Patriots | Maye does enough to win Mon Jan 12, 12:21 AM
Drake Maye completed 17 of 29 passes for 268 yards, with one touchdown and one interception in a 16-3 win over the Chargers in the wild card game Sunday night. He also ran for 66 yards on 10 carries and lost a fumble. Rhamondre Stevenson ran the ball 10 times for 66 yards and added 75 yards on three receptions. Kayshon Boutte had four catches for 66 yards and Hunter Henry had three catches for 64 yards and a touchdown. TreVeyon Henderson carried the ball nine times for 27 yards and had one catch for nine yards. Stefon Diggs had two catches for 16 yards.
| Footballguys view: The Chargers defense did not roll over, as the Patriots didn't score a touchdown until well into the second half. Drake Maye turned the ball over twice, which kept the Chargers in the game along with holding New England to three field goals. Maye created most of the Patriots offense, with Stevenson the much more effective back than the second round rookie TreVeyon Henderon, who didn't have any impact plays on the night. Hunter Henry had the only touchdown on a perfect ball from Maye just past the outstretched fingers of Derwin James, and Kayshon Boutte was a bigger factor than Stefon Diggs. The Patriots will have another tough defense up next week whether the Steelers or Texans win on Monday night. |

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 17 of his 29 passes for 268 yards, a touchdown and an interception, and he rushed seven times for a team-high 69 yards in a 16-3 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in the Wild Card game. Maye also lost a fumble. RB Rhamondre Stevenson finished with 10 carries for 53 yards and caught three passes for a team-best 75 yards, and RB TreVeyon Henderson gained just 11 yards on seven carries while catching one pass for nine yards. WR Kayshon Boutte hauled in four passes for 66 yards, and TE Hunter Henry turned three catches into 64 yards and a score. WR Stefon Diggs was limited to 16 yards on two receptions, and Efton Chism III caught a 20-yard pass and failed to complete his only pass attempt. WR Kyle Williams ended up with one catch for seven yards, and WR Demario Douglas gained three yards on his only catch. S Craig Woodson's 11 tackles led the team, and his seven solo stops were also a high mark for New England. The Patriots combined for six sacks and 11 quarterback hits, and DT Milton Williams and LB K'Lavon Chaisson both notched a pair of sacks.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (non-injury) did not participate in practice Friday, Jan. 9, but is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: It sounds like there's no reason for concern here as Henderson isn't on the final injury report. He's in a split backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson, but his big-play upside and pass-catching abilities make him a viable fantasy option, even with a limited load. |
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (non-injury) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is not on the injury report for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: Henry has emerged as one of Drake Maye's favorite targets, especially near the end zone. In a smaller slate of playoff games than a normal regular-season week, he's one of the top fantasy tight ends. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Jan. 9, and is listed as questionable for the Wild Card playoff game.
| Footballguys view: A mid-week addition to the injury report is never a good thing, and Boutte hasn't logged a full practice since being added to Thursday's report. If he's active, there's a chance that he's limited. He's a risky start this weekend against the Chargers. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) was limited during practice Thursday, Jan. 8.
| Footballguys view: Being added to the injury report during the week of a Wild Card game is not a good sign. He's been bothered by hamstring injuries before and had to miss time because of them. His ability to take off the top can come in handy when you have a strong-armed QB like Drake Maye. Boutte is in danger of missing Sunday's game against the Chargers. |

To cap off the regular season, Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson finished with 131 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns, along with 22 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown, and the Patriots completed their remarkable turnaround season with a 38-10 win over the Miami Dolphins on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: The veteran running back, who was a game captain Sunday, was the team's biggest impact-maker on their first offensive drive, carrying the ball twice for 65 yards on a three-play, 70-yard series in which rookie TreVeyon Henderson ran in for a 5-yard touchdown (his first of two scores). Pro Football Focus charted Stevenson with 104 yards after contact and three broken tackles in the performance. Stevenson, who was drafted as RB40 this summer, finished the regular season with 603 rushing yards and seven touchdowns while sharing the backfield with Henderson, who was drafted as RB18 heading into his first season. |

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson needs 142 yards in Week 18 to become the first New England rookie to reach 1,000 rushing yards since Robert Edwards in 1998.
| Footballguys view: Henderson has been an amazing player for the Patriots this year. It took some time for him to get going, but Henderson has been a big part of their offense since his breakout in Week 8. Against the Dolphins on Sunday, Henderson should be considered an RB2 with upside. There's a chance he gets to that 1,000-yard mark. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (rest) was limited in practice on Friday, Jan. 2, and no longer appears on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is coming off back-to-back games with 100-plus yards, looking more and more like his old self as he gets distance from last year's torn ACL. Expect him to serve as the team's primary receiver. He's a back-end WR3 this week against the Dolphins, as there's no guarantee the starters stay in for the entire game. |

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (concussion) practiced in full all week and has been cleared for Week 18.
| Footballguys view: Boutte has dealt with a few nagging injuries this season, and this concussion kept him out of last week's game. There isn't enough volume to make him a plug-and-play fantasy option, but his role as a downfield threat who scores deep touchdowns keeps him on the weekly radar. |
