It's a favorable schedule, Pittsburgh and Baltimore look much weaker than anticipated, division is weak and 10-6 or 11-5 wins the division and then, unlike years past where they ripped through regular season and then had receiver injuries in the playoffs, they could go into the playoffs with a 5 receiver set of
Edelman, Amendola, Gronkowski, Vereen and they only need one of the following to improve and step up as option #5
Sudfeld, Thompkins, Boyce or Dobson.
Getting Gronk back is enough to score more against some of the weak teams and Amendola will be back in time to help much of the regular season.
So looks highly likely they take the division and IF they are healthy in the playoffs you get
#1 receiver: Gronk-Not many better at Tight End receiving
#2 receiver-Amendola-Of course assumption is he WILL get healthy but he's a 10 reception a game Welker type-one of the best talent wise
#3-Edelman-Showed he could beat double teams last night-Solid #3
#4-Vereen-Shows very good receiving and running after catch, top 3rd down back
#5-How often does Brady go to a 5th read? You would hope ONE of the rookies would improve enough to be #5.
So it seems they should be healthy enough to get to the playoffs and the key will be having everyone healthy for 3-4 game playoff run. Questionable with Amendola and Vereen's history but with their early outs they don't need to put together 16 straight games and should be less banged up than many with less games played.
Assuming they are all on the field Compare Edelman, Amendola, Gronkowski, Vereen to other teams top 4's and it is a good receiving corp.
