Injuries continued to pile up across the league this week, leaving several teams with major questions heading into the stretch run. A handful of key offensive players suffered significant setbacks, including multiple likely season-ending injuries. With fantasy playoffs underway, these developments carry major implications and will force managers to adjust quickly.
Key: Position Player, Team | Injury | Projected Return to Play
QB Daniel Jones, Indianapolis | Achilles | Likely Season-Ending
Daniel Jones had been battling a fibula fracture entering Week 14, and when he went down with a non-contact injury, there was immediate concern that he may have aggravated the issue. Unfortunately, the Colts later diagnosed Jones with an Achilles injury, and early indications are that it is season-ending.

RB De'Von Achane, Miami | Rib | Projecting Active Week 15
De’Von Achane exited Sunday’s game with a rib injury, but his absence appeared to be largely precautionary. Post-game reports from Miami indicated that Achane could have returned if needed, but the team chose to hold him out. Given that level of optimism, Achane is trending toward being active for Week 15, barring any unexpected setbacks.
