NFL Overreactions Week 14
Mackenzie Salmon breaks down the biggest NFL storylines from Week 14.
Sports Seriously
It’s Week 15 of the NFL season, which means many fantasy football leagues are starting their playoffs and the rest are one week away. All 32 NFL teams are back in action this week after the second and last “Byemaggedon” of the year saw six teams off last week.
Plenty of crucial players in fantasy football came up on injury reports to start the week. Here’s the latest on injuries to key players ahead of Week 15:
Fantasy football injury report Week 15
RB Breece Hall, New York Jets: Questionable (knee)
Hall did not play last week against Miami and did not practice on Wednesday. Jets interim coach Jeff Ulbrich said that the running back is “struggling a bit” with his injury and it’s uncertain whether he’ll play Sunday against Jacksonville.
WR CeeDee Lamb, Dallas Cowboys: Questionable (shoulder)
Lamb has been dealing with a shoulder injury since Thanksgiving. It did not keep him out of last week’s loss to Cincinnati and only limited him during Wednesday’s practice. He’s still likely going to play in Week 15.
RB Raheem Mostert, Miami Dolphins: Questionable (hip)
Mostert missed Week 14 against the Jets with a hip injury. He was limited in Wednesday’s practice, an improvement compared to last week. His outlook is much better this week and he may suit up against Houston.
WR Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins: Questionable (hamstring)
Waddle was limited in practice Wednesday but hasn’t missed any time with this injury so far this season. It’d be a surprise if he wasn’t a full-go for Week 15 against the Texans.
TE Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers: Questionable (ankle)
Musgrave was back on the field for the first time since his ankle surgery in October. He was limited but this is a big step to coming back in a full-time capacity.
RB Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints: Questionable (illness)
Kamara missed practice Wednesday with an unspecified illness. This is a new development because he was a full-go in Week 14 against the Giants. His status on Friday will be the biggest indicator in whether or not he’ll be on the field for Week 15.
RB Isaac Guerendo, San Francisco 49ers: Questionable (foot)
Guerendo did not practice on Monday or Tuesday and was limited on Wednesday. His foot injury seems significant enough that he appears more likely than not to miss “Thursday Night Football” against the Rams.
TE Trey McBride, Arizona Cardinals: Questionable (knee)
McBrdie was limited in practice on Wednesday with a new injury to his knee. Given he was not injured in-game in Week 14, this seems likely not severe enough to keep him out of action in Week 15.
RB Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans: Questionable (ankle)
Pollard had one of his better weeks of the season in Week 14 but did not practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury. How he progresses during the week will be crucial to his availability on Sunday against the Bengals. Second-string running back Tyjae Spears may be worth a look in case Pollard is unable to go.
WR Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts: Questionable (shoulder)
Downs was limited in practice Wednesday with a shoulder injury he’s been battling for weeks. It did not keep him out of the lineup in Week 14 and likely will not again in Week 15.
WR George Pickens, Pittsburgh Steelers: Questionable (hamstring)
Pickens did not practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury that kept him out of action in Week 14. Team officials have stated he’s unlikely to play in Week 15 and it’s best to assume he’ll be out of the lineup.
WR Malik Nabers, New York Giants: Questionable (hip)
Nabers was limited in practice Wednesday with a hip injury. It doesn’t seem serious enough to keep him out of the lineup in Week 15 but it’s worth monitoring throughout the week.
WR Noah Brown, Washington Commanders: Doubtful (kidney)
Brown initially was diagnosed with a rib injury in Week 14 but coach Dan Quinn said Wednesday that it’s a “serious injury.” He suffered internal injuries and could be out for the rest of the season.
TE Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills: Questionable (knee)
Kincaid was a full-go in practice Wednesday after missing Week 14 against the Rams. He looks poised to make his first appearance in the lineup since Week 10 against the Colts.
WR Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills: Questionable (wrist)
Buffalo’s top draft pick fully participated in practice on Wednesday and looks like he could play on Sunday for the first time since Week 9.
