Fantasy Football Injury Updates
Reportedly ramping up this week. Lean towards a slow process that takes ~4 weeks before they strongly consider putting him in games. Data suggests strong per-touch production but high re-injury risk upon return. Strongly suspect major load management throughout the regular season.
Concussion. Average ~8 days (1 missed game). Given 10 day period between Thursday game and next Sunday, data slightly favors playing Week 5. WRs don’t tend to see a dip upon return.
