Even as the NFL season continues to dwindle down, injuries are still affecting teams and people who take part in fantasy football. Provided that, here is the Week 14 fantasy football injury report.
QBs
Patriots' Tom Brady (Active): When the New England Patriots released their injury report later in the week, Tom Brady made an appearance with toe and elbow ailments. While it limited him in practice, Brady was removed from the injury report and will play on Sunday versus the Kansas City Chiefs.
Possible replacements: Titans' Ryan Tannehill (vs. Raiders), Jets' Sam Darnold (vs. Dolphins), Dolphins' Ryan Fitzpatrick (vs. Jets)
RBs
Colts' Marlon Mack (Active): The Indianapolis Colts are desperate for some help on offense and they'll receive some in Week 14. After missing the past two weeks, Marlon Mack will return to the lineup on Sunday and “won't be on a pitch count,” per Frank Reich.
Raiders' Josh Jacobs (Questionable): It was discovered earlier this week that Josh Jacobs has been playing through a fractured right shoulder. Due to his serious injury, the rookie running back will be a game-time decision on Sunday.
Jets' Le'Veon Bell (Out): When Le'Veon Bell initially made the injury report due to an illness, there was never the thought that he would be inactive in Week 14. But after he was listed as questionable, he's been downgraded to out for Sunday's contest.
Steelers' James Conner (Out): The Pittsburgh Steelers have been without James Conner for two straight games and he'll miss his third straight on Sunday. The running back told reporters himself that he won't be able to play in Week 14.
Chiefs' Damien Williams (Out): The Kansas City Chiefs are getting pretty thin at the running back position. Besides Darrel Williams, Damien Williams is also slated to be inactive for the Kansas City Chiefs' game in Week 14.
Possible replacements: Steelers' Benny Snell (vs. Cardinals), Jets' Bilal Powell (vs. Dolphins), Lions' Bo Scarbrough (vs. Vikings), Chiefs' LeSean McCoy (vs. Patriots)
WRs
Falcons' Julio Jones (Active): Julio Jones was forced to miss last week's game against the New Orleans Saints due to a shoulder injury. After missing one week, the All-Pro wide receiver will make his return to the Atlanta Falcons' offense in Week 14.
Patriots' Julian Edelman (Active): Julian Edelman has been sighted on New England's injury report for a decent portion of the season. Even though he's listed as questionable, the veteran wideout will suit up on Sunday versus the Chiefs.
Colts' T.Y. Hilton (Out): While the Colts will be getting Mack back, T.Y. Hilton will miss his fifth game in the past six weeks on Sunday. There is currently no timetable in place for Hilton to return as he recovers from a calf issue.
Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster (Out): Alongside Conner, the Steelers will have to endure another week without JuJu Smith-Schuster in the offense. The young pass-catcher has been cleared from concussion protocol but has yet to fully recover from his knee ailment.
Vikings' Adam Thielen (Out): When the practice week began, the Minnesota Vikings were optimistic that Adam Thielen could return to the field in Week 14. With Minnesota erring on the side of caution with their Pro-Bowl receiver, Thielen will miss his fourth consecutive game on Sunday.
Possible replacements: Giants' Darius Slayton (vs. Eagles), Titans' A.J. Brown (vs. Raiders), Jets' Robby Anderson (vs. Dolphins), Steelers' James Washington (vs. Cardinals)
TEs
Falcons' Austin Hooper (Active): Along with Jones, the Falcons are elated to get Austin Hooper back in the offense in Week 14. Hooper has missed Atlanta's last three games but is set to make his return versus the Carolina Panthers.
Panthers' Greg Olsen (Out): While Hooper makes his return for the Falcons, Greg Olsen has been ruled out for the Panthers. The veteran tight end is currently in the NFL's concussion protocol and was unable to clear it before Sunday's game.
Giants' Evan Engram (Out): To begin the week, the New York Giants were hopeful that Evan Engram could play on Monday night. However, the athletic tight end has been ruled as inactive for the third straight game.
Possible replacements: Giants' Kaden Smith (vs. Eagles), Rams' Tyler Higbee (vs. Seahawks), Seahawks' Jacob Hollister (vs. Rams)
