NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Buffalo Bills

The Patriots head to Buffalo Monday night to face a Bills team they've averaged 33.7 points against in their last three meetings. New England has also scored at least 38 points in each of its last four games and has a Week 8 implied team total of 29 points. Sony Michel will not play this week, which means the Patriots could be even more pass happy. That can only benefit Edelman, who will avoid the Bills top corner in the slot. Edelman's eight targets per game since returning are a clear indication as well that he's a solid WR2 for Week 8.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Kansas City Chiefs

The Patriots have the highest implied team total of Week 6 at 31.5 points. The Chiefs are bottom half in the league in aFPA to WRs. Julian Edelman immediately saw nine targets in his return from suspension on a short week last Thursday night. He will provide WR2 numbers in PPR moving forward. Even in standard, he should be no worse than a FLEX/WR3 most weeks, including Week 6.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Indianapolis Colts (TNF)

The Patriots have the highest implied team total for Week 5 at 31 points, coming off a dominant performance against the Dolphins. Indy ranks just 13th in aFPA against WRs, but the Colts offense may have trouble moving the ball with a banged up O-Line and down its best pass-catcher in T.Y. Hilton. That could lead to even more possessions for the Patriots offense. What do we do with Julian Edelman coming back from suspension on a short week? Consider him a flex option in PPR with upside, given the short week. If you have better options, do not feel forced to start Edelman.

NE WR Julian Edelman - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Looking at our season-long projection for Edelman, he would be a top-20 WR in terms of PPR fantasy points per game. And it's not as if you would get zero points from your WR2 spot during the four weeks he's suspended, as you'd just start a different WR based on matchups.

Fantasy Downside

Edelman is coming off a torn ACL, and it's unclear if he'll still be as effective as he was before the injury at age 32. Plus, the suspension for four games makes for a headache for a time period that is almost a third of your fantasy regular season.

2018 Bottom Line

Our ranking for Edelman is based on his season-long stats over 12 games. At face value, his ADP is absurd based on him being ranked outside our top-40 WRs. However, he's top-20 in projected fantasy points per game, which would make his seventh-round ADP a bargain once Edelman returns. How confident are you that you can manage the suspension?

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 21, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Super Bowl vs. Atlanta
Julian Edelman continued his dominance last week with a 8-118-1 line on 10 targets in a 36-17 win against the Steelers in the AFC Championship Game. His 29.3-percent target market share was second in the NFL this season and ranks fourth in yards after the catch (three yards per target). Edelman has a good overall matchup this week in regards to WR aFPA and will run the majority of his routes against Brian Poole in the slot.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 20, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

AFC Championship vs. Pittsburgh
Julian Edelman is coming off of an explosive 8-137-0 line on 13 targets in a 34-16 win against the Texans in the Division Round. His 35.38 percent target share over the last four games is nearly ten percent larger than that of any other wide receiver on the slate. Edelman has a good overall matchup this week against a Steelers' defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest average fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, but will see William Gay on the majority of his routes out of the slot. However, it’s a very poor matchup against the Steelers in regards to WR aFPA.
