NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Buffalo Bills

The Patriots certainly have not looked like the Patriots over the past two weeks, but against the Bills this week, New England still has the third-highest implied team total on the Week 16 slate of 28.75 points. Buffalo ranks 10th in aFPA to WRs. Julian Edelman has dominated targets among Patriots wideouts, with 31 over the past three weeks. He also garnered 10 targets in the first game against Buffalo, avoiding the Bills' top cornerback. Fire Edelman back up as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside, now that Josh Gordon is suspended.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at Pittsburgh Steelers

As usual, there are a lot of reasons to like Patriots players in fantasy this week. New England has an implied team total of 27.5, among the highest in the league. Only Baltimore is averaging more offensive plays per game this season than New England, and only Baltimore and Dallas have more offensive plays over the past three weeks. Plus, this game has an over/under of 52, among the highest of Week 15. Pittsburgh ranks fifth in aFPA to WRs, but with Edelman seeing 20 targets over the past two weeks, he should continue to post WR2 numbers.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Miami Dolphins

The New England Patriots head to Miami with a top five implied team total, facing a defense that ranks just 29th in total defense this season. New England struggled at Hard Rock Stadium surprisingly, but this Dolphins defensive unit doesn't have the pieces it had last year. Miami ranks just 21st in aFPA to WRs, and that was before top cornerback Xavien Howard was ruled out of this game. Julian Edelman makes for a solid start too, as Miami slot corner Bobby McCain has not played well. Fire up Edelman as a WR2.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Minnesota Vikings

The New England Patriots have a healthy implied team total of 27 points this week in a game hovering around an over/under of 50. Minnesota ranks top five in aFPA to WRs. Rob Gronkowski's return last week put a dent into Edelman's targets, only getting a season-low five of them. He still scored though, which is always a good bet for Edelman in this offense. However, that decrease in targets moves him down our rankings this week to a low-end WR2 with so many options now back in this offense, instead of the high-end WR2 he was before. The tough match-up is also a factor for Week 13.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at New York Jets

The Patriots come off the bye week motivated to not lose consecutive games, and their implied team total reflects that. New England is tied for the second most expected points on the Sunday-Monday slate at 28.5 points. Plus, the Jets are just 24th in aFPA to WRs. Plus, Julian Edelman is second in the league over the past month with 10.7 targets per game. Only Stefon Diggs has been targeted more. This is a chance for Edelman to explode when matched up against Buster Skrine in the slot, who has been one of the worst slot corners in the league this year. The match-up and targets make Edelman a sure-fire WR2 with WR1 upside.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Green Bay Packers

The Patriots only have the eighth-highest implied team total of the Sunday slate at 26.5 points, a departure from their usual spot near the top of that weekly list. Perhaps some respect from the oddsmakers against this Titans defense, but Tennessee is only 28th in aFPA to WRs. Coming off suspension, Julian Edelman hasn't missed a beat. Almost nine targets per game and double-digit fantasy points every week locks Edelman into WR2 territory.

NE WR Julian Edelman - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Green Bay Packers

In a showdown between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers in Week 9, expect a lot of points. New England has a monster implied team total of 31.5 points, highest of the week. Julian Edelman exploded last week and gets a match-up now against the Packers, who are ranked just 27th in aFPA to WRs. At 8.5 targets per game with heavy red zone use, Edelman is a top-20 WR.
