START ‘EM

47. . Wide Receiver. Patriots. Julian Edelman. 1. player

Julian Edelman‘s four-game suspension has been served and the Patriots top receiver is back! He’s an absolute must start this week because we all know Tom Brady has missed Edelman ever so much throughout these first four weeks.

It was blatantly obvious that the Patriots had zero weapons aside from Rob Gronkowski, so having Edelman back now takes the double coverages off of Gronk. While Edelman might take a bit to get going this week, he’s going to get a ton of targets.

The Colts secondary got shredded by Deshaun Watson and the Texans last week, allowing two Houston receivers to go for over 100 yards. Those who drafted Edelman had to sweat out the first four weeks of fantasy season, but one of (what should be) your highest scorers is coming back and you have to find a way to get him in your lineup.
