Frequently asked questions
Who is injured in the NFL this week?
Our live Week 8 injury report lists every fantasy-relevant player who is questionable, doubtful, out or on injured reserve, with a fantasy move for each. The board above shows the ten that matter most.
When is the NFL injury report updated?
Four times a day during the season: morning, midday, afternoon and evening. Wednesday and Thursday bring practice reports, Friday brings official game designations, and inactives drop about 90 minutes before kickoff.
How long will an injured player be out?
It depends on the injury more than the headline. Our NFL Injury Guide gives real recovery timelines for high-ankle sprains, hamstrings, ACL tears, concussions and more, sourced to published research.
Who should I pick up on waivers?
An early list goes up after the Sunday games and the final waiver pickups with FAAB bids follow every Tuesday morning on our waiver wire page, ranked by how long each opening should last.
