2025 Fantasy Football Injury Tracker
Sam Greene/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
One of the aspects of injury tracking that I personally highly value is one place where I can find updated news and projections on my injured players, which is why I wanted to create this table format for everyone to use. Please bookmark this link, as I will continue to update the positional tables throughout each week as more information comes to light. I hope that it becomes a very useful resource for you all in roster management in all formats. I will also list the bye weeks, as these are often important to keep in mind in terms of how teams may manage their injured player return to play timetables.
The 2025 bye weeks are as follows:
- Week 5: Atlanta Falcons, Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers, Pittsburgh Steelers
- Week 6: Houston Texans, Minnesota Vikings
- Week 7: Baltimore Ravens, Buffalo Bills
- Week 8: Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks
- Week 9: Cleveland Browns, New York Jets, Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Week 10: Cincinnati Bengals, Dallas Cowboys, Kansas City Chiefs, Tennessee Titans
- Week 11: Indianapolis Colts, New Orleans Saints
- Week 12: Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins, Washington Commanders
- Week 14: Carolina Panthers, New England Patriots, New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers
