Julian Edelman Fantasy

The New England Patriots signed wide receiver Julian Edelman to a two-year extension on Tuesday, according to a source. It could allow Edelman to finish his career with the Patriots. He'll receive an $8 million signing bonus and $12 million guaranteed. He was suspended the first four games in 2018 and finished with 74 receptions for 850 yards and six touchdowns in 12 games. Over a full season next season, Edelman could easily return to the 1,000-yard mark if he can stay healthy. Quarterback Tom Brady should lean on his safety blanket heavily with limited options around him in the passing game.

The Chargers finished up the season allowing only five touchdowns to receivers over their last 11 games. Edelman has enjoyed an active season, catching 74 passes for 850 yards and six touchdowns. But he has struggled producing in the red zone at times and thrives more as a possession receiver. The Patriots offense has sputtered to the finish line to wrap up the season and may elect to lean on the running game.
