This guy has been on my radar ever since he went to the Pats. Then he got injured (I believe hammy?) but now seems to have gotten his explosion back and is making plays.

Last three weeks he's been putting up some numbers. Against the Steelers and Colts he produced 7 catches for 70 yds and on Thanksgiving he had 3 catches for 113yds and 2 TDs. Also Brady publicly stated he's going to make a concentrated effort to get the balls into his best two play makers Welker and Branch.

OK so where does this guy rate in PPR? A #3 Wr with #2 WR upside or what?

I'm trying to compare him to other like WRs out there like James Jones, Blair White, Mike Thomas, Gibson etc.

How would you rank this guy right now? Is he a every week starter going forward?

Low WR2 high WR3. NE's spread offense, involvement of TE's, and more balanced offense makes me worry about his consistency game-to-game. If he can have a solid game against the Jets, and stays healthy, he moves up to a low #1 WR IMO.
