Pro Football Doc Launches Free Subscription Service Delivering Unparalleled Injury Analysis for Fantasy, DFS and Wagering
As the go-to resource for injury insight and impact, profootballdoc.com provides real-time information to help fans make more informed decisions before and on Game Days
SAN DIEGO, Sept. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr. David Chao, aka the Pro Football Doc, today announced the launch of a free subscription service that provides reliable, real-time and in-depth injury insight and analysis designed to help fans make more informed fantasy, daily fantasy and wagering decisions throughout the football season.
A former 17-year head team doctor for the San Diego Chargers and board-certified orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Chao has become a sought-after and dependable resource for fans and media by quickly using game video to provide an opinion on the type and severity of a player's injury – as well as the short- and long-term impact for that athlete and his team. With a proven accuracy over 95%, these actionable insights aren't available from teams, media or elsewhere.
"Our goal is to provide insider knowledge that fans cannot get anywhere else, give it to them in real-time, place it within the larger context and allow them to make the most informed decisions in an easy to use online platform," Chao said. "I'm never going to tell anyone who to pick, but I will give the relevant injury information to give them an edge."
While Dr. Chao's Twitter feed (@ProFootballDoc) will continue to provide followers with injury insight, this new service will provide enhanced information that takes subscribers deeper. Features include:
- Weekly Injury Index™. A proprietary, in-depth match-up-based assessment of each team's overall health, arriving at least 24 hours prior to each game. It includes breakdowns by offense and defense, as well as rushing and passing.
- Real-time analysis. Fast, thorough analysis of breaking news, including real-time alerts during games throughout the regular season and playoffs.
- Videos. On game days, a pregame video, halftime video and postgame video cover analysis of the latest injury information, helping subscribers be first to act.
- Field View. Subscribers can see a team's health, position-by-position, on a simulated depth chart – providing quick, clear information at a glance about players and the relative health of an offense or defense.
- Player/Team Search. Easily find specific player and team analysis with an advanced search feature.
- Watch List. Functionality allows fans to set up information about specific players or teams, such as those on a fantasy roster.
- Notification. Alerts about specific players, teams, fantasy lineups or wagering interests.
Injuries remain one of the biggest unknowns in professional sports, and access to up-to-date injury insights may be the most important piece of information for fantasy and daily fantasy players. Dr. Chao uses his orthopedic knowledge and experience with NFL teams to analyze information. His video analysis technique was developed from over 17 years of studying game film after seeing a player on the field, on the sideline, in the locker room and after MRI.
According to research published by the NFL, there were more than six reported injuries per game from 2015-2017 that resulted in removal from participation and inability to return to play or inability to take full part in football activities following the injury. Not only are these reported injuries analyzed but also the numerous unreported injuries that can affect a team or player's performance.
This information will become even more valuable as wagering expands beyond the 11 U.S. states currently approved, as in-game wagering takes flight and as prop wagering expands in the U.S.
