Julian Edelman (knee) likely out for Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman is likely out for Week 8 against the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Impact:

With Edelman expected to join N'Keal Harry (concussion) on the sidelines for Week 8, the Patriots will be painfully thin at wide receiver for a critical divisional tilt against the Buffalo Bills. Edelman underwent a procedure on his troublesome knee and is expected to miss 'some time'. With both of the Patriots 'top' receivers expected to be unavailable, Damiere Byrd will be joined by Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski in three wide sets. With Cam Newton struggling and the forecast calling for 50 mph winds and rain, none of the Patriots receivers project as viable fantasy options for Week 8.

According to Zac Stevens on Twitter, Denver Broncos running back Phillip Lindsay is practicing.

Fantasy Impact:

Lindsay appears to be on the practice field and is reported to have huge strides in the concussion protocol. He has not exited the protocol, but apparently, he has reached a stage where the team doctors were comfortable in allowing him to take the practice field. Lindsay is expected to be cleared in time for this weekend's matchup and is our 33rd ranked running back for Week 8.

According to Ben Baby on Twitter, Cincinnati Bengals running back Joe Mixon was not spotted at practice.

Fantasy Impact:

Mixon appears set to miss his second straight contest, as only a full session on Friday will be able to convince the Bengals to let him suit up. Mixon has been a bit of a disappointment this season due to negative gamescripts, but remains one of the more talented backs in the league. With Mixon out, Gio Bernard should get another week as the Bengals lead back. Bernard is our 11th ranked running back for Week 8.
