In evaluating injury-prone players for your 2025 fantasy football team, it's crucial to avoid those like Brandon Aiyuk, Stefon Diggs, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed. Aiyuk's recent knee injuries raise concerns about his long-term effectiveness. The grotesque injury he suffered, involving ACL, MCL, and meniscus damage, may hamper his ability to return to form, especially with the depth of talent in the 49ers' receiving corps.

Diggs, now with the New England Patriots, faces a similar dilemma. As he approaches his 32nd birthday, even if he starts as the WR1, the potential for decline looms, compounded by his recent knee issue. Kupp, while not sidelined long-term, has consistently struggled to stay healthy for an entire season. Rashid Shaheed's status is murkier, but his injury history suggests he too may not be reliable going forward. Prioritize players with stronger health records to maximize your lineup's potential.
