Week 18 Waiver Wire Targets & Injury Updates
FullTime Fantasy: Week 17 Injury Report & Waiver Radar Written by Duke Deming FullTime Fantasy evaluates the injury report from Week 17 and highlights the top waiver wire targets for Week 18 of fantasy football. Week 17 Injury Report Geno Smith (QB – LV) Suffered a high-ankle sprain and did not return to the game. Smith’s availability for Week 18 is uncertain, and Kenny Pickett is set to serve as the backup option. Malik Willis (QB – GB) Left the game early with a shoulder injury. Injuries to Willis and Jordan Love leave Green Bay’s quarterback situation uncertain heading into the final week of the regular season. Javonte Williams (RB – DAL) Exited the game early with a shoulder injury. Williams will most likely sit in Week 18 with the Cowboys eliminated from playoff contention. Malik Davis should see an uptick in volume. Breece Hall (RB – NYJ) Did not return after suffering a knee injury. Hall told reporters the injury isn’t serious, and he is expected to play in Week 18. TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE) Left the game early after taking a hard hit and sustaining a head injury. Rhamondre Stevenson will likely see a heavier workload if Henderson is unable to play in Week 18. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DET) Injured his knee late in the game. St. Brown is considered day-to-day, and there’s a good chance he sits with the Lions eliminated from playoff contention. Rashid Shaheed (WR – LAR) Suffered a concussion in the first quarter of Week 17. If he’s unable to clear protocol in Week 18, Cooper Kupp and Dareke Young could see additional opportunities. Harold Fannin Jr. (WR – KC) Re-aggravated his groin injury and did not return to the game. Fannin Jr. is set to undergo an MRI, and his season could be over with the Browns eliminated from playoff contention. Also: Rams RB Blake Corum sustained an ankle injury in the 2nd quarter. Ronnie Rivers would serve as the RB2 if he can’t go this week. Week 18 Waiver Wire Radar 1. Tyler Shough (QB – NO) Continued his fantasy hot streak in Week 17, throwing for 333 yards and two touchdowns. Shough will look to finish a strong rookie campaign against the Falcons in Week 18. 2. Malik Davis (RB – DAL) Posted 100 rushing yards for the first time in his career. If Javonte Williams is held out in Week 18, Davis could be elevated into a significant role. 3. Parker Washington (WR – JAX) Saw 10 targets and topped 100 receiving yards for the second straight week. Washington is playing his way into a larger role in the Jaguars’ passing game. 4. Luther Burden III (WR – CHI) Had a monster game in Week 17, catching eight passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. This performance should elevate him into a bigger role in Week 18. — Update: Burden did sustain a quad injury after the game but it is not believed to be serious. Watch the practice reports but he’s worth a gamble if he’s out there on the wire. 5. Jalen McMillan (WR – TB) Posted a huge game in Week 17, hauling in seven catches for 114 yards. McMillan will look to build on this performance as the Buccaneers play for the division in Week 18. 6. AJ Barner (TE – SEA) Continues to be a fantasy weapon for the Seahawks. The tight end recorded three catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 17. 7. Colston Loveland (TE – CHI) The rookie tight end has been extremely consistent for the Bears this year. He had a strong Week 17, posting six catches for 94 yards and a touchdown. Others to consider: LAR RB Ronnie Rivers, NO RB Audric Estime, JAX WR Parker Washington, LV TE Michael Mayer, SAINTS DST, TEN TE Chig Okonkwo, BAL TE Isaiah Likely Points Allowed Depth Charts YTD Points Scored Rankings
Week 17 Waiver Wire Targets & Injury Updates
Written by Duke Deming FullTime Fantasy evaluates the injury report from Week 16 and highlights the top waiver wire targets for Week 17 of fantasy football. Week 16 Injury Report Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) Removed from game before halftime with a back injury. He is considered day-to-day with a back contusion, so we will monitor his status heading into Week 17. Jordan Love (QB – GB) Left game early with a concussion. Malik Willis entered the game as the backup, and will most likely start in Week 17 if Love is unable to clear concussion protocol. J.J McCarthy (QB – MIN) Exited game early with a hand injury. The young quarterback is day-to-day after receiving negative X-rays on his injury. Max Brosmer will start if McCarthy is unable to play. Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) Suffered a fractured leg and dislocated ankle, and will miss the rest of the season. One of Dylan Sampson, Raheim Sanders, or Trayveon Williams will play the lead role next week. TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE) Left game early after suffering a head injury from a hard tackle. Rhamondre Stevenson will receive a big workload if Henderson is unable to play in Week 17. Jordan Mason (RB – MIN) Forced to leave Week 16 early with an ankle injury. Aaron Jones Sr. saw 23 touches and will be in line for another big workload if Mason can’t play in Week 17. Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Missed Week 16 with his hamstring injury. The Rams have a long week, so the extra rest could help Adams return for Week 17. If not, Puka Nacua could see another monster workload. Rashee Rice (WR – KC) Unable to play in Week 16 due to a concussion. The Chiefs are eliminated from playoff contention and playing backup quarterbacks, so Rice does not project well for the rest of the season even if he is able to play. Week 17 Waiver Wire Radar 1. Tyler Shough (QB – NO) The rookie quarterback is on a fantasy hot streak since Week 10. In Week 16, Shough posted his first 300-yard passing game. He has a favorable matchup versus the Titans in Week 17. 2. Blake Corum (RB – WAS) Continues to see an increased role in the Rams’ offense. Corum had 14 carries for 48 yards and a touchdown last week, along with a 13-yard reception. 3. Tyjae Spears (RB – TEN) Spears broke out last week, running for 52 yards and a touchdown against the Chiefs. He also added 5 catches for 53 yards through the air. 4. Parker Washington (WR – JAX) Had a monster game with 6 receptions for 145 yards and a touchdown in Week 16. He should continue to see an increased usage in the Jaguars’ passing game. 5. Mack Hollins (WR – NE) Played a big role in Week 16 with 9 targets. He hauled in 7 of them for 69 yards. The Patriots have some injuries at wide receiver, so Hollins should be on the field a lot in Week 17. 6. A.J. Barner (TE – SEA) Barner is quietly putting up a great fantasy season for the Seahawks. He had 4 receptions for 49 yards and a touchdown in Week 16. 7. Taysom Hill (TE – NO) The versatile player for the Saints has not been a huge fantasy factor this season, but he could play a big role at the end of the season. He threw for a touchdown in Week 16, along with 12 carries for 42 yards. Points Allowed Depth Charts YTD Points Scored Rankings
Week 16 Waiver Wire Targets & Week 15 Injury Updates
Week 16 Waiver Wire Targets & Week 15 Injury Updates FullTime Fantasy reviews the injury report from Week 15 and highlights the top waiver wire targets for Week 16 of fantasy football. Written by Duke Deming Week 15 Injury Report Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC) Suffered torn ACL and LCL, and will miss the rest of the season. Mahomes will attempt to recover before the start of the 2026 season. Bhayshul Tuten (RB – JAX) Left game early with a finger injury and will require surgery. Tuten is expected to miss the rest of the regular season, and Travis Etienne will take on an increased role during his absence. Woody Marks (RB – HOU) Exited game early with an ankle injury and did not return. Marks is questionable to play in Week 16, and we will monitor his progression during the week. RJ Harvey (RB – DEN) Picked up a rib injury at the end of Week 15. His current status for next week is unknown, but it is worth noting that Denver claimed Cody Schrader off the waivers on Monday. Devin Neal (RB – NO) Left early with a hamstring strain and did not return. Due to the level of injury, Neal is not expected to suit up for Week 16. Davante Adams (WR – LAR) Aggravated his hamstring injury and left the game early. The Rams play on Thursday night in Week 16, which will make it very difficult for Adams to recover in time to play. Christian Watson (WR – GB) Suffered a SC Joint Sprain in his left shoulder. Watson was taken to the hospital where he received clean reports, but he is expected to be sidelined for at least one week. Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF) Re-aggravated the PCL sprain that has been bothering him all season. He has not been ruled out for Week 16 yet, but it appears that there is a good chance he will not play. Week 16 Waiver Wire Radar 1. Jayden Reed (WR – GB) Led the Packers with 55 receiving yards in Week 15. If Christian Watson is ruled out for Week 16, Reed will see an increased role in the passing game. 2. Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB – WAS) Posted 18 carries for 96 yards and a touchdown in Week 15. If Chris Rodriguez Jr. misses another week, Croskey-Merritt should have another solid fantasy performance. 3. Jawhar Jordan (RB – HOU) Received 15 carries for 101 yards on the ground, and added 2 catches for 17 yards through the air. If Woody Marks is unable to go in Week 16, Jordan will see a big role in the Houston backfield. 4. C.J. Stroud (QB – HOU) Had an impressive performance in Week 15 with 260 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. Stroud looks to continue his hot streak against the Raiders this week. 5. Darren Waller (TE – MIA) Posted his best performance of the year with 7 catches, 66 yards, and two touchdowns in Week 15. Waller should continue to see a big role in the Dolphins’ offense. 6. Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU) Continues to see increased usage in the Houston offense. In Week 15, Schultz had 8 catches for 76 yards and a touchdown. 7. Colby Parkinson (TE – LAR) Continues to benefit from the absence of Tyler Higbee. Parkinson hauled in 5 receptions for 75 yards and two touchdowns. He has now scored six touchdowns over the last six weeks. Points Allowed|Depth Charts|YTD Points Scored|Rankings

Fortunately, Achane appears to have avoided a serious issue and has a strong chance to play in Week 15.

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL) Suffered a concussion and did not return. Lamb has received a positive progression report, but his Week 15 status remains uncertain.

He posted 19 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown in Week 14, making him a must-add. Find premium matchups. 2. Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA) Stepped up with 24 carries for 107 yards and a touchdown after De’Von Achane’s injury. Wright is a prime pickup if Achane misses more time. 3. Blake Corum (RB – LAR) Delivered a monster Week 14 performance with 12 carries for 128 yards and two touchdowns. Though behind Kyren Williams, Corum’s recent output makes him a fantasy-relevant option. Check RB rankings. 4. Jayden Reed (WR – GB) Returned from injured reserve after missing time since Week 2. Reed’s high-upside role in the Green Bay offense makes him a valuable waiver target for Week 15 waiver wire and injuries strategies. Explore WR rankings. 5.

Fannin Jr. is a rising star at tight end, perfect for addressing Week 15 waiver wire and injuries gaps. See TE rankings. 6. Dalton Schultz (TE – HOU) Had a quiet Week 14 (3 catches for 22 yards), but his season-long stats rank him top 10 among tight ends in receptions and receiving yards, making him a reliable add for Week 15 waiver wire and injuries planning. 7. Shedeur Sanders (QB – CLE) Burst onto the scene with 364 passing yards, three touchdowns, 29 rushing yards, and a rushing score. Head coach Kevin Stefanski has named him the starter for the season’s remainder—grab him now for Week 15 waiver wire and injuries success! View QB rankings.

Week 14 Injury Report & Waiver Radar
FullTime Fantasy: Injury Report & Waiver Radar Injury Updates + Top Week 14 Waiver Targets Written by Duke Deming FullTime Fantasy goes over the injury report from Week 13 and highlights the top waiver wire targets for Week 14 of fantasy football. Weekly Injury Report Justin Herbert (QB – LAC) Suffered a fractured hand in Week 13, and he is set to have surgery this week. Herbert told reporters that he doesn’t expect to miss any time. J.J. McCarthy (QB – MIN) Missed Week 13 after he was unable to clear concussion protocol before the game. Max Brosmer started at quarterback in his place. Aaron Jones (RB – MIN) Suffered a shoulder injury in Week 13 and was unable to return to the game. Jones is considered day-to-day heading into Week 14. Kyren Williams (RB – LAR) Exited Week 13 early with an ankle injury, but was able to return later in the game. Blake Corum will see an increased role if Williams misses any time. Woody Marks (RB – HOU) Left Week 13 early with a foot injury, but was able to return to the game in the second quarter. We expect Marks to play in Week 14, but we will keep an eye on his status. Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DET) Suffered an ankle sprain in the first quarter of Week 13 and did not return. He is currently considered week-to-week, so his status for Week 14 is uncertain. Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI) Left Week 13 early with a heel injury and did not return. His status is currently unknown, so we will continue to monitor his progress during the week. Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF) Inactive in Week 13 due to hamstring injury. He remains questionable, but he should have a decent chance to play in Week 14 considering he was limited in practice last week. Week 14 Waiver Wire Radar Note: We’re assuming NO RB Devin Neal is already rostered, if not he’s priority number #1 and a borderline RB2 the rest of the way especially if they shut Alvin Kamara down. 1. Jayden Higgins (WR – HOU) Higgins is commanding an increasing role in the Texans’ passing game. He hauled in 5 catches for 65 yards in Week 13. 2. Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB- WAS) Continues to find success out of the backfield for the Commanders. Compiled 41 rushing yards and a touchdown in Week 13. 3. Blake Corum (RB – LAR) Put together his best game of his season with 81 rushing yards and a touchdown. He will see a high-volume role if Kyren Williams has to miss any time with an ankle injury. 4. Adonai Mitchell (WR – NYJ) AD Mitchell had a monster game in Week 13, converting 12 targets into 8 receptions, 102 yards, and a touchdown. He’s immediately startable in most lineups on a team playing from behind most weeks. 5. Harold Fannin Jr. (TE- CLE) Fannin Jr. continues to be a main target in the Browns’ offense. The tight end had 3 catches for 43 yards and a touchdown in Week 13. 6. Colston Loveland (TE – CHI) Loveland saw 6 targets in Week 13, catching 3 for 28 yards. The tight end has now seen at least four targets in seven straight weeks. 7. Isaac TeSlaa (WR – DET) TeSlaa had a solid game with 2 catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in Week 13. The wide receiver will see a large role if Amon-Ra St. Brown misses Week 14. The Lions play on Thursday. Deeper leagues: DeVaughn Vele (WR – NO) Clear #2 behind Olave (back issues), good route participation scores and great playoff matchups down the stretch. What if the Saints shut Olave down? Upside. Tom Kennedy (WR – DET) Not bad for a 2025 debut. 4 catches on 4 targets for 36 yards. Signed off the practice squad last week, he was thrust into action when St. Brown exited the game early. Both Raymond and St. Brown are questionable and with a Thursday night game, we could see a lot more Kennedy in Week 14.

Brenton Strange (TE – JAC) Returned catching all five of his targets for 93 yards and a top-half TE1 finish. 8. Chris Rodriguez Jr. (RB – WAS) Taking over lead-back duties + favorable playoff schedule. Desperate? 9. Raheem Mostert (RB – LV) The Ashton Jeanty injury isn’t believed to be serious, but if Carroll chooses a cautious approach, Mostert is next man up. 10. Greg Dortch (WR – ARI) Having any piece of the Brissett comeback tour is a pretty exciting option for any team that’s been riddled with injuries. 11. John Metchie III (WR – NYJ) Led the team with an 88% route share and caught six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown. Looks like the top option on a team that should be playing from behind most games and now with a competent throwing QB. Week 13 Byes: NONE Points Allowed|Player Rankings|YTD Fantasy Points

Written by Duke Deming Week 9 Injury Report Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) Sustained a dislocated elbow in the fourth quarter. Daniels is set to undergo an MRI on Monday, and Mariota will most likely take over under center for the upcoming weeks. C.J. Stroud (QB – HOU) Ruled out for the game after being evaluated for a concussion versus the Broncos. Stroud must pass concussion protocol to play in Week 10. Puka Nacua (WR – LA) Left early with a chest injury in the third quarter and did not return to the game. Davante Adams will return to the WR1 role if Nacua misses any time. Aaron Jones (RB – MIN) Suffered a shoulder injury in the third quarter and did not return to the game. Jordan Mason will return to the lead back role if Jones is forced to miss time. Tucker Kraft (TE – GB) Feared to have torn ACL and awaiting MRI confirmation on Monday. Luke Musgrave will step into the starting tight end role for the Packers. Kayshon Boutte (WR – NE) Left game with hamstring injury in the second quarter and did not return. DeMario Douglas had an uptick in production in Boutte’s absence. Cole Kmet (TE – CHI) Ruled out after leaving the game with a concussion. Rookie Colston Loveland had a big day in his absence. Kmet will have to pass concussion protocol to play next week. D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI) Missed Week 9 with a groin injury and status for Week 10 is uncertain. Backup Kyle Monangai had a monster game with 198 scrimmage yards in Swift’s absence. Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC) Did not play in Week 9 with a knee injury. Kareem Hunt started in his place. The severity of Pacheco’s injury is currently uncertain. Luke McCaffrey (WR – WAS) Suffered a shoulder injury on opening play and did not return versus the Seahawks. His status for next week is uncertain. Week 10 Waiver Wire Radar 1. Sam Darnold (QB – SEA) Pick up Darnold if he is still available in your league. Posted 330 yards and 4 touchdowns on Sunday Night football versus the Commanders. 2. Kyle Monangai (RB – CHI) Had an impressive game with 176 rushing yards and 22 receiving yards. He should play an increased role in the Bears’ offense, especially if Swift misses any more time. 3. Colston Loveland (TE – CHI) Put up 6 catches for 118 yards and 2 touchdowns. This was a breakout game for the rookie, who will receive more volume if Kmet misses time with a concussion. 4. DeMario Douglas (WR – NE) Douglas had 100 yards and 1 touchdown versus the Falcons. Will play a significant role in offense if Boutte misses any time with a hamstring injury. 5. Kareem Hunt (RB – KC) Posted another solid fantasy game with 49 yards and 1 touchdown. His ability to get in the end zone keeps him a relevant option in fantasy football. 6. Joe Flacco (QB – CIN) Continues to put up numbers with the Bengals. Had a monster game with 397 yards and 4 touchdowns versus the Bears in Week 9. 7. Troy Franklin (WR – DEN) Franklin had 10 targets in Week 9, giving him 28 targets over the last three weeks. Target him on the waiver wire if you need WR depth. 8. Devin Singletary (RB – NYG) Tyrone Tracy was not impressive and sustained an injury that he was later able to come back from, but in a desperation move, you could do worse. Week 10 Byes: CIN, DAL, KC, TEN
FullTime Fantasy: Week 8 Injury Report & Week 9 Waiver Radar

Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Devin Singletary will be elevated in the running back depth chart. Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI) After finally breaking out in Week 8, Barkley left the game with a groin injury. The most recent report on his injury is positive so it looks like Barkley might not miss any time. Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE) Judkins left Week 8 in the third quarter with a shoulder injury. His current status is uncertain, and if he misses any time, Dylan Sampson and Jerome Ford will see an increase in volume. Lamar Jackson (QB – BAL) Missed his third consecutive game with a hamstring injury. The Ravens are hopeful that Jackson will return in their Week 9 matchup versus the Dolphins. Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS) Ruled out for Monday night’s contest versus the Kansas City Chiefs. His status is uncertain for Week 9, and Marcus Mariota will be under center during his absence. Bucky Irving (RB – TB) Missed his fourth game in a row with foot and shoulder injuries. The Buccaneers have a Week 9 bye, and the team is hopeful that Irving can return in Week 10. Bryce Young (QB – CAR) Missed Week 8 with an ankle injury. The injury update is optimistic, and the Panthers hope that Young is good to go for Week 9. Brock Bowers (TE – LV) Had a Week 8 bye as he continues to heal from knee injury. The Raiders are expecting Bowers to return in Week 9 versus the Jaguars. Week 9 Waiver Wire Radar 1. Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG) Tracy Jr. will take over as the lead running back in the Giants’ offense after Cam Skattebo has been ruled out for the rest of the season. He should be the priority pickup of the week in your fantasy football league. 2. Tyjae Spears (RB – TEN) Spears had a strong week with 82 scrimmage yards and a touchdown. He should continue to see more volume in the backfield for the Titans. 3. Kayshon Boutte (WR – NE) Boutte continues to post with 75 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 8. He should continue to get targets as a big-play receiver in the New England offense. 4. Chimere Dike (WR – TEN) Dike had 7 catches for 93 yards in Week 8. He looks like the WR1 in the Titans’ offense during the absence of Calvin Ridley. 5. Troy Franklin (WR – DEN) Franklin was the featured receiver in Week 8, putting up 6 catches, 89 yards, and 2 touchdowns. Franklin has 18 targets over the last two weeks and projects for a solid role in the Broncos’ offense moving forward. 6. Sam Darnold (QB – SEA) Darnold has been a solid fantasy QB all year, and he draws a favorable matchup versus the Commanders in Week 9. Pick him up on the waiver wire if you need a spot start or QB depth on your fantasy team. 7. Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX) Lawrence has put on a solid fantasy performance three weeks in a row. He prepares to face the Raiders in Week 9, giving him one of the best matchups of the week. Speculative Adds: Dylan Sampson, Browns – Judkins is injured and on bye so he should be good to go, but you never know. Isiah Davis – Jets are also on bye, but he has flashed well and trade deadline on Breece is looming. Trey Benson – Could be out there in your league and should get the starting job back. Tank Bigsby (17% rostered) is on bye this week, but should be stashed in most leagues in case Saquon Barkley’s groin injury remains an issue as we head into week 10. Jayden Reed – Sorry, his timeline is looking like week 11, but don’t forget about him. Same for Joe Burrow. Late in the season expected return. Week 9 Byes: CLE, NYJ, PHI, TB
