Patriots | Stevenson leads RBs with 37 snaps as Henderson's time 'declines of late' Fri Oct 23, 07:10 AM
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson led the team's running backs with 37 offensive snaps in Thursday's game against the Bears. 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 | TreVeyon Henderson plays 16 snaps in return from ankle injury Sun Oct 18, 06:26 PM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson had seven carries and played 16 offensive snaps in Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets after being listed as questionable with an ankle injury. Henderson told reporters it was "by Tuesday or Wednesday" that he thought he could play this weekend.

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. |

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs was injured in the first quarter of Sunday's game against the Jets with 4:10 left. He is questionable to return (shoulder).

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 | Drake Maye off the injury report, no game status for Sunday Fri Oct 16, 03:34 PM

Patriots | A.J. Brown questionable for Sunday vs. Jets Fri Oct 16, 01:32 PM
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. |

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was shown on video running and cutting four days after suffering a high ankle sprain. Adam Schefter reported that the injury will sideline Henderson for multiple weeks.
| Footballguys view: High-ankle sprains take time to recover from, and it's usually about a month before we see players back in action. 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. |

Patriots | A.J. Brown returning to practice Wednesday, 21-day IR window opens Wed Oct 14, 01:01 PM
Patriots WR A.J. Brown will return to practice on Wednesday, opening his 21-day window to be activated off injured reserve. Brown has been on IR with an ankle sprain. The Patriots host the Jets on Sunday.
| Footballguys view: Brown's window to return is open, and the Patriots could activate him for the game against the Jets. If he does play in Week 6, Brown is likely to be limited as the team works him back into the game plan. That makes Brown a WR3/flex candidate for Fantasy GMs excited to get him back. With more time (and when he gets back into football shape), Brown will get back to his normal weekly WR1 status. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson out 'multiple weeks' with high ankle sprain Tue Oct 13, 10:18 AM
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson suffered a high ankle sprain during Sunday's win over the Raiders and is expected to miss multiple weeks, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported, citing league sources.
| Footballguys view: Henderson will not need surgery, and because he is regarded as a quick healer, the Patriots are hoping he returns "sooner rather than later." RB Corey Kiner moves up from No. 3 to No. 2 on the depth chart, with RB Lan Larison on the practice squad to fill the third spot. But Rhamondre Stevenson handled most of the backfield snaps following Henderson's departure last week. Expect that to continue. |

With Henderson sidelined, Rhamondre Stevenson saw the majority of the backfield snaps, while Corey Kiner mixed in but fumbled his first touch. We'll learn more about Henderson's status for the team's Week 6 game against the Jets, but expect a lot of Stevenson in this one, even if Henderson is available. |

Patriots | Efton Chism III plays career-high 57 snaps as 'top Mack Hollins replacement' Mon Oct 12, 06:45 AM
Patriots WR Efton Chism III played a career-high 57 offensive snaps against the Raiders on Sunday as the top replacement for injured WR Mack Hollins.
| Footballguys view: New England ran 75 offensive snaps, one week after running 76, well above its 2025 average of 68.5, and Drake Maye had another "lights out" game. But beyond all that, Chism delivered five receptions and 57 yards on six targets (a team high) against the Raiders. While A.J. Brown will return at some point soon, receivers like Chism, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams will continue to get opportunities. |

Patriots | Doubs held to 1 catch for 16 yards in win over Raiders Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs caught 1 pass for 16 yards on 3 targets in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 2.1.
| Footballguys view: Doubs scored twice last week, but somehow was barely involved on an afternoon that saw the Patriots score 45 points. Drake Maye is playing so well that you have to consider keeping Doubs in as a WR3/Flex against the Jets suspect pass defense next week, but once A.J. Brown is back, Doubs might not be worth a roster spot in typical leagues. He's not an essential hold in short bench leagues after the scramble to pick him up coming into this game. |

Patriots | Douglas catches 4 passes for 65 yards, two touchdowns in win over Raiders Sun Oct 11, 04:10 PM
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 4 passes for 65 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets in Sunday's 45-17 win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He was projected for 5.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 20.5.
| Footballguys view: Douglas had a long touchdown on a busted coverage to open the scoring and he closed the scoring with a short touchdown to get the Patriots offense into the 40s on an ideal day for them. He's not more than a what-the-heck flex off of the waiver wire against the Jets next week, but Douglas's ability to make plays as a complementary receiver will help Drake Maye's value until A.J. Brown is ready to return in a few weeks. |

| Footballguys view: Two weeks after there were reports that Maye had lost his confidence, he was nearly flawless against a Raiders defense that frustrated him in a 20-13 season-opening loss last year. Maye is back to being a high ceiling QB1 play heading into a matchup at home against the Jets. |

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was ruled out during Sunday's game against the Raiders. Henderson had walked to the locker room for further evaluation and was listed as questionable to return with an ankle injury before being officially ruled out.
| Footballguys view: Henderson finished with four carries for 22 rushing yards and one catch for 16 yards when he came in as the healthier of the two Patriots backs. Rhamondre Stevenson will be a strong RB2 play for as long as Henderson is out. Corey Kiner is the #3 back, but he fumbled in this game, so he's no threat to Stevenson. |
