A little out of my depth on this one, if I’m being completely honest.
We know a pulmonary embolism can be life threatening, and yes it can take a long time to recover to full (6+ months).
Chris Olave is still recovering. Hard to know his current conditioning level for 2026.

[Derek Brown @DBro_FFB]

@NoisyHuevos yeah they must have hired the same PR firm the Patriots have used this offseason. a large bag of not good.

[Derek Brown @DBro_FFB]

last year per @FantasyPtsData

Inside the ten yard line passing rate:

PHI - 32nd
NE - 15th

A.J. Brown could set a new career high for receiving touchdowns in a season in 2026 (previous - 11)

Get used to reading this regarding Jonathon Brooks

[Jeff Mueller, PT, DPT @jmthrivept]

I think this was much more than just a simple ankle debridement (clean-up) procedure. No specifics revealed yet on Alec Pierce but the timeframe for recovery, plus video of him walking/limping 9-10+ weeks out, indicates a more significant procedure.
Risky bet for 1st half of 2026

[Derek Brown @DBro_FFB]

Report I needed to bump him up the ranks

[Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter]

Packers TE Tucker Kraft expects to start in Week 1 with no restrictions from the torn ACL he suffered last season.

The #Panthers expect T-Mac to be ready for camp in July, per a team spokesperson.

[Derek Brown @DBro_FFB]

@DJBerg0 yep

[Derek Brown @DBro_FFB]

My worries about Tetairoa McMillan for 2026 have nothing to do with Tet & his talent.

It is related to Bryce Young & passing volume. 2025 Stats to illuminate my worries:

Weeks 3-18:

Young ⬆️ 35 passing attempts only once

Only 2 gms with ⬆️ 225 passing yds

3 games ⬆️ 200 passing yards

8 games with 25 pass att or ⬇️

5th in neutral script rushing %

Even trailing they were run heavy
(6th in rushing %)
