 Julian Edelman - WRNov. 20 - 4:19 pm et
Julian Edelman (questionable, arm) was limited in Patriots practice Friday.
Edelman was limited every day this week, but is fully expected to play against the Jets. He's not a WR3 or flex option against a difficult pass defense.

 Sammy Morris - RBNov. 20 - 3:50 pm et
Sammy Morris (questionable, knee) indicated Friday that he will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Jets.
Morris is expected back, but the Patriots tell players to be tight-lipped on injuries. "Sore, but I feel good," Morris said. "We'll see Sunday. Just taking it day by day." Morris' role is unclear coming off a month-long knee sprain.

 Fred Taylor - RBNov. 20 - 12:16 pm et
Fred Taylor (ankle surgery) still has not resumed practicing.
It's impressive that the Pats have been able to keep him off injured reserve so long. Taylor hasn't played or practiced in seven weeks and remains without a timetable for return. He's deservedly on most fantasy waiver wires.

 Julian Edelman - WRNov. 19 - 4:25 pm et
Patriots WR Julian Edelman (arm) was limited again Thursday.
Edelman will play against the Jets Sunday, likely as the No. 3 receiver. Barring an injury to Randy Moss or Wes Welker, he's without value in fantasy leagues.

 Sammy Morris - RBNov. 19 - 4:23 pm et
Sammy Morris (knee) was limited again in Thursday's practice, as expected.
Morris is expected to return to face the Jets this week, but it's possible that he'll be eased back into the backfield picture. Take a "wait and see" approach to his fantasy value this week.

 Sam Aiken - WRNov. 19 - 4:10 pm et
Patriots WR Sam Aiken (hip) returned to practice in a limited fashion Thursday.
Aiken has a shot to play this week, but he won't see as much time as the No. 3 receiver with Julian Edelman now healthy.

 Shawn Springs - DBNov. 19 - 11:02 am et
Shawn Springs was a healthy scratch in the Week 10 loss to the Colts.
Springs, 34, was expected to be the team's No. 1 corner when he signed a three-year deal last April. But the emergence of Jonathan Wilhite across from Leigh Bodden has turned Springs into a bystander. To his credit, Springs didn't complain about his demotion. "Man, whatever coach decides is best for the team at the moment," Springs said.

 Julian Edelman - WRNov. 18 - 4:36 pm et
Patriots WR Julian Edelman (arm) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.
Edelman has resumed playing and caught two balls for 14 yards with a TD in New England's Week 10 loss. He still needs injuries to matter in fantasy.

 Sammy Morris - RBNov. 18 - 4:35 pm et
Sammy Morris (knee) was limited in Patriots practice Wednesday.
Morris will likely be limited all week and listed as questionable Friday, but he's slated to return Sunday against the Jets. His role is uncertain, however, after a month-long layoff. Laurence Maroney and Kevin Faulk have played well for the most part recently, and Morris was used only at fullback early on.

 Laurence Maroney - RBNov. 17 - 5:49 pm et
Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio expressed confidence in Laurence Maroney following his late-game fumble that led to the Colts' dramatic comeback Sunday night.
"We have a lot of confidence in Laurence and his ability and I’m sure he’s anxious to bounce back this week," said Caserio. It remains to be seen if Bill Belichick feels the same way. With Sammy Morris (knee) due back this week, Maroney will be a risky fantasy option against the Jets.

 Joey Galloway - WRNov. 17 - 5:25 pm et
The Bengals worked out free agent WR Joey Galloway, DT Ed Johnson, and S Mike Doss on Tuesday.
If signed, Galloway would ostensibly fill Chris Henry's role on offense. Unfortunately, he no longer has Henry's talent. Johnson was effective in September, but the Colts cut him when he fell out of shape by mid-season.

 Sebastian Vollmer - TNov. 16 - 10:40 am et
Patriots rookie LT Sebastian Vollmer kept Colts DE Dwight Freeney sackless for the first time all season Sunday.
While Robert Mathis was dominating RT Nick Kaczur, Vollmer more than held his own against the All Pro. Bigger and more athletic than Matt Light, it's likely that Vollmer will hold onto the starting job even when Light returns from a knee injury.

 Sam Aiken - WRNov. 16 - 9:41 am et
Patriots WR Sam Aiken left Sunday's game with a hip injury and did not return.
The Patriots did not update Aiken's condition. With Julian Edelman returning from a broken arm, Aiken's status as the No. 3 receiver is fleeting at best. It's safe to drop him in all leagues.

 Tom Brady - QBNov. 16 - 9:32 am et
Patriots players supported coach Bill Belichick's decision to go for a fourth and two on his own 29-yard line that ultimately led to a dramatic come-from-behind victory for the Colts.
"I love the call," Tom Brady said. "I love the fact that we’re out there with a chance to win. The coach has confidence that we can make it. I had confidence. We all did." Despite the lambasting he's taking from the national media, advancednflstats.com has determined mathematically that Belichick's decision gave his team the best chance to win in that situation.

 Julian Edelman - WRNov. 16 - 12:33 am et
Julian Edelman caught two passes for 14 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' Week 10 loss to the Colts.
Edelman broke from his defender and snagged a nine-yard touchdown in the second quarter. It was the rookie's first career score.
 Ben Watson - TENov. 16 - 12:29 am et
Ben Watson was held to one reception for 36 yards in Week 10.
Watson's flashed excellent speed on his one catch, but he's a fourth or fifth option in the Patriots' passing attack and is only attractive in certain matchups. The Pats take on the division rival Jets next week.
 Laurence Maroney - RBNov. 16 - 12:17 am et
Laurence Maroney rushed 13 times for 31 yards and a touchdown and caught two passes for 15 yards in Week 10 against the Colts.
Maroney burst through for a one-yard touchdown run on the Pats' second drive of the game. But Kevin Faulk was trusted with nearly as many carries and gained more yards with the opportunities. Maroney has scored in four straight games, but that streak may end soon with Sammy Morris (knee) on the verge of returning.
 Kevin Faulk - RBNov. 16 - 12:09 am et
Kevin Faulk ran 12 times for 79 yards and caught two passes for seven yards in Week 10 against the Colts.
Faulk and Laurence Maroney split the load in Indianapolis while Sammy Morris and Fred Taylor nursed injuries. Faulk ran hard and effectively but is still buried in a running back rotation and has little fantasy value.
 Wes Welker - WRNov. 16 - 12:07 am et
Wes Welker caught nine passes for 94 yards in Week 10.
Welker was again a major player in the Patriots' short passing game. He also made waves returning punts, scampering for 69 yards on a return at the end of the third quarter and tallying 117 return yards overall. The speedy slot receiver remains a stellar option in all fantasy leagues.
 Randy Moss - WRNov. 15 - 11:58 pm et
Randy Moss caught nine passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns in Week 10 against the Colts.
Moss dominated the Colts' injury-riddled secondary in every way. He snagged a 55-yard pass on the Patriots' second drive, a 63-yard touchdown early in the second quarter and a six-yard end zone strike in the fourth. He'll try to continue his dominance next week against Darelle Revis and the Jets.
