Fantasy Football Week 13 Injury Report: Herbie Half Loaded

The 2025 NFL Week 12 brought us a few injuries that will impact our fantasy teams. I will continue to update the injury tracker and post any updates as team reports come out. Be sure to bookmark the 4for4 2025 Injury Tracker for continuous weekly updates.

Justin Herbert, QB Los Angeles Chargers

Injury: Left Hand Fracture

Projected Timetable: Week 14-16

Initial Thoughts:

Herbert will be undergoing surgery on Monday after fracturing his left hand. The good news is that it isn't his throwing hand, but we do not know yet how much time he will miss, if any. He could wind up starting week 14 with the offense operating out of shotgun or pistol more, similar to Aaron Rodgers' situation with his left wrist fracture. Monitor for news on estimated time missed as the week goes on.

Woody Marks, RB Houston Texans

Injury: Foot/Ankle Sprain

Projected Timetable: Returned

Initial Thoughts:

Marks went to the locker room to have his foot or ankle evaluated, but was able to return to the game. Occasionally, these injuries wind up flaring up post-game and leading to missed time, but I do not think this one will fall into that category. Nonetheless, I will list it here just in case, to be disregarded when he is practicing on Wednesday.

Kyren Williams, RB Los Angeles Rams

Injury: Ankle Sprain

Projected Timetable: Returned

Initial Thoughts:

Williams is in a similar category as Marks here, as he suffered an ankle injury but was able to return to the game and finish without complications. Monitor his status as the week goes on, but he will likely play week 14 without issue.

Aaron Jones, RB Minnesota Vikings

Injury: Left Shoulder

Projected Timetable: Week 14-16

Initial Thoughts:

Jones suffered a reinjury of his prior shoulder injury, likely an AC sprain, after getting tackled from behind and landing hard on his side. He was in visible pain and eventually forced into the medical tent by the medical staff. Monitor for intel as the week goes on, but considering it is a reinjury this may lead to some missed time. If mild, then he can probably play week 14 with some reinjury risk.

Dylan Sampson, RB Cleveland Browns

Injury: Calf Strain

Projected Timetable: Week 15-17

Initial Thoughts:

Average missed time can be anywhere from 1-5 weeks depending on severity of the strain. He has been a very explosive option out of the backfield on his few opportunities, but if he were to miss time then Jerome Ford will likely get a few extra touches behind Quinshon Judkins.

Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR Detroit Lions

Injury: Low Ankle Sprain

Projected Timetable: Week 14-16

Initial Thoughts:

Thankfully this is just a low ankle sprain that should only cost him 1-2 weeks in best case scenario, meaning there is a very good chance he is back producing with minimal production dip in the first round of fantasy playoffs. Prepare backup options into week 15 just in case, but the initial reports have been very good.

Marvin Harrison Jr, WR Arizona Cardinals

Injury: Heel Injury

Projected Timetable: Week 14-15

Initial Thoughts:

He was able to return to the game after the medical staff placed a foam insert into his cleat, but was limping and in visible pain with difficulty running through his routes. These typically lead to production dips if the player attempts to play through the injury. If they miss time, on average wide receivers have been able to miss close to 1 week and then returning to decent production upon return. If he misses week 14, Michael Wilson likely sees a bump to his production again.

Parker Washington, WR Jacksonville Jaguars

Injury: Hip Injury

Projected Timetable: TBD

Initial Thoughts:

Hip injuries for wide receivers tend to cost several weeks and lead to big production dips. The team has not indicated severity of his injury so it is hard to know when he will return, but as long as he is out then Jakobi Meyers and Brenton Strange should see a solid utilization bump.

Xavier Restrepo, WR Tennessee Titans

Injury: Right Ankle

Projected Timetable: TBD

Initial Thoughts:

Suspecting high ankle sprain with possible fracture. He was carted off of the field and ruled out. I am not anticipating good news.
