Recovered from shoulder surgery
Edelman (shoulder) has been working out with teammates, including quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer, Mass Live's Christopher Smith reports.
Analysis: Edelman seems to have rebounded from minor shoulder surgery in January without any problems, gearing up for his age-34 season. He'll be playing without Tom Brady on the roster for the first time in his career, but there's no shortage of volume potential in an offense that otherwise lacks proven pass-catching threats. Edelman's 153 targets last season were good for fourth in the league, and he was on pace for 166 before knee and shoulder injuries slowed him down over the final three weeks of the…read more

Avoids prosecution in vandalism case
Edelman (shoulder) won't be prosecuted after being cited for misdemeanor vandalism in January, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Edelman was arrested back on Jan. 11 in Beverly Hills, after reportedly jumping on the hood of a vehicle and causing damage. According to Thursday's official filing, "the owner of the vehicle has informed the DA's Office that he does not want the arrestee to be prosecuted for the proposed vandalism charge. The arrestee has no known criminal history. Case filing declined in the interests of justice." The 33-year-old wideout is bouncing back from a minor shoulder procedure that he underwent in…read more

Recovering from shoulder surgery
Edelman had shoulder surgery last week, with the expectation of being ready for the Patriots' offseason program this spring, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The extent of Edelman's participation in the offseason program is a legitimate question mark, but there isn't any reason to believe his rehab process will extend beyond spring practices. In addition to the recent procedure to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder, Edelman was expected to have arthroscopic surgery to remove a loose body in his left knee. It isn't clear whether the second procedure has taken place yet, but it should happen soon enough if it hasn't already. The offseason has…read more

Analysis: Per the report, the Patriots' top pass catcher is in line to have a scope to identify and help remove a loose body in his left knee, as well as undergo a procedure to repair the AC joint in his left shoulder. In other news, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports that Edelman, who was "arrested Saturday night in Beverly Hills, California, and cited for misdemeanor vandalism" is as a result scheduled to appear in court April 13.

May need offseason surgery
Edelman could require offseason surgery after dealing with shoulder, knee and rib issues during the 2019 campaign, Jeff Howe of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Per Howe, Edelman's assortment of injuries were "serious enough that they would have ended some other players' seasons." As is it, the 33-year-old toughed it out through all 16 of the Patriots' regular-season contests, as well as the team's wild-card loss to the Titans. On the heels of a 100-catch, 1,117-yard campaign, Edelman will now look to recover from his aches and pains this offseason, with or without surgical repairs. Ultimately, Edelman's 2020 outlook will hinge on the status of…read more

Rushes for score in playoff loss
Edelman caught three of his five targets for 30 yards in the team's wild-card round loss to the Titans. He added two rushes for 12 yards and a score.
Analysis: Edelman was uncharacteristically quiet, out-targeted by N'Keal Harry and logging only the fourth most receiving yards on the team. It's unclear how much nagging shoulder and knee injuries derailed his performance, but Edelman had an untimely drop early in the third quarter that stalled an otherwise promising drive. Edelman is under contract through the 2021 season, and cutting him prior to the end of the 2020 league year would result in $8.3 million of dead cap. Thus, he is likely to be back in…read more

Edelman (knee/shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's playoff game against the Titans.
Analysis: Edelman has been banged up of late, but there's wasn't much doubt that he'd tough things out in the Patriots' playoff opener. As QB Tom Brady's most trusted target, Edelman figures to see his share of looks in the passing game Saturday night, in the absence of any in-game setbacks.

Edelman (knee/shoulder) is one of six New England players listed as questionable for Saturday night's playoff game against the Titans after practicing in a limited fashion this week, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: That said, the report notes that Edelman, who has battled his share of aches and pains of late, indicated Thursday in a radio interview the he feels "better than (he has) in the last few weeks." With that in mind, we have little doubt that the Patriots' top pass catcher will be available this weekend, an outcome that will be confirmed about 90 minutes prior to Saturday night's 8:15 ET kickoff.

Edelman (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Edelman has been banged up of late and certainly would have benefited from a first-round bye in the playoffs. Alas, the Patriots' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins has set the stage for a wild-card matchup Saturday versus the Titans. Though Edelman will likely be officially listed as questionable for the contest, there's little doubt regarding his availability for the Patriots' playoff opener.

Limited at practice Tuesday
Edelman (knee/shoulder) was a limited participant at Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: Edelman played through knee and shoulder issues in Week 17 but secured only three of seven targets for 27 yards, while also losing a fumble. The fact the 33-year-old is beginning the week as a limited participant bodes well for his availability in this weekend's wild-card matchup with Tennessee. However, the lack of a bye week likely means Edelman will remain less than 100 percent in the playoffs.

Rough outing in Week 17 loss
Edelman (knee/shoulder) secured three of seven targets for 26 yards in the Patriots' 27-24 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also committed a fumble, but it was recovered by the offense.
Analysis: Edelman had another atypically unproductive day, giving him a pair of sub-30-yard tallies over his final three games of the regular season. The veteran did reach the 100-reception mark for the second time in his career with Sunday's production, while his 1,117 receiving yards were a career high. Edelman will look to step his production back up in next weekend's wild-card matchup against the Titans.

He's seen a bit of a dip in his snap share over his last two outings, but as long as he's able to remain on the field, Edelman will remain QB Tom Brady's most trusted target, a context that led to the 33-year-old pass-catcher logging a team-high six targets in last weekend's 24-17 win over the Bills, en route to securing five…read more

Analysis: After being called for offensive pass interference in the third quarter, Edelman stayed on the ground for a bit. Eventually, the Patriots yanked him from the game to be evaluated for a head injury, but tests have given the wideout the all-clear. Edelman's presence will be key for a receiving corps lacking in trust from Tom Brady.

He remained on the turf for a spell before attempting to play through it, but eventually he underwent an examination in the blue sideline tent.

The 62 percent snap share still represented a reduction from his usual workload, and it's worth wondering how close to full strength he'll be once Saturday's game against the Bills arrives.

Edelman played through damage to the tendon in his left knee in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals, Michael Giardi of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: According to Giardi, Edelman suffered the injury a week earlier in New England's loss to Kansas City. Edelman proceeded to take a questionable designation into the matchup with the Bengals after the injury limited his participation in practice, and while he ultimately received clearance to play, he looked more hobbled than usual during his time on the field.

Edelman caught two of five targets for nine yards during Sunday's 34-13 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: Sunday's numbers were Edelman's worst of the season, a product of Tom Brady's continued struggles and a Patriots defense and running game that took over the contest. Still, Edelman is arguably the only member of the passing attack that maintains consistent fantasy value.

Analysis: Edelman has been playing through aches and pains of late, but a knee issue cropped up on this week's injury report and it wasn't until he navigated his way through a pre-game workout that he was deemed fit to suit up Sunday. Assuming no in-game setbacks, Edelman should continue to operate as QB Tom Brady's most trusted target. He's logged double-digit targets in each of his last eight games, en route to putting up a fantasy-friendly 90/1,010/6 stat line through 13 contests.

Tops 100 scrimmage yards in loss
Edelman caught eight of 12 targets for 95 yards and a touchdown and added eight yards on one carry in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: He was the Patriots' top offensive weapon in the game by far, and James White was the only other player to reach 60 scrimmage yards or see more than four targets on the afternoon. Edelman reached 1,000 receiving yards for the third time in his career with this performance, and he's now 97 yards shy of eclipsing the career-high 1,106 yards he recorded in 2016 -- a mark he could reach in Week 15 on the road against the hapless Bengals.

Edelman caught eight of 12 targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 13-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: With rain limiting Tom Brady's ability to stretch the field, Edelman saw plenty of action on shorter routes and ended up leading all receivers in catches, targets and yards on the afternoon. The 33-year-old has gotten double-digit targets in six straight games and eight of 11 on the year, giving him a high fantasy floor heading into Week 13's road clash with the Texans.

Edelman caught five of 10 targets for 53 yards and completed his only pass for a 15-yard touchdown to Phillip Dorsett in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Eagles.
Analysis: The third-quarter toss was Edelman's first ever regular-season passing TD and accounted for the Pats' only touchdown of the day, although the receiver is 5-for-6 as a passer in his career when Bill Belichick decides to dial up a trick play -- including a 51-yard score to Danny Amendola in the 2014 playoffs. Edelman's catches, targets and yards also led the team Sunday, and he remains on pace for his first 100-reception season since 2013.

Monster PPR effort
Edelman (chest/shoulder) caught 10 passes (11 targets) for 89 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: Edelman did cough up a costly fumble, but it was a small price to pay for those in PPR formats who benefited from a season-high 10 receptions. The 33-year-old was dealing with a couple of minor injuries, but he didn't seem to be hampered by either issue and was on the field for his usual share of snaps. The Patriots' upcoming bye week will help Edelman get closer to full strength before a Week 11 matchup against a soft Philadelphia pass defense (256.1 passing yards allowed per game).

Good to go Sunday night
Edelman (chest/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Ravens.
Analysis: With his active status confirmed, look for Edelman - who will continue playing through his aches and pains - to maintain his high-volume role in the Patriots offense Sunday. Halfway through his team's 2019 slate, Edelman has been targeted 79 times (sixth in the NFL heading into Week 9 action) and has racked up 53 catches for 574 yards and four TDs, while helping his team carve out an 8-0 record.

Questionable for Sunday night
Edelman (chest/shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
Analysis: Normally, an 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday would be dicey with a player listed as questionable, but Edelman is expected to suit up this weekend. Assuming that's the case, he'll continue to serve as a high-volume target for quarterback Tom Brady. Eight games into the 2019 season, Edelman is sixth in the league with 79 targets and is on pace for 106 catches, 1,148 yards and eight touchdowns.
