Instant Athlete Injury Alerts
Get alerted when a key athlete is ruled out, before the lineup lock and the odds move.
By AyeWatch Team3 min read
Short answer: To get instant alerts when an athlete is ruled out, follow the team's official injury report and its beat reporters, turn on notifications, and watch those pages with a monitor. For fantasy sports, set the alert before the lineup lock, not after the pregame show.
AyeWatch is an AI monitor for public pages and topics. It watches team pages, reporter profiles, and injury topics and sends an alert when a new report appears.
Where injury news breaks
The team's official report, the beat writer's post, and the league's injury page. A coach's press conference can break it earlier than the formal report. The pregame inactive list is the last official word.
Follow the beat writer for the team, not a national aggregator.
Set the alert before the lock
Fantasy lineups lock before the game, and odds move when the news breaks. An alert that arrives at tip-off is useless. Watch the team page and the reporter in the hours before the game.
Use phone push, not a daily email.
What to watch
The team injury report page, the beat reporter's profile, and a topic watch for the player's name plus "injury", "out", or "questionable". Add the coach's press conference page if it is public.
A monitor catches the update even when the push is delayed.
Verify the status
Questionable, doubtful, and out are different. A report can change in warmups. Confirm with the official inactive list before you act.
Do not trade or bet on a single unconfirmed post.
