Week 14 Injury Updates

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)

Data strongly favors him playing. However, players with AC re-sprains often see a 10-20% dip in stats.

Malik Nabers (WR – NYG)

TBD. Data favors sitting (60%). High re-injury risk if active.

Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)

Out with an MCL injury. Average recovery is 2-4 weeks, and data suggests he’s likely to miss Week 15 as well.

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

TBD. Data projects a 2-in-3 chance to play, with a mild ~10% dip in production due to LPs across the week.

Ja’Marr Chase (WR – CIN)

Set to play, with no production dip expected for WRs logging full practices (FP) after an ankle injury.

Bucky Irving (RB – TB)

TBD. Data slightly favors him playing (55%), but RBs often experience fewer touches and a performance dip upon return.

George Pickens (WR – PIT)

TBD. While comments suggest he’ll play, data leans the opposite direction (60%). If active, no dip is projected, but his re-injury risk is high (15-20%).

Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)

TBD. Data slightly favors him playing, but concern remains as he’s still in a non-contact jersey.

Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)

TBD. Data gives him a 60% chance of playing. Re-injury risk and efficiency dip are both ~15%.

DJ Moore (WR – CHI)

TBD. Leaning towards playing. Data suggests a mild production dip and moderate re-injury risk.

Mike Evans (WR – TB)

Cleared to play. No production dip projected, but re-injury risk remains high.

Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)

Playing. DNPs are likely load management. His high re-injury risk persists.

Jakobi Meyers (WR – LV)

TBD. Data favors playing (60%). No dip is expected if active.

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

Playing with projected 90%+ production levels. Re-injury risk is mild (~15%).

DK Metcalf (WR – SEA)

Playing with no projected production dip.

Jake Ferguson (TE – DAL)

Cleared to play with no expected dip in performance.

Alexander Mattison (RB – LV)

TBD. Data gives him a 2-in-3 chance to play. RBs returning often see a reduction in touches.

Kendre Miller (RB – NO)

Likely playing, though his workload remains uncertain. RBs tend to experience a mild dip in touches for the first two games back.

Brock Purdy (QB – SF)

Expected to be at full strength. Low re-injury risk following a clean MRI.

Raheem Mostert (RB – MIA)

TBD. Data favors playing (60%).

Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)

Out due to a concussion. Likely to return Week 15 with no production dip projected.

Dallas Goedert (TE – PHI)

Diagnosis unclear. Placed on IR, with reports pointing to a likely return in Week 18 or the first round of the playoffs.

Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX)

Pending left AC surgery. Expected to be 100% by Week 1 of next season without increased re-injury risk.

Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)

Recovering from a PCL injury. Short-term outlook remains promising, with 90% of pre-injury strength projected by Week 1 of 2025. His age suggests the RB production cliff may be near but hasn’t arrived yet.

D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)

TBD. Data slightly favors playing (55%).

Kenneth Walker (RB – SEA)

TBD. Data favors sitting. Historically, ~2/3 of RBs who log LP -> DNP x2 miss the following game.
