2011 Outlook: Deep-league Only
Most people hadn't heard of Julian Edelman till week 2 in the season when Wes Welker went out due to injury, Edelman went off for 8 receptions for 98 yards. He was the hot fantasy pick-up after that, but he ended up disappointing owners as he did nothing much the rest of the season. Then in the regular season finale, he came into to replace the injured Wes Welker and caught 10 passes for 103 yards. Edelman is a Welker clone: small, great hands, great over the middle, not the fastest and will also not score many TDs, making him much better in PPR leagues than in standard scoring leagues. Edelman will fight with veteran off season acquisition Torry Holt for the chance to step into Welker's role. More likely they will end up splitting passes Welker used to see. Edelman should only be looked at in very deep standard leagues, where he should make for a solid flex (unless he ends being Brady's go-to-guy with Welker out, then he moves up to a solid #3, maybe even #2 receiver in PPR leagues).
August 6, 2010: Edelman's value is directly related to Welker's health. With Welker looking better and better every day, Edelman's value drops more and more every day. Keep an eye on Welker's rehab; if he looks ready to go for week 1, drop Edelman to a late round pick.
