weepaws 2,460 Posted December 17, 2015 Depends on the rest of the week , it's a wait and see . If he playes and you own him than I would think you would play him . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jwiLx 2 Posted December 17, 2015 I just snagged him just in case. Now if he plays, I have to pick 2 out of him, M. Bryant, and Hopkins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted December 17, 2015 I think that he will play some, but will be on a short leash. They can't play Hankerson because he doesn't know the play book and even guys like Amendola are dinged up. They are short on backs, so they can't rely on the run game either. With that said, if they get up early, then he will be pulled. I have him on my bench and I am not sure if I will let him off of it next week, but I have Hopkins, Decker and AJ Green already.

dschddny 0 Posted December 17, 2015 Seems there's a decent chance he plays this week. The bigger question of course is whether or not to use him. I'm debating starting him over Amari Cooper (home vs Green Bay). What do you think? Crazy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SaintsInDome2006 128 Posted December 17, 2015 If Edelman is playing then why sign Hank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maulers1973 117 Posted December 17, 2015 I don't think he'll play this week. I need the Pats to lose this week and Bengals and Broncos to win so that the Pats will have something to play for the last two weeks. I need him and Gronk on the field as I'm in contention for the overall season title. However, without these two on the field my hopes are slim and none.

JackARoot 2 Posted December 17, 2015 I don't think he plays because the Pats have already clinched their division, but I'm keeping an eye on it. Right now I have Amendola starting this week over Decker, but that could change before game time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimaveli 119 Posted December 17, 2015 Hank is out for the year so he's not on the table for this year. That's a Pats signing. AKA he'll be awesome out of nowhere next year or get cut/end up with the Bills. I think Edleman is going to play this week. If he plays, it'll be because he's ready to play. And I think he needs flex consideration..especially if you're staring at a questionable starter in a flex spot (IE: Hillman, Marty Bryant, Adams, Dez). I have him in my sights as a replacement for Hillman/CJA if he looks good in practice today and/or tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He was on IR for Atlanta, but they released him with an injury settlement, which means that he can sign and play with another team. He passed his physical and is practicing today for the Patriots. They signed Hankerson to add depth to a group that has very little right now. The did the same with Leonard Johnson, who played last week. Edelman is probably going to play, but I would not trust him to get enough snaps to be viable if you have some good options. If you need to take a risk during playoffs, then I could see taking a chance. I am not. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Nice 40 Posted December 17, 2015 He wont play this week. He "may" play vs jets and final week just to get him some conditioning and game time. I wouldnt expect him to help your fantasy team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But it would be a very Pats thing for them to find treasure where a team like Atlanta saw trash. Too bad they don't care about our fantasy teams. If so, Bill could show up and say 'look guys, Julian's totally fine and we're gonna use him a bunch this week. And we're playing the Titans. Get involved.'. Or 'we're just farting around in practice. Julian broke his foot a few weeks ago. He's not playing anytime soon. Do something else.'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have Hillman at flex, but if Edelman plays I think starting him over a Hillman or CJA has a better reward for the risk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dschddny 0 Posted December 23, 2015 So now it's looking like there's no chance he plays in Week 16? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted December 23, 2015 So now it's looking like there's no chance he plays in Week 16? Pretty much. I think that they might roll out more Hankerson, who had 10 plays last week with no targets. I think that they will sit Amendola and Edelman this week with Edelman having a chance to get some snaps next week to shake off some rust. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
phillygrrl08 139 Posted December 23, 2015 So now it's looking like there's no chance he plays in Week 16? I haven't read that anywhere but I can't see Edelman getting significant playing time if he plays. The Pats need to win one of their last two to clinch home field advantage in the playoffs, and the only team that could challenge them for that is Cincy, who plays Denver this week. To me it makes sense to limit Edelman this week, see how much he is needed if at all week 17, and try to rest those who are healing for what will probably be a long run in the playoffs.
