Both of these guys have the potential and history to make ALOT of catches for this team while Gronk is out. Time for them to step up and help out this offense! Go Pats!
Not so sure they are happy about Fells. He was a healthy scratch last week. They seem to like Hoohoo as a blocker.

We are definitely going to need one of them...My gut tells me Fells could be the guy a poor mans Antonio Gates but he might have questionable hands. Shiancoe interesting to see how much speed he has left he has very good hands for our passing game...how far he'll get thats another story. If you put both Shiancoe and Fells together we get a Hybrid Gronk...this might be the best of both worlds.
Can't confirm it (ever on a BB team) but multiple reports indicate he expects to play barring any unforseen setback. He was reportedly thought to be good to go Sunday but they chose to hold off because of the short turnaround. Was probably a good idea since they didn't need him then but they sure could use him now. May remain a gametime decision and he may be limited since it's his first game action since October. It's a good test of sorts with a 10 day recovery period.
Too bad, as who is on field; now pretty much signals to the D (HooHoo / Fells we are running & Shiancoe-Hernandez(if avail) it's a pass).
My gut ( and his target stats for the season 2 rec for 6 targets if I recall correctly - for the lowest completion rate of ALL PATS PLAYERS) tell me Fells has HANDS OF STONE.
I hold out much more hope for Shiancoe.
I think HooHoo has even caught a higher % of stuff thrown at him than Fells. He {Fells} had rec #s from his previous teams that seemed like he ought to be ok; but apparently they either threw a lot at him to get those recs or he just cant catch TB fastballs well.

Exactly what I alluded to. thanks for exact stats.Fells was GREAT for Denver and had decent stats in ST. Louis.....Heck he even caught 2 passes for 53 yards here....but don't ask me when that was cuz I MISSED IT!!! Anyways, here is a link to Fells' stats.....

You would think the guy would be able to get it done here.....not sure what is happening....maybe it is the Chad Ocho playbook comprehension problem
Exactly what I alluded to. thanks for exact stats.
88 of 142 targets before getting here=62%. 2 of 5 =40% (and the reiss target #s were 6 I am pretty sure=33%)
