Julian Edelman

Julian Edelman (ankle, illness) out at Patriots practice Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (ankle, illness) didn't practice Wednesday.

What It Means:

Edelman turned in his best game of the season last week, so the Patriots are likely just managing his reps ahead of Sunday night's Week 9 showdown against the Green Bay Packers. New England has the highest implied total of the week at 31.25 points.

numberFire's models project Edelman to score 11.9 FanDuel points at a cost of $7,300 in Week 9. He's currently the WR16 in our PPR weekly fantasy rankings.
