Most people play Fantasy Football to win. But, regardless of how serious you are about winning, on any given Sunday, showing no respect for your knowledge, injuries can send you for a loss.
Based on our 10+ years of actual case studies, on average, an NFL player's fantasy football production will decrease, in a given year, by 15% after their first appearance on the official NFL injury report.
Fantasy Football owners often fall into the trap of thinking it's only a groin pull. Injuries and time take a toll on athletes. The human body is not fully resilient.
Also, keep in mind, for the prepared fantasy owner, having a player ruled Out in advance, is often more desirable than dealing with the uncertainty of a Questionable or Doubtful situation.
