Now that we’re in the meat of fantasy football season, I felt it was appropriate to break out these excellent charts I found a few weeks ago. The following charts appeared in ESPN The Mag’s football preview issue, courtesy of the geniuses (including my boy MDS) over at Football Outsiders. It didn’t make much sense to post them before the season or around week 1 since players weren’t exactly hurt then. Now it’s week 3 and we’re starting to see players get banged up. Check out these excellent fantasy football charts that tell you the percentage likelihood a player will play in the game depending on his type of injury, injury status (probable, questionable, doubtful), and depending on the team. Bookmark this link and be sure to revisit it during the season to check on your players for some advice. (click on each picture below to see the full-sized chart, I had to shrink them)
May that be the key to you winning a fantasy football matchup! I know I’ll be checking them out throughout the season for help.
