New England Patriots receiver Julian Edelman was been a target monster for the entire season, but he hasn't scored or topped 95 receiving yards since Week 2.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Julian Edelman
Julian Edelman is still the wide receiver to own on the Patriots, but is he still worth starting with other guys coming on? We break down the fantasy implications.


Of course, he’s been targeted at least seven times in all six games and ranks eighth in targets and fifth in receptions in the NFL. Edelman hasn’t seen his targets decrease and he’s coming off a 12-target game in Week 6, which ties a season high.
The Patriots have seen tight end Rob Gronkowski get more snaps while receiver Brandon LaFell is becoming a bigger factor. Still, Edelman will be a huge part of the offense and they'll need him even more on the short-yardage routes because of running back Stevan Ridley going down for the season due to a knee injury.
Fantasy impact: He torched the Jets with a 13-catch game against them last season and he'll be busy again. He's a must-start in PPR leagues and is a low-end WR2 in standard leagues.
