Patriots' Julian Edelman: Hauls in seven passes Sunday

Edelman hauled in seven of 11 targets for 76 yards in Sunday's 31-24 win over the Dolphins.

Analysis:

After Jimmy Garoppolo suffered a shoulder injury Sunday and rookie Jacoby Brisset took over at QB, Edelman (a signal-caller in college) was probably the next man up at the position for the Patriots. Looking ahead to Week 3, Edelman figures to be catching passes from Brissett on Thursday against the Texans. It's a scenario that cuts into Edelman's short-term fantasy upside, though fortunately top QB Tom Brady is slated to return to the team's lineup in Week 5.
