Use these SIC player health scores to make decisions when setting your fantasy and daily fantasy lineups. SIC scores from the ProFootballDocs estimate how effective player will perform despite injury.
Quarterbacks
Josh Allen (92 last week) 88
The 25-year-old suffered a turf toe injury last Sunday against the Buccaneers, but enters the game against the Panthers with no injury designation. He should be as mobile as usual with no ill effects.
Lamar Jackson (92 last week) 22
The star Baltimore quarterback missed practice all week after suffering a right ankle sprain against the Browns last Sunday. Jackson is listed as questionable, but our impression is he won’t play.
Aaron Rodgers (91 last week) 94
Rodgers missed practice all week with his fractured pinky toe, but will continue to play through the injury. His performance and ability should not be hampered going forward.
Zach Wilson (88 last week) 90
The young Jets quarterback is another week better from his Week 7 PCL strain. His mobility may still be affected.
Running Backs
Saquon Barkley (76 last week) 79
Barkley, the 24-year-old rusher, has had a disappointing season thus far. He continues to be hampered by his surgically repaired right knee and a left ankle sprain he suffered Week 5. He will continue to split touches with Devontae Booker.
Leonard Fournette (93 last week) 79
The veteran Buccaneers running back is dealing with an ankle sprain of unknown severity. He was set for a bigger pass catching role with Gio Bernard on IR, but might not play his usual amount of snaps.
James Robinson (92 last week) 89
Robinson is still apparently dealing with knee and heel injuries, but has a big opportunity this week with Carlos Hyde out with a concussion. We expect a big game from Robinson now that he’s out from under former head coach Urban Meyer’s thumb.
Wide Receivers
Davante Adams (91 last week) 94
The star Packers wideout was listed with a hamstring issue last week, but was off the injury report this week.
D.J. Moore (92 last week) 43
Moore suffered a hamstring injury last week and was limited in practice all week. He is listed as questionable and will likely not be effective if he plays.
Deebo Samuel (30 last week) 90
The 49ers versatile pass catcher played last week despite suffering a groin strain two weeks ago. He played well against the Bengals and should be near full speed this week against the Falcons.
Marquise Brown (92 last week) 90
Brown missed Thursday with an illness and is questionable to play against the Packers. He will play through the illness, but will likely have backup quarterback Tyler Huntley throwing to him.
Kenny Golladay (63 last week) 78
The veteran Giants wideout missed game time with a ribs injury two weeks ago and likely still has some associated soreness. He can take a rib block injection to finish the game, but will likely have limited effectiveness.
Sterling Shepard (49 last week) 49
Shepard played last week for the first time since Week 8, but had just two catches for 27 yards. He apparently picked up a hamstring ailment in practice Friday and should be avoided in lineups at all cost.
Marques Valdez-Scantling (90 last week) 86
The Packers speedy wideout was limited in practice with a back injury, but should play through it. He gets a favorable matchup against a Ravens secondary ravaged by injuries.
Devante Parker (86 last week) 91
The Dolphins first-string pass catcher is playing in his second game off IR and should see increased targets with rookie Jaylen Waddle on the COVID reserve list.
Tight Ends
George Kittle (95 last week) 93
The 49ers Pro Bowl tight end is on a tear lately and should be played in lineups whenever possible. He missed practice time this week with a knee contusion, but nothing appears able to slow him down right now.
Zach Ertz (92 last week) 37
Ertz, the Cardinals new tight end, has performed well with the team, but was limited in practice Friday with a hamstring injury. He is questionable to play against the Lions and likely won’t see many targets even if active.
