Week 14 Injury Report: Isiah Pacheco, Breece Hall, Amari Cooper and More
Week 14 is almost here and there are a ton of questions surrounding a bunch of big-named players who are dealing with injuries. Here are all the latest updates on the fantasy players who may or may not be active this week.

Week 14 Injury Report
Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (Ankle)
After looking like he suffered a potentially season-ending ankle injury on Monday Night Football, it now looks like Lawrence actually has a chance to suit up this week. He's gotten in two practices this week and somehow appears to be on the right side of questionable. However, he's still not a lock to play yet.
Derek Carr, New Orleans Saints (Concussion/Ribs/Shoulder)
Despite suffering two concussions in just a few weeks on top of multiple other ailments, Carr's status is still up in the air for Week 14. He's officially listed as questionable and has a shot to play. If he were to miss this game, Jameis Winston would get the start in his place.
Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens (Illness)
Jackson is dealing with an illness, but we have no reason to believe his status for this week's game is in any jeopardy.
Dorian Thompson-Robinson (Concussion)
DTH has cleared the concussion protocol. However, the team has not committed to a starting QB for Week 14. Joe Flacco could get another start. Flacco starting would be better for the fantasy options but neither quarterback is startable.
Running Backs
Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs (Shoulder)
After not being able to practice all week Pacheco has been ruled out for Week 14. This is a massive blow for fantasy owners. Clyde Edwards-Hellaire is set to start, however, Jerick McKinnon will probably be the better fantasy option.
Kenneth Walker III, Seattle Seahawks (Oblique)
Walker was able to return to practice this week after a multi-week absence. With that said, he's still listed as questionable and is a game-time decision.
Zach Charbonnett, Seattle Seahawks (Knee)
Like Walker, Charbonnet is also listed as questionable and will be a game-time decision. If neither back can go DeeJay Dallas is expected to serve as the lead back.
Aaron Jones, Green Bay Packers (Knee)
Jones is listed as questionable this week and will likely be a game-time decision. If he were to miss another game AJ Dillon would get another start. Dillon is also on the injury report but is fully expected to play.
Travis Etienne, Jacksonville Jaguars (Ribs)
Etienne is once again questionable with the same rib injury he played through last week. We would expect him to be out there again this week despite the questionable tag.
Jonathan Taylor, Indianapolis Colts (Thumb)
As expected, Taylor has been ruled out for Week 14 with a thumb injury and will not play. Zack Moss is a must-start option.
Breece Hall, New York Jets (Ankle)
Hall played through this ankle injury last week but saw a reduced role. He's once again listed as questionable and we anticipate a similar outcome this week.
Raheem Moster, Miami Dolphins (Knee)
Moster returned to practice on Friday and is fully expected to play in Week 14.
Samaje Perine, Cincinnati Bengals (Knee)
Despite being listed as questionable Perine should be good to go on Sunday.
Elijah Mitchell, San Francisco 49ers (Knee)
Mitchell is listed as doubtful for Week 14 with a knee issue. All this means is even more touches for Christian McCaffrey.
Wide Receivers
Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns (Concussion)
Cooper returned to practice and does have a shot to play on Sunday now that they have seemingly eased up on the concussion protocol later in the season. If he is active it would throw some cold water on the Elijah Moore waiver wire hype.
Chris Olave, New Orleans Saints (Illness)
Olave is listed as questionable with an illness this week, but the team says they are hopeful he's able to give it a go. We expect him to be out there. Rashid Shaheed is also questionable and he's less likely to play.
Noah Brown, Houston Texans (Knee)
Much like last week, Brown did not practice at all this week. Last week he did end up suiting up though. He's currently listed as questionable and you'll have to monitor this situation.
Joshua Palmer, Los Angeles Chargers (Knee)
Palmer has been ruled out for Week 14 and is not ready to return from injured reserve yet.
Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers (Hamstring)
Watson wasn't able to get in a practice Friday. Even though he still has another day because the game is on Monday night, we don't expect him to practice on Saturday either. Watson is trying to stay positive, but he won't be out there this week. Jayden Reed was also limited, however, we fully expect him to play.
Tight Ends
Dalton Schultz, Houston Texans (Hamstring)
Schultz has been ruled out with a hamstring injury and will not play in Week 14. This will open up more opportunities for Brevin Jordan.
Hayden Hurst, Carolina Panthers (Concussion)
Hurst did not clear the concussion protocol and has been ruled out for Week 14.
Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints (Quad)
Johnson is listed as questionable with a quad injury but is expected to play this week.
Tyler Higbee, Los Angeles Rams (Neck)
Higbee has been ruled out with a neck injury and will not play in Week 14.
Dawson Knox, Buffalo Bills (Wrist)
Knox has a chance to be activated off IR prior to Sunday's game. This would damage Dalton Kincaid's fantasy value.
