Use these SIC player health scores to make decisions when setting your fantasy and daily fantasy lineups. Scores subject to change based on practice patterns and new information.
Alvin Kamara (78 last week) 90
The versatile Saints running back has missed four games with a left knee MCL sprain, but should return this week against the Jets. He should be able to handle a full workload.
Darrell Henderson Jr. (55 last week) 62
Cam Akers’ replacement was active for last week’s game, but didn’t touch the ball. He’ll get an extra day to rest his quad strain before facing the Cardinals, but will still cede touches to Sony Michel.
Joe Burrow (91 last week) 90
The Bengals second-year quarterback dislocated the pinky on his throwing hand against the Chargers and seemed to have some issues adjusting to the grip at first. He should be able to adjust his grip in practice this week and look as though the injury never happened.
Kyler Murray (88 last week) 93
Murray looked as mobile as ever against the Chicago Bears and was not limited by his ankle injury at all. He may still have some rust associated with missing four games previously, but he is healthy.
Lamar Jackson (88 last week) 92
The 24-year-old versatile quarterback missed the game two weeks ago with an illness and seemed to roll his ankle late in the game against the Steelers last week. To put it plainly, we are not worried about his ankle injury.
DeAndre Hopkins (61 last week) 82
Although he returned from his lengthy absence last week, he had a dismal stat line without the touchdown and his hamstring is not 100%. He will play again, but don’t expect him to be fully effective just yet.
Chris Godwin (90 last week) 94
Star Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin took a heavy hit late against the Falcons, but returned and finished with 15 catches for 143 yards. He’ll be good to go this Sunday against the Bills.
Amari Cooper (83 last week) 91
Leading up to last Thursday, he was still dealing with a lingering cough from his bout with COVID-19. We hope the cough doesn’t stick around this week or else it will be tough to play a whole game.
Tee Higgins (92 last week) 90
The Bengals wideout injured his left ankle last week against the Chargers, but exited for only two plays before returning. He had 9 catches for 138 yards and a touchdown. He’ll be good to go against the 49ers, who will be down No. 1 cornerback Emmanuel Moseley.
Odell Beckham Jr. (71 last week) 71
The new Rams wideout is dealing with a back/hip injury, but caught a touchdown last week. His surgically repaired left knee has looked good recently and he should be at full strength down the stretch for Los Angeles.
Taysom Hill/Trevor Siemian (43 last week) 43
Hill suffered a mallet finger injury in his first start at quarterback since Week 14 last season. He will likely have accuracy issues on deep passes if he remains the quarterback. He had 4 interceptions against the Cowboys last Thursday.
Justin Fields 88
The rookie Bears quarterback has missed two weeks with cracked ribs, but should be good to go this Sunday.
D’Andre Swift 50
The Lions rusher has a 50/50 shot to play as he recovers from the SC sprain he suffered on Thanksgiving. The Lions are not competitive this season and would be smart to prioritize getting Swift healthy before he returns.
Melvin Gordon III 31
The lead Broncos running back may miss another week with a hip injury, depending on how the swelling is. Javonte Williams has had a great rookie campaign and is more than capable of filling in against the Lions this Sunday.
David Johnson (77 last week) 78
The former Cardinals rusher missed last week’s game with an illness and quad contusion. Both should be better this week, but the Texans may not play him at less than 100%.
Allen Robinson II (39 last week) 47
The veteran Bears wideout has missed three games with a hamstring strain he suffered Week 9. He likely won’t play this week either.
Kenny Golladay (90 last week) 76
Golladay left the Dolphins game with a ribs injury, then returned after halftime but didn’t catch a pass. The former Lions wideout will likely play this week, but require a rib block injection to deal with the pain.
Tyrod Taylor/Davis Mills (92 last week) 17
Taylor tore a ligament in his left wrist Sunday, then was replaced by Mills. It will be the Stanford alum’s job going forward, although Taylor could be available as a backup as early as this Sunday.
Zach Wilson (86 last week) 88
The rookie Jets quarterback is still not 100% from his Week 7 PCL strain. His mobility may not fully return for another few weeks.
