Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson out, Patriots sign RB Lan Larison to 53-man roster Sat Oct 31, 04:00 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) was downgraded to out on Saturday and did not travel with the team for Sunday's game at the Dolphins after missing Thursday's and Friday's practices. The Patriots signed RB Lan Larison to the 53-man roster to take Henderson's game-day spot. RB Rhamondre Stevenson, who has played 64.8% of the offensive snaps over the last four games, will likely continue to carry a heavy workload, while RB Corey Kiner will likely see his snap count increase and Larison could play some on offense and return kickoffs.

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson downgraded to out for Sunday at Dolphins Sat Oct 31, 01:01 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was downgraded to out on Saturday for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins. Henderson had been listed as questionable with an illness after missing Thursday's practice.
| Footballguys view: The illness must not have cleared up for Henderson. The Patriots will continue to lean on Rhamondre Stevenson as their lead back. Operating as the team's workhorse, Stevenson could post RB1 numbers against the Dolphins. Corey Kiner becomes the primary change-of-pace back behind Stevenson. We like Kiner in the RB4/deep flex range in Week 8. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown downgraded to out for Sunday at Dolphins Sat Oct 31, 01:01 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown was downgraded to out on Saturday for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins. Brown had been listed as questionable with an ankle injury after missing practice on Thursday and Friday.
| Footballguys view: Brown had a 'flare up' from his existing knee injury, and the Patriots want to give him more recovery time. The team is also going to be without Mack Hollins and Romeo Doubs in Week 8. DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism are the healthy receivers on the roster. Douglas is a WR2/flex, Williams is a 'what the heck' flex, while Chism is a WR4/deep flex option in PPR formats. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson questionable for Sunday at Dolphins Fri Oct 30, 01:35 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins, coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Henderson missed Thursday's practice with the illness.
| Footballguys view: Even if he's active, Henderson can't be trusted in lineups right now. He's averaging 34.4 scoreless yards per game over his last five outings. He's worth stashing in case Rhamondre Stevenson gets hurt, but the Patriots seem to be losing faith in Henderson as ball security and pass blocking remain issues. He's a shaky RB4 if active. |

Patriots | Vrabel says A.J. Brown's status for Sunday 'is questionable' Fri Oct 30, 01:12 PM
Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday that WR A.J. Brown is questionable for Sunday's game at the Dolphins. "His status is questionable," Vrabel said. Brown, who has a knee injury, was not seen at practice on Thursday or Friday.
| Footballguys view: Brown was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice and then downgraded to back-to-back DNPs. While the team hasn't said anything officially, Daniel Rotman said Brown "will be out multiple weeks due to injury." Brown landed on IR after injuring his ankle in Week 1, but his recent injury involved his knee. Reports swirled this offseason about a degenerative knee condition that caused the Rams to back out of a trade, but the Patriots were willing to sign off on it. There's hope that Brown can recover and be the guy the Patriots traded for, but he's looking like a riskier play as we get deeper into the season. With an afternoon kickoff, fantasy managers will want a plan if Brown can't go. We'll hope for more information before the early games kick off. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson in street clothes, absent from start of Thursday practice Thu Oct 29, 02:45 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson walked out of the locker room in street clothes with a backpack on as reporters entered for scheduled media access on Thursday. Henderson was also absent from the beginning of Thursday's practice, Doug Kyed reported. Henderson returned from an ankle injury earlier this month.
| Footballguys view: Henderson is listed as "DNP" for Thursday's practice with an illness designation. That may not keep him out of the game in Week 8, but Fantasy GMs should circle back on Friday. We've got him as a flex play against the Dolphins on Sunday. |

Patriots | No sign of A.J. Brown at Thursday practice after new knee injury listing Thu Oct 29, 02:28 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) was not seen at practice on Thursday. Brown was also absent during the open locker-room period earlier in the day, which is a change in routine. He has been listed as a limited participant in practices since his return from injured reserve, and the knee injury added to his listing on Wednesday was a new development.
| Footballguys view: Brown was limited on Wednesday, so clearly he's downgraded to a "DNP" on Thursday. That's not a good sign for his availability in Week 8. His status for the game against the Dolphins is unknown, so Fantasy GMs need to circle back on Friday to see if he's at least questionable. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown's injury listing clarified as knee/ankle on Wednesday report Wed Oct 28, 04:43 PM
The Patriots informed reporters on Wednesday that WR A.J. Brown's injury on the team's Wednesday injury report should be listed as knee/ankle. Brown was limited in Wednesday's practice ahead of the Week 8 game at Miami. Aside from a lengthy list of players on injured reserve, it was 'maybe the healthiest Wednesday report' the Patriots have had 'in a long time.'

Patriots | A.J. Brown 'sometimes' still pushing through right high-ankle sprain Wed Oct 28, 02:08 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown said on Wednesday that he is sometimes still trying to get his explosiveness back since his right high-ankle sprain. "Yeah, sometimes. Sometimes I see it and sometimes I'm pushing through. But none of that stuff really matters. I'm out here, so...." Brown said.
| Footballguys view: Brown caught 3-of-6 targets for 48 yards in the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Bears. He's not quite himself, and the chemistry he has with Drake Maye is a work in progress. Against the Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, we've got Brown in the WR2 range. Fantasy GMs won't be too confident, but they don't want to miss out if/when Brown has a breakout week. |

| Footballguys view: TE Hunter Henry, CB Marcus Jones, DE Dre'Mont Jones, LB Christian Elliss, LB Robert Spillane, S Kevin Byard, and OT Morgan Moses were also absent. We'll keep a close eye on practice reports when the team gets back on the field Wednesday. |

RB TreVeyon Henderson played 13 snaps as his time "declines of late," and he has played 27.1% of the offensive snaps on the year. New England ran a season-low 54 offensive plays after averaging 68.

Patriots | A.J. Brown on the practice field Tuesday 'working on his craft' Tue Oct 20, 03:25 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown, who is dealing with an ankle sprain, was on the practice field Tuesday "working on his craft." Brown was limited in Monday's practice ahead of Thursday's game.
| Footballguys view: In his first game back from a high ankle sprain, Brown had a career-high three drops. He played 52 of a possible 68 snaps. As ESPN.com's Mike Reiss noted, Drake Maye targeted Brown a team-high 10 times, and the connection usually wasn't on target -- Brown totaled three receptions for 27 yards. Perhaps most disappointing was when Brown had a beautiful deep ball up the right sideline go through his hands, and later dropped a pass on fourth down. We expect a better version of Brown this week after he's had a chance to knock some rust off. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson a full participant to open short week Tue Oct 20, 12:10 AM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was listed as a full participant on Monday's estimated injury report after the team held only a walkthrough to open the short week before Thursday's game against the Bears.
| Footballguys view: Henderson had 40 yards from scrimmage in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets despite being questionable with a high ankle sprain. He had been limited throughout last week but did not miss a practice. |

Patriots | Romeo Doubs hopeful to return after Week 11 bye Mon Oct 19, 07:37 PM
Patriots WR Romeo Doubs (IR, shoulder) is hopeful to return after the team's Week 11 bye, according to a source. His injury is not expected to be a long-term absence at this point. Doubs was placed on injured reserve on Monday after injuring his shoulder in Sunday's win over the Jets.

Patriots | Romeo Doubs placed on injured reserve Mon Oct 19, 04:00 PM
The Patriots placed WR Romeo Doubs on injured reserve on Monday. Doubs suffered a shoulder injury in Sunday's win over the Jets and was ruled out of the game. New England signed DB Elliott Davison to the 53-man roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: A.J. Brown's return to the lineup mitigates this loss, but Doubs, who is WR36 overall through six weeks, has been a viable play for fantasy managers. His absence will allow DeMario Douglas, Efton Chism III, and Kyle Williams to continue getting opportunities. Douglas, who was already taking advantage of Brown's absence, currently sits at WR34 on the season. |

Patriots | Douglas catches 7 passes for 86 yards, a touchdown in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 7 passes for 86 yards and a touchdown on 8 targets and lost 1 fumble in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 5.7 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 16.1.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had two scores in a part-time role in Week 5, and he took on more work this week after Romeo Doubs left with a shoulder injury in the first quarter. He should be a clear add in fantasy leagues. He has the most dependable chemistry with Drake Maye of any of the healthy Patriots wide receivers after A.J. Brown looked very rusty in his return against the Jets. |

Patriots | Stevenson held to 36 yards on 14 carries in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 14 times for 36 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 14.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 3.6.
| Footballguys view: TreVeyon Henderson was the back that fumbled in Week 6, but Stevenson was ineffective and both of them yielded to former UDFA Corey Kiner, who was acquired for a seventh-round pick right before the season. We'll be listening closely to see what the plan is going forward in this backfield, but for now Stevenson is just a what-the-heck flex until we get more clarity with a Thursday night game at Chicago coming up. |

Patriots | Maye throws for 235 yards, three touchdowns in win over Jets Sun Oct 18, 04:15 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 18 of 32 passes for 235 yards with 3 touchdowns and ran 4 times for 24 yards in Sunday's 26-19 win over the New York Jets. He was projected for 20.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 23.8.
| Footballguys view: Maye had a big game with A.J. Brown back in the lineup, but Brown wasn't his normal self as Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, and Hunter Henry caught the touchdowns. Maye will be a high-ceiling QB1 against the Bears on Thursday, but with offensive line issues and the Bears dominating time of possession for long stretches, Maye will also have some bust potential on the road. |

The Patriots will activate WR A.J. Brown (ankle) from injured reserve, and he is expected to return on Sunday against the Jets. Brown was listed as questionable for the game after practicing on Friday.
| Footballguys view: Brown probably won't play his full complement of snaps, but when he's on the field, he should be a prime target for Drake Maye, who is red-hot coming off of two sparkling performances following three rough games to start the season. Consider Brown a boom/bust WR3/Flex this week. |

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Brown was on the field as Friday's practice got underway.
| Footballguys view: Brown was initially expected to miss about six weeks, but he seems on track to return immediately following his four-week IR stint. The Patriots, missing Mack Hollins, are desperate for receiver help. Brown may not be 100 percent in this matchup, but fantasy managers who have been waiting to put him in their lineups can use him as a WR2 this week against the Jets. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson not ruled out for Sunday, Patriots to 'continue to evaluate' Fri Oct 16, 01:22 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was not ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, head coach Mike Vrabel said on Friday. Vrabel said the team will continue to evaluate Henderson, who was limited at practice on Thursday. Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain in Week 5.
| Footballguys view: There's something mildly fishy happening here. Early-week reports said that Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain and would likely miss a few weeks. He returned to practice at the start of the week and has returned every day since. The team is firm in its stance that Henderson's MRI showed a high ankle sprain, but Henderson looks fine in clips circulating from practice. If he's active, some managers may not have a choice but to start him. While he normally ranks as a back-end RB2, he's more of a borderline RB3 given this week's injury uncertainty. |

He's pushing to play in Week 6, but it's something we can't call right now. Circle back on Friday to see if Henderson can pull off a miracle and play against the Jets. |
