Julian Edelman

Week 10 vs. Seattle
Julian Edelman is coming off of a 4-37-1 line on eight targets in a 41-25 win against the Bills in Week 8 before the bye. Edelman has not shown huge TD upside but remains a huge part of this Patriots passing game, as he has a 25.93 percent target share in his last four games (top-15 in the league). He should be a safe volume play week-to-week. He has a tough matchup against the Seahawks this week who are near the top of WR aFPA. Having Tom Brady back is a huge boost to this passing game overall and this they are again heavily favored.

Week 7 at Pittsburgh
Julian Edelman is coming off of a 4-30 line on seven targets against the Bengals in a 35-17 win last week. Edelman leads the Patriots in Target Market Share (22.13%) through the past six weeks. He averaged 7.0 catches and 75 yards per game over the past two seasons on just over ten targets per game. Edelman may not have huge touchdown upside, but he should be a safe volume play week-to-week. It's an average matchup against the Steelers in Week 7, as they are allowing the second-most receptions in the league through six weeks and are right in the middle of teams in WR aFPA. You should keep an eye on Edelman's foot injury that had him find the injury report last week. Edelman has had foot injuries in the past, so until we know more, proceed with caution.

Julian Edelman (foot) is coming off of a 1-66 line on 4 targets in a 0-16 shutout loss to the Bills in Week 4. Edelman leads the Patriots in Target Market Share (24.56%). He averaged 7.0 catches and 75 yards per game over the past two seasons on just over ten targets per game. In a average matchup against the Browns in Week 5 (who are right in the middle of teams in WR aFPA) you should keep an eye on his foot injury that had him find the injury report on Thursday. Edelman has had foot injuries in the past so until we know more, proceed with caution. That said he finally gets Tom Brady back this week in a game they are heavily favorited.
