Week 18 Fantasy Football Injury Report: Trevor Lawrence, Raheem Mostert, Alvin Kamara, Jaylen Waddle and More
Here are all the latest updates on all the injured fantasy stars for Week 18.
Week 18 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 18 Injury Report
Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars (Shoulder/Finger)
Lawrence is officially listed as questionable for Week 18. He is expected to be a true game-time decision. This game matters for the Jags because the AFC South is on the line. Lawrence would be a boost for the entire offense.
Baker Mayfield, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Ribs)
Mayfield is considered questionable for Week 18. However, he is fully expected to be out there this week.
Will Levis, Tennessee Titans (Foot)
Levis has once again been ruled out for Week 18 with a foot injury. His rookie season has come to a conclusion. Ryan Tannehill will get one more start as a Titan.
Taylor Heinicke, Atlanta Falcons (Ankle)
Heinicke is officially listed as questionable for Week 18. If he is able to go he's expected to be the starter but that is not a sure thing.
Running Backs
Josh Jacobs, Las Vegas Raiders (Quad)
Jacobs has once again been ruled out for Week 18. His season is officially over and Zamir White will get another start and likely see a ton of volume.
D'Andre Swift, Philadelphia Eagles (Illness)
Swift is listed as questionable for Week 18. Even if he is able to suit up, we don't expect to see a lot of him this week. The Eagles will likely be resting people by the second half.
Raheem Mostert, Miami Dolphins (Ankle/Knee)
Mostert is once again listed as questionable this week after missing Week 17. He did finally get a practice in on Friday, giving him some hope of playing on Sunday. This is a situation you will have to monitor and De'Von Achane will once again be a fantastic option if Mostert is unable to play.
Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints (Ankle)
Kamara was forced from last week's game with an ankle injury and was unable to return. After missing an entire week of practice, he looks to be on the wrong side of questionable for Week 18. If he is unable to suit up, Jamaal Williams should see bell-cow touches.
Khalil Herbert, Chicago Bears (Back)
Herbert left practice on Thursday and was added to the injury report with a back issue. He then was unable to practice at all on Friday and is now listed as questionable. None of this bodes well for his availability this week, but he still could end up being out there. This is a situation you will have to monitor closely. If he's unable to go, then Roschon Johnson would likely be in line for all the touches he can handle.
Isiah Pacheco, Kansas City Chiefs (Shoulder/Quad)
Pacheco is listed as questionable for Week 18 with a couple of lingering issues. Andy Reid said that he does expect Pacheco to be available for this week's game. However, it would be surprising to see him get much work if any in a meaningless game just a few weeks removed from a concussion and shoulder surgery. Clyde Edwards-Helaire should be the bell-cow back this week for Kansas City.
AJ Dillon, Green Bay Packers (Thumb/Neck)
Dillion has been ruled out for Week 18. Aaron Jones should see a slight uptick in touches with Dillion sidelined. It's unclear if he would be available next week should the Packers defeat the Chicago Bears and make the playoffs.
Wide Receivers
Jaylen Waddle, Miami Dolphins (Ankle)
Waddle is listed as questionable for Week 18 and the team is talking like he does have a chance to play. However, it would be shocking if he suited up this quickly after suffering a high-ankle sprain.
DeVonta Smith, Philadelphia Eagles (Ankle)
Smith was unable to practice at all this week and has been ruled out for Week 18. The team will hope he is ready to go for the playoffs next week.
Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars (Groin)
Kirk is considered a game-time decision for Week 18. He has a real shot to return from injured reserve this week and give this offense a huge shot in the arm with their season on the line.
Tee Higgins, Cincinnati Bengals (Hamstring)
Higgins is considered doubtful for Week 18 and is not expected to play. The good news is that the Bengals are expected to have Ja'Marr Chase out there this weekend.
Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers (Hamstring)
Once again, all the Packers wide receivers are considered questionable. Along with Watson, Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks are both truly questionable for Week 18. This WR corps is banged up and you will have to monitor the situation right up until game time if you plan on starting anybody.
Keenan Allen, Los Angeles Chargers (Heel)
Keenan Allen has once again been ruled out for Week 18.
Amari Cooper, Cleveland Browns (Heel)
Cooper has been ruled out for Week 18. With nothing to play for, there is no reason to have him out there and risk injury. His status for the playoffs is still up in the air. Elijah Moore is also questionable due to a concussion.
Tight Ends
Cole Kmet, Chicago Bears (Knee)
Knet is considered questionable for Week 18. However, after getting in a few practices to end the week, he looks like he should be out there on Sunday.
Hunter Henry, New England Patriots (Knee)
Henry has been ruled out for Week 18 with a knee injury, ending his season.
Juwan Johnson, New Orleans Saints (Chest)
Johnson is listed as questionable for Week 18 with a chest injury but is expected to be out there.
