Julian Edelman caught six balls for 44 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots' Wild Card round loss to Baltimore.
Edelman's hands aren't as good as Wes Welker's but he's nearly as quick, plenty fearless going over the middle, and decisive after the catch. Both of the rookie's touchdowns came deep in the red zone. With Welker unlikely to be ready for Week 1 in 2010, Edelman will likely enter the season as the Pats' No. 1 slot receiver, meaning he'll be draftable in all fantasy leagues. |
