        RB Injuries | Draft Sharks Injury Predictor

        Updated on

        How do you assess injury risk in an RB? If you’re like most people you have a handful of players who seem like they’re always hurt, and you tend to avoid them.

        Well, some RB injuries are more predictable because of the player’s injury history. But the type of injuries he has suffered matters more than frequency. And there’s another factor that should be obvious – workload.

        The more often a RB carries the ball, the more likely he is to get hurt. That doesn’t mean the Injury Predictor just lists RBs in order of projected carries. But that projected workload is a key input into the formula that applies injury-risk levels to every player at the position.

        Those projections combine with the most comprehensive database of NFL injuries anywhere, with details on every relevant player injury from the past 30 years. Our statistical model factors in those injury histories and the projected workloads among more than 1,000 variables to calculate the risk on every player.

        The result: You find out who’s most likely to go down at some point this year, and how likely that player is to miss significant time.
