Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

Thank you so much for hanging out with us today.

We're putting the finishing touches here on the fantasy draft season. One more big

draft weekend to get through here. I know most leagues wait until after the preseason,

after cut down day when all that's over to have your draft, which I think is smart because

you're working with the most information at that

point. You know who's made each roster. You should be able to get a pretty good idea of where

things stand injury-wise, too, and that's what we're here to help with today. Now, if you've been

listening to the show, you know my approach with injuries by now. I've learned a lot over the years

following the NFL, covering

the NFL, seeing some of the same type of issues pop up over and over. So sometimes you have

a feel for what to expect. But every injury has to be looked at case by case. And that's why I

also follow a ton of great injury analysts, many of whom have been on the show before. Some I still

need to get on here. Heck, I even hit up my buddy Ryan Parker, who's a physiotherapist. I get his take on certain injuries sometimes and he's gotten pretty big into fantasy the last couple of years. So I think now he's like expecting the questions when a big injury happens. But I think it's important to try to get as many takes on these injuries as possible and then you try to formulate your own opinion or

a consensus of what the most likely outcome is going to be and today's guest

He is on my list of trusted sources now as well

Somebody whose work I've sort of following the last couple years closely. He's a Stanford and Harvard trained sports surgeon

It's been featured on ESPN

and The Athletic and Yahoo, among other places. You can even see some of his content over at Fantasy

Pros as well. And you can follow him on Twitter at SportMD Analysis. So let me welcome to the show for the

first time, Deepak Chona. Deepak, thank you for being here, man. We have talked a bit on Twitter. I've wanted to get you on the show for a while now. And I think this is the perfect time to do it. We're right before the season, right before this final week of fantasy drafts. I'm hoping you can get us caught up on some of the notable injuries that are still lingering out there but welcome to the show man
