Welcome to Week 13 of the fantasy football season and the Saturday edition of our WR injury reports! Below you will find our fantasy football injuries report for wide receivers in Week 13, as of December 3rd. The injury statuses for various NFL wide receivers are up in the air for Week 13, including Deebo Samuel, Ja'Marr Chase, Mike Williams, Courtland Sutton, and Zay Jones.

There are some big names on the injury report, with some already being ruled out for Week 13, so knowing exactly where each player stands going into the weekend is crucial. Being up-to-date on NFL injury news can give you an edge over your league mates in fantasy football.

Let's look at the updates for some wide receivers and see whether they may play in Week 13.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2025:

 

Deebo Samuel Injury Update

Deebo Samuel was put on the injury report due to a quad issue Thursday and was held out of practice. The 26-year-old did participate in a limited fashion on Friday and enters the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan admitted to the press that Samuel did not do much on Friday, and they were expecting him to be a full participant rather than limited. It leaves Samuel on the wrong side of questionable, and fantasy managers must prepare to be without him. Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle should see a target boost if Samuel is inactive.

 

Ja'Marr Chase Injury Update

Ja'Marr Chase has been out of action since Week 8 due to a hip injury. The 22-year-old was questionable last week, but the team decided to rest him in hopes he will play in Week 13. After a week of limited practice participation, Chase was officially labeled as questionable for Sunday's game against Kansas City.

Head coach Zac Taylor said he is "optimistic" about Chase playing Sunday, and after a full week of limited work, he has a good chance to do so. There is a chance the Bengals limit his reps, so keep that in mind, but Chase should be started in all leagues if active.

 

Mike Williams Injury Update

Mike Williams has been out of action since re-aggravating his ankle injury in Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 28-year-old has not returned to the practice field since and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday.

Fantasy managers will need to continue to plan around Williams, as he does not seem close to a return. Joshua Palmer will continue to see an increase in targets as long as Williams is out and is a great FLEX option this week against the Raiders.

 

Courtland Sutton Injury Update

Courtland Sutton is dealing with a stomach bug, explaining his surprise questionable tag heading into Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens after practicing this past week.

There seems to be an illness going around the entire league at the moment, but there is no reason to believe Sutton will not suit up on Sunday unless reported otherwise this weekend. The No. 1 target for Russell Wilson is a solid WR2 this week against Baltimore.

 

Zay Jones Injury Update

Zay Jones has been a limited participant in practice this week due to a chest injury. The 27-year-old does not seem to be in danger of missing Sunday's game against Detroit but was officially labeled as questionable on Friday.

Jones is coming off his best fantasy performance of the season, hauling in 11 receptions for 145 yards, and has a plus matchup against Detroit this weekend. If active, Jones should be considered a high-end FLEX option.

 

Brandin Cooks Injury Update

Brandin Cooks has been on the injury report for weeks with a wrist injury but was listed with a calf injury this past Thursday. The 29-year-old was able to remain limited in practice but was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cleveland Browns on Friday.

Cooks has no interest in playing for Houston anymore, so picking up a new injury late in the week and having no time to rest has lent to him taking the week off. Nico Collins will operate as the No. 1 target for Houston and now has FLEX appeal due simply to his potential workload.

 

Darius Slayton Injury Update

Darius Slayton is dealing with an illness that limited him in practice this week. The 25-year-old missed practice entirely on Thursday and Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders.

Slayton has his locker set up next to tight end Daniel Bellinger, who was dealing with an illness. The Giants desperately need Slayton, as their wide receiver depth is shallow, but he is a true 50/50 shot to play this week. Richie James (knee) would see the biggest target increase in his absence, but he is also questionable. Slayton is a solid FLEX option if active.

 

Kadarius Toney Injury Update

Kadarius Toney re-aggravated his hamstring injury in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 23-year-old has been labeled "day-to-day" but has yet to return to practice. He was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals on Friday.

JuJu Smith-Schuster and Marquez Valdes-Scantling are healthy and will operate as the top two receivers for Kansas City this week. Skyy Moore should see the largest boost in targets with Toney out again in Week 13 and has FLEX appeal in a potential shootout with Cincinnati.

 

Romeo Doubs Injury Update

Romeo Doubs has been out of action since Week 10 due to an ankle injury he suffered the week prior. The rookie returned to the practice field for the first time this week since suffering the injury and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago.

Fellow rookie Christian Watson has emerged as a top target for Green Bay in Doubs' absence. There is also a chance the 22-year-old is limited in his return, but his inclusion in the offense brings down the potential target share for teammates Allen Lazard and Robert Tonyan. Doubs may be too tough to trust this week, but he could have FLEX appeal moving forward if he can take over as the No. 2 option.

 

Jerry Jeudy Injury Update

Jerry Jeudy has been out since Week 10 when he suffered an ankle injury against the Tennessee Titans. After missing the first two practices of the week, the 23-year-old returned in a limited fashion Friday and has a chance to play this weekend. He is officially listed as questionable.

Getting Jeudy back would be a big boost for a Broncos offense that has struggled mightily. The matchup against Baltimore is solid for fantasy wide receivers, but there is a chance Jeudy could be on a limited snap count in his return. Consider the third-year receiver a low-end FLEX option if he is able to suit up.

 

Michael Gallup Injury Update

Michael Gallup has been held out of practice this week due to an illness. There is optimism surrounding his play status for this week's game against the Colts, but the team officially listed him as questionable for Sunday on Friday.

Head coach Mike McCarthy said he is "confident" Gallup will suit up for Sunday's game during his Friday press conference. With Colts starting cornerback Kenny Moore (shin) out again this week, the Dallas wide receivers could be in for good production. Gallup is in FLEX consideration this week if active.

 

Richie James Injury Update

Richie James missed Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury but has put in two limited sessions since then. The 27-year-old was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington on Friday.

The Giants' wide receiver corps is one of the most banged up in the league right now. No. 1 wide receiver Darius Slayton (illness) has a 50/50 shot at playing, meaning James should see a solid target share if healthy come Sunday. He is a WR4/5 this week with FLEX appeal, especially if Slayton misses the game against the Commanders.

 

KJ Hamler Injury Update

KJ Hamler has missed the past four weeks due to a hamstring injury. It was reported Thursday that the 23-year-old suffered a setback and is out indefinitely. He was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against Baltimore on Friday.

Hamler can safely be dumped to the waiver wire in redraft leagues if anyone is holding onto him. Kendall Hinton will continue to operate as the No. 3 wide receiver for the remainder of the season.
