Baker Mayfield, Greg Olsen and Darrel Williams were among those injured Sunday during Week 13 of the NFL season.

Here’s a recap of the injuries to players across the league and how it could impact fantasy football:

Baker Mayfield, QB, Cleveland Browns (hand)

Mayfield had X-rays on his throwing hand after taking a hit from Steelers linebacker Bud Dupree with seconds remaining in the first half. Backup quarterback Garrett Gilbert stepped in for a few plays, but Mayfield returned after halftime.

It did appear that the injury affected his play in the second half. After a hot start in which he completed 10 of 12 passes, he completed eight of 20 attempts in the second half and had one fumble and an interception. While it is unclear how serious the injury is, it is a good sign for Mayfield’s health that he was able to finish the game.

Greg Olsen, TE, Carolina Panthers (concussion)

Olsen suffered a helmet-to-helmet hit during the third quarter of the Panthers-Redskins game. He was taken to the sideline injury tent and did not return. He caught all three targets on the day for 22 yards.

Ian Thomas is the Panthers’ backup tight end. He reeled in four passes for 24 yards during Sunday’s loss.

Darrel Williams, RB, Kansas City Chiefs (hamstring)

Williams exited Sunday’s game against the Raiders with a hamstring injury he sustained during the second half. His role had expanded with lead back Damien Williams out recovering from a ribs injury. He finished the day with six rushes for 13 yards and a 3-yard touchdown catch on the Chiefs’ first possession of the game.

Darwin Thompson replaced Williams and picked up 44 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries. Thompson would be worth rostering if both Williams are out in Week 14.

Kalen Ballage, RB, Miami Dolphins (leg)

Ballage had to be carted off the field during the first half of Miami’s 37-31 shootout win over the Eagles. It was a non-contact injury, which could be season-ending. He had three attempts for zero yards prior to the injury.

Patrick Laird and Myles Gaskin are next up in the backfield for Miami. Laird had 10 rushing attempts for five yards and a touchdown and also caught four of five targets for 43 yards, and could be an add in a very deep league if you are desperate. Gaskin rushed for 20 yards on two attempts and caught a pass for six yards.

Chester Rogers, WR, Indianapolis Colts (knee)

Rogers exited Sunday’s game early with a knee injury and did not return. With T.Y. Hilton (calf) and Parris Campbell (hand) sidelined for this game, the Colts had Zach Pascal, Marcus Johnson and Ashton Dulin available at receiver.

It is unclear how serious Rodgers’ injury is, though it is not a good sign he was ruled out for return. Pascal will likely be the main target for quarterback Jacoby Brissett. He caught seven of 10 passes for 109 yards in Week 13, but is too inconsistent to be a fantasy play. Johnson caught four of six targets for 55 yards and Dulin caught his only target on the day for 13 yards.
