Is Aaron Dobson the Non-Edelman Receiver to Own From New England?
We all know Julian Edelman should be Tom Brady's favorite wide receiver target this year, but who's next in line?

Some weeks, playing fantasy football can feel a little like stopping for food at a no-name roadside diner on a 12-hour road trip: you’re desperately wishing you had some surety and security in an outcome, but making a big risk may lead you to find true satisfaction. In the same way, we fantasy players may prefer the certainty of a mere few points from guys we know and trust, but those “sure things” almost never have the potential to win us a week. Like a Big Mac, we prefer the comfortable that will tide us over, but we will never find that fantastic mom n’ pop place in the middle of nowhere if we don’t take a leap of faith.

I’d like to expand your fantasy football palate with an introduction to a little understood delicacy known as According to Jene Bramel of Football Guys, Dobson’s current pace indicates that there may have been a setback in his rehabilitation, but all word out of Patriots preseason camp seems to suggest that there is no consideration of Dobson being out. Is it a risk? Sure, but if his upside is high enough and draft cost low enough, this injury risk may still be worth it.

Another concern is Dobson’s quarterback, FantasyFootballCalculator.com, Dobson has such little draft cost and so much explosive potential that you’d be foolish not to grab him in your fantasy drafts. Dobson isn't the filet mignon of fantasy wideouts, but he'll be filling at the very least, and possibly provide even more sustenance than you expect. So, go on: pull over to that greasy spoon diner, pick up that spatula, and serve yourself up a nice piece of hotdish. Chances are, you’ll actually enjoy it.
