Through seven weeks of the 2024-25 NFL season, the injury bug has run rampant. In Week 7, key players such as Brandon Aiyuk, Chris Godwin, and Deshaun Watson suffered season-ending injuries, while Jayden Daniels and DK Metcalf found themselves on a week-to-week injury status. With the injuries pilling up, the question is: how do I keep track of all of the pertinent ones?
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—subbed in by DKNetwork’s Garion Thorne for Week 8—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 Garion will break down the Week 8 injury report and give you top-tier DraftKings fantasy advice based on player statuses: with Brandon Aiyuk done for the season, is Ricky Pearsall a good value play? What is Mike Evan’s injury status, and should we consider starting Jalen McMillan if Evans sits for multiple weeks?
In Week 7, Meghan and Steve analyzed the Colts’ backfield with Jonathan Taylor’s nagging ankle injury, and Steve was passionate about fading backup Trey Sermon:
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.
