NFL
The 5 Best Offensive Players From the Conference Championships
Which player was best in the conference championship round based on the advanced metrics?

5. Julian Edelman, New England Patriots

Rating: 94

Sure, Julian Edelman ranks fifth on this list, but let's be clear: his 94 rating was well above nearly everyone not in the top five. Only seven players from this week posted a score above 70.

DeAngelo Williams earned a 76 while Le'Veon Bell was limited to 11 offensive snaps, and Aaron Rodgers willed his way to an 89 out of 100 despite numerous drops from his limited receiving corps.

In all, Edelman caught 8 of his 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown, earning 12.20 Reception NEP. That was his second-best performance of the year, trailing just his 13.33 Reception NEP day in Week 17 (8 catches on 13 targets for 151 yards and a score).
