mulhollandvelvet 997 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 If Edelman is done for the year I wonder what that does for Hogan? WR4 with some WR3 PPR upside or is that too lofty? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Caucasian Sensation 463 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 Look at the Pittsburgh game last year in the playoffs and I think you will get a sense of what could happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Axe Elf 2,540 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 If Edelman is out for the year, Hogan makes it onto the end of a Draft Masters bench, but I wouldn't want to rely on starting him week to week in a managed league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Caucasian Sensation 463 Posted August 26, 2017 Author Share Posted August 26, 2017 From Football Guys/Just now...... Edelman's injury was a non-contact knee buckle when he was planting his foot. We can hope for the best but assume the worst, as Edelman looked a bit dejected on the cart. The biggest immediate beneficiary would be Chris Hogan, who would likely get the nod in two wide sets, but we shouldn't overlook the possibility that Brandin Cooks gets more short targets if Edelman is out. While Edelman is very productive, Danny Amendola and even Rex Burkhead, who has experience in the slot, can provide some of his tactical value. This wouldn't be a crippling injury for the Patriots pass offense, so there is likely a net gain for at least 1-2 pass catchers in this offense and only a small hit to Tom Brady. The Patriots have a plethora of talented pass catchers and personnel packages to put defenses at a disadvantage and Edelman isn't as essential as Rob Gronkowski or Cooks to this offense's success.

The Pats o kind of goes back to last year now with Cooks replacing Edelman really. Edelman going down should really help the next guy in the slot and other guys who do their work over the middle, Hogan is still just a deep threat.

I have a feeling he will be boom or bust, so it might be hard to depend on him week to week. But worth a roster spot, because he may end up being a favorite of Brady.

Finally Detroit Wins 666 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Michael Salfino @MichaelSalfino Guys the numbers don’t lie. Hogan has 57.9% of targets in slot since 2014 and a 96.8 rating on them. 91.8 overall. He’s the slot WR now. 12:24 PM · Aug 26, 2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Savatage79 2,428 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Yea I love what hogan does. Call me crazy but every time the man is in petty much he's lighting it up, I just recall so many highlights of hogan just exploding. Grabbed him up already Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jtbgator 1,869 Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Tough to know who to drop for him this early. So dropped my kicker until MRI confirms. If anything, I'll trade Hogan to Edelman owner. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Before he came to the Pats He was in the slot 50% of the time with the bills. He had to move over for Edelman, he was the WR3 on the pats this moves him to WR2 and he is the better talent. Pats will utilize him with 150 targets up for grabs now. Everyone thinks Edelman only worked the slot which he didn't. Hogan spent some time in the slot as well as amendola.. In 2014, Edelman spent 42% of his time in the slot, and increased to 51.2% in 2015 and increased again to 53.5% of the time in 2016.
