Injury buy window — cheap stars to acquire.

Direct answer
Top-150 dynasty players currently injured. The injury discount is real — buy-low targets in May 2026.
Dynasty managers panic-sell injured stars. That's the inefficiency. The historical pattern: a top-150 player on IR/PUP lists trades for 60–75% of pre-injury value, but recovers 90–95% within 14 months of return. The arbitrage window is the 4-week span when the injury news drops.
| SF # | Player | Status | Pre-injury value |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13 | Jayden Daniels QB · WAS | Questionable | 7,539 |
| 20 | Malik Nabers WR · NYG | IR | 6,130 |
| 22 | Bo Nix QB · DEN | Questionable | 5,876 |
| 28 | Garrett Wilson WR · NYJ | Questionable | 4,985 |
| 39 | Brock Bowers TE · LV | Questionable | 4,299 |
| 47 | Rashee Rice WR · KC | Questionable | 3,630 |
| 55 | Sam LaPorta TE · DET | Questionable | 3,072 |
| 69 | Tucker Kraft TE · GB | Questionable | 2,216 |
| 73 | Bucky Irving RB · TB | Questionable | 2,099 |
| 74 | Quinshon Judkins RB · CLE | Questionable | 2,027 |
The IR discount
Players on IR sit at the deepest discount — managers want roster spots and trade them for picks. If the player is 26 or younger and the injury is non-recurring (soft tissue, surgery with clean recovery), buy. Avoid: knee #2, ACL on RBs over 27.
