NFL Week 1 gave us a plethora of points — tied for the most points ever scored in a Week 1 in the Super Bowl era. With that, many of the most popular players scored TDs, including Jahymr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, Lamar Jackson, and Josh Allen.
But for some players, it wasn’t such an exciting start, as their season debut came to an early end due to injury. This week, that included Vikings QB Kyler Murray, Seahawks QB Sam Darnold, and 49ers rookie WR De’Zhaun Stribling — two of which kicked off the week on primetime.
Thankfully, on PrizePicks, you can still win even if the players you picked go down with an injury. With our Reboot policy, users won over $1.88 million thanks to injury protection from Gobby&Gobby on 16 players.
Below, we’ll list all the NFL players who got rebooted on PrizePicks, plus how much the injury protection policy helped users win this week!

NFL Week 1 Injuries: NFL Reboots on PrizePicks
There were plenty of big first-half injuries in Week 1, including two to QBs. PrizePicks’ injury protection on 16 players helped users win over $1.88 million in Week 1 alone.
Here are all of the NFL players PrizePicks rebooted across all Week 1 games, including how much users won thanks to our injury protection policy.
The biggest injuries came to two QBs: Vikings QB Kyler Murray and Seahawks QB Sam Darnold. Surprisingly, both QBs left in the first quarter of the game, and both teams still won in Week 1. In good news, Darnold still cashed his Guarantee Pick promo in the season opener by passing for more 1 yard.
Outside of those two, there were other key injuries to rookie WRs De’Zhaun Stribling — who could now miss extended time — and Ravens’ Ja’Kobi Lane, who should return soon.
Meanwhile, those who went More on Travis Hunter got bailed out by his reboot, as the second-year rookie played just four snaps on offense — all on the same drive, where he had one catch and one rush. It’s possible that in closer games he may find a somewhat expanded role, but his contributions are mostly expected to be on defense going forward, especially with a crowded wide receiver room.
The rest of the board of injuries were relatively minor, though Giants RB Tyrone Tracy Jr. did help out those who may have used him in their Sunday Night Football lineup in the Giants’ win.

How the PrizePicks NFL Injury Policy Works
For NFL, the Reboot policy applies to all regular season and postseason games. A pick qualifies as a Reboot when all of the following happen:
- You picked More on an eligible player's full-game projection
- That player leaves the game in the 1st half
- The player does not return in the 2nd half
NFL defensive players and most special-teams players aren't Reboot-eligible. Kickers and punters are the one exception — they qualify only if they're listed as active but never record a single kick or punt.
Certain stat types tied to partial-game or limited-attempt achievements (like receptions of 10+ yards) also don't qualify. Full detail lives in the NFL Reboot terms.

What Happens to Your Lineup When an NFL Pick Is Rebooted?
A Rebooted pick is marked a DNP, and your lineup drops one payout tier — it doesn't wipe out the whole lineup. For example:
- 6-Pick Flex → 5-Pick Flex
- 5-Pick Flex → 4-Pick Flex
- 4-Pick Power → 3-Pick Power
- 3-Pick Power → 2-Pick Power
- 2-Pick Power/Flex → Refund
If more than one pick in a lineup qualifies for a Reboot, the lineup reverts down once for each Rebooted pick. And if you picked Less on a projection that ends up getting Rebooted, that pick still counts as a win.
