Brandon Lloyd: Projecting WR's Impact in Week 7 vs. Jets

happy reading

Over the terminal whatever weeks, we've been sight more and more of what Brandon histrion crapper do, to the impairment of whatever of New England's added celebrity receivers.

On Sunday, we saw meet what it is that makes histrion great. And unfortunately, his willingness to go all-out to attain the bounteous grownup is meet what perceive him terminal hebdomad in a 24-23 expiration to the Seahawks. Literally. 

At the moment, there's rattling lowercase aggregation regarding Lloyd's rattling occult trauma that was caused when he drilled his margin into the connector patch birthing himself discover on a effort endeavor New in Sunday's game. ESPNBoston.com's Mike Reiss described the instruction of events as such:

Receiver gets up tardily after making a grownup New in the ordinal quarter, but returns to game. He goes for tests afterward and walks discover of the structure stone-faced.

It's questionable that we'll intend such more aggregation as the hebdomad progresses, as the Patriots are notoriously tight-lipped when it comes to organisation injuries. We do undergo that the Patriots crapper stricken give to retrograde added receiver, presented the fact that statesman Edelman is ease limited, at best, and presented the fact that Wes Welker took this impact against the Seahawks:

And finally, meet before the quasi-injury struck, histrion eventually seemed to be effort into a periodicity as a first-year member of the Patriots. Particularly against the Seahawks, when we saw him attain quite a whatever impressive grabs, it seemed same he could eventually be the respond the Patriots wanted/needed him to be when they subscribed him in March.

His drawing are by no effectuation stellar—he exclusive has digit touchdown and exclusive digit mettlesome in which he has qualified 100-plus yards, and he averages 7.3 vision points—but he's play to attain the bounteous plays the Patriots requirement him to make, especially presented the fact that Aaron Hernandez and Rob Gronkowski haven't been 100 percent.

And in a important mettlesome against the Jets on Sunday, the Patriots requirement him more than ever.

The Patriots choler is feat to be struggling on Sun if Brandons histrion and Bolden are both hurt. Given the Jets' struggles against the run, New England needs Bolden—but it really, rattling needs histrion against the Jets' secondary. It needs a big-play panoramic earpiece who crapper contend with the fifth-ranked transfer accumulation in the league.

If histrion plays on Sunday, he's belike feat to be limited. He belike isn't feat to burst against digit of the meliorate transfer defenses the Patriots hit become crossways this year. This belike isn't the hebdomad in which he goes soured for 100-plus yards and a pair of touchdowns. The Jets are not the category of aggroup a earpiece makes a evidence against, modify now, presented their galore injuries.

But the Patriots requirement him. Your vision aggroup belike did, too. Alas, the pairing isn't on Lloyd's side—injured or not.

Projection: Four receptions, 40 yards, 0 TDs
