On this episode of The Injured List Podcast, we welcome Dan Mader of Operation Domination and The Fantasy Football Advice Network for an in-depth conversation combining sports medicine analysis with fantasy football insight.

We break down featured athletes from the NFL Draft and discuss how injury history, recovery status, medical concerns, and landing spots may affect their future fantasy value. We also review several NFL players coming off injuries from last season who carry meaningful fantasy relevance heading into the year.

This episode is designed to help fantasy players, sports fans, and athlete advocates better understand how injuries can influence performance, workload, availability, and draft-day decision-making. Some players may be undervalued because of injury concerns, while others may carry more risk than their ADP suggests.

With Dan’s fantasy expertise and The Injured List’s medically backed perspective, we look at the bigger picture behind injury recovery, player projections, and realistic expectations for the upcoming season.

A must-listen for anyone preparing for fantasy football season or looking for a smarter way to evaluate injured and returning NFL players.

NeuroGuard+ Mouthguards

Elevating Athlete Safety and Performance

Dr. Hutchinson created the NeuroGuard+ as a means to maintain your physiological jaw position regardless of your bite. The appliance is designed to optimize your upper–lower jaw relationship to improve your strength, your balance, your oxygen intake, and drastically lower your chance of a concussion. Unlike traditional mouthguards, NeuroGuard+ is medically patented and designed to reduce G-forces from impact. It helps athletes maintain physiologic jaw alignment, increase strength, and perform at their best, making it a future-ready solution for athlete safety.
