This is it. For most fantasy leagues, Week 14 is the final regular-season week. This is your last chance to secure a playoff spot. That means this is must-win territory and the Injury Report: Week 14 is a good place to start when deciding how to fortify your roster for the postseason.

Also, a great starting point for staying updated on the latest injuries is to bookmark our NFL Injury Report.

Week 14 BYES: Baltimore, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, New England, Washington

Christian McCaffrey (RB) San Francisco 49ers – A lost season for the No. 1 overall pick is now over as McCaffrey tore his PCL. If you drafted CMC and still made the playoffs, you deserve a hat tip. However, you will have to continue to persevere without him.

Jordan Mason (RB) San Francisc0 49ers – Another big blow for San Francisco’s backfield, Mason suffered a high-ankle sprain in Buffalo and was placed on IR. The earlier he will return in Week 17. Issac Guerendo becomes the top Week 14 waiver wire add to target with the Niners down their top two running backs.

CeeDee Lamb (WR) Dallas Cowboys – Lamb re-injured his AC joint during the Cowboys’ Thanksgiving win. We will monitor his practice status throughout the week and update Discord.

Ladd McConkey (WR) Los Angeles Chargers – McConkey is dealing with a “mild” MCL sprain that could limit him for 1-2 weeks. We will monitor is practice status all week.

Taysom Hill (TE) New Orleans Saints – A torn ACL ended Hill’s season in Week 13.

DeVonta Smith (WR) Philadelphia Eagles – Smith (hamstring) was close to playing last Sunday but was ultimately held out. Early expectations are that he will play against the Panthers. However, with a game that the Eagles are favored to win by nearly two touchdowns, there is a risk that Smith won’t run a full allotment of snaps. Therefore, he’s a risk/reward start in Week 14.

Josh Downs (WR) Indianapolis Colts – The Colts are off this week but we got good news for Downs’s (shoulder) Week 15 availability.

 

Romeo Doubs (WR) Green Bay Packers – Doubs missed Week 13 with a concussion but was a limited participant on Tuesday. The Packers play on Thursday again this week, so Doubs’ status will be updated in Discord.

Trevor Lawrence (QB) Jacksonville Jaguars – A vicious late hit gave Lawrence a severe concussion during Jacksonville’s loss to Houston. At 2-10 and looking at a new regime next year, there is no reason for the Jaguars to trot out Lawrence again this season.

Brock Purdy (QB) San Francisco 49ers– More bad news for the ailing 49ers. Purdy is limited by an injured right (throwing) shoulder. With San Francisco collapsing from the playoff hunt, seeing the team shut Purdy down wouldn’t be a shock. For now, he’s a risky QB2.

Zamir White (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – A quad injury has cost White two games. Teammate Alexander Mattison is also ailing but was closer to playing last week.

Roschon Johnson (RB) Chicago Bears – Johnson exited Week 13 with a concussion. He must clear the NFL’s protocol before he can return. Most players miss at least one week. However, Johnson will have a few extra days to clear since his head injury occurred early on Thursday.

Calvin Austin (WR) Pittsburgh Steelers – Austin is also in the NFL’s concussion protocol.

Tommy DeVito (QB) New York Giants – DeVito missed Thursday’s tilt with a forearm injury. Drew Lock performed well enough as New York’s starter that we’re expecting Lock to retain that job. Regardless, the starting QB in New York has marginal Superflex value at best.

D.J. Turner (WR) Las Vegas Raiders – Expect Tuner to miss significant time. UPDATE: Turner was placed on IR.
