Patriots WR Julian Edelman had a knee procedure and will miss this week's game against the Bills.
ESPN's Adam Schefter said Edelman will be out for "some period of time," a perfectly vague phrase for an aged veteran coming off a procedure on a knee that has long bothered him. Edelman hasn't been fantasy relevant since the season's first few weeks, even in one of the league's worst wide receiver groups. While New England's offense should be avoided by fantasy players, those desperate for viable Week 8 wideout option might turn to N'Keal Harry (concussion), who hasn't practiced this week, or Jakobi Meyers, who led the Patriots in targets last week. Edelman can be dropped in 12-team leagues with short benches. He should've been dropped weeks ago in 10-team formats.
