the Panthers. He reportedly “has a chance to play” in Week 14, but was sidelined on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Tight end Kyle Pitts and wide receiver Darnell Mooney are now the passing game’s top-two options, though both players lack elite ceilings.
Michael Penix - QB (knee)
Penix reportedly suffered a knee injury that included a partially torn ACL, a separate sprain and a bone bruise in the team’s Week 11 loss to the Panthers. He will undergo season-ending ACL reconstruction.
Fantasy Impact: That leaves the team in the hands of veteran Kirk Cousins moving forward. Cousins notably completed 21-of-31 passes for only 173 yards with no touchdowns in his only other start this season, which came against an underperforming Dolphins team. The Falcons could be in some trouble the rest of the way.
◆ Carolina Panthers
The Panthers are healthy following a Week 13 upset win over the Rams.
◆ New Orleans Saints
Chris Olave - WR (back)
Olave’s back reportedly “flared up” after the Saints’ Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. He did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Olave continues to play through injury while earning elite target volume. Barring a setback, he should be active for Week 14.
Alvin Kamara - RB (ankle/knee)
Kamara remains sidelined entering Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Rookie running back Devin Neal will continue operating as the starter. He can be treated as a borderline RB2/3.
Kendre Miller - RB (ACL)
Miller suffered a torn ACL in the team’s Week 7 loss to the Bears. His season is over.
Fantasy Impact: Rookie Devin Neal should step into the primary change-of-pace role for the Saints in Miller’s absence. Lead back Alvin Kamara saw the highest snap rate since Week 2 following Miller’s departure and could be again looking at a workhorse role moving forward.
◆ Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Baker Mayfield - QB (shoulder)
Mayfield sprained the AC joint in his non-throwing left shoulder in the team’s Week 12 loss to the Rams. He reportedly avoided significant damage and played against the Cardinals. Mayfield was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Mayfield survived Week 13, playing through an AC joint sprain in his non-throwing shoulder. He could get wide receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) back on the field in time for the Buccaneers’ Week 14 game against the Saints, which could solidify Mayfield’s status as a low-end QB1.
Mike Evans - WR (collarbone, concussion)
Evans suffered a broken collarbone in the team’s Week 7 loss to the Lions. The Buccaneers activated Evans’ 21-day practice window on Wednesday. He was limited in his first practice session.
Fantasy Impact: Add Evans if he is available. He can be started as soon as he retakes the field on game day.
Chris Godwin - WR (fibula)
Godwin was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Godwin operated as the team’s leading receiver (78 yards) in Week 13. With wide receiver Mike Evans (collarbone) potentially returning, he remains stuck in FLEX land, though.
Jalen McMillan - WR (neck)
The Buccaneers activated McMillan’s 21-day practice window on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: McMillan is unlikely to warrant FLEX consideration in re-draft formats, though his presence is a positive for quarterback Baker Mayfield.
🏈 NFC West
◆ Arizona Cardinals
Marvin Harrison Jr. - WR (heel)
Harrison picked up a heel injury in his return to the lineup following a two-game absence due to an appendectomy. He did not practice on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: Wide receiver Michael Wilson has established himself as a capable contributor in Harrison’s absence.
Emari Demercado - RB (ankle)
Demercado suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 11. He resumed practicing in Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: We expect Bam Knight. Demercado could rotate in as the No. 2 running back.
Trey Benson - RB (knee)
Benson underwent surgery after injuring his meniscus in Week 4. The Cardinals opened his 21-day practice window in Week 12. He was downgraded during Week 13 practices and has not yet resumed practicing.
Fantasy Impact: Benson still has a chance to return, but running back Bam Knight is seemingly the best bet to operate as the Cardinals’ rest-of-season starter.
Kyler Murray - QB (foot)
Murray injured his foot on a fourth-quarter fumble in Week 5. He was placed on injured reserve in Week 10 and will be eligible to return in Week 14 against the Rams, though it could be as the Cardinals’ backup. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said Monday that the team will not open his 21-day practice window this week.
Fantasy Impact: Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has finished as a QB1 in his last three games. He remains a viable streamer.
James Conner - RB (ankle)
Conner suffered a season-ending foot injury in Week 3.
Fantasy Impact: See: Trey Benson.
Zay Jones - WR (Achilles)
Jones suffered a torn Achilles in the team’s Week 10 loss to the Seahawks, ending his season.
Fantasy Impact: Jones filled a situational role for the Cardinals but his absence could provide additional run for veteran slot man Greg Dortch.
◆ Los Angeles Rams
Tyler Higbee - TE (ankle)
Higbee was placed on injured reserve after suffering an ankle injury in the team’s Week 11 win over the Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Higbee’s absence for much of the game against the Seahawks simply allowed rookie Terrance Ferguson to step into additional snaps as opposed to forcing the team to move away from their league-leading 13-personnel rates. Colby Parkinson should be viewed as the team’s starter. Davis Allen is capable as well. The Panthers struggle to cover opposing tight ends.
Tutu Atwell - WR (hamstring)
Atwell has not yet been activated from injured reserve despite practicing fully last week.
Fantasy Impact: The impact is minimal. Atwell could earn three or four targets per game, if active.
◆ San Francisco 49ers
Brandon Aiyuk - WR (knee)
Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team would not open Aiyuk’s 21-day practice window ahead of a Week 11 meeting with the Cardinals. The same was said for Week 12, and now Week 13. Reports then surfaced that Aiyuk and the 49ers are “headed for divorce” after the team voided his 2025 guarantees.
Fantasy Impact: A mostly lost season for Aiyuk appears to be quickly approaching, at least as far as fantasy is concerned.
◆ Seattle Seahawks
Sam Darnold - QB (ankle)
Darnold picked up an ankle injury in the team’s Week 13 shutout victory over the Vikings. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said he “should be good to go” for Week 14.
Fantasy Impact: Darnold should continue producing as expected.
AJ Barner - TE (knee/shoulder)
Barner was limited on Wednesday.
Fantasy Impact: The touchdown-dependent tight end should be good to go.
Tory Horton - WR (groin, shin)
Horton was added to the injury report Thursday with multiple ailments and did not play in Week 10 against the Cardinals. He was ruled out for Week 11 on Friday and remains sidelined early in Week 12. He was ruled out for Week 12 Friday.
Fantasy Impact: It’s unfortunate timing for the blazing rookie after his breakout performance in Week 9.
