Here is our full injury report for Week 3. Below we dive into a few notable players.

Week 3 Fantasy Football Injury Report

Puka Nacua (WR – LAR)

TBD. Lean towards playing. Typically see low production impact and re-injury risk if active.

DeAndre Hopkins (WR – TEN)

TBD. Lean towards playing. WRs with this pattern of progressive downgrades in practice would actually sit out the game 75% of the time. However, Hopkins has a personal history (with multiple teams) of playing despite missing practices, so we’d lean towards that outcome here.

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

TBD. Data projects a 65% chance he plays based on injury report timing and practice progression. If active, we’d anticipate 10% explosiveness dip and re-injury rate.

Derrick Henry (RB – TEN)

Likely playing. Similar to the case of Aaron Jones, Henry projects to see a low impact of his efficiency, but more spread out usage with Tyjae Spears. This will be the case for any older RB playing through minor injury.
