ABearWithFurniture Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 The Patriots "have done extensive preparation" this week to prepare Julian Edelman as the backup quarterback for Week 3 against the Texans. If Jimmy Garoppolo (shoulder) can't play, rookie Jacoby Brissett will get the start Thursday night. With no other quarterback on the roster, Edelman is the next best thing after he played quarterback in college at Kent State. There have even been some whispers Edelman could have a package of plays for him at quarterback this week. With passing stats as a potential bonus, Edelman is a must-start in fantasy this week. He threw a 51-yard touchdown to Danny Amendola in the 2014 playoffs. ~ Ian Rapoport on Twitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert terni Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) Ok so will his snap count be limited at WR if he is the backup qb? And would he get pts for pass yards if he is only recognized as a WR ? Edited September 21, 2016 by robert terni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeductiveNun Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ok so will his snap count be limited at WR if he is the backup qb? And would he get pts for pass yards if he is only recognized as a WR ?Why not? If he ran an option pass he would get passing stats. If he lines up and plays QB he should get points for that as well. Unless your scoring system explicitly states he wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABearWithFurniture Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 He'd just put the ball up in the air to Gronk and Amendola every play...or do a handoff. D.J. Foster is probably the key play here... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he lines up and plays QB he should get points for that as well. Unless your scoring system explicitly states he wouldn't. I'd say he SHOULD get those points, but it depends on your league setup. Do WR usually get points for passing yards/TDs? Our league awards all offensive players points using he same values.

Dolphin_Akie Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 What are people's thoughts on the offense for Pats tonight? Garroppolo is listed as doubtful so Brissett will start. Can you trust your guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awahl63 Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 i'm benching Bennett for Allen so Martellus will inevitably go off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Pat!!! Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Report saying Brissett starts and JimmyG is going to be active and dress as the back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montana is da Man Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I want to see Edelman at QB. He's the only Patriot I'm starting this week. I'd start Blount if he was on any of my rosters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert terni Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 now i read JimmyG not dressing up..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 TNF always a crap shoot. No Jimmy G, possibly no Gronk, agiainst Watt? Glad I don't have any players to decide on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdko Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Is it worth starting Edelman just for the hilarity/upside of possibly having a QB in your WR slot? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert terni Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Ya i decided after a long debate all morning to sit Edelman in favor of Latavious murray BUT I also have Quincy..So If marshall or decker sits may actually start Quincy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
