NFL Injury News Alerts: Inactives and Scratches From X
Get a push when an NFL insider posts inactives, injury designations or a surprise scratch. The fastest free-to-try setup for fantasy football.
Short answer: NFL inactives and injury news hit X before fantasy apps push them. Monitor the insiders and beat writers you trust with AyeWatch X profile monitors, filter to "injury news, inactives and players ruled out", and get a push. Before kickoff on Sunday, ASAP mode on Pro+ is the fastest schedule.
Set it up
- Open Create a monitor → X and choose Profile.
- Paste the insider's link, like
https://x.com/AdamSchefter. - In Only alert me about, write "injury news, inactives and players ruled out".
- Pick a schedule and click Create monitor. Add one monitor per insider or beat writer.
What you get
The first check saves the current posts as a starting point, so you are not flooded with old ones. After that, every check that finds something new sends one alert. The headline is the post itself, or "3 new from …" when several land at once, with a link to each post and its text.
Alerts land in your feed and as push in the AyeWatch iOS and Android app. On Pro and Pro+ you can also turn on email, Slack, or a webhook.
What it costs
An X profile check with the filter is 3 credits.
| Check every | Credits a day | Plan that fits |
|---|---|---|
| Twice a day | 6 | Pro |
| A few times a day | 12 | Pro |
| Hourly | 72 | Pro+ with top-ups |
Plans: Free Preview gives you 3 credits to try a monitor on a daily check. Pro is $9 a month for 500 credits and checks as often as hourly. Pro+ is $19 a month for 1,500 credits and adds ASAP mode. Failed checks are refunded, and the form shows the exact daily credit use before you save.
A setup that stays cheap
- Twice a day during the week for practice reports.
- Hourly on Sunday morning, then back down.
- Put your roster's names in the filter so only your players alert.
FAQ
What are the fastest fantasy football alerts?
Insider posts on X are usually first. AyeWatch checks them on your schedule, so hourly or ASAP mode gets you close behind, by push.
Can I get inactives before lineups lock?
Yes, if your schedule is fast enough in the 90 minutes before kickoff. Use hourly or ASAP mode on game day.
Do I need an X account?
No. AyeWatch reads public posts.
