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 OT Will Campbell (knee) and DT Milton Williams (ankle) was activated from the Reserve/Injured list to the 53-man active roster Saturday, Jan. 3. S Jeremiah Pharms Jr. was released, while OL Brenden Jaimes and DL Leonard Taylor III was elevated to the active roster from the practice squad.
Link to storyNew England Patriots OT Will Campbell (knee) could be activated from the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Jan. 3, ahead of Week 18's game versus the Miami Dolphins, according to head coach Mike Vrabel. Campbell no longer appears on the team's injury report after logging three full practice sessions during the week.

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. |

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
| Footballguys view: Henry and the Patriots are trying for the no1 seed, so they'll play their starters in Week 18. If he's full on Friday, that would help us have confidence that Henry will play. |
Hunter Henry player page
The New England Patriots plan to play their starters in Week 18 as they play for the number one seed, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots need the Broncos to lose against the Chargers in order to be in position for the no.1 seed. With Justin Herbert not playing, it seems like the Broncos can wrap up that first-round bye on Sunday. Anything can happen, but the Patriots need to win and get help in order to be the top seed in the AFC. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs has been charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery charges stemming from an incident Tuesday, Dec. 2. Diggs' attorney, Michael DiStefano, disclosed to the court that Diggs has made a financial offer to resolve the dispute with the alleged victim in this case. He is scheduled to be arraigned on Friday, Jan. 23, just two days before the AFC Championship game is scheduled to be played.
| Footballguys view: According to the Patriots, Diggs "categorically denies the allegations" against him -- despite the efforts to reach agreement on monetary resolution with the alleged victim. The Patriots (13-3) have their final regular-season game on Sunday against the Dolphins, then will be in the AFC playoffs. As Profootballtalk.com notes, the charges won't affect Diggs' ability to play in the 2025 postseason (and the team's statement suggests they won't either). The impediment, if any, to Diggs participating in the playoffs would come from the NFL, which could place him on paid leave. We'll watch for more on that. |

New England Patriots OT Will Campbell (knee) may have his 21-day practice window opened this week, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Campbell has been sidelined by a knee injury. A return to practice will open a 21-day window to activate Campbell, so he would be able to return for the playoffs even if the Patriots don't take him off of injured reserve ahead of their Week 18 game against the Dolphins. |

Link to storyNew England Patriots TE Hunter Henry went for three receptions, 49 yards and a touchdown on three targets in Week 17 against the New York Jets.
| Footballguys view: Henry wasn't a huge hit, but if you went to him to cover a George Kittle or Brock Bowers absence, you were satisfied with what you got. He'll be a player of some consequence in playoff fantasy football leagues. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs posted six receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 17 against the New York Jets.
| Footballguys view: Diggs has ended up being much more impactful than Chris Godwin even though he was seen as a fallback to Godwin when the Bucs veteran receiver chose to stay in Tampa over basically a blank check from the Patriots. Diggs was also ready to play earlier than Godwin, who had to have a second surgery on his injured ankle. Diggs had a short slump earlier in December, but finished with two huge games to reward fantasy players who received in him. |

New England Patriots RB D'Ernest Johnson ran four times for five yards in Week 17 against the New York Jets, and he wasn't targeted in the passing game.

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rushed eight times for 47 yards and a touchdown in Week 17 against the New York Jets, and he added five receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown on five targets.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson has been the Patriots running back who adds value at times as a receiver instead of rookie TreVeyon Henderson as the drafting of his potential replacement seemed to light a fire under the veteran. He wasn't consistently making a fantasy impact this season, but if you trusted him in a great Week 17 matchup, you were very happy with what you got today. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson rushed 19 times for 82 yards in Week 17 against the New York Jets, while he was not targeted in the passing game.
| Footballguys view: Rhamondre Stevenson got the two running back scores as the passing game involvement we expected hasn't really materialized. He still has shown home run speed and should only get better in an offense that has moved into the penthouse of quality and fantasy value. Henderson rallied to play after suffering a concussion last Saturday and while he didn't produce fantasy fireworks, he showed he can log a heavy workload in the bread and butter running game. |
New England Patriots LB Jahlani Tavai posted six total stops, including four of the solo variety, while adding two tackles for loss in the Week 17 against the New York Jets.

New England Patriots S Dell Pettus registered six total stops with four solo tackles, one sack, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hit in Week 17 against the New York Jets.
Link to storyNew England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 19-of-21 passes for 256 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 17 against the New York Jets, as QB Joshua Dobbs mopped up. He also ran for 22 yards on three carries. Maye is the first Patriots QB to have five touchdown passes in a game since QB Tom Brady in 2017.
| Footballguys view: Maye is the first quarterback in NFL history to complete 90+% of his passes in a game while throwing for over 250 yards and five touchdowns. This is a statement about where Maye is in his career as much as it is a statement about where the Jets defense is right now. Maye has graduated to elite fantasy quarterback status. He'll be going all out along with the rest of the Patriots offense against Miami with the #1 seed on the line if the Chargers (who are only playing for wild card seeding) can beat the Broncos. |
