Fantasy Football: Biggest Injury Impacts in Week 14

Week 14 is here and that means for most of you, fantasy playoffs time! Now more than ever do injuries in football have a huge impact on how your league turns out. With that, here at eDraft, we have the most up-to-date injury info!

Aaron Rodgers, Quarterback, Green Bay Packers (hamstring) - Rodgers was able to play through the hamstring injury he has in week 13 and it will be no different this week. He got in three limited practices and was left off the Packers final injury report. He'll suit up on Sunday.

Andrew Luck, Quarterback, Indianapolis Colts (shoulder) - After getting over his concussion, Luck was limited in practice this past week with a shoulder injury. He was removed from the team's final injury report and is in no danger of missing this weekend.

Tom Brady, Quarterback, New England Patriots (knee) - Brady has been dealing with a knee injury the past few weeks but was taken off the team's injury report on Thursday. He is likely in much better condition now and will be all good to play on Monday night.

DeMarco Murray, Running Back, Tennessee Titans (toe) - Murray had the chance to rest during his week 13 bye and was actually removed from the team's injury report earlier this week. He is will keep handling a full work-load but in seemingly better health this weekend.

Mark Ingram, Running Back, New Orleans Saints (toe/knee) - Ingram missed practice on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday. On Friday however, he returned to another limit session and is on track to play this weekend. Ingram should be active for week 14.

Lamar Miller, Running Back,Houston Texans (ribs/ankle) - Miller has been limited in practice all week as the team continues to try and limit his reps while dealing with a couple of different injuries. Despite that, he should be all good to play this weekend.

Matt Forte, Running Back, New York Jets (knee/foot) - After being limited on Wednesday, Forte practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and was kept off the team's final injury report. He will have no issues suiting up this weekend.

Theo Riddick, Running Back, Detroit Lions (wrist) - Riddick has dealt with numerous injuries this season and has been able to play through them for the same part. He was limited in practice all week but all signs point to him playing as usual this weekend.

Ryan Mathews, Running Back, Philadelphia Eagles (knee) - Mathews has been out the past couple of games due to his knee injury but was able to get a full week of practices in. He is listed as questionable but all signs point to him returning this weekend.

T.J. Yeldon, Running Back, Jacksonville Jaguars (ankle) - Yeldon was able to get in a full week of practices and was left off the team's final injury report. He appears to be heading into this game relatively healthy and should command a regular work-load.

Chris Ivory, Running Back, Jacksonville Jaguars (hamstring) - Ivory, on the other hand, has been limited in practice all week with his hamstring issue. He is being called a "game-time decision" for his week 14 status. So be sure to check back in on Sunday for his official game status.

Charles Sims, Running Back, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (knee) - Sims is set to return this weekend after missing the past eight games while being on injured reserve. Coach Dirk Koetter confirmed that the team will activate his this weekend and should be active as well. He could be in for an already large role depending on how well he has recovered.

T,Y. Hilton, Wide Receiver, Indianapolis Colts (back) - Hilton has been dealing with a back issue for the past couple of weeks but was able to practice this week on Wednesday and Thursday before not practicing on Friday. Despite that, it seems like it was a rest day as Hilton is not on the team's final injury report. He'll be good to go for this weekend.

Julio Jones, Wide Receiver, Atlanta Falcons (toe) - Jones has dealt with a myriad of injuries this season but this toe injury he has may actually cost him game-time this weekend. He did not practice this week and is by no means a lock to play this weekend. Coach Dan Quinn expects Jones to play, but Jones is a game-time decision that will be need to be checked on Sunday for official word.

Julian Edelman, Wide Receiver, New England Patriots (foot) - Edelman has been on the Patriots injury report all season with a foot issue but was actually removed from it this week. It's not a surprise but Edelman will definitely suit up this weekend as he may be close to 100% finally.

Brandon Marshall, Wide Receiver, New York Jets (knee/foot) - Despite being listed with more than one injury, Marshall was able to practice fully all three days this weekend and was left off the team's final injury report. He'll be out there playing on Sunday.

Jordan Matthews, Wide Receiver, Philadelphia Eagles (ankle) - After missing the first game of his NFL career, Matthews appears poised to return this weekend. He practiced fully over the past two days and has guaranteed he will play. Matthews will be back in the line-up this weekend.

Michael Thomas, Wide Receiver, New Orleans Saints (foot) - Thomas missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday but did return on Friday in limited fashion. He is listed as "questionable" but he appears good to go for this weekend after practicing on Friday. Double check on Sunday, but he is likely going to play.

Sammy Watkins, Wide Receiver, Buffalo Bills (foot) - As he did last week, Watkins did not practice on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday and Friday. He is "questionable" for this weekend but is in no danger of missing the game.

Tyrell Williams, Wide Receiver, San Diego Chargers (shoulder) - Williams is reported to be dealing with a labrum issue in his shoulder. Despite that, he is continuing to play through it as he got in a full week of practice and was actually left off the team's final injury report. He will undoubtedly play this weekend. 

Dontrelle Inman, Wide Receiver, San Diego Chargers (ankle) - Like his teammate, Inman was able to get in a full week of practice despite his ankle issue. He was also left off the team's final injury report and will also suit up this weekend with no questions asked.

Marvin Jones, Wide Receiver, Detroit Lions (thigh) - Jones was forced to miss last weekend with his thigh injury but was able to practice all week in limited fashion. He is still marked as "questionable" for this weekend but has a better chance of playing. He is expected to return but be sure to check back in on Sunday for confirmation.

DeVante Parker, Wide Receiver, Miami Dolphins (back) - Parker was able to play last weekend with his back injury. This week, he was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday before turning in a full session on Friday. He is going to be all good to play this weekend.

Mohamed Sanu, Wide Receiver, Atlanta Falcons (groin) - Sanu has not been able to practice at all this week and has been ruled out for week 14. He is likely week-to-week at best for the time-being.

Allen Hurns, Wide Receiver, Jacksonville Jaguars (hamstring) - Hurns will miss his second straight game with his hamstring issue after being ruled out again for this weekend. He has yet to practice since suffering the injury and he will continue to be week-to-week for the time-being.

John Brown, Wide Receiver, Arizona Cardinals (illness) - Brown continues to have issues with his sickle-cell trait. He was able to get two limited practice sessions in this week and will likely play this weekend. Despite that, he is still expected to be a snap count for the foreseeable future.

Adam Humphries, Wide Receiver, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (concussion) - Humphries missed last week's game with a concussion. He was able to get in two limited practices this week but was ruled out for week 14. He seems to have a decent chance of returning in week 15.

Jordan Reed, Tight End, Washington Redskins (shoulder) - Reed was forced to miss week 13 with a painful shoulder injury but was able to practice all week, including a full session on Friday. All signs point to him playing, but check back in on Sunday for final confirmation.

Martellus Bennett, Tight End, New England Patriots (ankle) - Bennett continues to deal with his ankle injury but should be able to continue playing despite that. He has been limited in practice all week and should be good to suit up again as the team's starting tight end.

Eric Ebron, Tight End, Detroit Lions (knee) - Ebron was limited in practice all week with a knee issue and is listed as "questionable" for this weekend. Ebron is expected to play, however and should be able to handle close to a full work-load as well.

Julius Thomas, Tight End, Jacksonville Jaguars (back) - Thomas will miss another game this weekend as he continues to sit out due to a back injury. He has yet to return to practice and is at best week-to-week but it's possible he doesn't play again this season with the Jaguars all but out of play-off contention.

Charles Clay, Tight End, Buffalo Bills (knee) - After missing last weekend due to the birth of his child, Clay returned to his normal week of limited practices and is "questionable" to play. He will have no problems suiting up this weekend, as usual.
