Julian Edelman Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. He put in a limited week of practice, but we're not sure if he's been cleared for game action. We'll know Edelman's status by noon ET on Sunday. Even if he's active, though, he remains just a flier in fantasy.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (head) is practicing Wednesday.  He's been medically cleared after taking a shot to the head last Thursday night.  Edelman has 4 TDs over the past 2 weeks, but only 2 have come on offense.  He has 7 catches on 9 targets over that span.  He remains a WR3 flier for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (hand) has been ruled out for Week 5.  It ensures another full complement of snaps for WR Wes Welker, who is a strong fantasy play against the Broncos on Sunday.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (hand) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.  It ensures a full slate of snaps for WR Wes Welker, who is a strong fantasy play this week.

Patriots OC Josh McDaniels says WR Julian Edelman has earned an increased role.  "He's a guy that gives you everything he's got on every play," McDaniels said. "He's got speed and has caught the ball well for us so far this year. He's a returner and gives you an element of run-after-catch that I'd say is something he does fairly well. Not to say that we don't have other players that do it very well too, but Jules, I think, has earned the right to get out there and play."  Edelman has basically taken over Wes Welker's spot as New England's #2 WR.  Against the Cardinals this past weekend, Edelman played 75 snaps, compared to 66 for Welker.  Edelman was out there on the majority of 2-WR sets, while Welker stood on the sidelines.  Despite ample playing time, Edelman has only caught 6 of 9 targets for 57 yards through 2 games.  He's a weak fantasy option.  But Edelman's increased role will continue to be a drain on Welker's value.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman (foot) is inactive for today's game against the Bengals.  Good news for WR Wes Welker, who is looking at a full slate of snaps.

Patriots WR Julian Edelman is out indefinitely with a broken arm.  We wouldn't be surprised if New England stuck him on IR, ending his rookie season.  Edelman had racked up 21 catches in his last 5 games.  With this injury, and the release of Joey Galloway, Sam Aiken will likely step in as the team's #3 WR.  He's only worth a look in the deepest of leagues.
