How many fantasy points will an injured player score when he comes back?
This chart covers every starting QB, RB, WR and TE who is currently missing games with an injury. For each player, it compares his PPR fantasy points per game before the injury with what to expect over his first 4 games back.
What each bar shows:
- Before injury: his average PPR points per game over his last 6 games played
- Projected (games 1–4 back): that baseline, adjusted by how similar starters at his position actually performed in their first 4 games after a similar absence
- Low / High: the realistic range, from a slow return to a full-speed one
Also included:
- Games missed so far
- Expected total games missed
- How many similar past cases the projection is based on
Example: Breece Hall (NYJ, quad) averaged 12.2 PPR points per game before his injury. He’s projected at 9.3 points per game over his first 4 games back, with a range of 5.6 to 13.3.
How to use it: pick a team and position, or search a player by name. If a team has no injured starter at a position, you’ll see “No injured RB this week.”
