This is too bad. The guy is really talented. The one healthy year he had, he was one of the best WRs in the NFL. Big hit for his dynasty value - worth a flier, though.

I'd rather have you take the question to the appropriate forum.

Shaping up to be like Jahvid Best.
Two very young players who have shown such an inticing flash.
You have to hold Rice. As a WR, you would think he is less likely to have another concussion than, say, a RB or LBer. Collie has been free and clear all year so there is that comparison.
Man, with al the emphasis on concussions the past few years it makes you wonder if half the league wasn't playing with them on a weekly basis in the past.

Personally, I'd rather have Crabtree.

It's hard to take any big hits when you never catch any balls.

wow, seems like a lot of IRs/or pretty much IRs this year....I know this isn't lockout related, but prob lead to others.

So how does this change the Sea WR outlook? Best to own Baldwin? Tarvaris isn't throwing down field much since suffering the chest injury. Isn't Baldwin the slot receiver who runs the shorter routes?

Neck and neck. Both are big young guys that have been injured a lot. Tossup. Although I tend to lean toward Rice right now.

He's still the reception leader on the team. I think he went in to last week's game tied with Rice, who was in 2 fewer games. But Jackson locks onto Rice and doesn't like to throw the ball unless a WR is clearly open. I think Baldwin will be the biggest beneficiary.I'm not sold on Obamanu. He's had a lot of chances to take a starting spot and never seems to make the jump. He plays well at times and is a ST beast, but he's just never awed anyone for a long period of time.'Cheesedawg said:

Part of BMW's problems are that TJ won't throw a jump ball for him because he's too worried about throwing a pick. Hopefully after the last drive of the game last week, the coaches will stress that he's 6'5" and can out jump most DBs for the ball and try getting the ball to him more even if he looks covered. However, Mike has also failed to impress when the ball has been thrown to him so maybe he's got a case of second-time sophomore jitters.'sycamore said:

Thank you, Dr. Phenix. I'm sure Rice is receiving inaccurate advice from some dude or women dressed in a white coat with some strange MD after their name. Any reasonable person knows that you receive medical advice on a fantasy football forum.

or maybe you have no idea what i do or what i know or where i get info. for the record i'm a DA who has heard more case study on this topic than you could even grasp, im not a doctor but i am well informed. but im sure you know everything, what do you do?fact is the only reason players do not play through concussion or are not allowed, like ALL of the players did years ago
, are lawsuits. no other reason what so ever.tell me, when you were playing football growing up, how often did you hear the word "concussion"? But keep preaching safety as the reason they do this.
also, no one said these players had to get paid millions to play football. no one, just like no one told me i had to deal with death threats or what not from nasty criminals i try to put away. certain things apply to certain occupations, injuries are one of them in football.
maybe a football forum is good place to get info, if your open minded enough to not think you know all the answers.

As I understand it they get tests given after a concussion and for most (if they fail) it's just, well we'll try again next week. If it's more serious though, they could be out four weeks. There also is a limit on the number of concussions a player can have within a year, then they have to sit. Teams don't have to discuss all the details of an injury to the public nor does a player. What they have to do is more formulaic-player X out due to Y. They usually divulge plenty of info, but it wouldn't be so rare for them to hide some info from us here.I had a concussion as a kid 30 years ago.or maybe you have no idea what i do or what i know or where i get info. for the record i'm a DA who has heard more case study on this topic than you could even grasp, im not a doctor but i am well informed. but im sure you know everything, what do you do?fact is the only reason players do not play through concussion or are not allowed, like ALL of the players did years ago

Re tough guy stuff, I've heard and read of veterans that aren't fans of the diagnosis "post traumatic stress disorder" that they think was normal for any war and... I wasn't there, I'll take their word for it. I'm not wearing Rice's helmet either. If his head is messed up, I'm gonna roll with what he says too.

Plus Obomanu is coming off knee and ankle injuries suffered only two weeks ago. He was limited in practice last week and received only 4 targets despite Rice's absence in week 12. In the first two weeks of the season when Rice was also missing, a healthy Tarvaris threw 6 targets at Obomanu each week. He caught 2 of 6 in wk 1 for 12 yds, and in wk 2 he caught 4 for 35. No TD's either week (has 2 for the season). Baldwin in the first two weeks: 6 targets, 4 catches, 85 yds and a TD in week 1. 2 targets, 1 catch, 4 yards, no TD's in week 2. In week 12 he had 10 targets with 5 catches for 60 yards and no TDs. I would think it will be mostly a heavy dose of Lynch tonight vs Philly. I could see Baldwin as a WR3 though.

As a DA, do you think I should trade for Rice in a dynasty league? Is a 2012 2nd too much?or maybe you have no idea what i do or what i know or where i get info. for the record i'm a DA who has heard more case study on this topic than you could even grasp, im not a doctor but i am well informed. but im sure you know everything, what do you do?fact is the only reason players do not play through concussion or are not allowed, like ALL of the players did years ago

I try.i'm sure some disagree, but concussions are an injury that you can get hitting your head on a cupboard door if it hits you when you open it. so to think they have not been happening in the nfl for years is not wise, they just didnt decide to just start now. with all the studies now and days it is a measure to prevent issues that can arise in a lawsuit because some of my colleagues are looking for anyways to make a quick buck any way they can.trust me when i say this, you will hear of many cases against the nfl soon enough. the nfl is already preparing for its counter argument with the measures its been taking the past couple years.
if you think they are doing this for the players safety, you under estimate the power of the dollar. because if just one former player sues the nfl and wins, your looking at a disaster for the nfl.
Well at least he is honest.or maybe you have no idea what i do or what i know or where i get info. for the record i'm a DA who has heard more case study on this topic than you could even grasp, im not a doctor but i am well informed. but im sure you know everything, what do you do?fact is the only reason players do not play through concussion or are not allowed, like ALL of the players did years ago
