2. Julian Edelman

We all knew who the New England Patriots best receiver was prior to the season. Julian Edelman was gonna get plenty of targets. Now that Antonio Brown is on the team things will have changed.

Now I think this will have a positive effect on Edelman. This should open up some opportunities for Edelman and make his life a hell of a lot easier.

The only downside is that Edelman won’t likely have as many targets as he would have this season. Tom Brady will have to spread the ball around and get everyone involved. I don’t think we will see Edelman reach 100 receptions this season.

But Edelman will be able to get open easier. Opposing defenses won’t be able to double team Julian Edelman because if they do Brown will likely be wide open.

Julian Edelman is just another player that is happy to have Antonio Brown on the roster.
