Week 2 Fantasy Football Injury Report
Likely out Week 2. Video suggested a moderate severity hamstring strain. Average timeline = 2-3 weeks. Data favors most likely return Week 4-5 with low performance impact but 20% re-injury risk for the first 6 weeks back.
Likely playing Week 2. Minimal performance impact is expected, but Waller’s history of 3 significant soft tissue injuries (including 2 hamstrings), age > 30, and now reported hamstring tightness makes him a very high risk player for the duration of the season. Attractive in daily fantasy formats, but would consider moving away from Waller in season-long formats if he has a big game soon.
Playing Week 2, but data suggests he will still be affected by that turf toe injury. Expect 1-2 more weeks of a performance hit followed by return to full explosiveness by Week 4.
