Tyms will be fighting Dobson for that fourth wide receiver spot, and especially if Brady’s suspension gets upheld Tyms will have the advantage. Garoppolo and Tyms showed great chemistry last year during the preseason and if Garoppolo starts, Tyms is bound to see some field time.
Tyms is a big play threat and he proved that with his one career touchdown catch, in which he caught a 43 yard bomb from Tom Brady. I would love to see Tyms be a bit more involved in the offense, as the Patriots really don’t have many deep threats. Since he is already 26 years old, I think Dobson will get more chances than Tyms, and he will have to fight to make the roster.
Prediction: 8 Receptions, 122 Receiving Yards, 1 TD
TE’s:
Gronkowski is dominant force and is the best offensive player in the NFL based on position. He is basically uncoverable and that will not change in the 2015. Last year he started the year slowly as the Pats were easing him back into full activity, but this year he is completely healthy and will hopefully have a whole season in which he can dominate opposing secondaries. Brady’s suspension will not affect Gronk as Garoppolo and him have been getting a lot of reps together in camp. I think he will have his best season of his career as he is finally healthy. NFL watch out! Gronk is coming.
Prediction: 95 Receptions, 1400 receiving Yards, 16 TD’s
