Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:17.4

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score.

0:39.1

Thank you so much for downloading and listening to the show today. A very important episode. We got draft season in full swing. You're trying to figure out who to take. We got injuries complicating those decisions. We got some guys rehabbing. When are they going to be back? We also have new injuries popping up. So I thought this is the perfect time.

0:42.0

Let's get our old buddy, Edwin Porras, on the show.

0:45.2

You know him from Fantasy Points, the Injury Prone podcast.

0:48.4

You can also get his injury prone draft guide and playbook.

0:52.2

You can find links to that on his Twitter page at FB Injury Doc. But he has definitely become one of my most trusted injury analysts that I like

0:56.4

to look to. Most years, I have him on the show in the off season. This year, I thought it would

1:02.1

be extra valuable to get his thoughts right before the big draft week. So Edwin, welcome back to the show,

1:07.5

man. How you been? Justin, I have been fantastic. I really appreciate you having me on on it's always fun coming on here and chatting about these injuries and i like talking to sharp people before my drafts right so i'm basically going to uh suck all of the energy out of your brain and me and the things that i say really is just a ploy so that i can get your take so that i can basically win all of my draft so yes thank you, thank you for welcoming me on to do just that. No, I always say when you come on, these are like my favorite episodes because I don't have to talk as much. I get to just tee you up and we get all your knowledge about these injuries, right? So let's do that here. It does seem like we're not getting as many big injuries in the preseason games, which is nice. You know, guys still getting hurt in practice, though, which is unfortunate. And we found out yesterday, my dude, Curtis Samuel on the Bills, he's dealing with turf toe. Sean McDermott called him week to week. Edwin, how worried should we be here? Fantasy managers worrying about Samuel. I have a lot of shares of him,

2:01.1

but also as a Bill's fan here, tell me, Curtis Samuel has a chance to lead this receiving

2:06.1

core this season. Is he going to be okay, Edwin? That's right. I forgot. You're a Bill's fan.

2:11.2

Man, that's, you know what? My brain is so scrambled all the time that when he, when I put

2:16.1

the tweet out initially about Curtis Samuel and his toe I actually did the the Washington commanders hashtag and I had to like

2:23.3

go back and edit it and I was like oh yeah he's not there anymore but no okay so yeah what we

2:26.9

know about Curtis Samuel right and I'm going to ask you Justin I should probably know is this

2:31.2

was this something that popped up last week or was this just this week? Because for some

2:34.6

reason, I feel like it was just this week. This popped up a day or two ago. McDermott referred to it as

2:40.1

week to week. I saw at least one of the Bill's beatwriters trying to break down like the wording that he

2:45.6

used saying that in the past when he said week to week, the guy has come back within a couple of weeks. But when he said out weeks week the guy has come back within a couple of weeks but when

2:51.5

he said out weeks the guy has stayed out longer than a couple weeks i think that might be a

2:57.2

little silly they're trying to read between the lines and get a little cute with it there i think
