This is the fourth entry in our 2016 positional review series for the New England Patriots.
Wide Receivers
Julian Edelman
Danny Amendola
Brandon LaFell
Chris Harper
Keshawn Martin
Grade: B
Injuries really derailed the Patriots 2015 season, and perhaps the biggest one was Julian Edelman going down back in November against the Giants. Edelman is the third most important player on this team (behind Brady and Gronk), and his absence hurt the Pats’ production going forward. If Edelman had been healthy for the entire season I think New England easily gets home field advantage, and that would probably be enough to put them in the Super Bowl right now.
