Greg Scholz of Inside Injuries runs through your biggest fantasy football health concerns, like Aaron Jones, ahead of the Week 2 NFL slate.
First, here’s a quick glossary of terms commonly used by =Health Performance Factor — our metric to predict player performance =Optimal Recovery Time — the amount of time a player needs to fully recover from an injury to some extent. Grade 1 strains, which generally heal in around 1-3 weeks, have minimal tearing in only a few muscle fibers. Grade 2 strains feature more damaged fibers, but the muscle itself is not fully ruptured. These strains tend to require 3-7 weeks to heal completely.
Another reader mentioned how much I’ve written about hamstrings, so I’ll try to keep it concise here. The hamstrings do a lot for lower body movement, primarily helping bend the knee and extend the hip. If an athlete can’t do either or both without pain, they’ll be highly limited. Beyond that, the hamstrings have a relatively limited blood supply, which slows down the healing process after they become injured.
Our algorithm is tentatively categorizing this as a Grade 1 sprain, which gives him a High IRC and a Below Average HPF heading into this weekend. Additionally, his ORT is 11 days away. That being said, if the absence from practice is more so because of the personal matter, then those metrics are being graded a little higher than they should be because the algorithm doesn’t account for these potentially mitigating factors.
Watson is definitely in a worse spot than his teammate, Aaron Jones. He’s been out since late August with a hamstring injury and we don’t expect him to return for Week 2. His metrics aren’t great and he’s still four weeks away from Optimal Recovery. He may return before that, but we wouldn’t recommend it.
. Aside from that, all signs point to a successful rehab that will put him in line to return around that Week 5 mark. We’re anticipating a return closer to Week 7, though.Right now, Murray’s Injury Risk and Health Performance Factor are not in a good enough spot to return in Week 5. His IRC remains High and his HPF is Poor .
