✕ AVOID

Answerth scored just 49 in a heartbreaking 2-point Brisbane loss, missing his 52 BE, but the SC number is irrelevant — he suffered a confirmed concussion from a Kozzie Pickett bump in Q4. This is his second concussion in recent weeks and mandatory stand-down protocols mean he will miss multiple rounds. If you own him, trade him out immediately; do not hold through a concussion-related absence at $311.6k.
