Amendola also got in a limited session on Thursday, indicating that the Patriots are preparing to suit him up for the Week 12 matchup with the Denver Broncos. The Patriots' slot receiver was featured heavily in the offense before exiting Week 11's victory over the Bills with a sprained knee. However, it appears that Amendola is not in danger of being kept out of action on Sunday.
Fantasy impact: Julian Edelman’s injury leaves a huge void in production in the Patriots offense, and Amendola remains the main beneficiary of the opportunity that has presented itself. Amendola has racked up 19 catches for 196 yards since Week 10, and figures to be a primary weapon in an offense that averages the third-most yards and second-most points per game.
If Amendola takes the field once again on Sunday, he can be considered a high-upside WR2 in leagues of all formats.
