His season is over.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Hill\u2019s absence likely places additional emphasis on the short-to-intermediate areas of the field, increasing the expected target volume for De\u2019Von Achane, Darren Waller, and Jaylen Waddle. Malik Washington is likely to step into a secondary role and could see his aDOT improve, making him a sneaky potential FLEX option for the remainder of the season. Waddle sees the biggest boost to his fantasy value once he returns from his Week 12 bye.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 New England Patriots<\/p>\n<p>The Patriots are now at full health following multiple injuries earlier this season.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 New York JetsGarrett Wilson &#8211; WR (knee)<\/p>\n<p>Wilson <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-6fb1-d673-a39e-efb152f30000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">sprained <\/a>his knee in his return to the active roster in Week 10 and is set to miss \u201cthree-to-four weeks.\u201d He was placed on injured reserve and is eligible to return in Week 15. <\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Whelp, Wilson\u2019s return didn\u2019t 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.

He is out indefinitely.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Allen has been a significant contributor in the red zone this season. His absence substantially boosts Breece Hall\u2018s 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.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Reynolds &#8211; WR (hip)<\/p>\n<p>Reynolds was evidently placed on injured reserve in Week 10, after suffering a hip injury during practice in Week 8. <\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Reynolds\u2019 absence clears the way for new Jets wide receiver Adonai Mitchell to be active on game day.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc8 AFC North\u25c6 Baltimore RavensJustice Hill &#8211; RB (neck)<\/p>\n<p>Hill <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-c228-d82c-a79a-f3bc22c70000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">will not play<\/a> in Week 13.

The injury requires surgery, likely ending his season. <\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Kansas City Chiefs<\/p>\n<p>The Chiefs emerged from their Week 13 loss to the Cowboys absent any key injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Las Vegas RaidersMichael Mayer &#8211; TE (ankle)<\/p>\n<p>Mayer did not practice all week before being ruled out Friday in Week 13. <\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: As if we needed more reason to play Brock Bowers in fantasy.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Los Angeles ChargersOmarion Hampton &#8211; RB (ankle)<\/p>\n<p>The Chargers <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-bc9f-d82c-a79a-bf9f87b70000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">designated <\/a>Hampton to return from injured reserve on Tuesday.

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\u2019s status closely in the coming days.<\/p>\n<p>Najee Harris &#8211; RB (Achilles)<\/p>\n<p>Harris ruptured the <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=00000199-7323-d1b3-a5dd-73735a0c0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Achilles<\/a> tendon in his left leg during the Chargers\u2019 Week 3 win over the Broncos.

He was ruled out for Week 6 before being placed on injured reserve, ending his season.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Veteran Javonte Williams continues to operate in a near workhorse role. <\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 New York GiantsMalik Nabers &#8211; WR (knee)<\/p>\n<p>Nabers suffered a <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=00000199-960a-deb6-a7fd-d7dfd8ce0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">torn ACL<\/a> in the team\u2019s Week 4 win over the Chargers and will miss the remainder of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>Cam Skattebo &#8211; RB (ankle)<\/p>\n<p>Skattebo suffered a gruesome <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-25c7-d5d8-a3ff-fde73cd40000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">dislocated ankle<\/a> in the team\u2019s Week 8 loss to the Eagles, ending his season.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: The backfield in New York should revert to a timeshare headed by veteran Tyrone Tracy in Skattebo\u2019s absence. Devin Singletary remains on hand for change-of-pace duties. Treat Tracy as a low-end RB2 for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Philadelphia Eagles<\/p>\n<p>The Eagles emerged from their Week 13 loss to the Bears absent any fantasy relevant injuries.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Washington CommandersJayden Daniels &#8211; QB (elbow)<\/p>\n<p>Daniels dislocated the elbow in his left, non-throwing arm in the team\u2019s Week 9 loss to the Seahawks.

He was designated to return on Monday and practiced in a limited capacity on Wednesday. He was ruled out for Week 13 Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: It has been nine weeks since both McLaurin and Brown were on the field together, and the team remains without quarterback Jayden Daniels in Week 13. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc8 NFC North\u25c6 Chicago Bears<\/p>\n<p>The Bears avoided any fantasy relevant injuries in their Week 13 win over the Eagles.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Detroit LionsAmon-Ra St. Brown &#8211; WR (ankle)<\/p>\n<p>St. Brown injured his ankle early in the team\u2019s Thanksgiving loss to the Packers and has yet to <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-e03d-d90e-a9da-ff3f617e0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">practice<\/a> this week.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: An absence from St. Brown would immediately thrust Jameson Williams into a featured role, considering the team will continue to be without tight end Sam LaPorta. Williams would be in the WR1 discussion against the Cowboys after erupting for a 7-144-1 line last week.<\/p>\n<p>Sam LaPorta &#8211; TE (back)<\/p>\n<p>LaPorta was added to the Lions\u2019 injury report with a back injury on Wednesday. After being ruled out for Week 11 on Friday, the Lions <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-8939-d673-a39e-adb9d54a0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">placed him on injured reserve<\/a> on Saturday.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: The Lions\u2019 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.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Wright &#8211; TE (neck)<\/p>\n<p>Wright landed hard on his neck last week and has been ruled <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-c2a2-d90e-a9da-dfafbd460000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">out<\/a> for Week 13.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: A potential absence by Wright on a short week could condense the Lions\u2019 target dispersal even further in the absence of LaPorta. Wide receiver Kalif Raymond (ankle) has also been ruled out and rookie wide receiver Isaac TeSlaa (hand) is questionable.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Green Bay PackersMatthew Golden &#8211; WR (shoulder)<\/p>\n<p>Golden has missed much of the previous five games with multiple injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Golden is only a touchdown-dependent FLEX if active.<\/p>\n<p>Jayden Reed &#8211; WR (collarbone\/foot)<\/p>\n<p>Recent <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-dbf6-d6c4-abfb-dff7334b0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">reports<\/a> indicate Reed \u201cstill has to be given final medical clearance to play.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Reed has decent odds of returning in Week 14.<\/p>\n<p>Tucker Kraft &#8211; TE (knee)<\/p>\n<p>Kraft suffered a season-ending <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-4aa9-d673-a39e-eeb900780000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">torn ACL<\/a> in the team\u2019s Week 9 loss to the Panthers.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Kraft\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Minnesota VikingsJ.J.

That could leave the team with only Max Brosmer at quarterback, denting the ranges of outcomes of all primary skill position players against the Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Aaron Jones &#8211; RB (shoulder)<\/p>\n<p>The oft-injured veteran briefly left the team\u2019s Week 13 loss with a shoulder injury.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Jones\u2019 fantasy value is strictly tied to the team\u2019s quarterback situation after they were shutout in Week 13.<\/p>\n<p>Carson Wentz &#8211; QB (shoulder)<\/p>\n<p>Wentz will undergo season-ending <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-2773-dab4-a3fb-bf73a8af0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">surgery<\/a> after playing through a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Second-year quarterback J.J.

He will undergo season-ending ACL reconstruction.<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Carolina Panthers<\/p>\n<p>The Panthers are healthy following a Week 13 upset win over the Rams.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 New Orleans SaintsAlvin Kamara &#8211; RB (knee)<\/p>\n<p>Kamara reportedly suffered an MCL sprain in the team\u2019s Week 12 loss to the Falcons. He is expected to miss <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-c22d-d82c-a79a-f3bddc2d0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">time<\/a> and was ruled out for Week 13 against the Dolphins.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Kamara has been on the team\u2019s injury report for most of the season, this time likely to miss multiple games. Rookie Devin Neal appears to be in line for lead rusher duties in his absence. Treat Neal as an RB2 in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Kendre Miller &#8211; RB (ACL)<\/p>\n<p>Miller suffered a torn ACL in the team\u2019s Week 7 loss to the Bears. His season is over.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Rookie Devin Neal should step into the primary change-of-pace role for the Saints in Miller\u2019s absence. Lead back Alvin Kamara saw the highest snap rate since Week 2 following Miller\u2019s departure and could be again looking at a workhorse role moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u25c6 Tampa Bay BuccaneersBaker Mayfield &#8211; QB (shoulder)<\/p>\n<p>Mayfield sprained the AC joint in his non-throwing left shoulder in the team\u2019s Week 12 loss to the Rams.

Considering the current state of the roster, rookie Emeka Egbuka is looking like a true league-winner.<\/p>\n<p>Jalen McMillan &#8211; WR (neck)<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=00000198-c355-dbe3-a9bb-f35754470000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">McMillan<\/a> remains on injured reserve with a neck injury suffered in the preseason.<\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: The Buccaneers are reeling at wide receiver with McMillan, Chris Godwin and Mike Evans out.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83c\udfc8 NFC West\u25c6 Arizona CardinalsMarvin Harrison Jr. &#8211; WR (heel)<\/p>\n<p>Harrison picked up a heel injury in his return to the lineup following a two-game absence due to an appendectomy. <\/p>\n<p>Fantasy Impact: Wide receiver Michael Wilson has <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-bc6b-d90e-a9da-bf6f69320000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">established<\/a> himself as a capable contributor in the absence of Harrison.<\/p>\n<p>Emari Demercado &#8211; RB (ankle)<\/p>\n<p>Demercado suffered a <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-9782-d45b-affe-d7961fd90000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">high-ankle sprain<\/a> in Week 11 and has already been <a class=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcsports.com\/fantasy\/football\/player-news?playerNewsId=0000019a-9d0a-d713-ad9e-fd5e8a0f0000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">ruled out<\/a> for Week 12.

Colby Parkinson should be viewed as the team\u2019s starter. Davis Allen is capable as well.
