tonorator Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 what are people thinking of this guy headed into the season? sleeper? bust? he's got owens and evans to throw to now and a nice rookie tight end. at 25 with a couple of years under his belt, is he primed to break out? projections?

Gopher Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 I actually targeted him in RFA this year in at least one dynasty league, not so much because I think he's a sleeper to have a "break-out season", but because I knew I wouldn't be able to afford some of the bigger names at the QB position. On the positive side, I like the fact that they've added some weapons on offense... TO, the rookie tight end, Hardy has another year under his belt, Evans can be the #2 guy (rather than the #1, which never really fit his style as a WR... big play guy who is kind of hit-and-miss, fantasy-wise, but can still make the big play now and then). I mean, if Josh Reed is your #2 WR, which he has been in recent years (at least on paper), you're hurting for pass-catching weapons. I think they've got more weapons now than they've had in quite some time. Negatives (which is why Edwards' ceiling is somewhat limited, and nobody is going to declare him as a huge sleeper) include the fact that they play in Buffalo, as well as three road games in NY, NE, and Miami each year, so weather is usually going to be a factor at some point in the season. I like his chances to possibly scratch the top 15 for fantasy QB's, but I don't see him putting up numbers much higher than that. In other words, a decent backup in most leagues, and maybe a solid "platoon" starter in 16-team leagues, where you can switch him in and out of your lineup, depending on matchups/weather.

Seahawks21 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 TO makes him project to be a bottom end starter. Evans and Owens may very well be the best group of starting NFL receivers on paper. Edwards is certainly a guy I'll be looking for as a backup, with possible start potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) Evans could be the prize here. T.O will draw coverage and maybe make Evans a guy that isnt good for just the 3 games a year that he scores a 80 yd td.

piratesownninjas Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Evans and Owens may very well be the best group of starting NFL receivers on paper. Moss/Welker Marshall/Royal Fitz/Boldin Colston/Moore Jennings/Driver With the Pats and Cards clearly ahead of the rest of the league.

nuke'em ttg Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Moss/Welker Marshall/Royal Fitz/Boldin/Breaston Colston/Moore Jennings/Driver With the Pats and Cards clearly ahead of the rest of the league. not ta mention all of TO's drops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westrpw Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I think he will do very well this year. Only thing concerning me about edwards is his offensive line, or lack thereof. He has good receivers, good running game, and a decent defense. Problem is he plays in the AFC East: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 not ta mention all of TO's drops Those were the Romo's fault. Or Garrett's. Or Wade Wilson's Or Ray Sherman's. Or Parcells' for leaving. Or Jerry's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustOfBeenDrunk Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Moss/Welker 1A Marshall/Royal shouldn't be in the equation Fitz/Boldin 1B Colston/Moore worth a mention Jennings/Driver just above average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
