DonS 3,067 Posted October 1, 2018 Edelman finally comes off his suspension and will likely play on TNF against the Colts. Are you Edelman owners planning on plugging him in right away -- even on the dreaded TNF -- or will you wait a week to give him and Brady time to get back in sync? Added into the mix is the possibility that Gronk is out or at least limited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted October 1, 2018 Nothing dreaded about TNF, start him if you need someone to start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Simms 11 127 Posted October 1, 2018 Im not starting him over Landry as WR or Sony Michel as flex, but I wouldnt worry putting him in. I dont think him and Brady need time to get in sync Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
clean90 6 Posted October 1, 2018 I don't own him but if I did then I would have no issue with starting him immediately. I would not expect the Pats to be easing him back in. And as WR starved as the Pats are I would expect Edelman to put up some pretty good numbers right out of the gate, especially in PPR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bfros 53 Posted October 1, 2018 No reason to hold him out unless you have a better option. He's not coming off injury. He knows the offense. Great chemistry with Brady. No reason for Pats to ease him in. He'll be chomping at the bit to get out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted October 2, 2018 Hard to say dreaded Thursday night after what we witnessed last Thursday. I think Brady is chomping at the bits to throw to his little buddy again, especially with how frustrated he's been with his WRs. While he's coming off an ACL and a suspension, he looked good in the preseason. Gronk is on a gimpy ankle and a short week, I think he sits which means more targets for JE. Also, one of the hotter WW candidates this week, Keke Coutee, just lit up the Colts out of the slot on Sunday. I'm rolling Edelman out there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DonS 3,067 Posted October 2, 2018 Hard to say dreaded Thursday night after what we witnessed last Thursday. Yeah, last week was definitely insane. Hope the trend continues but in the past TNF has tended to be an offensive sh1tshow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richard3312 1 Posted October 2, 2018 I plugged him in my lineup already. I didnt draft and stash him to wait. Brady will target him 15 times this week. He has missed Edelman greatly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BTL99 34 Posted October 2, 2018 Starting Edelman in 2 leagues confidently. I don't see how you can not start him unless you are staked at WR. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackjohn 31 Posted October 2, 2018 I'm debating between Edelman and T. Hill. Both seem to be medium risk, high reward. I could also sit Hunt vs Jax. Quite the quandry... probably going to go Hunt and Hill, since I'm playing an injury riddled team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jackjohn 31 Posted October 2, 2018 After doing some quick research. It appears that Thursday night games are really no different. League avg score per game is 48 in 2018. Wk 1 Phi vs Atl=30 pts, wk2 Bal vs Cin=57 pts, wk3 Nyj vs Cle 38 pts, wk 4 Min vs StL 69 pts. For an average of 48.5. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Byrdman5 104 Posted October 2, 2018 That would certainly explain it. Previously didn't every team get a turn on TNF? Is this no longer the case? It's the same. But the NFL said they were picking better matchups. Like primetime matchups. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Richard3312 1 Posted October 3, 2018 I agree Edelman over boyd and not sure why that's even a question if it's a ppr league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superbowlbears 1 Posted October 3, 2018 I'm firing up Edelman this week. (TY more than likely being out this week also helped with my decision.) I assume they won't hold him back at all and the Edelman/Gordon combo could prove worthwhile for the both of them. Also, I think Edelman will probably be playing with a bit of a chip on his shoulder after the susp. TNF will be the perfect stage for him to go off IMO.

jgcrawfish 232 Posted October 3, 2018 No one is worried about the "PED Dropoff"? There's evidence of guys who get caught for PEDs like Edelman not producing as well after they are off the juice. I agree about a lot of points noted above, but putting in a guy who has zero game or practice time in the last 4 weeks and might not have that "extra something" gives me pause...

Richard3312 1 Posted October 4, 2018 Edelman is about 4 hours and 22 minutes from reminding people that Brady to Edelman is like bread and butter. All ppr leagues I would start Edelman.
