You're likely right. Still with my terrible options at WR, he's worth the add for me. All I'm left with is Moncrief level players.

If I know BB like I think I know BB, this is probably more of a motivational ploy to get the team psyched up that there is light at the end of the tunnel and people will be getting back on the field soon. I really don't see them putting Edelman in harm's way anytime soon, as they definitely need him for the post season to really go anywhere. I would suggest he will be out this week and next week and doubtful the week after that. He will probably be questionable for the last week of the regular season and they will figure out what is at stake in Week 17 before they decide if it is worth the risk of playing him. I would be surprised if he plays at all in the fantasy season, and if he did, I would think he would be on a minimal pitch count.

I'm not sure I'd feel good about my opponent picking him up for free & starting him.

In typical RW fashion, they've doubled down on the speculation & posted week 15 is a possibility. There's been no update to the original 6-8 week timetable. He got hurt Week 10.

Sounds a little similar to Dez. Maybe a little ahead of Dez at this point. But I thought I remember reading Dez was doing some jogging and running during practices for a couple weeks before he actually got back out there.

Man, I have Gronk, Amendola, and Chandler and would love to drop Chandler for Edelman.
I have a bye this week so I could take a leap of faith that Gronk will be back week 15 and do it. But I also don't want Chandler picked up and used this week or take the chance Gronk isnt ready for next week......

You might be better off letting your opponents pick him up and then have it blow up in their faces if he suits up week 16 and plays 12 snaps.
. First game back with likely trip to revis island? Probably not startable

And have 3 receptions, 2 tds in those 12 snaps. Id rather he be sitting on my bench than anywhere else.

Edelman practicing today- no word whether full or limited participation

No. 1 player on my bid list for this week. I don't see a lot of talk about him in Waiver Wire articles this week with so much focus on all the new RBs so I'm hoping people are forgetting about him.
"Julian Edelman (foot) is practicing again on Wednesday.
Edelman returned to practice last Friday after breaking his foot Week 10. He's going to need a full week of practice before returning to game action, and that could happen this week. According to onlookers, Edelman looked "crisp and quick" and "pretty good" running routes on Wednesday. We'll continue to update Edelman throughout the week and into the weekend."

Game up on both Denver and Cincy. Have the tie breaker against Cincy but Denver has the tie breaker against NE.Can't afford to lose a game unless Denver loses first.

How many weeks did Dez practice before he played again (same injury)?
They are going to bring him along slowly. He won't be a factor in a real game until Week 19.

That ain't Edelman. Just some dude they put in a #11 jersey and trotted out there for the cameras. More Belichick trickery I says.

Another "limited" practice today.
He's on my bench this week behind Julio, Watkins, Baldwin, and Hurns. Anybody seriously thinking about starting him this week?

Got him on my bench as well behind Fitz, ODB, and Michael Floyd. If he is active this week and plays, I will most likely start him over Fitz or Floyd next week (if I make it).
Not sure I have the huevos to start this week if active, unless Bellichek or Edelman come out and say he's 100%, which wont happen even if its true.

This Week: Announced active, plays very limited snaps. Catches 2 balls for 35 yards.
Next Week: Practices all week. Teams start him. Plays about half the snaps and goes 4 for 54 vs Revis.
That's a fairly optimistic outlook.
The only way you're trusting him in your championship game is if he has a great week this week. And even then, he's got Revis. Droppable.

We were saying the same thing about Gronk last week. How did that work out for us experts?
Deamon
Footballguy
Don't think anyone was saying Gronk was droppable.
All I'm saying, is that if he goes off this week, great you can use him (even though he has a tough Revis matchup) next week. But IF he doesn't do much this week (which I don't think he will, if he even plays), how can you start him in the most important game of the season, vs one of the best shutdown CB's in the NFL, coming off an injury and a game he didn't look great in?
obviously different situations and injuries... but still itneresting to me. gronk was in on 41/67 snaps in his first game back. He was DNP, LP, LP heading in to week 14... and was DNP all week 13. Prior to getting hurt gronk was pretty much playing every snap.
So the week 14 friday LP w/friday out designation (suggesting he was not close since he didnt even earn the 25% doubtfull tag) Heading to sunday week 15 with perhaps LP, LP. LP makes it possible edelman plays this sunday, but they have shown a willingness to put a star player on a snap count. So can a less than 100% edelman be counted on to produce getting say 50% of snaps? (all this assume he is active sunday of course). would probably mean 5-6 targets so could mean TD dependant in std scoring format. doesnt seem to be a lot of upside unless we get reports saying he'll play a big role (seems unlikely)
tough call, but i hope to at least get a chance to make it

I picked him up, don't need him but you never know what will happen with injuries. A couple weeks ago I had Gronk/Graham at TE and lost them both. Also lost Ingram same week or maybe the week after. Luckily Gronk is back. But I have 4 WRs ahead of Edelman and can start 3. So I'm hopefully never stuck with the conundrum. But I like having a possibly high volume guy in case I see 2 injuries this week (that's all assuming I win and am still playing next week). The guy I dropped was Rudolph so I'm not losing out on a big time guy to hold Edelman on my bench.

I was referring to his anticipated limited production and snap count. I think it proves that Belichek will play them if they are healthy enough to go.

If he plays, I think I'm starting him over either Buck Allen or Amari Cooper.

They both are a pain tolerance thing. Once a bone has healed enough, it's the inflammation you worry about. Edelman may not play but it's not because of your stated reasons.

It's not just a pain tolerance issue. It's also performance related specifcally impacting if Edelman can continue to make clean quick cuts.
Futz
Footballguy
If he is relatively pain free, there would be no reason why he couldn't make cuts. We are not talking connective tissues here like ligaments or tendons.
