New England Patriots QB Drake Maye has reported early for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Only rookies are currently required to be at camp. But with a handful of offensive rookies looking to carve out immediate roles, Maye is getting a head start on building chemistry as he enters a new offense in Year 2. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs eyeing Week 1 Thu Jul 17, 12:46 AM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) is 'trending' towards playing in Week 1, according to Albert Breer of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Diggs suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 last year, but it looks like he could be ready for the season opener. The Patriots signed him to a big deal this offseason with the idea he could be a no.1 receiver for second-year QB Drake Maye. Expect the team to ramp Diggs up as the season goes on as he truly may not look like himself until the halfway point. From a fantasy perspective, Diggs is a 'what the heck' flex option with flex appeal (WR3) if he is healthy and plays up to his potential. |

Patriots | Hunter Henry allergic to end zone Mon Jul 7, 12:59 AM
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry ranked eight or better in catches, yards and targets among tight ends in 2024, but his two touchdowns ranked 26th at the position.
| Footballguys view: Even though the touchdowns were limited, Henry had career highs in catches and yards (66 catches on 97 targets for 674 yards), and there's an obvious connection brewing between him and Drake Maye. It's reasonable to expect that connection to grow in Year 2. Of course, Austin Hooper was also a factor last season. But with Josh McDaniels back as offensive coordinator, both tight ends could be in line for even more production. Henry is TE20, available in Round 14, making him a solid value as a TE2. |

Patriots | DeMario Douglas may see time at multiple spots Sat Jul 5, 09:26 AM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas could see playing time at multiple spots around the formation this season, according to head coach Mike Vrabel, who added that he has been impressed with his attitude during practices.
| Footballguys view: Douglas is a player we like calling '7-11' because he's always open. It doesn't matter where he lines up, Douglas has the quickness to create space against cornerbacks. Stefon Diggs might take up a lot of slot snaps this year, meaning Douglas might be lining up outside to attack defenses. Douglas has a current ADP of WR72, so that means he's a player to keep on waiver wire speed dial in case he hits. |

Patriots | DeMario Douglas in line to be slot WR Wed Jul 2, 01:16 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas is the leading candidate for the slot receiver job entering training camp, in the opinion of PatriotsWire's Jordy McElroy.
| Footballguys view: According to local observers, Douglas was a favorite target of Drake Maye as OTAs wound down last month. Douglas' WR73 Average Draft Position is appealing in PPR formats, given the potential volume. At the very least, he'll turn out to be a bargain at that price if he handles the kind of role we've slot receivers handle under Patriots coordinator Josh McDaniels in the past. |

Patriots | Efton Chism posing serious threat Wed Jul 2, 12:41 AM
New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III is 'posing a serious threat' to WRs Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker for a roster spot, in the opinion of Patriots Wire's Jordy McElroy.
| Footballguys view: Chism, who broke Cooper Kupp's Eastern Washington school single-season record for catches with 120 last year, quickly became a favorite of Drake Maye, who estimated he found the 5-10, 195-pound target for "like 50 catches" in organized team activities. That only means so much before the start of training camp. Still, it unquestionably highlighted Chism's potential value, given the Patriots' desire to put Drake, the 2024 No. 3 overall pick, in more favorable positions after a rookie year marked by challenges. Chism isn't fantasy-relevant yet. But he's worth watching. |
Patriots | Antonio Gibson in line for RB3 role Mon Jun 30, 10:05 AM
New England Patriots RB Antonio Gibson appears to be in line for the No. 3 role in the backfield, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss.
| Footballguys view: Gibson ran the ball 120 times for the Patriots last season, but he only wound up with 538 yards and a touchdown. As MSN.com noted, although he made three starts, Gibson never seemed to be on the verge of overtaking Stevenson, and now, with the addition of rookie TreVeyon Henderson, is another rung down the ladder. |

New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne and WR Kayshon Boutte received work with the first-team offense during offseason practices.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots have an interesting group of receivers...for many reasons. Stefon Diggs and Demario Douglas are the top two receivers, and guys like Bourne and Boutte will be working behind them. Both Bourne and Boutte are intriguing dynasty prospects we like in those formats, especially with the expected growth from QB Drake Maye. |

Patriots | Efton Chism earned praise with spring work Wed Jun 25, 01:25 AM
New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III received praise from both QB Drake Maye and head coach Mike Vrabel for his play during spring practices, and The Athletic's Chad Graff believes that Chism will 'enter camp with a decent shot at making the team.'
| Footballguys view: Jakobi Meyers and Wes Welker went undrafted, and Julian Edelman was a seventh-round pick. The Patriots have an illustrious history of hitting on wide receivers with minimal investment, causing a groundswell of excitement for the undrafted Chism. The slot role in OC Josh McDaniels' offenses has been a lucrative role worth targeting in fantasy. Demario Douglas, Stefon Diggs, and Ja'Lynn Polk are all in play for that role as well. But if Chism grasps it, he'll be one of the biggest steals from this year's rookie class. |

Link to story Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson brings juice to NE's offense Thu Jun 19, 01:17 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson is a 'home run threat every time he touches the ball' and offers 'a dynamic New England just hasn't had' in recent years, in the opinion of The Athletic's Chad Graff, who writes that the expectation is that Henderson will split carries with RB Rhamondre Stevenson this season.
| Footballguys view: Henderson is a player who has some Christian McCaffrey to his game. Like McCaffrey, Henderson is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He'll work this season in tandem with power back Rhamondre Stevenson, but Henderson could push for 800 yards on the ground with 30-35 receptions as a rookie. That makes him a low-end RB2 or flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |
Patriots | Ja'Lynn Polk on the roster bubble? Mon Jun 16, 01:24 PM
New England Patriots WR Ja'Lynn Polk (shoulder) was limited during offseason practices after undergoing shoulder surgery and could be a candidate for the Physically Unable to Perform list if he makes the team, according to ESPN.com's Mike Reiss.
| Footballguys view: Per Reiss, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, Demario Douglas, and rookie Kyle Williams are locks to make the final roster. The next tier, all of whom made consistent plays in OTAs: Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Efton Chism III. Reiss went on to suggest that Polk's status as a 2024 second-round pick could help buy him another year -- assuming he buys into the â€"effort and finish†mentality of the new staff. But even at that, Reiss believes Polk would open the season deep on the depth chart if he makes it. |

Patriots | New England could have big plans for Demario Douglas Fri Jun 13, 02:57 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas 'looked at home' working out of the slot this spring and was Drake Maye's favorite receiver in the final two practices of the late spring, according to Evan Lazar of the team's website.
| Footballguys view: Douglas has been the favorite target of Drake Maye in OTAs, and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels made fantasy stars out of slot receivers in New England in the past. Stefon Diggs is currently the highest drafted Patriots receiver coming off of an ACL tear, and Douglas is available in the late rounds. That could change as the summer goes on. |

Patriots | Mike Vrabel singing DeMario Douglas' praises Mon Jun 9, 03:25 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas has 'gotten better' and 'picked up everything that we have asked him to do,' according to head coach Mike Vrabel on Monday, June 9.'I love the person. I love his attitude. I love his spirit. He loves to practice. He loves to play this game; he loves football....He's gotten better....He's picked up everything that we've asked him to do,' Vrabel told reporters during his Monday presser.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots drafted Douglas in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, and he quickly proved himself. However, things have not been easy for Douglas, as he's played under three different head coaches in his first three seasons in the NFL. It started with Bill Belichick, where Douglas finished the year with 49 receptions for 561 receiving yards and zero touchdowns. Then, under Jerod Mayo, he recorded 66 receptions for 621 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns. Now, it's time to see what he can do with Vrabel. Douglas opens as WR81 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Patriots | Vrabel Likes Stefon Diggs' Energy At Minicamp Mon Jun 9, 01:19 PM
After receiver Stefon Diggs got himself into a bit of controversy, he's been with the team to end the club's offseason program -- including at minicamp this week. Head coach Mike Vrabel was asked about Diggs and how he's done in the building on Monday. "Good. I mean, he's tried to figure out where everything is and what his role is, making sure that as we add those situations -- the third down, the no-huddle, the red zone -- that he's staying up on it," Vrabel said in his press conference. "He's working hard in his rehab, and when he can -- there's certain drills he can be out there and certain drills he won't be. But I think he's engaged, and I like his energy."
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com suggests, that's about all the Patriots can ask for as Diggs continues to rehab from a torn ACL suffered midway through the 2024 season. In eight games for Houston last year, Diggs caught 47 passes for 496 yards with three touchdowns. A healthy Diggs would likely be the top receiving asset in New England. He's being drafted as WR43 in early drafts. |

Patriots | OC happy with Drake Maye's progress Sun Jun 8, 03:05 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye has done a good job picking up the offense and has shown solid development this offseason, according to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. 'He's doing really well. He's very smart. Works really hard,' McDaniels said. 'He's doing a really good job of digesting the information, processing the corrections when there is a correction to be made, and going out there with a great attitude and mindset the next day.'
| Footballguys view: McDaniels offense is going to be challenging, but it should unlock more of Maye's value than Alex Van Pelt's did last year. The team also added TreVeyon Henderson and Kyle Williams in the draft and Stefon Diggs in free agency to bolster the passing game, and drafted Will Campbell at #4 to improve the line. Maye already had fantasy value in a poor offense, he could be one of the breakout quarterbacks of the year in fantasy league with better surroundings. |
Patriots | Rhamondre Stevenson comfortable with offense Wed Jun 4, 03:52 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson said he is very comfortable with the offensive playbook because offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels was with the Patriots when he was a rookie.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson rushed for 606 yards with five touchdowns during that rookie campaign. He averaged 4.6 yards per carry. Stevenson might still have his spot atop the team's running back depth chart, but New England drafted TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of April's NFL Draft. More action for Henderson would mean less for Stevenson, who rushed for 801 yards and a career-high seven touchdowns for the Patriots over 15 games in 2024. Fantasy investors are drafting that way. Henderson is RB28 on the Footballguys Projections. Stevenson is RB37. |

Patriots | No Word On Whether Stefon Diggs Has Passed Important Physical Tue Jun 3, 03:52 PM
Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs showed up for Monday's OTA session. His presence raises an obvious question. Has he passed the all-important physical mentioned in several portions of his contract? The Patriots have declined to answer whether the physical has been passed.
| Footballguys view: Diggs was on hand for Monday's OTA session; he was limited to individual drills. The physical, if passed, will clear Diggs to fully practice and play. In addition, Diggs' $12 million signing bonus is expressly tied to passing that physical. Until Diggs passes the physical, the Patriots (who have "no plans" to release him) have a potential escape hatch from his contract. Stay tuned. This story will continue to draw headlines until it's resolved. |

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots LB Jahlani Tavai (calf) suffered a calf injury on Monday, June 2, that is expected to keep him sidelined until training camp, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: When Tavai had to exit practice on Monday, reporters noted that it looked like a potentially significant injury. So this latest report is good news. As pointed out by Mike Reiss of ESPN, Tavai had been in the mix at inside linebacker during the offseason program, though free-agent signee Robert Spillane has been leading the charge. |

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport is reporting the Patriots have no plans to release the veteran wideout. Welcome to the NFL news cycle in June. The uncertainty began last week when a viral video showed Diggs providing a baggie of pink powder to women on a boat.

Patriots | Stefon Diggs in the building Mon Jun 2, 11:04 AM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) reported to organized team activities Monday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: Diggs' off-field drama has drawn headlines in recent days. Most recently, local observer Scott Zolak suggested Diggs is in danger of being released. So, with all the noise, it's great that Diggs reported for voluntary sessions. It's also great that Diggs, who has finished as a WR2 or better (including five WR1 finishes) every season from 2017 through 2023, is currently being drafted as WR45 in Round 7. Even if he opens the season at less-than-full speed, coming off a torn ACL suffered last October, he could be very productive in this offense once he hits stride. |

Patriots | Stefon Diggs could be released Sun Jun 1, 11:37 AM
The New England Patriots are considering releasing WR Stefon Diggs, according to Scott Zolak of 98.5 The Sports Hub. On Wednesday, May 28, a video surfaced of Diggs partying on a yacht during Memorial Day weekend with an unidentified pink substance in his possession while surrounded by three women. Zolak claims that the viral video is not the only reason why the organization is considering cutting ties with him, although he did not elaborate on other possible reasons.
| Footballguys view: While Zolak believes Diggs could be cut, he contends the wideout should be retained. "I say he shouldn't be cut because I think he would help Drake Maye and this offense and Josh McDaniels because you would have a true viable guy that would set coverage. Right now, you still don't have a guy who sets coverage. I'm sorry." If healthy, Diggs will significantly upgrade a Patriots' wide receiver room that also includes DeMario Douglas, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins, Kayshon Boutte, Ja'Lynn Polk, and Javon Baker. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) was absent from voluntary organized team activity, Wednesday, May 28, one day after a video of him surfaced on social media in which he was on a boat and flashed an unidentified pink substance while surrounded by three women. 'It's something we're aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' head coach Mike Vrabel said. '... Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.'
| Footballguys view: Vrabel has been communicating with the veteran receiver, and we're unlikely to hear much about this going forward. The NFL has declined comment on the video, and Diggs is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered last year so he wouldn't be participating in OTAs anyway. |

Patriots | Several receivers on the bubble Thu May 29, 12:38 AM
New England Patriots WRs Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Javon Baker, and Ja'Lynn Polk are likely to have a 'spirited competition' for a place on the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss, who considers WRs Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Mack Hollins to be the top-four receivers. Most NFL teams carry five or six wideouts, in which case the group of Bourne, Boutte, Baker, and Polk could be competing for one or two spots.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots added Stefon Diggs this offseason, and they drafted Kyle Williams (Washington State) in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. With the receivers already in place (not named Demario Douglas), there's going to be a fierce competition for roster spots. Playing special teams to give added value will help in determining who makes the team. |

Patriots | Kyle Williams could push for starting role Wed May 28, 01:42 AM
New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams is the team's 'X-factor' at receiver, in the opinion of The Athletic's Chad Graff, who writes that the rookie 'excels off the line of scrimmage, was great against man coverage in college and wins downfield,' which Graff notes were 'three traits the Patriots sorely lacked last season.' Graff adds that 'a lot rides on Williams' development,' as he could become a starter opposite WR Stefon Diggs (knee) with WR Demario Douglas in the slot.
| Footballguys view: While we have Diggs (as WR39) and Douglas (as WR76) as our highest projected Patriots receivers for redraft, Williams is absolutely as described by The Athletic. Footballguy Cecil Lammey notes that Williams has the speed to flip the field on any catch. Given that, Williams is WR8 on the Footballguys Rookie Rankings. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs unlikely to be ready in Week 1? Wed May 28, 01:01 AM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) could 'maybe reasonably' make his debut around Week 4, in the opinion of The Athletic's Chad Graff, who writes that Diggs' recovery and return to form will be essential for QB Drake Maye to take the next step. Diggs is recovering from a torn ACL suffered on Oct. 27, 2024.
| Footballguys view: Although not yet fully cleared for all football activities, Diggs is doing plenty to impress his new teammates in New England. Reports indicate the veteran wideout has looked athletic and explosive while participating in voluntary offseason workouts. Assuming he hits the timetable outlined above, a healthy Diggs, who finished as a WR2 or better (including five WR1 finishes) every season from 2017 through 2023, could provide a boost to fantasy teams. He's currently being drafted as WR45 in Round 7 of early best balls. |

Moses signed a three-year, $24 million contract with the Patriots this offseason. There's not a concern at the moment, and it seems like Moses should be out there during training camp and the preseason. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs on the field Sat May 24, 12:38 PM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) participated in drills during OTAs Thursday, May 22.
| Footballguys view: Diggs is seen as perhaps the primary slot option for the Patriots. He lined up in the slot on 43 percent of his snaps last year for the Texans, and Diggs could be in for quite a bit of targets from QB Drake Maye. Fantasy GMs see Diggs as a player who could pay off as a WR2, but he's getting drafted in the WR3/flex range in early drafts. |

Patriots | Efton Chism III making strong early impression Thu May 22, 03:05 PM
New England Patriots WR Efton Chism III - whose undrafted free-agent contract contains more guarantees than any of the team's seventh-round draft picks - stood out in a big way during organized team activities on Tuesday, May 20, according to NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry. One particular stop-and-go move had Perry reminiscing about Julian Edelman.'The guy who stood out to me today was Efton Chism, and it wasn't because he had this amazing connection with Drake Maye. I don't think Drake Maye threw him a pass in competitive periods. He looked really quick to me. This is the undrafted rookie out of Eastern Washington. He decelerates at a very rapid rate. He'll be running a crosser, catch it and stop on a dime and create separation for himself in that kind of way,' Perry told Tom Curran on 'Patriots Talk Podcast'.
| Footballguys view: Chism has some Danny Amendola to his game (he's not Cooper Kupp - a fellow Eastern Washington alum). He was impressive at the Shrine Bowl earlier this year, and he can get open in a phone booth. Chism is a player we appreciate in super deep dynasty formats. |
Patriots | Drake Maye struggles at practice Wed May 21, 02:16 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye threw four interceptions during team drills at practice Tuesday, May 20.

The offense has several new pieces, including the play-caller. They are still all working to get in sync with one another. It also wasn't all bad news, considering Maye started to settle down later in the practice. Limiting turnovers will be a point of emphasis for the second-year man, who's currently QB17 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Understanding that Stevenson has experienced sudden and heartbreaking losses in a short period of time, teammates privately say they hope to provide him with as much support as possible once he starts spending more time at the facility. Meanwhile, his recent absences during the voluntary offseason program might explain why the team signed veteran Trayveon Williams to a one-year deal on Wednesday, adding another layer of depth to better evenly distribute some of the work. |
