Late-Round Perspectives: Dr. Jeff Mueller

In this podcast, JJ chats with Jeff Mueller, a physical therapist who specializes in analyzing NFL player injuries for fantasy football platforms. They tackle the backlash injury analysts often face on social media, explore the idea of "injury proneness" in players, and discuss how injury timelines are assessed. This season has seen a surprising number of wide receiver injuries, which they also examine. Mueller points out that injury analysis is based on probabilities, much like other fantasy football forecasts, and highlights the crucial role of team medical staff and recovery programs in determining when players can return to the field. The conversation also covers specific cases, including Jonathan Taylor and Christian McCaffrey, providing valuable insights into their expected returns and potential performance.
