Fantasy Football Injury Reports for Tight Ends: Week 14 - Updates for Tyler Higbee, Dallas Goedert, Dalton Kincaid, Jake Ferguson

Tyler Higbee - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire Pickups

Fantasy football injury updates and injury reports for tight ends (Week 14) as of 12/7/2024, including Dallas Goedert, Dalton Kincaid, Jake Ferguson, Tyler Higbee.

After the Lions defeated the Packers in the Thursday night, NFC North showdown, Week 14 rolls on. As usual, there are more than a few tight ends appearing on the injury report, many of which won’t be on the field.  

Being up-to-date on NFL injury news can give you an edge over your league mates in fantasy football. Now that the regular season has been in full swing, fantasy managers should stay locked into the latest injury headlines.

To keep close tabs on all the news across the NFL, favorite or bookmark the fantasy football player news page, or download the free RotoBaller fantasy football mobile app with push notification alerts on all the latest news.

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

 

Jake Ferguson Injury Update

Ferguson suffered a concussion against the Texans back in Week 11. As a result, he hasn’t been on the field for the Cowboys’ previous two games.

But the 25-year-old practiced in full in the last two days, meaning he will likely be available for Monday Night Football versus the Bengals. Ferguson finished last season with five touchdowns.

Yet, he doesn’t have any during the 2024-25 campaign. With that in mind, the Bengals’ defense has struggled against opposing tight ends this season, so Ferguson has a great opportunity to finally get into the end zone.

Of course, if Ferguson is cleared, Luke Schoonmaker, who had 14 catches and a touchdown in the last three games, won’t be a safe fantasy option. 

 

Dallas Goedert Injury Update

As expected, Goedert won’t play on Sunday versus the Panthers. Although he’s considered “week-to-week,” fantasy managers may not see him back on the field for a while.

Without him, Grant Calcaterra will presumably move to the top of the depth chart. The 2022 No. 198 overall pick has only 17 receptions this season.

However, he has a place in any fantasy lineup versus a Carolina defense that’s arguably the worst in the National Football League. 

 

Tyler Higbee Injury Update

Higbee is ramping things up after injuring his ACL and MCL in January. Unfortunately, fantasy managers won’t see him suit up in Week 14 versus Buffalo.

On a positive note, there’s a good chance he may return when the Rams head to San Francisco for Thursday Night Football in Week 15. For now, Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen will continue to handle things at the tight end spot.

Still, neither man is worth much from a fantasy standpoint, especially with Cooper Kupp, Puka Nacua, and Kyren Williams on the field.  

 

Dalton Kincaid Injury Update

The Bills have been on a roll. However, the team may be forced to continue to operate without Kincaid, who has missed the last two games and currently carries a questionable tag for Sunday’s game versus the Los Angeles Chargers.

Without question, he hasn’t met expectations. But it's tough to justify keeping Kincaid on the bench, considering Josh Allen has had an MVP-caliber season. If he isn’t out there, Dawson Knox, amassing two grabs for 56 yards in the Week 13 win over the 49ers, is worth streaming.  

 

Juwan Johnson Injury Update

Johnson has been limited at practice all week. Fortunately, he doesn’t carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday’s matchup with the New York Giants.

The former Oregon Duck has 30 catches for 313 yards and two touchdowns this season. But with Taysom Hill done for the remainder of the year, he has a chance to get more attention from Derek Carr.

Granted, Foster Moreau, who is also off the injury report, is in the equation. Yet, Johnson is a much safer option, even though he hasn’t logged as many snaps as Moreau.
