With wide receivers being some of the most impactful players on your fantasy football roster, you want to make sure to have the most up to date injury information so you can make the proper adjustments with our Week 14 WR fantasy injury report and updates. Fantasy managers could be without wide receivers such as DeAndre Hopkins, Keke Coutee, Brandin Cooks, D.J. Moore, Tee Higgins, and Julio Jones in Week 14.
Who are the most notable fantasy WR injury updates to have on your radar for Week 14?
Keeping your fantasy football team up to date is crucial for success during the fantasy football playoffs. Some of the most notable wide receivers on the fantasy injury report for Week 14 include DeAndre Hopkins, Keke Coutee, Brandin Cooks, D.J. Moore, Tee Higgins, Julio Jones, and Kenny Golladay. Below is information regarding their Week 14 fantasy injury report and status, along with additional wide receivers around the league — those of which are sorted by conference.
DeAndre Hopkins is expected to play, despite having a neck injury
Sunday, December 13th: DeAndre Hopkins is active for the Arizona Cardinals Week 14 matchup.
The Arizona Cardinals’ star receiver, DeAndre Hopkins, is dealing with a light neck and back injury and is listed as questionable for his Week 14 matchup against the New York Giants. Hopkins caught eight passes against the Rams in Week 13, recording 52 yards and one touchdown.

While Hopkins is listed as questionable on the injury report, Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury has stated that he expects Hopkins to play against the Giants. Losing DeAndre Hopkins would deal a big blow to fantasy managers and a Cardinals’ offense that has had its fair share of issues over the last few weeks. Hopkins has only gone over 100 yards once in the last five games, in the game against Buffalo. If DeAndre Hopkins is able to go against the Giants, expect him to still get a healthy dose of targets and fire him up in your fantasy lineups as usual.
Keke Coutee remains questionable with a knee injury, but will likely play
Sunday, December 13th: Keke Coutee is active for the Houston Texans Week 14 matchup.
Dealing with a knee injury, Texans’ receiver Keke Coutee remains questionable for fantasy managers heading into Houston’s Week 14 game against Chicago. However, Coutee was a full participant late in the week and should be able to play in Week 14.
With Chicago’s secondary struggling to stop opposing receivers, Coutee should be able to see a high number of targets. Against the Colts in Week 13, Coutee made the most of his time on the field. Coutee was targeted nine times and came away with his first 100-yard receiving game of the season on eight catches. Keke Coutee should be a top option in your fantasy lineup.
Brandin Cooks should also play in Week 14 despite being questionable
Sunday, December 13th: Brandin Cooks is inactive for the Houston Texans Week 14 matchup.
Texans’ receiver Brandin Cooks is another regular name on WR fantasy injury reports and he remains questionable for Week 14. Cooks should also play, though, considering he was a full participant in practice for three straight games. Cooks had a scare in Week 13 after dealing with a concussion but was also listed on the injury report with knee and neck injuries. Much like Coutee, Cooks should be a big target against Chicago’s defense.
D.J. Moore unlikely to play in Week 14 against Denver
With a key matchup coming against the Denver Broncos in Week 14, the Carolina Panthers will likely be without one of their top receiving options. D.J. Moore was put on the reserve list after testing positive and will not be taken off the list in time to play against the Broncos. Moore was also dealing with an ankle injury after Week 12, but that injury has healed during the bye week. Without Moore, the Panthers will turn to Robby Anderson and Curtis Samuel to keep the offense moving against a Broncos defense that is dealing with a lot of injuries in their secondary.
Will Tee Higgins play in Week 14 against Dallas?
Sunday, December 13th: Tee Higgins is active for the Cincinnati Bengals Week 14 matchup.
After suffering a hamstring injury in Week 13, Bengals’ wide receiver Tee Higgins remains questionable for their Week 14 matchup against the Cowboys. While Higgins has been a limited participant in practice during the week, he is still expected to play. The Cowboys secondary has suffered against the pass this season and the Bengals have the opportunity to knock off “America’s Team.” Higgins should be a decent flex option against Dallas and should continue to see a steady amount of targets, as he has all season.
Julio Jones will not play in Week 14
The Falcons will be without their star wide receiver in Week 14 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Julio Jones, who has been a regular name on the WR fantasy injury report, reaggravated a hamstring injury that has kept him on the sidelines at times this season.
It’s been noticeable this season when Jones is out, as the Falcons’ offense struggles immensely without him on the field. With Calvin Ridley’s struggles, the Falcons’ offense will likely have a tough time in Week 14, even against a Chargers’ defense that has been extremely up and down this season. This may not be the best week to play Falcons offensive players in your fantasy lineup.
