Patriots' Julian Edelman (knee) making progress
New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (knee) is "getting better," according to quarterback Cam Newton.
What It Means:
Edelman is eligible to return from injured reserve for Sunday's Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans but he's not expected to be activated. He drew at least 6 targets in each of his first five games before the injury became too much to bear. Jakobi Meyers has emerged as Newton's go-to target in recent weeks.
Meyers is averaging 86.5 yards, 6.8 receptions, and 9.3 targets in the last four games. He's the WR34 in numberFire's Week 11 fantasy rankings and has a salary of $6,000 on FanDuel's main slate.
