Final Fantasy Football Injury Report for Week 15: Aidan O'Connell, Kenneth Walker, Ladd McConkey, David Njoku and More
All the injuries you need to about for this weekend's games.
Quarterbacks
Kyler Murray, Arizona Cardinals (Illness)
Murray has been dealing with an illness this week but is fully expected to be ready to go for Week 15 after practicing in full on Friday.
Aidan O'Connell, Las Vegas Raiders (Knee)
O'Connell is yet to practice this week and it looks like a long shot to play this week. After how his injury looked when it happened, incredibly, his season isn't over, so the fact that he's even listed as questionable has to be considered great news here. The Raiders play on Monday Night Football this week so there is still a chance he ends up suiting up with an extra day to heal up.
Drew Lock, New York Giants (Heel)
Lock is not expected to be active this week and Tommy DeVito will get another start. However, he is no longer in a walking boot and there is a chance he will serve as the team's emergency QB this week.
Running Backs
Kenneth Walker, Seattle Seahawks (Calf)
Walker is on track to miss his second straight game after being listed as doubtful for Week 15. It should be another big workload for Zach Charbonnet on Sunday.
Breece Hall, New York Jets (Knee)
In a bit of a surprise, Breece Hall is expected to play this week. Assuming he is available, it makes Braelon Allen and Isaiah Davis impossible to start in a playoff matchup.
Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Hip/Back)
Irving is officially listed as questionable but was not able to practice at all this week. There's still a chance he plays, however, he's on the wrong side of questionable. His absence would be a massive boost for Rachaad White and perhaps give some value to Sean Tucker as a cheap DFS option.
D'Andre Swift, Chicago Bears (Groin)
As of Friday, Swift has not been able to practice at all this week. Roschon Johnson also hasn't been able to clear the concussion protocol. There is still time for things to change because Chicago plays on Monday Night Football but there is a good chance that Travis Homer is the RB1 for the Bears this week. He would be a volume-based sleeper option for desperate owners.
Tony Pollard, Tennessee Titans (Ankle)
Pollard is listed as questionable for Week 15 and is not a lock to suit up for this week's game. However, he is tentatively expected to play. Just be sure to have a pivot plan just in case. Tajae Spears would see a lot more work if Pollard is a surprise inactive.
Aaron Jones, Minnesota Vikings (Back)
Jones is practicing in full and will be good to go for Week 15.
Wide Receivers
George Pickens, Pittsburgh Steelers (Hamstring)
Pickens will miss a second straight game this week after injuring his hamstring in practice prior to Week 14. His absence hurts everyone in the Pittsburgh offense and leaves every non-running back on the offense as a bad fantasy option. Hopefully, he can return for Week 16, but it's no sure thing.
Ladd McConkey, Los Angeles Chargers (Shoulder/Knee)
McConkey is listed as questionable for Week 15, however, we do expect him to be out there. With that said, we expected him to play last week as well and he ended up being a surprise inactive.
Jakobi Meyers, Las Vegas Raiders (Ankle)
Meyers is on the right side of questionable for Week 15. You can expect to have him this weekend, but the quarterback situation could tank his value.
Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts (Shoulder)
Despite finishing the week with a full practice, Downs is looking like a true-game decision and his status for Sunday is very much in question. You will have to monitor this situation right up until game time.
Marquise Brown, Kansas City Chiefs (Shoulder)
Brown will not make his Chiefs' debut this week but is expected to play at some point in the regular season.
Cedric Tillman, Cleveland Browns (Concussion)
Tillman returned to practice this week but still has not been able to clear the concussion protocol. An absence this long from a concussion is very concerning, however, his return to practice is encouraging.
Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills (Wrist)
We've been here before, nevertheless, it would be shocking if Coleman didn't make his return to action this week.
Tight Ends
David Njoku, Cleveland Browns (Hamstring)
Njoku was not able to practice at all this week after popping up on the injury report this week with a hamstring injury. He's officially listed as questionable and will likely be a game-time decision. However, he seems to be trending in the wrong direction and we don't expect to have him available this week.
Evan Engram, Jacksonville Jaguars (Shoulder)
Engram underwent surgery on his torn labrum this week, which will end his season. While you should probably avoid him at all costs, Luke Farrell will likely be the next man up at tight end for the Jags.
Will Dissly, Los Angeles Chargers (Shoulder)
After being listed as doubtful all week, Dissly has now officially been ruled out for Week 15. The injury is expected to cost him at least another week after this one. Stone Smartt is the next man up for the Chargers at tight end.
Dalton Kincaid, Buffalo Bills (Knee)
Kincaid is listed as questionable for Week 15 but is trending in the right direction for a return to action. We expect him to be out there on Sunday.
