He\u2019s tough,\u201d Edelman said. \u201cHe\u2019s instinctive. He\u2019s good in and out of breaks, so he\u2019s pretty good.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Asked if he has some tricks up his sleeve for his matchup with Fuller, Edelman said, \u201cwell, if I told you then they wouldn\u2019t be tricks.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There\u2019s also the possibility that Fuller could see time on Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski when he\u2019s flexed out as a receiver, but that doesn\u2019t seem as likely as the matchup with Edelman.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Over the last two seasons, Fuller has only lined up across an opposing team&#8217;s tight end 38 times in coverage, according to Pro Football Focus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are a number of matchups to focus on in this one, especially when the Chiefs have the ball. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But when the Patriots offense is on the field, Edelman versus Fuller will have a significant impact on the outcome.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>For all CLNS Patriots Videos\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCVbz7gN6HGoBXXkhIWMd3Ww\">SUBSCRIBE to our CLNS Media YOUTUBE Channel<\/a>.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>For the most in depth and comprehensive player and game analysis check out Patriots All-22 with host and Patriots beat reporter Evan Lazar.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/patriots-all-22-new-england-patriots-nfl-game-footage\/id1272925236?mt=2\">Listen and Subscribe HERE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>Get the inside scoop on the Patriots every week on CLNS Media\u2019s Patriots Beat Podcast with host Mike Petraglia.
