What is Injury designation in fantasy football?

An injury designation is the official weekly status on a player: Out, Doubtful, Questionable or Probable.

How it works in your league

Questionable is the one that decides lineups, and it often resolves 90 minutes before kickoff. Always have a plan B ready rather than waiting on news.
