ESPN's Field Yates is reporting Patriots WR Julian Edelman (heel) is officially active for Week 7. (Field Yates on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact:

Although he is dealing with a heel injury, Edelman is playing in Sunday's matchup in Chicago. Edelman is an upside WR3 in PPR scoring formats in Week 7. He is the expected beneficiary from Rob Gronkowski's absence.
