Who is Brady going to throw to besides Amendola?

Not sure if Dobson is ready. Gronk hurt, Hernandez locked up, Welker gone, Lloyd cut. Patriots are going to throw it 35+ times a game. they aren't all going to be going to Amendola, plus he will probably get hurt eventually. Who are you guys drafting or looking at?

I've already drafted but im looking at changing out one roster spot for a WR. Right now I have Michael Floyd as my last guy.

Dobson has the hands supposedly, but Brady has been looking at Thompkins a lot this preseason. Going to be tough to predict, but I'd go Dobson.

Besides Amenola, I have no clue who the other guys are.

Take a look at Sudfield at TE.

i'm leaning toward Edelman. He's been there the longest and he's pretty much a Welker clone.

I've been watching their preseason games and Brady didn't look towards thompkins much at all. im not sure he's worth picking up just yet, but im not giving up on him.

Thompkins caught 4 passes in a 7 play stretch in the opener.

I just drafted Thompkins in the non regulars league. He was in with the starters for 22 of 25 plays and Dobson was in on the other 3.

No one.

Wes Welker would lead the Pats in receptions and even guys like Randy Moss and Brandon Lloyd have 40, 30, 20 less receptions. And those are All Pro WRs.

When they weren't there, guys like Deion Branch could not even break 50 catches.

Alls im trying to say is dont expect much.

Outside of Amendola I think the big beneficiary is Sudfeld. He's exactly what they love at the TE position. I think he actually plays a big role after Gronk comes back. Vereen will also rack up the receptions. When it comes to the other actual Wrs, I think both Dobson and Tompkins will have decent years but wouldn't expect too much out of either unless Amendola goes down again.

At WR? Thompkins is the best bet. Dude is catching everything and they love the guy.


Dobson will make big plays throughout the year but im not sure how consistent he will be because hes still rough around the edges

Sudfeld is going to fit in nicely in the move TE role.
