Study finds high rate of degenerative brain disease among ex-NFL players, potentially higher than previously shown
This article concerns a public health study on CTE prevalence in deceased former NFL players and has no bearing on any active player's fantasy value, usage, or roster status. Tom Brady and Joe Montana are both long-retired and not fantasy-relevant in any current format; their inclusion in the extraction appears to be an error since neither is mentioned in the source article. There is no injury, depth chart, or performance news here that affects lineup decisions this week or any week.
A new study says at least one in four ex-NFL players who died between 2016 and 2021 had a degenerative brain disease but the true figure could be much higher.
