Fantasy Football Injury Reports: Championship Weekend Updates For Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Zach Ertz, Dalton Kincaid

Patrick Mahomes - Fantasy Football Rankings, DFS Lineup Picks, NFL Injury News

Fantasy football injury updates and injury reports for QB, RB, WR, TE for Championship Weekend (2024-25), as of 1/25/25, including Patrick Mahomes, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, and Dalton Kincaid.

Thirty-two entered, and four currently stand. We're into the endgame for the NFL season with only three games remaining to decide the Super Bowl LIX champion.

DFS managers are facing a very small range of available players, albeit with some injury reports to monitor in the cases of Jalen Hurts, Patrick Mahomes, Zach Ertz, and Dalton Kincaid.

For further updates as games approach, the RotoBaller fantasy football mobile app is free, as is booking the fantasy football player news page. This is the latest as of Saturday, January 25.

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

 

Jalen Hurts Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts (knee) does not carry an injury designation into the NFC Championship Game but said Friday that he plans to wear a brace during the game.

The admission is interesting, especially given how important the quarterback is to the Eagles running game. For what it's worth, he practiced in full back-to-back days to end the week, but his effectiveness with the brace is going to be the question on Sunday.

 

Patrick Mahomes Injury Update

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes (ankle) is not listed on the team's final injury report before the AFC Championship Game.

The star quarterback, who has qualified for the conference championship game seven years in a row, was always going to play. He practiced in full three times this week, so it should be business as usual.

 

Zach Ertz Injury Update

The Washington Commanders did not give a designation to tight end Zach Ertz (rib) before they will visit Philadelphia on Sunday.

The former Eagles star had back-to-back full practices on Thursday and Friday, cementing that he will continue to be a key target within the Washington offense.

 

Dallas Goedert Injury Update

Tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) of the Philadelphia Eagles is not listed on the team's final injury report of the week.

The veteran did not practice either Wednesday or Thursday but was reported as a full participant on Friday. That, along with the lack of a designation, is a good sign he'll give it a go against Washington.

 

A.J. Brown Injury Update

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (knee) does not have an injury designation before the NFC title game against Washington.

The star receiver has been banged up this season but has appeared in every game since Week 6, except a game off in Week 18 with Philly locked in as the No. 2 seed. He should be good to go once again this week.

 

Olamide Zaccheaus Injury Update

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus (hip) does not carry a designation into the NFC Championship Game, according to the team's final injury report.

Zaccheaus has only five targets and three catches in two playoff games, but he caught three touchdowns in the final three weeks of the regular season as one of the Commanders' secondary receiving options.

 

Dalton Kincaid Injury Update

Buffalo Bills tight end Dalton Kincaid (knee) will not carry an injury designation into the AFC Championship Game, according to Buffalo's final injury report.

Kincaid logged three full practices this week, so it's all systems go for the second-year tight end. Through two playoff games, he's recorded four catches on six targets for 61 yards.

 

Jeff Driskel Injury Update

Washington Commanders quarterback Jeff Driskel (illness) received a questionable tag for the NFC Championship Game.

Jayden Daniels obviously will continue to start at quarterback with Marcus Mariota serving as the backup, but Driskel has regularly been the Commanders' emergency quarterback, so the team will need to explore other options if Driskel can't play. Former Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman, currently on the team's practice squad, is the most logical fill-in.
