Presswire
Fantasy Impact: Julian Edelman actually earned the start over Welker and ended up playing more snaps than the veteran. The Pats may be trying to send a message of some sort to Welker, but it didn’t really hit home much in a game where Welker still had a major impact. Be sure to monitor how he is used going forward, however.
