Welcome to Week 12 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 12, as of November 25. The injury statuses for various NFL wide receivers are up in the air for Week 12, including Tee Higgins, Justin Jefferson, Marquise Brown, Zay Flowers, and Noah Brown.

There are some big names on the injury report, with the status of some coming down to game-time decisions or already being ruled out.

Let's look at the updates for some wide receivers and see whether they may play in Week 12.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy football rankings for 2024:

 

Tee Higgins Injury Update

Tee Higgins has been out since Week 10 due to a hamstring injury. The 24-year-old has not been able to return to practice since and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers by Cincinnati on Friday.

With Joe Burrow (wrist) now out for the remainder of the season, it would not be a shock to see the Bengals take the long-term approach to Higgins' recovery. Ja'Marr Chase will continue to be the top target for backup quarterback Jake Browning while Tyler Boyd and Trenton Irwin will fight for the rest of the targets. Sunday's matchup against Pittsburgh is a good one for wide receivers, so Boyd and Irwin have flex appeal even with Browning under center.

 

Justin Jefferson Injury Update

Justin Jefferson has been working his way back from a hamstring injury that he suffered back in Week 5. While the star receiver has been limited over the past few weeks in practice, he and the team have stated they will not put him back onto the field until he is 100%. With the Vikings playing Monday night, Jefferson will not have an official injury designation until Saturday afternoon.

Jefferson is very close to a return, but with the game being on Monday night, he will be tough to trust, especially if he is listed as questionable. The only real pivot option would be K.J. Osborn if he is on the waiver wire, but fantasy managers may have better options to play Sunday. Keep an eye on injury reports on Saturday to get a feel for whether Jefferson has a shot to suit up. If active, he will be a top-five option immediately against the Chicago secondary.

 

Marquise Brown Injury Update

Marquise Brown popped up on this week's injury report with a heel injury, and it left him limited on Wednesday. However, the 26-year-old has sat out of practice ever since and is in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game against the Rams. Arizona listed their top receiver as questionable for the game on Friday.

Being downgraded in the middle of the week is never a good sign, but not suiting up in any capacity in the final practice of the week is even worse. The Cardinals are already without rookie Michael Wilson (shoulder), so if Brown misses, expect a heavy dose of Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch, and tight end Trey McBride.

 

Zay Flowers Injury Update

Zay Flowers was listed as a limited participant in practice on Wednesday due to a hip injury and then sat out of Thursday's practice. However, the rookie put in a full practice on Friday and will look to suit up Sunday against the Chargers. Baltimore listed the 23-year-old as questionable on Friday.

With Baltimore set to go on bye in Week 13, there is always the chance that the Ravens play it safe and sit Flowers out against Los Angeles. With that said, with Mark Andrews (ankle) already missing, this offense will need all the help it can get in the passing game. If active, consider Flowers a fringe WR2 against a soft Chargers pass defense.

 

Noah Brown Injury Update

Noah Brown missed last week's game against Arizona due to a knee injury that he suffered in Week 10. The 27-year-old has not been able to participate in practice since and Houston ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday.

Brown was on a tear before going down with the injury, but the offense will carry on and spread the targets elsewhere. Nico Collins and Tank Dell remain near lineup locks with quarterback C.J. Stroud at the helm. With no practice participation in two weeks, fantasy managers should expect to remain without the veteran receiver until further notice.

 

Odell Beckham Jr. Injury Update

Odell Beckham Jr. has been battling injuries throughout the regular season, with his latest shoulder injury being suffered late in last week's win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The veteran missed the first practice of the week but then upgraded to a limited session on Thursday and ended the week as a full participant. The Ravens listed him as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers on Friday.

Beckham said himself that he would be "a game-time decision" and would be at less than 100% if active. With that said, the veteran had his best fantasy performance last week with Mark Andrews (ankle) leaving the game early and could be relied upon more heavily moving forward. If active, consider OBJ a flex option this week against Los Angeles.

 

Zay Jones Injury Update

Zay Jones returned to the field for the first time last week since Week 5 due to a knee injury. The 28-year-old has remained limited in practice this week, likely by design, and was officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans by Jacksonville on Friday.

Jones did not make a massive fantasy impact in his return last week, but was a major boost for fellow receiver Calvin Ridley. When Jones is on the field, the offense is able to operate at its full potential and get Ridley open more often. Since Jones was able to suit up last week, he should be on track to play again in Week 12, but keep an eye on reports game day morning just in case. He is a high-risk flex option against Houston.

 

Michael Wilson Injury Update

Michael Wilson missed last week's matchup against the Houston Texans due to a shoulder injury. The rookie has yet to return to practice since suffering the injury and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams by Arizona on Friday.

With Marquise Brown's (heel) status also up in the air after missing the final two practices of the week, the Cardinals will need to look to the reserves on the depth chart to take the lead in the passing attack. Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch should be the No. 1 and No. 2 options for quarterback Kyler Murray with tight end Trey McBride seeing an increase in targets as well. Wilson could miss another week unless he finds his way onto the practice field early in the week.

 

Mecole Hardman Jr. Injury Update

Mecole Hardman Jr. suffered a thumb injury during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. The 25-year-old has not participated in practice all week and was officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Las Vegas Raiders by the Chiefs on Friday.

Hardman was starting to get more involved since being traded from the New York Jets back to the team that drafted him, but the struggling Kansas City passing attack will need to try to produce without him in Week 12. Rashee Rice remains the only flex-worthy wide receiver for the Chiefs at the moment.

 

Darius Slayton Injury Update

Darius Slayton suffered a neck injury in Week 11 during the team's win over the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old was able to put in two limited practice sessions this past week, but was officially listed as doubtful by the Giants for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots on Friday.

Slayton has been the most involved receiver for the Giants in terms of snap share this season but has been little more than a WR4/5 in deep leagues. His absence will clear the way for rookie Jalin Hyatt to see more reps as the top outside receiver. However, the rookie will not be a recommended fantasy option, even against the lowly Patriots.

 

DeVante Parker Injury Update

DeVante Parker has been out since Week 9 due to a concussion that he suffered against the Miami Dolphins the week prior. The veteran finally made his way back to the practice field in a limited fashion this week and was officially listed as questionable by New England for Sunday's game against the Giants on Friday.

The Patriots' passing attack has been abysmal for weeks, making Parker an easy fade in fantasy if active. However, if Parker suits up, it could mean fewer targets for rookie Demario Douglas, who has been the only fantasy-relevant receiver in New England recently. Douglas will remain flex-worthy regardless, but keep in mind that he could see a lower target share if Parker returns to the lineup.

 

Treylon Burks Injury Update

Treylon Burks has been out since Week 10 due to a concussion that he suffered in Week 9 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The second-year receiver has yet to return to the practice field, and Tennessee officially ruled him out for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers on Friday.

With the Titans essentially out of playoff contention, it is tough to imagine seeing Burks return anytime soon, considering he has not even returned to the practice field. He remains a hold in dynasty but should not be on fantasy rosters in redraft leagues. DeAndre Hopkins and Kyle Philips remain the top two wide receivers for Tennessee.
