FanDuel renews partnership with Sports Injury Central

Per the partnership, Sports Injury Central will continue to act as the Official Injury Expert of FanDuel, providing the operator with injury content and updates for bettors and daily fantasy players.  

Sports Injury Central covers US-based sports, including the NFL, CFB, NBA and MLB. The company relies on a panel of five former professional team doctors with a combined 100+ years of experience in the NFL, NBA and MLB.  

The team of doctors is led by Dr David Chao; a Harvard-educated orthopedic surgeon who was the head team physician with the San Diego Chargers for 17 years. He is affectionately known as Pro Football Doc. 

Sports Injury Central President and Co-Founder Craig Dado said: “We are thrilled to partner with the leader in sports betting and daily fantasy sports. 

“FanDuel will provide Sports Injury Central broader exposure to bettors, fantasy players, and fans. We are happy to give FanDuel customers a competitive advantage with access to our injury data and insights.” 

The injury updates provider summarises the health of each team by providing proprietary SIC Scores, an injury grading system powered by algorithms that incorporate the health of every team and individual players.  

FanDuel says SIC Scores give its players an advantage when selecting fantasy teams and placing bets involving specific players and teams.  

In addition to SIC Scores, Sports Injury Central produces other content including: long-form articles about the health status of players and teams; real-time updates about the status and effectiveness of players in-game; field views to visually demonstrate the overall health of a team; pre-game and halftime videos; weekly podcasts; searchable player and team databases; and SIC Picks for recommended wagers.
