Fantasy Impact: Edelman was seemingly poised to become a big part of the Patriots' offense before suffering a hand injury.

Once he is able to return, wait and see how he performs before rushing to pick him up off waivers. Despite rumors to the country, Wes Welker does not appears to be in any danger of losing his role within the offense.
