Week 14 Fantasy Football Injury Report: Will Justin Herbert and Jayden Daniels Play?
Adam Ronis and Jorge Martin uncover the fantasy football-relevant injuries heading into Week 14 of the NFL season, focusing on Justin Herbert, Jayden Daniels and more.
With it being Week 14 and so many fantasy managers fighting for their playoff lives, every start/sit decision has even greater importance. Which means we cannot leave any stone unturned when it comes to the information we consume this week.
So here we are with the injury report for players with fantasy relevance. As always, we’ll be following these injuries as the week progresses and update this article when there is new information. Here’s to a healthy, and hopefully happy, last week of the regular season.
Week 14 Fantasy Football Injury Report
Quarterbacks
Justin Herbert, LAC
The Chargers’ franchise QB had surgery for broken bones in his left (non-throwing) hand on Monday. He played with a glove to protect his injured hand in Week 13. There’s a chance he plays on MNF against the Eagles.
Jayden Daniels, WAS
Daniels’ elbow has healed to the point that he’s practicing on a limited basis. We’ll follow his status to see if he can play in Week 14.
Sam Darnold, SEA
Darnold injured his ankle in the victory over the Vikings, but it doesn’t appear that it’s going to impact his availability. Stay tuned if anything changes.
J.J. McCarthy, MIN
The second-year QB is back to full practice after suffering a concussion in Week 12. Next order of business, peppering Justin Jefferson with 10+ catchable targets.
Aaron Rodgers, PIT
It was not pretty to see Rodgers with a gash across his nose, on top of a fracture in his left (non-throwing wrist). He sat the first practice of this week, so we’ll be following his status.
Running Backs
Omarion Hampton, LAC (ankle)
Hampton had his practice window opened before Week 13, so he could return this week. With it being a Monday night game, the Thursday practice report will be important.
Kyren Williams, LAR
Seeing Williams come out of the loss to the Panthers with an ankle was tough, but he came back in and HC Sean McVay expects him to be back this week.
Aaron Jones, MIN
A shoulder injury is not good for a running back, so Jones’ availability will be monitored closely. Starting the week with a limited practice is a good sign.
Trey Benson, ARI
Benson hasn’t played since Week 4 with a knee injury, though he returned to practice last week before going DNP to end the week. He started this week with a DNP and looks like he’ll be sitting.
Alvin Kamara, NO
Knee and ankle injuries may be what put Kamara on the sideline again this week, if not the rest of the season.
Wide Receivers
Amon-Ra St. Brown, DET
The ankle injury on Thanksgiving looked uglier than the diagnosis that followed. Ankles are so tricky. Hard to expect him to play against the Cowboys on Thursday night.
Tee Higgins, CIN
We’re following the practice reports to find out if he’s been cleared from a concussion.
Marvin Harrison Jr., ARI
The heel injury popped up for MHJ during the Week 13 game and he didn’t practice Wednesday.
Matthew Golden, GB
The wrist injury that has forced Golden to sit the past two games has healed enough that he practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Parker Washington, JAX (hip)
Starting the week with a DNP is a bad sign for Washington’s Week 4 availability.
Tight Ends
Dalton Kincaid, BUF
Kincaid practiced on a limited basis after missing the past two games with a hamstring injury. He also picked up a knee injury designation, which is not great for his availability.
