Eclipses century mark in win
Edelman (chest) brought in nine of 15 targets for 113 yards in the Patriots' 35-14 win over the Giants on Thursday.
Analysis: Edelman paced the Patriots in receiving yards and targets while drawing even with James White for the team lead in receptions. The veteran receiver fell just short of his third touchdown of the campaign when he was brought down at the Giants' three-yard line on a 36-yard reception late in the fourth quarter. The missed scoring opportunity aside, Edelman was able to notch his second straight 100-yard game with that grab and now boasts an impressive 38-449-2 line through six contests. He'll look…read more

Suiting up Thursday
Edelman (chest) is listed as active for Thursday night's game against the Giants.
Analysis: The same applies to Josh Gordon (knee), who was also listed as questionable for the contest. With Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) unavailable, Edelman and Gordon could be busy Thursday night, while Jakobi Meyers seems destined to work in a complementary role. Through five games, Edelman leads the Patriots in catches (29), targets (41) and receiving yards (336), to go along with a pair of TDs. As long as he can stay on the field, the slot ace will continue to see enough volume to remain a viable…read more

Questionable for Thursday
Edelman (chest) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: The same applies to Josh Gordon (knee), but given that both starting receivers were able to log their usual allotment of snaps in the Week 5 win over Washington, the duo is expected to play Thursday. Confirmation on that front will arrive about 90 minutes before the Patriots' 8:20 p.m. EDT kickoff, when the team releases its inactive list. Five games into the 2019 season, Edelman leads the Patriots in catches (29), targets (41) and receiving yards (336) to go along with a pair of scores.

Limited during low-speed practice
Edelman (chest) was listed as a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Analysis: The Patriots had a walkthrough Tuesday, so Edelman's practice status isn't necessarily indicative of his chances of playing Thursday versus the Giants. There isn't any legitimate concern about his status for Thursday, though, as Edelman logged a full workload despite his chest injury in Week 5.

Listed as limited on practice estimate
Edelman (chest) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
Analysis: Edelman was on the field for 72 of the Patriots' 78 snaps on offense in Sunday's 33-7 win over Washington en route to catching eight of his nine targets for 110 yards and a TD. With no reported setbacks related to the chest/rib injury he's been working through, there's no reason to believe that Edelman's status for Thursday's game against the Giants is in any danger.

Rebounds as expected
Edelman (chest) caught eight of nine targets for 110 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-7 win over the Redskins.
Analysis: As expected, Edelman bounced back after a poor Week 4 performance in Buffalo. He hauled in a six-yard touchdown in the first quarter and continued to get open at will the rest of the way to top 100 yards for the first time this season. Expect Edelman to pace New England's passing attack against the Giants on Thursday Night Football in Week 6.

Suits up Sunday
Edelman (chest) is listed as active for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: Though he headed into Week 4 action listed as questionable, Edelman was on the field for 60 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in the Patriots' subsequent 16-10 win over the Bills. The team managed Edelman's snaps in practice this past week, but in the absence of any in-game setbacks, he figures to see his usual workload, a context that has led to the slot ace averaging eight targets per game and snagging a team-high 21 catches to date.

Set to play
Edelman (chest), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Redskins, is in line to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: After picking up the chest injury in the Week 3 win over the Jets, Edelman proceeded to play all but three of the Patriots' offensive snaps in last Sunday's win over the Bills, finishing with four receptions for 30 yards on seven targets. Though the injury resulted in Edelman's practice time being limited this week, he's not expected to have his workload managed so long as the contest with Washington is competitive.

Listed as questionable this week
Edelman (chest/ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Washington after practicing in a limited fashion all week.
Analysis: Despite heading into last Sunday's 16-10 win over the Bills listed as questionable after getting banged up in Week 3, Edelman was on the field for 60 of a possible 63 snaps on offense for the Patriots. With no reported setbacks since then, we expect the slot maven to play this weekend, an outcome that will be solidified upon the release of the team's inactives prior to Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff.

Another limited practice session
Edelman (chest/ribs) remained limited at practice Thursday, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.

Logs limited practice Wednesday
Edelman (chest/ribs) was limited at practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Despite heading into Week 4 action listed as questionable, Edelman was on the field for 60 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in the Patriots' 16-10 win over the Bills this past Sunday. Because Edelman had no reported setbacks in that contest, we suspect that the slot ace's limitations Wednesday were simply maintenance-related.

Quiet in Week 4 win
Edelman (chest/ribs) caught four of seven targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 16-10 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: New England's entire passing game was stuck in low gear, with Tom Brady completing less than half of his passes for a paltry 150 yards. Expect the entire unit to bounce back in Week 5 against the porous Redskins secondary, with a healthier Edelman leading the way. The slot receiver has 21 catches for 226 yards and a touchdown through four games.

Suits up Sunday
Edelman (chest/ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Ian Rapoport of NFL Network previously noted that Edelman's Week 4 workload figures to hinge on how he feels as Sunday's game progresses, but assuming no in-game setbacks, the Patriots' slot ace should continue to see enough targets to help fantasy managers, especially those in PPR formats.

Plans to play
Edelman (chest/ribs) told Dianna Russini of ESPN that he's good to go for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Those considering the Patriots' slot ace in Week 4 lineups are still advised to confirm his status in advance of Sunday's 1:00 ET kickoff, but at this stage, Edelman is in line to be active. Per Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Edelman's Week 4 workload will hinge on how he feels as Sunday's game progresses. Edelman was unable to finish Week 3's win over the Jets after sustaining the injury that led to him being listed as questionable this weekend.

May not see full snap share Week 4
Though Edelman (chest) is expected to play Sunday against the Bills despite being listed as questionable, his snap count will hinge on how he feels physically as the contest progresses, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: After picking up the chest injury in the Week 3 win over the Jets, Edelman was a limited participant in the Patriots' practices Wednesday through Friday. The Patriots were apparently encouraged by how the wideout looked following the final session of the week, but Rapoport notes there's a chance Edelman's reps could be more limited than usual while he plays at less than 100 percent health. The potential of a reduced snap share and target count renders Edelman a more risky selection in DFS…read more

Analysis: Edelman left last weekend's victory over the Jets early after suffering a chest/rib injury.

Edelman (chest/ribs) was listed as a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: Jeff Howe of The Athletic previously suggested that "there's been some early-week skepticism" about Edelman's availability for Sunday's game against the Bills.

It's at least a positive sign that he practiced Wednesday in some fashion rather than sitting out the session.

Edelman (ribs) does not appear to be nursing a serious injury and isn't ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Edelman's X-rays came back negative after he exited Week 3's win over the Jets, but he could receive an MRI on Monday to discern whether he sustained damage to his rib cartilage.

Injury not too serious
Edelman's ribs injury is not believed to be serious, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.
Analysis: Edelman "should be OK", a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter, according to Reiss. With the Patriots releasing Antonio Brown earlier in the week, losing Edelman as well would have been a major blow to the offense ahead of a Week 4 matchup with a Bills team that's tied for the AFC East lead with a 3-0 record. While we're still awaiting official word on his status, it's safe to say that Edelman has at least avoided a major injury.

Four catches in Brown's debut
Edelman caught all four of his targets for 51 yards and added a one-yard rush in Sunday's 43-0 win over Miami.
Analysis: Edelman tied with new top wideout Antonio Brown for the team lead in catches while coming up five yards short of Brown's team-high receiving total, though the slot receiver was kept out of the end zone while Brown hauled in a touchdown in his Patriots debut. The passing game as a whole didn't need to kick it into high gear in this blowout, but there should be enough volume to go around for Edelman even with Brown on board, and Edelman should benefit from decreased defensive attention moving…read more

Leads team in targets
Edelman caught six of 11 targets for 83 yards in Sunday's 33-3 rout of Pittsburgh. He also rushed once for eight yards and completed a pass on a trick play for 32 yards.
Analysis: Edelman and Brady put on a clinic against the Steelers' man coverage, running drags and slants to convert crucial drive-extending plays. The Patriots' recent acquisition of Antonio Brown will add another mouth to feed to this receiving corps, but Edelman's job as the team's slot man should go unchallenged. The 2018 Super Bowl MVP should remain a solid PPR option against the Dolphins in Week 2.

Possible role reduction
Edelman could face significant competition for receptions in the form of Antonio Brown, who signed with the Patriots on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Despite Brown's size (5-foot-10, 181 pounds), the star wide receiver ran nearly 75.8 percent of his snaps from the outside with the Steelers in 2018. As a result, he shouldn't threaten either Edelman or Josh Gordon's playing time much, as all three could share the field without much interference. Edelman's rapport with quarterback Tom Brady will likely afford him plenty of targets each week, but it's hard to imagine a scenario where the 33-year-old will receive a true No. 1 receiver's workload…read more

Analysis: Though Edelman didn't see any snaps after he took a hard fall on his left hand during the Patriots' preseason finale, the team downplayed his early departure afterward. His absence from Wednesday's injury report confirms that slot ace will be ready to play Sunday against the Steelers. As such, Edelman is poised to maintain his high-volume role in New England's passing attack.

Escapes with no thumb injury
Edelman didn't re-injure his thumb during Thursday's preseason finale against the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Edelman didn't play any more snaps after he took a hard fall on his left hand at the end of a 20-yard reception on the game's opening drive. He may have slightly jammed his wrist, but he didn't seek medical attention and appears to have avoided any issues with his previously fractured left thumb. Edelman should be fine for Week 1 against the Steelers on Sunday Night Football.

Edelman was in uniform prior to Thursday's preseason game against the Panthers, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
Analysis: Edelman did some work on the practice fields behind Gillette Stadium prior to the contest, so there's no guarantee that he'll see much, if any, action Thursday night, but it's nonetheless a good sign that he's in uniform after having just recently been removed from the Patriots' non-football injury list due to a thumb injury.

That's a possible indication that Edelman was slated to get his work in pre-game, instead of playing against Carolina.

Practicing in pads
Edelman (thumb) wore pads at Monday's practice, which likely means he's been removed from the non-football injury list, Ryan Hannable of WEEI reports.
Analysis: The transaction presumably will be announced later in the day, as players on the NFI list aren't allowed to practice with teammates. Edelman has been out all summer with a broken left thumb, but there's never been much concern about his status for Week 1 against Pittsburgh. Even with Josh Gordon reinstated from suspension, Edelman is a clear favorite to lead the Patriots in targets. The 33-year-old had a 92 to 67 advantage in targets in the 10 games both he and Gordon played last season.

Officially on NFI list
The Patriots placed Edelman (thumb) on the non-football injury list Wednesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Edelman is facing three more weeks of recovery from a left thumb injury, so this move was more or less expected. It's unclear if the Patriots will risk a potential aggravation by having Edelman play during the preseason, but at this point in his career, he can get by with little-to-no in-game reps before Week 1. Edelman has managed 103 catches (on 153 targets) for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns per 16 games played since becoming a regular part of the New England offense in 2013.

The missed practice time isn't a huge concern for a 33-year-old veteran with 115 regular-season games and 18 playoff appearances to his name. Edelman's absence should free up additional first-team work for a number of players, including N'Keal Harry, Maurice Harris and Braxton Berrios.

Analysis: The 2019 Super Bowl MVP was entering the final year of his contract, so an extension was expected to get done at some point this offseason. Due to an ACL tear in 2017 and a four-game suspension to kick off his 2018 campaign, Edelman has not played a full season of football since 2016, but Tom Brady's most reliable wideout will remain alongside him for a 10th season and more with this extension.

Snags Super Bowl MVP honors
Edelman brought in 10 of 12 targets for 141 yards in the Patriots' 13-3 win over the Rams in Super Bowl LIII on Sunday. He also rushed once for eight yards and returned two punts for two yards.
Analysis: Edelman was the no-brainer choice for Super Bowl MVP honors on a remarkable night where he constantly seemed to befuddle the Rams' secondary. The shifty veteran became the seventh wide receiver in NFL history to garner the award, and the second one in franchise history alongside Deion Branch. Seven of the receptions and 93 of Edelman's yards came in the first half, but he provided his game-long 27-yard grab on the first possession of the third quarter.

Edelman caught seven of 10 targets for 96 yards during Sunday's 37-31 AFC Championship Game overtime win over the Chiefs.
Analysis: Edelman was quiet through the early stages of the contest, but he made several big plays late in regulation and overtime to boost his overall line. After leading the team in targets, catches and receiving yardage, the veteran now has 16 receptions (on 23 targets) for 247 yards through a pair of postseason games. Edelman will be a key cog in the passing attack once again in the Super Bowl against a Rams team that has been vulnerable to opposing wideouts this season.

Edelman turned 13 targets into nine catches for 151 yards in Sunday's 41-28 divisional-round win over the Chargers, while also adding a seven-yard carry.
Analysis: Edelman surpassed Reggie Wayne (93) for the second-most postseason receptions of all time, as his 98 catches are eclipsed only by Jerry Rice's gargantuan total of 151. While Edelman's no Rice, he's the unquestioned No. 1 wide receiver in New England heading into what should be a high-scoring AFC championship game in Kansas City next Sunday.

Analysis: Edelman's five-yard touchdown completed the scoring with 3:26 remaining. He's the clear-cut No. 1 wide receiver for New England heading into the playoffs, which is quite a feat for a guy who couldn't even play in the season's first four contests due to a PED-related suspension.

Paces passing game in win
Edelman caught six of 10 targets for 70 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-12 win over Buffalo.
Analysis: Edelman was the lone productive target for quarterback Tom Brady, accounting for more than half of his 126 passing yards. His touchdown was a 32-yarder on fourth down in the third quarter. With fellow wide receiver Josh Gordon (suspension) away from the team now, Edelman should see all the targets he can handle against the Jets in Week 17.

Strong effort in Week 15 loss
Edelman brought in seven of 11 targets for 90 yards in the Patriots' 17-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
Analysis: Edelman paced the Patriots in receptions and receiving yardage, and his 34-yard grab coming out of the two-minute warning set New England up at the Steelers' 35-yard line. However, Tom Brady could only muster a trio of short completions to James White the rest of the way, with his final pass intended for Edelman near the goal line on fourth down failing to connect. From an individual perspective, it was another strong performance for the veteran wideout, and he's now racked up 16 receptions and…read more

Gets into end zone Sunday
Edelman hauled in nine of 12 targets, turning in 86 receiving yards and one touchdown during Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
Analysis: Edelman has paced all New England pass catchers with nine targets per game since returning from suspension in Week 5, edging scatback James White for that distinction (8.6 targets per contest). Certainly the most trusted wide receiver among Tom Brady's arsenal of offensive weapons, Edelman has transformed a healthy workload into steady fantasy production, with at least four catches or a touchdown in eight of his nine appearances. In Week 15, he'll oppose a Steelers defense that entered the…read more

Catches three passes
Edelman logged 66 out of a possible 74 snaps on offense in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Vikings, en route to carrying two times for 35 yards and hauling in three of his eight targets for 25 yards.
Analysis: Edelman has had better days in terms of efficiency, but he remains heavily involved in the Patriots offense and is therefore a solid option in PPR formats thanks to his ample snap count and reliable target share.

Scores key touchdown in Week 12 win
Edelman (ankle) caught four of five targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-13 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Edelman's 21-yard touchdown broke a 13-13 tie with 1:52 remaining in the third quarter. He's eclipsed 50 yards in six of seven games played this season and has three touchdowns to boot, so roll Edelman out with confidence against the Vikings in Week 13.

Practices fully
Edelman (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday.
Analysis: The Patriots' bye week gave Edelman the healing time he needed to get ready for Sunday's game against the Jets. As a result, he's poised to maintain his high-volume role in the New England offense this weekend.

Present for practice
Edelman (ankle) was on the field for Wednesday's practice, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports.
Analysis: Wednesday's practice is the only session of the week for the Patriots, who are on bye. Edelman was forced out of this past Sunday's loss to the Titans, but the severity of his ankle injury has subsequently been downplayed. While it's expected Edelman will be limited to some degree at practice next week, the assumption remains that he'll be able to fill his usual starting role in the slot Nov. 25 against the Jets.

Avoids serious injury
The ankle injury Edelman suffered Sunday against the Titans is not considered serious, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Per the report, Edelman is not expected to miss much, if any, time. Working in his favor is that the Patriots are on bye Week 11, which will afford Edelman added healing time in advance of the team's Nov. 25 tilt against the Jets. As that contest draws closer, we'd expect Edelman to be listed as a limited practice participant, but for now his chances of being ready to play Week 12 are looking favorable.

Exits game with ankle injury
Edelman was forced out of Sunday's game against the Titans in the fourth quarter with an ankle injury.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Edelman -- who was previously dealing with an ankle issue before being removed from the Patriots' injury report Friday -- caught nine of his 12 targets for 104 yards. He'll no doubt benefit from the added healing time provided by the team's upcoming Week 11 bye.

Good to go this week
Edelman (ankle) does not carry a Week 10 injury designation in advance of Sunday's game against the Titans.
Analysis: After being limited Wednesday and Thursday, both Edelman and Cordarrelle Patterson (neck) were removed from the team's injury report Friday. As a result, the Patriots list six players as questionable this week, in a game that will feature a coaching matchup between Bill Belichick and one of his former players, Mike Vrabel. Now minus an injury designation, Edelman is poised to maintain his high volume role in the New England offense on Sunday.

Logs limited session
Edelman (ankle) was listed as limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman logged 64 of 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's win over the Packers, hauling in six of his 10 targets for 71 yards, rushing twice for 28 yards and completing a 37-yard pass. With no reported setbacks coming out of that contest, it's assumed his limitations Wednesday were mainly for maintenance purposes.

Contributes in three ways
Edelman caught six passes for 71 yards, rushed two times for 28 yards, and completed his only pass attempt for 37 yards in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Packers.
Analysis: Edelman literally contributed every way he could Sunday, getting involved on some trickery in the second half to help kickstart the Patriots' offense. He even almost nabbed a pass intended for Josh Gordon in the fourth quarter, but he let up at the last second to allow his teammate to make a better play on the ball and score a long touchdown. Gordon's production has fluctuated based on whether or not Rob Gronkowski (back/ankle) has been in the lineup, but Edelman's role (8.8 targets per game)…read more

Suits up Sunday night
Edelman (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Edelman played 96.1 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps in Week 8, and assuming no setbacks Sunday night, he should see a steady flow of targets as QB Tom Brady's most trusted receiving option in a passing attack minus star tight end Rob Gronkowski.

Expected to play Sunday night
Edelman (ankle) is expected to play Sunday night against the Packers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Good news for those hoping to use the Patriots' PPR ace in Week 9 fantasy lineups. He'll be needed by the team Sunday, especially with the status of key play-makers Rob Gronkowski (back) and RB Sony Michel (knee) to be determined in pre-game warmups.

Listed as questionable for Sunday
Edelman (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Fellow receivers Josh Gordon (hamstring) and Cordarrelle Patterson (neck) are also listed as questionable, but back-to-back practice appearances Thursday and Friday should ease most of the concerns about Edelman's availability. The slot wideout missed practice Wednesday while tending to an illness, but he seems to have made a full recovery from the ailment, given that it's an ankle injury at the root of his designation. Added clarity on Edelman's status will hopefully come before the first wave…read more

Returns to limited practice Thursday
Edelman (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman missed Wednesday's practice, but we'll attribute his absence to an illness that the Patriots no longer list on their Week 9 injury report. So far there's nothing to suggest that either Edelman or Josh Gordon (hamstring) are in any danger of missing Sunday night's contest against the Packers, but we'll let you know if that changes. Meanwhile, tight end Rob Gronkowski (ankle/back) did not practice Thursday, so his status for this weekend's action is less clear.

Returns to practice
Edelman (ankle/illness) returned to practice Thursday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Edelman was one of five New England players who sat out Wednesday's walk-through practice, but his return to the field Thursday puts him on track to play Sunday night against the Packers. We'll circle back on Edelman s' status later Thursday to note his official level of practice participation.
