Week 14 Injury Report: Key Updates for Playoff Contenders

Date: December 6, 2025

Injuries are hitting hard just as the fantasy playoffs approach. Week 14 brings several critical situations that fantasy managers must monitor closely. Here is the verified status update for key players as of Saturday, December 6.

Quarterback Situations

Lamar Jackson (QB, Ravens) - QUESTIONABLE

Lamar has been dealing with an ankle injury that limited his practice participation this week. He was downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday, which is a major red flag.

• Fantasy Impact: High risk. Even if he plays, his rushing upside—his fantasy superpower—will likely be capped. Have a backup plan (like Tyrod Taylor or Sam Darnold) ready to go.

Justin Herbert (QB, Chargers) - QUESTIONABLE

Herbert underwent hand surgery earlier this week following a Week 13 injury. He is officially considered day-to-day.

• Outlook: There is optimism he could play Monday night, but the risk of re-injury or limited effectiveness is high. Trey Lance would start if Herbert can't go.

Jayden Daniels (QB, Commanders) - ACTIVE

Despite managing an elbow issue and a minor knee sprain, Daniels practiced and is trending towards playing.

• Verdict: Start him. His rushing floor and the matchup make him a top option.

Ruled OUT

The following stars have been officially ruled OUT for Week 14:

• Drake London (WR, Falcons): Knee injury.
• Mike Evans (WR, Buccaneers): Collarbone injury.
• Jalen McMillan (WR, Buccaneers): Neck injury.

Fantasy Adjustment: With both Evans and McMillan out, look for other Bucs pass catchers to see a massive target share increase. For Atlanta, Kyle Pitts may see even more volume with London sidelined.

Game-Time Decisions

• Chris Olave (WR, Saints): Dealing with a back injury. Truly 50/50.
• Ty Chandler (RB, Vikings): Knee injury. Questionable.
• Christian Darrisaw (OL, Vikings): His status affects the entire Vikings offense.

Monitor Closely

• Tee Higgins (WR, Bengals): Still in concussion protocol. Unlikely to play unless he clears Saturday.
• Alvin Kamara (RB, Saints): Missed practice with knee/ankle issues. Monitor Sunday morning reports carefully.
