About the injury recovery data

Fantasy Injury Team · Tom Christ, PT, DPT, OCS · Injury research and clinical interpretation

How much does an injury affect fantasy football production after a player returns? Compare quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends using FIT’s recorded NFL injury episodes.

Explore six return games, fantasy points and snap share. Use the tables to compare time missed and performance after return. Sample sizes appear beside the averages so you can distinguish a larger body of observations from a handful of cases.
