Week 2 Fantasy Football Injury Report
TBD. Lean towards playing, with data rating this a 75% chance as well. These don’t tend to drop pass catching TE’s performance, but do carry re-injury risks as high as 15% at this time point post-injury.
Likely playing Week 2. WRs with Jeudy’s profile average a 15% explosiveness dip upon initial return that recovers fully by ~2 weeks. The key with these moderate severity hamstring strains is re-injury risk, which is 20% initially and projects to taper off over the next 6 weeks.
TBD. Lean towards sitting. While Hopkins has a history of not practicing during the week but still playing that Sunday, data suggests that outcome is relatively unlikely here. His injury mechanism by video appeared to be a high ankle, and combining that with his age and practice participation rates him a 70% chance of sitting. Lean towards return Week 3-4.
TBD. Lean towards sitting Week 2. Good news here is that his practice progression gives Watson a 60% chance of returning Week 3. That will of course be updated and more accurate following next week’s practice progression. Upon return, mild performance impact but moderate re-injury risk is expected.
