There are only two weeks remaining in the NFL season but injuries continue to be a factor in fantasy football playoffs. Given that, here is the Week 16 fantasy football injury report.
QBs
Cowboys' Dak Prescott (Active): Throughout the entire week, Dak Prescott wasn't able to throw the ball much due to a shoulder injury. Despite the injury preventing him from practicing as a full participant, Prescott has been removed from the Dallas Cowboys' injury report and will start on Sunday.
Giants' Daniel Jones (Active): The New York Giants have had Eli Manning starting at quarterback in the last two weeks. Following his two-week battle with an ankle ailment, Daniel Jones will be returning as the starter versus the Washington Redskins.
RBs
Lions' Kerryon Johnson (Active): The Detroit Lions have been without Kerryon Johnson for the past eight weeks because of a knee injury. Following an eight-game stint on injured reserve, Johnson has been activated and is expected to receive his ‘normal share' of carries.
Chiefs' Damien Williams (Active): Damien Williams has been nursing a rib injury over the past few weeks. Luckily for the Kansas City Chiefs, Williams appears to be making his return to the offense in Week 16.
Titans' Derrick Henry (Out): Derrick Henry has been dealing with a nagging hamstring injury over the past couple of weeks. After initially believing he would play, the Tennessee Titans are not expected to have Henry available on Sunday.
Vikings' Dalvin Cook (Out): The Minnesota Vikings have clinched a playoff berth and can sit players with injuries to end the season. After being unable to practice this week, Dalvin Cook has officially been ruled out in Week 16 versus the Green Bay Packers.
Raiders' Josh Jacobs (Out): It was discovered a few weeks ago that Josh Jacobs was playing through a fractured shoulder. After being able to suit up in Week 15, the Oakland Raiders' rookie rusher is going to be inactive versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
Eagles' Jordan Howard (Out): Jordan Howard made some progress with his Week 9 shoulder injury this week. But after being listed as questionable, Howard will miss another week of action on Sunday.
Possible replacements: Vikings' Mike Boone (vs. Packers), Raiders' DeAndre Washington (vs. Chargers), Eagles' Boston Scott (vs. Cowboys), Titans' Dion Lewis (vs. Saints)
WRs
Jaguars' D.J. Chark (Active): The Jacksonville Jaguars were unable to have D.J. Chark available last week against the Oakland Raiders. Fortunately, Chark is expected to make his return versus the Atlanta Falcons.
Cardinals' Christian Kirk (Active): Christian Kirk has been dealing with an ankle injury during the week of practice. Despite being listed as questionable, the Arizona Cardinals expect him to give it a go on Sunday.
Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster (Active): JuJu Smith-Schuster hasn't been able to play for the Pittsburgh Steelers since Week 11. After missing a month of action, Smith-Schuster is expected to suit up in Week 16.
Panthers' Curtis Samuel (Active): Curtis Samuel has been monitoring a knee injury throughout the week for the Carolina Panthers. Even though he is listed as questionable, Samuel is poised to play on Sunday versus the Indianapolis Colts.
Eagles' Nelson Agholor (Out): The Philadelphia Eagles are going to be shorthanded at wide receiver for yet another week. For the third straight week, Nelson Agholor is likely to be inactive for the Eagles.
Possible replacements: Eagles' Greg Ward (vs. Cowboys), Steelers' James Washington (vs. Jets), Jaguars' Chris Conley (vs. Falcons)
TEs
Steelers' Vance McDonald (Active): Besides Smith-Schuster, the Steelers will also have Vance McDonald available on Sunday. McDonald was inactive during last week's contest against the Buffalo Bills because of a concussion.
Giants' Evan Engram (Out): The New York Giants have held out hope that Evan Engram could finish the season. Sadly, the Giants were forced to place Engram on injured reserve earlier this week.
Possible replacements: Giants' Kaden Smith (vs. Redskins), Titans' Jonnu Smith (vs. Saints), Broncos' Noah Fant (vs. Lions)
