Fantasy Football Injury Report - Week 8 Injuries Dashboard

Fantasy Football Injuries Dashboard - Week 8 Injury Updates

Anyone who has even the slightest experience with fantasy football is well aware of how impactful injuries can be. In both season-long leagues and in daily fantasy contests, players getting injured is a very significant part of the game. It makes sense, then, to be as on top of injury situations as you can possibly be in order to make sound decisions about (1) your own roster and potential waiver wire additions, and/or (2) your FanDuel and DraftKings lineups. Selecting the correct value-filler who gets added opportunities due to injury can be the difference between cashing and not cashing in DFS, or even doing well in a GPP versus taking down the entire contest.

This brand-new fantasy football Injury Dashboard will serve as a quick, easy-to-understand breakdown of all the fantasy-relevant injuries for the upcoming week's main slate. It will show the player's injury, the latest update, the player's "status", the player's DFS salaries, the player's matchup, and a useful "Upgrade if Inactive" column. "Upgrade if Inactive" is self-explanatory - these are the players you'd want to pick up or target if the injured player were to be ruled out.

The injury dashboard will be updated multiple times daily as NFL injury news breaks, and it's sorted by DraftKings salary. Be sure to keep an eye on our RotoBaller NFL News wire for additional breaking NFL news. You can see the full injury list here as well in a spreadsheet if you prefer that format.
