Knowing he's on the Patriots just enrages me. What a disaster. He's a thief.

Can we please limit this thread to Amendola injuries only? As an owner, every time I see this thread bumped I assume he just had three fingers amputated.

Despite the title this is the only thing that comes close to being any type of Official Amendola Thread (I did a search before posting). The alternative was to start a brand new thread, but then you have people #####ing about that - can't win around this place.Can we please limit this thread to Amendola injuries only?

Nah, I was just kidding. Though maybe we can get Phenix to add "(and other Amendola news)" to the title.Despite the title this is the only thing that comes close to being any type of Official Amendola Thread (I did a search before posting).

Positive thing about finger amputation is that he won't have to worry about breaking them anymore.

So, uh, does Amendola 1. stay healthy for at least 13 games this year and 2. does he become a PPR star in the process?
On 1., I guess if the price is right, ie nice and very low, I guess it's worth it to find out if 2. comes to pass.

Lets look at it. He is a injury risk like no other, but having his upside if he is the slot guy in New England brings him instant WR2 status on what that position brings to fantasy stats alone. If they dont sign Edelman and they draft someone, Amendola is still talented enough to hold of the rook for at least a year.
Answer 1: He probably plays 12, I know that is a reach and Answer 2: His QB, upside, position, situation and team assures he will be a PPR beast. He is a talented and a pretty good receiver, his production is not the issue, his health is.

Let's wait to see who ends up on the Patriots. They could still bring back Edelman and other receiving options as well.So, uh, does Amendola 1. stay healthy for at least 13 games this year and 2. does he become a PPR star in the process?

He's filthy cheap right now. I avoided him last season at his seemingly ridiculous price (WR17-ish?) but he looked good when he wasn't decimated by injuries. Better than I expected. At WR47 right now, you can't pass him up. He's had some odd injuries - was it like a dislocated elbow? Either way, I like his injuries better than chronic ankle and hamstring issues. I'm flip flopping from last year. He went from over priced to under priced as far as I'm concerned. And if he'd stayed healthy last year, he might've been price just right for all I know.
I think he'll score more points than Edelman who is going WR24.

Danny Amendola - WR - Patriots
Danny Amendola said his "learning curve" is much less as he enters his second season in New England.
"I feel very comfortable right now," Amendola said about learning the offense. Far more importantly, the slot man is healthy after a severe groin injury helped turn him into a free agent bust for the Patriots last season. Amendola will be behind Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski for targets this year, but his fantasy price-tag has dropped to the 10th round or later. He's still just 28 years old and the Patriots won't want Edelman catching 105 passes again.

Amendola only got open once on nine routes. By that time, Brady already hit Edelman for 12 yards.

Went through Pats-Vikings tape: Amendola was on the field for 9 of 23 pass plays. Didn't count a single time Brady should've targeted him.

He had a reception that went for like 20-30 yards. Called back on a holding penalty.Jeff Howe - Boston Hearald, Patriots Beat Writer

How in the world did get Amendola get to be so completely forgotten in NE?
(Dobson and KT too for that matter).
Edelman and LaFell are apparently the WRs these days? Then Gronk, then Vereen?

No catches since week 1.
Barely targeted since.
Not sure what the point even is of playing him, then. Why not let the young guys play, make their mistakes, and get better, rather than start a guy you aren't gonna use anyway.

He's had several catches since week 1 - all have been negated by penalty.
They certainly need to get him more involved.

Yahoo is reporting that Aaron Dobson has not been playing cause he mouthed off to Josh McDaniels. If that is true, that is pathetic. McDaniels needs to get over his man-child behavior and realize the good of the team is more important than his pride being hurt by a WR yelling at him. Not like Dobson's presence is gonna make all the difference, but he is at least someone who can stretch the field (on plays where the line actually blocks).

He adds very little to the offense, needs significant time to get open, time the offense doesn't have. And there's a 60% chance he stonehands it anyway.

He was pretty good throughout the playoffs. Wonder if he will bounce back next season.

He finally seems to be settling in...not worth the money they gave him (and it's not close) but he seems to be finding his niche...not sure what his contract numbers look going forward but he probably needs to restructure to stay...

Edelman has become everything I wanted Amendola to be.

2015 4m salary, 500k roster bonus. 3.6m dead cap to cut
salary increases by 1m each year, 500k roster bonus every year, dead cap drops 1.2m every year. UFA 2018. No more guaranteed money in the contract.
Looks like they might keep him this year
ETA LaFell costs about half and UFA 2017

There's still hope for production.

Thoughts on Amendola this year. Seems like Brady and Dola were clicking in the playoffs last year. With Wayne cut and LaFelle heading to the PUP, does he have some sneaky value? Will he be returning kicks as well this year??
With the official news of Lafell missing 8 weeks, I've picked up Amendola in several leagues. Right now he's the WR2 by default and he's not even rostered in most leagues.
