Fantasy Impact: The great Julian Edelman-Wes Welker debate will be put off for another week in Foxborough as a result. Welker should see a full complement targets, barring an unlikely return for tight end Aaron Hernandez from an ankle injury. As for Edelman, he seems like a potentially tremendous sleeper in PPR leagues if the Patriots use him like they have hinted they might. Until he is on the field healthy, we won't know for sure, however.
