Through four weeks of the 2024-25 NFL season, the injury bug has run fairly rampant. Key players such as Rashee Rice, Jonathan Taylor, Christian Watson, and more have been added to the injury reports, paving the way for backups and handcuffs to shine. The question is: how do I keep track of all of the pertinent injuries?
That’s where Injury Report Live comes into play. Every Friday at 3 p.m. ET streaming on @DKNetwork (X) and on DraftKings on YouTube, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley bring you Injury Report Live: your go-to spot for fantasy and betting advice based on the most notable injuries in the league.
This week, Steve and Meghan will break down the Week 5 injury report and give you top-tier DraftKings fantasy advice based on player statuses: if Jonathan Taylor is ruled out, is Trey Sermon a must-start? What is Tank Dell’s injury status, and would his return affect Stefon Diggs’ fantasy value?
In Week 4, Meghan and Steve analyzed Justin Herbert’s current situation and lingering injury—Steve did not hold back on his advice on the Chargers’ QB:
Herbert completed 16/27 passes for 179 yards and an underwhelming 11.16 FPTS.
Here is a sneak peek of names you could hear on Injury Report Live this Friday:
- Travis Etienne Jr. (shoulder)
- Malik Nabers (concussion)
- Brandin Cooks (knee)
- Joe Mixon (ankle)
- Anthony Richardson (hip)
- DeVonta Smith (concussion)
The goal is to avoid the last-minute scramble to fix lineups and be ahead of the game instead. IRL is taking the injury report a step further by chopping up backup scenarios, finding the best diamond-in-the-rough value plays, and providing picks on DraftKings Sportsbook — plus weekly entertainment, of course.
Steve and Meghan are excited to bring this show to you, so tune in every Friday at 3 p.m. ET to hear innovative solutions to injury woes.
