I have been drafting him everyone.  Now I am very concerned he may miss time with his headaches / concussion symptoms.  They have been lasting a while now.  Anyone else concerned?

I've seen his ADP drop so he is becoming a better value IMHO...it also helps the value of Fitz and Floyd...splitting targets between 2 is better than between 3.

I am concerned.  It took three weeks for him to get cleared and then he's back to practice for what, two days, and then misses the third due to headaches.  Scary stuff.

Yes.  This is concerning.  Concussions are no joke.

Can JJ run anything besides a 9 route?

Ladarius Green says it's nothing to worry about.

It's always a concern.  In recent years we have seen the ugly consequences of former players and seen players like Jahvid Best lose a career to it.  I think it's buyer beware with any player with a concussion issue.

I'm a bit worried, but it's not like he was being drafted as a top 10 WR. His ADP has some wiggle room, and I'll still take a chance if he falls on ne round lower than expected.

He's off my draft board.

How can you not be concerned?

A positive development, but I would need to see several weeks of uninterrupted, headache-free practices before I felt comfortable.

Scared to death... I already thought Floyd was going to be big this year... now I'd prioritize getting him even more.  Unless Brown is just the hands down best player on the board by a lot, I'm sure I'll go in a different direction.

I'm worried.  Didn't draft him but not because of the concussion, just because I liked another player more and he didn't make it back to me. But I'm definitely concerned about his concussions.
