Injury Updates and Fantasy Football Impacts: Rome Odunze, Jayden Daniels, Dalton Kincaid and More

Injury reports are flying in, and a number of high profile fantasy football players' status are being shared. Let's discuss some of them in this article.

Check back over the weekend for more trending start/sit decisions.

Fantasy football injury news can be tracked all season on FantasySP.

Drake London Ruled Out Again

London will miss another game for the Falcons. 

With him out of the picture, Darnell Mooney will be the team's top wideout again. Mooney hasn't done much with London out the past two weeks, and is only rostered in 61% of leagues and starting in 18% of those.

Tight end Kyle Pitts Sr. is the pass catcher in Atlanta that has the best fantasy outlook I think. He's owned in 92% of leagues and starting in 59% of those.

I like starting Pitts this week, while only considering Mooney in deeper setups. Bijan Robinson will be the team's top offensive player, and backup RB Tyler Allgeier could also be a decent fantasy asset.

Alvin Kamara Out Too

Kamara will miss another game, which means Devin Neal will be the team's top back in week 14 again.

Neal led the way last week, and has a favorable matchup against the Buccaneers. He's a hot waiver wire commodity today, and he should continue to see his own and start percentages rise now that Kamara has been ruled out.

Chris Olave, who is questionable, is the team's top fantasy asset, while tight end Juwan Johnson has been a good option as well. Devaughn Vele is trending up as the Sunday game approaches and is another fantasy option in deeper leagues with Kamara now out of the picture.

Two Bucs' Wideouts Out

It's really not a surprise that Mike Evans and Jalen McMillan are both out for the Buccaneers. They are both on the injured reserve list and just started practicing this week.

That means another week of Emeka Egbuka leading the show. Chris Godwin looked pretty good last week and is another decent option for week 14. This could also be the last time tight end Cade Otton is a fantasy option, as Evans and McMillan coming back could soak up the few targets he's been getting of late.

Bucky Irving returned last week and is back to being the workhorse back. Rachaad White and Sean Tucker are only desperation plays in the deepest of leagues, but are more likely to be dropped after low usages this weekend.

Rome Odunze to Miss Week 14

Odunze picked up a foot injury last weekend and won't play in a critical game against the Packers this week. 

Without Odunze out there, D.J. Moore, Luther Burden and Olamide Zaccheaus will help pick up the slack. Tight ends Colston Loveland and Cole Kmet are also options this week now.

Moore becomes a pretty solid fantasy option, and should be picked up in all leagues and starting in at least all deeper leagues. He's a pretty good standard league asset too, but is more on the flex line still.

Burden is a better deep-league option, but is a more confident play with Odunze out. Zaccheaus is more of a lottery ticket play in deeper leagues.

Loveland gets a bump in deep leagues now, and could be a standard league option too. Kmet is a decent deep-league option, but that's it.

Kyle Monangai was cleared from his injury, so expect the Bears to lean on him and D'Andre Swift in week 14 with no Odunze around.

Quarterback Updates

Minnesota's J.J. McCarthy, Lamar Jackson and Jayden Daniels have all been cleared to play this week. Kyler Murray, who has already been out several weeks, has been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

McCarthy cleared concussion protocol. Daniels' elbow injury is apparently healed enough to start. Those two quarterbacks will be facing off this week.

McCarthy has struggled over his past few starts, but his matchup is really good. Daniels has a tougher test, but his dual-threat ability makes him a solid option in any matchup.

Jackson missed some practice this week with an ankle ailment, but will start against the Steelers. He hasn't performed up to his elite self since returning from an injury a few weeks ago, but he's still a pretty good fantasy asset every week. We'll see if he can get things turned around this week.

Aaron Rodgers is another quarterback who is dealing with an injury (left wrist) but carries no injury designation for Sunday.

Other Injury Updates

Aaron Jones Sr. carries no injury designation and will play in week 14 alongside McCarthy. He picked up a shoulder injury last week. 

Jones should serve as the lead Minnesota back as he has been, but Jordan Mason might be a bit more involved with Jones probably not at 100%.

Marvin Harrison has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams. That means Michael Wilson will be Arizona's WR1 again.

Wilson starred in that role in weeks 11 and 12, so many fantasy owners are going to fire him up again in week 14. 

Tee Higgins cleared concussion protocol and will play on Sunday in a big game against Buffalo.

While he will be WR2 to Ja'Marr Chase, with Joe Burrow back, Higgins' fantasy outlook is up, and it makes Higgins a pretty good fantasy asset regardless of the defensive matchup he has.

Jayden Reed could be activated off IR before the Packers' game against the Bears. He still needs to be cleared though.

I wouldn't trust Reed in a standard league, but he could be worth some deep-league starts this week if he ends up playing. It could possibly lower the fantasy expectations for Christian Watson and other Packers' pass catchers.

Dalton Kincaid is questionable with his hamstring and knee injuries.

If he ends up playing, he needs to be starting, as he has the best matchup a fantasy tight end could have against the Bengals.
