Pros: At his best, Edwards is a huge big-play threat and should easily eclipse 1,000 yards for a season. He has great size and has averaged 15.5 yards per reception for his career. The Jets plan on developing their passing game more this season and could take a few more shots downfield with more confidence in second-year starter Mark Sanchez. Edwards will have a full offseason to learn this offense after joining partway through '09.

Cons: For all his talent, Edwards one of the worst at catching the ball; it's been a few years with his drops problems, and he probably won't correct it anytime soon. New York added Santonio Holmes, another deep threat, and the development of Dustin Keller could limit Edwards' impact, or at least his consistency. This is still a run-first offense.

Fantasy tip: Edwards will be playing for a new contract in 2011. Can he turn in the all-important contract year? Owners are overpaying slightly for him; he's a midrange No. 3 that could explode for a big week or two. However, his inconsistency likely will make him a frustrating play if you do select him around his average draft position of the early seventh round.
