Fantasy Football Injury Updates

But before we do, don’t forget to hit us up on Twitter/X @SportMDAnalysis and scoop all the latest updates on sportsmedanalytics.com. Now here we go!

Jordan Love

TBD. True game-time decision. Data slightly favors playing (55%) based on his practice progression. The concern here is that returning too soon results in high MCL re-injury risk + elevated ACL risk. The Packers just elevated a backup QB from the practice squad, so it really wouldn’t be surprising to see this go the other way. If active, expect very limited mobility from Love.

A.J. Brown

Out. Avg = 2 weeks. Data favors return Week 4, but practice reports are the key. High re-injury risk upon return.

Justin Herbert

TBD. Data projects 60% chance of sitting. He does have history of playing through extreme injuries previously. We’d lean towards return Week 4.

Tee Higgins

Playing. Data suggests pre-injury efficiency but 15% drop in targets, along with a high re-injury risk.

George Kittle

Likely out. Average = 2 weeks, so data slightly favors sitting Week 4 and returning Week 5.

Kenneth Walker III

Out. Trending towards Week 4 return without limitations.

Joe Mixon

High ankle avg = 2-3 weeks. Practice status = key. Lean towards sitting Week 4.

Deebo Samuel

Avg = 2-3 weeks. WR calf re-injury risk = high. Week 5 = possible, but data suggests Week 6 return as more likely.

Jonathon Brooks

Data favors Week 5 return at 85% efficiency, but only 50% snap-count. By Week 9, Brooks projects for 90% efficiency + full workloads. Think Breece Hall ’23.

Jordan Addison

Out. Data favors Week 5 return, but practice = key to predicting this outcome.

Cooper Kupp

Average = 4-6 weeks. Lean towards return ~Week 7 w/high production, but also high re-injury risk.

Keenan Allen

Plantar fasciitis = high in-season re-injury risk. Lean towards Week 5 return.

David Njoku

Average = 3 weeks. Week 4 = possible, but Week 5 = most likely. Practice reports will be the key on this one.

Christian McCaffrey

Lean towards ~Week 7 return with a slow ramp up and load management basically the whole way. Likely not full workload expected here until late season because of the elevated re-injury risk this will carry.

Jake Ferguson

Data favors playing w/~20% production dip.

Mike Gesicki

TBD. If he hits an LP Saturday, data projects 60% chance of playing but with high re-injury risk.

Evan Engram

Data slightly favors return next week to practice, followed by a game-time decision for Week 4.

Isiah Pacheco

8 week timeline is realistic (similar to Mark Andrews ’23), but we should expect ~20+% strength dip for the rest of ’24.

And that’s a wrap for the moment. Catch the rest of the updates on Twitter/X, and let us know which other players are still on your mind. Good luck in Week 3!
