Week 14 was another tough one, as fantasy managers have lost Justin Herbert for the year after he injured his finger in a loss to Denver. Those who were riding the wave of rookie sensation C.J. Stroud to the playoffs may also be in a bit of a bind as the young passer is in concussion protocol after a tough hit vs. the Jets on Sunday. Stroud’s top wideout, Nico Collins, also suffered a calf injury and had to leave the game early.

Keep your eyes peeled for updates on running backs Josh JacobsAlexander Mattison, Isiah Pacheco and Brian Robinson Jr. -- all of whom may miss this week. Tyreek Hill managers will hope he can manage his injury as he has in the past, and those who have Ja’Marr Chase should be aware he popped up on the injury report Tuesday. Justin Jefferson remains questionable after a long wait for his return last weekend.

The good news is Joshua Palmer and Darren Waller have the potential to return this week. Stay tuned for more information.

If you’ve made it to the fantasy football playoffs, no doubt you’ll be keeping an eye on this week’s injury reports. Here is a list of players to watch this week:
