Week 13 Fantasy Football Injury Report
Data projects 75% chance of playing. Young RBs don’t typically see their efficiency or workloads dip when playing through hamstring strains if they’ve logged a full practice during the week (as he has).
Average timeline on these surgeries has been 5 weeks, so the 2 week reported timeline is extremely aggressive. Avoiding IR, however, suggests that Week 16 is his most likely target return date.
Data projects 2/3 chance of playing. RBs tend to play at full per-touch efficiency, but average fewer touches than normal when playing through rib contusions.
Data projects 60% chance of playing but with a 15% production hit on average for WRs playing through quad contusions. Re-injury risk is relatively low.
Data projects 2/3 chance of playing. Mild performance hit projected, but the bigger concern is the re-injury risk of up to 15-20% for these calf strains.
Week 12 video suggested a new injury to his other ankle, but he practiced fully all week, which suggests that it was more minor than video appeared. Data favors full pre-injury production as a result.
Likely playing. Data favors return to pre-injury workload and efficiency, but the highly conservative handling so far suggests that he will see fewer touches than his pre-injury baseline.
Most concussed players miss 1 week, but he still has a chance to clear protocol on Saturday. If active, data favors full pre-injury workload and production.
Data projects 2/3 chance of playing. Mild groin strains don’t typically cause performance hits for young TEs, but they do carry a re-aggravation risk of ~15%.
TBD. Data heavily favors sitting, as he has missed practice the entire week so far. However, data also favored Brown sitting last week, when he played through this without any production hit. Our gut leans slightly towards Brown playing again Week 13.
Playing. Video suggested significant chest contusion at end of Week 12, so the data projects a moderate performance hit.
TBD. Data projects 60% chance of sitting. Late week downgrades from limited practice to DNP don’t typically bode well for his chances. If active, would expect a dip in his production compared to baseline.
Lean towards Week 14 return. The average on these is 5-7 weeks, and he’s only at 4 right now.
Suspect return is possible, but with significant limitations. Would expect mostly shotgun snaps, quick passes, and very limited mobility. Likely would look similar to Joe Burrow when he first re-aggravated his calf strain.
And that’s a wrap for the moment. Feel free to check in on Twitter/X if we missed anyone you’re looking for!
