NFL INJURIES ARE ALREADY PILING UP…JV is joined by injury expert Dr. Deepak Chona to break down some of the biggest injuries across the NFL and what they mean for fantasy football heading into the 2026 season. Jeremiyah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain that could threaten his Week 1 availability and make his current fantasy ADP increasingly risky, while Jordan Tyson’s latest hamstring injury raises serious concerns after multiple issues with the same hamstring over the past year. JV and Dr. Chona also discuss why Luther Burden’s groin injury shouldn’t scare fantasy managers away, whether Malik Nabers can return to elite production early in the season following his ACL tear, and how much managers should expect these players to be limited even after returning to the field. The guys then go rapid fire through some of the biggest injured names in fantasy football, including Emeka Egbuka, Tyler Warren, George Kittle, Alec Pierce, Tucker Kraft, and Breece Hall, deciding who they’re drafting and who they’re staying away from. Plus, Dr. Chona reveals why Josh Downs and Ladd McConkey are two of his favorite fantasy targets heading into the season. From recovery timelines and reinjury risk to fantasy ADP, breakout candidates, players to avoid, and how injuries could reshape the opening weeks of the season, JV and Dr. Deepak Chona break down everything fantasy managers need to know before their 2026 drafts.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction1:37 - Jeremiyah Love5:34 - Jordan Tyson11:51 - Luther Burden14:47 - Malik Nabers17:46 - Fantasy Injury Rapid Fire (Draft or Pass)📱 Follow The JV Show:https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show📱 Follow Dr. Chona:https://sportsmedanalytics.com#NFL #FantasyFootball #NFLInjuries #JeremiyahLove #JordanTyson #LutherBurden #MalikNabers #EmekaEgbuka #GeorgeKittle #TuckerKraft #BreeceHall #LaddMcConkey #JoshDowns #NFLNews #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow
