Curious if you veteran owners have any advice on injuries. Generally I don't play a guy if any of the health levels are below 60. Is that too conservative? When do injuries impact a players' performance? If he has several levels that are in the 60-70 range do they add up to ding him? Just wondering if I should roll out my best players regardless of health (unless it's a serious injury, obviously), or only play them if they're at 80+ across the board. Thanks in advance for any thoughts.

If probable, I play them no matter what. If quesitonable, I usually play them, unless I think I won't need them (like they have a good backup, or it's a weak opponent). Doubtful or out, I never play them.

Thanks. I usually still play probable and questionable guys, but I didn't know if certain positions (RBs with leg or foot injuries) had a major penalty and they'd be really ineffective and would be better off playing a mediocre backup at 100s than an injured star in the 60s. Not that there are many "stars" on the Monarchs, but you get my point.

guess I've been doing it wrong.
almost all dinged up guys I've been putting inactive, even probable. at times hard to field a full lineup always worried the injuries might compound and Id loose the guys for longer. Going to start following a less cautious approach and see what happens

I personally only play probable. Maybe less than a handleful of times I've played a questionable, if I don't have a full roster otherwise, and it's an important game.

In the regular season, I try to sit every injured play, as I don't want them to aggravate their injury.

Playoffs, I will play questionable guys, especially when it is not ankle or knee on a speed guy
