Methods: Club medical staff at 91 professional football clubs annotated player injuries over two seasons. A specific injury audit questionnaire was used together with a weekly form that documented each clubs' current injury status.
Conclusion: Hamstring strains are common in football. In trying to reduce the number of initial and recurrent hamstring strains in football, prevention of initial injury is paramount. If injury does occur, the importance of differential diagnosis followed by the management of all causes of posterior thigh pain is emphasised. Clinical reasoning with treatment based on best available evidence is recommended.
Methods: Club medical staff at 91 professional football clubs annotated player injuries. A specific injury audit questionnaire was used together with a weekly form that documented each club's current injury status.
Conclusions: Players are at a greater risk of slight and minor injuries, overuse injuries, lower leg injuries (especially the Achilles tendon) and rectus femoris strains during the preseason period. Prevention of preseason injury is important to ensure availability of players for the commencement of the season and to decrease the risk of injury later in the season, we recommend the implementation of a risk management policy for this purpose. Areas requiring further investigation include methods of prevention for the common preseason injuries that have been identified, a detailed analysis of preseason and closed season training programmes, and a smaller study involving exposure data.
Building a football field mechanically can be learnt through practice. But creating a football field that makes business sense to your boss or to a client can be much harder. Here are our key football field analysis tips to ensure your football field meets industry standards.
The first tip is to show the standalone valuations and the takeover valuations separately. The top 4 values on the chart (EV/EBITDA CY2, P/E CY2, DCF, and the 52-week high-low range) show the value of this company as a standalone entity (i.e. as it currently is), whereas the bottom 3 values (transactions, % premium paid and DCF with synergies) are the potential values of the company if it was taken over. We can see that the top 4 techniques give a lower value, whereas the bottom 3 give a higher value. This is because any acquirer of a company in a takeover will have to pay a control premium. This football field shows clearly the takeover values being higher, giving readers confidence that our analysis provides some consistency of valuation across the different methods.
These industry norms will ensure your football field chart provides your clients with useful information, rather than a random selection of numbers that give them little advice. If you can include all or most of these tips in your chart, you will have created a football field chart that really adds value.

Where Petey fits into this is less clear, presumably at whichever LB position was responsible for covering the tight end or whatever. This stuff they throw out there in brief, jargon-rich dialogue is barely possible to draw out in terms of actual football schematics that make sense.

Running backs used to dominate the early picks in fantasy football drafts of past seasons. Fantasy players always wanted guys who would take on the majority of a team's workload, and in most leagues, you have to start two of them.
I provide my top 30 RB rankings for the 2023 fantasy football season here, and even deeper ranks from me are available at RotoBaller.com. Every draft is different, but after absorbing and reviewing my recommendations here, you will feel better prepared to navigate the RB position on draft day.
San Francisco's Christian McCaffrey remains a top 3 overall pick because of his outstanding dual-threat abilities. Last season, he stayed healthy and was only one of two fantasy RBs to score over 350 points and average over 21 points per game. No other RB scored more than 330 points or averaged over 19.3 points per game. McCaffrey has finished as a top 2 fantasy RB in three of the past five seasons and he is regarded as the biggest fantasy football prize at his position for those who land an early first-round pick.
