Week 10 Fantasy Football Injury Report
Data projects 2/3 chance he plays but also forecasts a moderate (~15%) performance dip. The hit from these tends to be short, so he’ll likely return to ~100% by Week 11-12.
Limited information on this one since they are the Monday game, but our data currently projects a 60% chance of Diggs playing. If he logs a “limited” practice Saturday, that will increase to 2/3. Expect a 10-15% performance hit here.
Finally back. QB passing production post-ACL returns quickly to pre-injury level. Rushing attempts and yards per rush both decrease the 1st year back.
Progress so far suggests a Week 11 return. Most young WRs would’ve actually returned this week (post-IR) at near 100%, so we’d expect full strength when he does suit up again.
Even mild hamstrings for WRs tend to average 2 weeks. Therefore, data favors Higgins missing Week 11, plus having a mild efficiency dip upon return. Faster return typically correlates with higher re-injury risk, so the Bengals may not want to rush him here.
Data predicts a 3 week performance dip, but he’s now at 4. Therefore, he’s very likely to produce near 100% without workload limitations.
TBD. Data projects 2/3 chance of playing. Typical return from MCL injury does not carry production or workload dips for RBs.
TBD. Data projects 70% chance of playing. These are very painful injuries, so pass catchers typically see a moderate (~15%) performance hit upon return.
Most non-displaced fractures cause ~3 week performance hit. He’s now at 4, so we should expect a full strength performance here.
Playing. Young WRs off of groin strains tend to return at full strength, but with a 10-15% re-injury risk.
The trajectory and injury timing itself are concerning for his Week 11 status. WR calf data slightly does favor a Week 11 return (~55%) with a mild performance hit, but this will be much more accurate once we see next week’s practice progression.
Timeline here suggests a low-grade high ankle. 2/3 of RBs would miss Week 11 as well, and return Week 12 but with a production dip.
Data projects 70% chance to play Week 10. Expect low performance impact if active.
Playing Week 10. Data suggests he should be finally recovering from his ’22 Lisfranc, and projects performance improvements over the next 4-6 weeks.
Practice trajectory suggests he’s likely playing Week 1 (60%), but these mid-week hamstring injuries can be dicey. If active, data favors a decreased workload compared to baseline.
And that’s a wrap for the moment. Feel free to check in on Twitter/X if we missed anyone you’re looking for!
