1. Julian Edelman will have 100 receiving yards

The day has finally arrived. Julian Edelman’s suspension is over and he has returned to the team.

The New England Patriots need Edelman to produce right away. During the first 4 games of the season, we saw the lack of talent in the wide receiver department. Has anyone seen Chris Hogan because he has been missing for the past 4 weeks?

I think Edelman could have a big game because he will be relied upon right away. Tom Brady loves throwing the ball to “Jules” and I expect Brady to try and get Edelman involved early on.

The only question is will Edelman be the same player that he was before his ACL injury. I don’t know if we will be seeing him break out for long runs.

This season I expect Edelman to continue to be a dink and dunk threat. He may not want to go over the middle after such a terrible knee injury.

On Thursday night we will get to see if Edelman is ready to dominate the NFL.
