Fantasy Football Injury Report & Predictions

Nico Collins (WR – HOU)

Game status: TBD. He is likely close to full strength, but data leans towards him sitting out Week 10 (60% chance) due to DNP-DNP-LP practice progression. Each week of rest reduces his re-injury risk, which currently stands at ~15%.

Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)

Status: TBD. Slightly favored to play. Hill has a history of suiting up despite missed practices, but last-minute DNP raises the risk of him sitting out. Monitor closely for updates.

Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)

Expected to play with high per-touch efficiency. However, coaches may manage his workload, especially in non-competitive game scripts. Elevated re-injury risk persists throughout the season.

Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX)

Limited practice (LP) all three days this week. Typically, this pattern indicates a likely return by Week 11.

Dak Prescott (QB – DAL)

Out for an estimated 6+ weeks. Some cases, like his, result in surgery, which would end his season. A full recovery by 2025 is expected, but returning early could carry a significant re-injury risk.

Drake London (WR – ATL)

Data supports his return to action, but with a projected ~15% dip in production due to the injury.

Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAX)

Expected to play. His limited Week 9 output (2 receptions, 22 yards) likely stemmed from lingering injury effects. Production should improve gradually through Week 12.

Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)

Likely sidelined for Week 10 and Week 11.

CeeDee Lamb (WR – DAL)

Set to play, though data indicates a potential 15-20% hit to production. Lamb’s skillset gives him strong outlier potential, but there’s a heightened risk of re-injury if he takes a fall on his shoulder.

Amari Cooper (WR – BUF)

Status: TBD. I’m leaning towards playing. It’s uncommon to log limited practice (LP) three times over two consecutive weeks without eventually playing.

Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)

Status: TBD, with a 60% chance of playing, according to projections. Skill position players often experience a decrease in touches following a rib-oblique injury.

Jauan Jennings (WR – SF)

Likely to play, with no projected dip in production.

DeVonta Smith (WR – PHI)

Expected to play without a projected dip in stats, though there’s a slight increase in re-injury risk due to the nature of hamstring strains.

Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)

Projections lean towards a Week 11 return. He carries a high re-injury risk due to two in-season soft-tissue injuries.

Mike Evans (WR – TB)

Reports indicate a target return for Week 12. Strong production is projected upon his return, but there is a notable re-injury risk given his age (30+) and the nature of the hamstring injury.

Tank Dell (WR – HOU)

Despite being a late addition to the injury report, playing suggests low severity. A mild production dip is expected unless re-aggravation occurs.

Will Anderson (DE – HOU)

Video analysis and practice progression point to a mild high ankle sprain. The average recovery for this type is two weeks. I am leaning towards a Week 11-12 return, with Week 12 being more likely.
