Injury Management: How to Keep Your Team Strong

Injuries are an inevitable part of fantasy sports. Proper injury management, however, is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge throughout the season.

Stay informed. Track injury reports and understand expected recovery times to make timely adjustments to your roster.

Depth is your greatest ally. Ensure your roster includes reliable backups who can step in when a starter is injured or unavailable.

Short-term injuries can often be managed effectively. If a player’s return is imminent, hold onto them. For long-term injuries, consider dropping them for a healthy replacement.

The waiver wire is a valuable resource. Players who step into larger roles due to injuries on their team can provide significant fantasy points and help offset injuries to your own players.

Consider trading for depth when key players are injured. Adding reliable assets through trade can help stabilize your team while waiting for your injured stars to return.

Injuries can create opportunities for others. If a starter is sidelined, their replacement may gain significant playing time and fantasy points. Be proactive and capitalize on these shifts.

Injury management requires quick decision-making, flexibility, and a proactive approach. With the right strategy, you can minimize the impact of injuries and keep your team on track for success.
