Do you own him or are you trying to acquire him?If you are in a league with me, I think he will do horrible. Avoid.
For everyone else, I think he is going to surprise a whole lot of people with a good amount of production for a rookie.

Obviously, I'm really excited about Bryan Edwards and his future with the Raiders.
But I do agree that his production this season could be minimal, even if he is the starter.
Bryan Edwards has been the starting X receiver at Raiders camp.
Tyrell Williams (shoulder) is questionable for Week 1, setting up Edwards for snaps on the outside. Edwards quietly opened camp with the first-team offense and has been the star of 11-on-11 drills. The Athletic’s Tashan Reed thinks the Raiders “don’t want people to know how good they think Edwards is” and “won’t hesitate” to play him. It’s looking possible the Raiders let both Edwards and Henry Ruggs open the season as starters.

My main dynasty team has both gentlemen. I can live with this.It’s looking possible the Raiders let both Edwards and Henry Ruggs open the season as starters
This is very similar in terms of hype, but also weird “ehh it’s too good to be true” style secrecy, to the McLaurin situation last year. I followed that camp every day as a fan and still was shocked when he followed through so well during the regular season.He's been so good in camp they are trying to hide him!
He could pop right out of the gate.
Omg! ITS HAPPENING!Raiders placed Tyrell Williams on IR. Sounds like Edwards will get to be a starter from the get go.
So now what do you have to complain about since they put Williams in IR?There is not much I see that I don’t like. This is why I am high on him. Here is a draft profile. But I think the positives far outweigh negative of the strength weaknesses list. https://www.nfl.com/prospects/bryan-edwards/32194544-5715-7935-d52c-2e0bf57adf37
I like he did well against SEC competition. I like his size and athleticism. I also see on player profiler he is very high percentile rated in college dominator and breakout age. I don’t see really anything that I don’t like just looking at his play and physical attributes. They mention he had concentration issues leading to drops. I assume this can be worked on.
I don’t like all of the WR on raiders roster that are projected ahead of him. He may find himself 4th WR. Because I think they love Renfrow in the slot. Ruggs has draft collateral and speed on his side to command a starting role. Williams probably ahead of Edwards to start the season. I think they may put him ahead of Agholor. This is the only think I don’t like, is the situation.
Having said all of this if you don’t respect my strongly positive evaluation then it won’t matter at all to me.![]()
Nothing.So now what do you have to complain about since they put Williams in IR?
Edwards should receive more targets. Carr likes to play it safe. Ruggs will get used but I see Edwards as the chain moving WR.I have no problem drafting in front of Ruggs. I'm probably in the minority with that though. He likely would have been a 1st round pick if he could have fully participated in the combine.
I agree. If Edwards stays healthy he could lead the team in targets though. I agree the Mclaurin talk is a little premature but not by much.Edwards should receive more targets. Carr likes to play it safe. Ruggs will get used but I see Edwards as the chain moving WR.
This Mclaurin talk is premature. McLaurin played extremely well in a tough situation.

You think he “probably” ends up as a WR2 as a rookie? I hope you’re right but that’s a bit pie-in-the-sky, no?WR1 upside "this" year but probably ends up in the WR2 range......
Nope. He's my 2nd best WR in this draft and he's a favorite to lead the team in targets imo. I'm all in on this guy. Maybe a little bit of a rookie slow start and then I see him taking off week 3-4-5ish and not looking back.You think he “probably” ends up as a WR2 as a rookie? I hope you’re right but that’s a bit pie-in-the-sky, no?
Yes. Seems really difficult to predict targets in the Raider O. There may not be a true main target and targets may end up pretty equally distributed at the end of the season to Edwards, Waller, Ruggs and Renfrow. Edwards should receive more than Ruggs and Renfrow but I don’t think it will be by much. Williams being taken out of the mix certainly helps Edwards but I’m not sure it pushes him to the top of the pecking order in LV. This may help Waller owners most for the first half of the season as the two rookie WRs learn the NFL.Is 2.01 too early to reach for Edwards in PPR?
No I think it is fine. Get your guy. I took him in May drafts at 2.06 to 2.12. With the drumbeat he should be around early 2nd late 1st now.Is 2.01 too early to reach for Edwards in PPR?
Definitely agree with this -- @DocHolliday also has some good points about concerns, but there's similar concerns for a lot of the guys in that early 2nd range. At the least, you'll get to see what you have right away (for better or worse). Some of those other 2nd round rookies won't get a real opportunity for awhile. He was going mid 2nd in all of my drafts in May as well, so I imagine with the positive news he's rocketing up. I saw someone took him 1.10 last week in one of the rookie drafts posted in that thread (it was noted as odd, but maybe the guy looks like a genius by the end of the season).No I think it is fine. Get your guy. I took him in May drafts at 2.06 to 2.12. With the drumbeat he should be around early 2nd late 1st now.Is 2.01 too early to reach for Edwards in PPR?
Not at all. Take him and appreciate him. He's a beast.Is 2.01 too early to reach for Edwards in PPR?
Out of curiosity, what'd it take? I've put out a few feelers, but seems like most aren't willing to move him.I just traded for him. I don't expect a huge 2020 out of him but I think long term he'll be pretty beastly.
It's to late bro. Most see he's starting now so everyone is in love with him. Give it 2 weeks hope he starts slow and offer a 2021 1st for Edwards and a 2021 2nd.Out of curiosity, what'd it take? I've put out a few feelers, but seems like most aren't willing to move him.
Damien Harris straight up.Out of curiosity, what'd it take? I've put out a few feelers, but seems like most aren't willing to move him.
The word that describes Carr is inconsistent. If he could maintain his highs, he would be pretty good. The highs tell me that the potential is there, but I don’t know that he will ever maintainUnless you are in OAK/LA/LV homer leagues (like me) all Raider receivers - despite their talent/prospects, of which there is plenty to get hype about - need to be discounted by your opinion of Daverek Carr. I still think D.Carr has potential for a major rebound/renaissance. But I'm not confident about it. That said, offseason reports have been glowing. FWIW. Discount accordingly.
Yeah crazy. His value would be way higher in most leagues.oh man nice deal
Redraft I am guessing? PPR?Where does this put him realistically? In 10 teamer, trying to decide if he is worth drafting. Still behind Ruggs and Renfrow, no?
Not sure who else might be available when you make that particular choice, but I'd take him over:Just not sure if I want him over Aiyuk, Higgins, Gibson & Pittman. (Dynasty PPR)
I think (too many drafts for this fuzzy-memoried fellow) that I drafted him late first-round in one league where I was worried he wouldn't last to my 2nd round pick.No I think it is fine. Get your guy. I took him in May drafts at 2.06 to 2.12. With the drumbeat he should be around early 2nd late 1st now.
I’m in too. WR5 on my team currently but with Parker in front of him, Edwards has a good chance to move up.In for a share. LFG.![]()
I loved Edwards, but don't sleep on Renfrow.Zyphros said:Officially named a starter along side Henry Ruggs
I agree. Still think Waller gets a fair number of targets tooI loved Edwards, but don't sleep on Renfrow.
"Renfrow’s role as a slot receiver for the Raiders is an important one with Jon Gruden’s offense relying heavily on ball control and short passes that gain positive yards."
