Fantasy Football NFL Week 16 Injury Report & Outlook (2023)

Fantasy playoff season is here, which means the injuries matter more than ever. As always, maintain your advantage at sportsmedanalytics.com and hit us up on Twitter/X @SportMDAnalysis and @FantasyPros with any lingering questions.

Week 16 Fantasy Football Injury Report

Tyreek Hill

TBD. Data slightly favors playing at 55%. Most players would sit following a high ankle, but Hill has an aggressive history about playing through injury. Data favors a mild production hit, but that would still leave him easily in the WR1 category. The real concern is high re-injury risk if active.

Ja’Marr Chase

He’s out Week 16, but data does favor returning Week 17 near full production.

Jonathan Taylor

Likely playing, and likely near full production levels. Mild concern for re-injury if he takes a hit to the thumb.

Trevor Lawrence

TBD. Will find out about clearing concussion protocol Saturday. We’d lean slightly towards him clearing based on his progress so far.

Kenneth Walker

Data projects 2/3 chance to play. Given strength of Charbonnet, wouldn’t be surprising if Walker sees load management if the score isn’t close.

De’Von Achane

Prior limited workloads were likely related to injury. Data projects an increase in his touches Week 16 onwards.

CJ Stroud

Data favors return Week 17, but these multi-week concussion can become unpredictable quickly (statistically they carry high variance).

Nico Collins

Data projects 70% chance to play with only mild production impact (~10%). The real concern is high re-injury risk given that this was already a re-aggravation to begin with.

Christian Watson

Likely out. Data slightly favors Week 17 return, but he will have a high re-injury risk whenever he does come back.

Jayden Reed

Average timeline is 2 weeks out. Data therefore slightly favors missing Week 17 and returning Week 18 with a 15% performance dip.

Dontayvion Wicks

Data projects 70% chance to play and low injury impact if active.

Josh Jacobs

Data favors 2/3 chance to play. RB quad production impact tends to be low, but the concern is 15-20% re-injury risk if active.

DeVonta Smith

Data currently projects 40% chance to play. If he misses Saturday practice, that goes down to 25%.
