urban2014 1,741 Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 SB MVP after starting the season banned. In PPR he will eat, in standard leagues, not so much. Depending on who the Pat's get in the draft,and offseason Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dontclapGonorrhea 370 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Since 2013 here are his catch totals. The question will remain will he play in 16 games? He has only done that 3 times in his career. Never has eclipsed over 7 Td's. He would be a solid flex play. I think the patriots are going to ride Sony hard next year though. 105 92 61 98 DNP 74 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMcP 8,278 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Well if he stops cheating, I could see 16 from him next year 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BrianM 1,238 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 I think he's got one more big fantasy year in him, provided he's not hurt, but he's a decent injury risk of course. Can't ignore the suspension either, if he gets popped again, well, you knew it was possible. High risk WR2. Gotta see what they bring on from FA/Draft since there's a lot of free agents here. Gronk is the big domino, and i think he'll be professional enough to let them know sooner rather than later, so they can plan accordingly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think you can ignore the suspension, he was using to get back from injury faster and has been up front about that. It's not a Josh Gordon or M. Bryant situation. He'll be DND for me like the rest of the Pats, due to homers in leagues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BMcP 8,278 Posted February 8, 2019 Share Posted February 8, 2019 Thanks for the article. I’m glad Patriots fans are also willing to address the topic of Edelman’s cheating head-on, so it won’t endlessly be blamed on so-called “haters.” From a completely cynical, cost-benefit standpoint, I agree with Mr. Evans: the benefits far outweigh the nearly non-existent stigma associated with cheating via taking prohibited drugs. However, that doesn’t for a moment make it an honorable choice - or a fair choice from the perspective of Edelman’s fellow competitors on the field, and of fans of the game. I do hope Julian sets an example, though, for fellow athletes who decide to cheat to get ahead by actually admitting his wrongdoing and taking ownership of it. Thank you, shakestreet, for shining a light on this - I genuinely appreciate it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheating is a term that gets thrown around pretty loosely, but still no one denies Edelman did them and I think that's where you aren't understanding. The discussion came and went on it, the only ones who care to even talk about it now or bring it up are those who only care about having their hatred of New England validated.

The discussion came and went on it, the only ones who care to even talk about it now or bring it up are those who only care about having their hatred of New England validated. The problem is people who only go into a thread to claim "Cheater alert! Cheater alert!" People that refer to them as 'Cheatriots', 'PEDelman', 'Belicheat', etc and really have nothing of substance to offer except for a tiresome narrative that they are regurgitating from ESPN. Edelman got suspended for PED use. Cool. We know. We've talked about it a lot, WHEN IT HAPPENED. Get over it. Move on. That's my point. What if you were trying to have an intelligent conversation about the Steelers and whoever you're talking to can say nothing but "nah nah nah boo boo, Ben the rapist!" Does that show that they have a brain at all? Or that they are just attempting to troll the situation? Do you want to continue the conversation or try to find someone else that isn't a schmuck to talk to? Edelman is: 1. A consistent ppr beast 2. a cheater by NFL policy Both of these are facts So why is one comment more intelligent or relevant for discussion than the other if a person is opining in an Edelman thread? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not only would I love to hear answers from our resident editorial staff to these questions, I’d further add why are we forbidden from factoring in the risk of a future suspension for PED use in a 2019 outlook thread when the player in question just missed a quarter of a season for PED use?

No one is demanding anything, man. And no one is confused. I asked you a simple question and you've intentionally avoided it. I guarantee you I could ask anyone else what team they root for in a friendly conversation and not one would turn it into a Code of Conduct debate. Unbelievable.

SharkSwimmer 4,885 Posted February 9, 2019 Share Posted February 9, 2019 Hall of Fame voters in baseball have not been kind to known cheaters. I am not sure the same will be true of football. Edelman's regular season numbers are nowhere close to being hall of fame caliber. His post-season numbers are. As for 2019, he'll probably be pretty good in ppr if he does not get hurt or suspended again. Standard he's kinda meh. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
