New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught 5 passes for 102 yards on 9 targets in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 10.5 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 12.7.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 21 of 38 passes for 299 yards with 3 touchdowns and 3 interceptions in Sunday's 45-27 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He was projected for 20.3 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 21.3.
| Footballguys view: Maye took a step backward after weeks of steady play. Maye had thrown just one pick in his previous four games. Maye made questionable decisions on all three of his turnovers, two of which set up Packers touchdowns. While it was a top-10 fantasy finish (through Sunday's late-afternoon games), Maye has some cleanup to do before the Patriots Week 10 game against the Lions. |

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. He did not return (knee).
| Footballguys view: As SBNation noted, Stevenson was again one of their most consistent sources of offense before departing. He totaled over 70 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble. With Stevenson sidelined, New England turned the backfield over to Lan Larison and Corey Kiner. The Patriots did not need to push Stevenson to return down multiple scores, so we'll be watching for more on the severity of this one. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Packers with a knee injury. Stevenson was hurt late in the third quarter on a six-yard reception, remained down, and went to the blue medical tent before departing to the locker room. He totaled over 70 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble before leaving. With Stevenson sidelined, New England turned the backfield over to RBs Lan Larison and Corey Kiner.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson was injured on a play in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Packers with 3:29 left. No return designation has been posted yet.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson left with a knee injury and was ruled out. He had six carries for 32 yards and three receptions for 46 yards and a score before leaving. Corey Kiner is the next man up on early downs with Lan Larison the passing down back for any games that Stevenson misses. The Patriots travel to Munich, Germany to face the Lions next week and then have a bye, so hopefully Stevenson will only miss one game. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins and WR Kyle Williams were the team's starting wide receivers for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Hollins, who was activated from injured reserve on Saturday after a calf injury, was listed as questionable for the game. QB Drake Maye and RB Rhamondre Stevenson were also in the starting lineup.

Kyle Williams player page
Patriots WR Mack Hollins is active for Sunday's game against the Packers after returning from injured reserve following a four-game absence with a calf injury. Hollins played 63% of offensive snaps before hurting his calf in Week 4 against the Bills. The expectation is that he might see some prominent snaps as the Z-receiver, which in turn might bump second-year WR Efton Chism III down the depth chart.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry is active for Sunday's game against the Packers. Henry, who was listed as questionable with a foot injury, practiced only on Friday this week after getting hurt in last Sunday's game at Miami.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) has a realistic chance to play Sunday against the Packers despite practicing just once this week. Henry, listed as questionable, missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday.
Link to storyHunter Henry player page
Patriots WR Mack Hollins was activated from injured reserve on Saturday and is expected to play in Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Hollins missed four games with a calf injury suffered in the second half of a Week 4 win over the Bills. He led the Patriots in receptions (15) and receiving yards (209) through the first four weeks, and assuming he plays his usual workload, he will likely move into the top 'X' receiver role. Hollins joins DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism III as the team's available wideouts, with WR A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) ruled out and WR Romeo Doubs (shoulder) on injured reserve.
| Footballguys view: Hollins will help QB Drake Maye and the Patriots passing attack. His return does ding the fantasy potential of DeMario Douglas going forward. We have Hollins as a super-deep "what the heck" flex in Week 9. We like Douglas as a low-end WR or flex option for Fantasy GMs. |

Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) is listed as questionable on the Week 9 injury report. Mack Hollins was limited in Friday's practice.

Patriots QB Drake Maye (right shoulder) did not receive a game status and will be available for Sunday's game against the Packers.
| Footballguys view: Maye has been on the injury report for the last few weeks with a shoulder injury, but it hasn't impacted his play or kept him from elite production. He's a QB1 this week against the Packers. |
Drake Maye player page
The Patriots have listed TE Hunter Henry (foot) as questionable for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Henry was present at Friday's practice after missing the Wednesday and Thursday sessions.
| Footballguys view: Henry hadn't practiced since exiting Week 8's game with a foot injury, so it was good to see him back out there on Friday. He'll be a touchdown threat given his red zone usage, making him a high-end streamer if he clears the injury report. If he doesn't, rookie Eli Raridon becomes an interesting streaming option. Raridon only caught one pass last week, but he ran a route on 74% of Drake Maye's dropbacks and pulled four targets. With an afternoon kickoff, Raridon is the easiest pivot option for Henry managers. We'll hope for more information before the early games kick off, but Henry managers without a better option should pick up Raridon ASAP. |

The Patriots have ruled RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Earlier Friday, Henderson revealed he had been hospitalized for 'unexplained neurological symptoms' and said testing had been 'reassuring.'
| Footballguys view: No surprise here after Henderson's public message earlier today regarding his neurological health issues. Henderson hopes to return soon and can sit on fantasy benches until then. |

The Patriots have ruled WR A.J. Brown (knee) out for Sunday's Week 9 game against the Packers. Brown did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. He was also ruled out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Reports last week said Brown would likely miss multiple weeks, and he's now out for the second straight week. Brown will attempt to return to practice next week. But with a Week 11 bye, fantasy managers should brace for another week of inactivity and a Week 12 return, at best. |

A source close to Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson says the possibility of a stroke has been ruled out, for now, with "no sign" of one from the tests run so far. Henderson has been sidelined and was hospitalized with what he described as 'unexplained neurological symptoms.'
Link to storyTreVeyon Henderson player page
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson released a statement on Friday revealing that he recently suffered an unexpected medical emergency involving unexplained neurological symptoms that required several days of hospitalization. Henderson said doctors have yet to determine the cause. He was downgraded to out with an illness for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins and was away from the team with the illness on Wednesday.
| Footballguys view: Henderson's statement referred to neurological symptoms that are impacting his physical performance, but the details of the condition are vague. His long-term health and safety matter most right now, and the Patriots will hope their young running back can return soon. While Henderson is out, expect Rhamondre Stevenson to get some extra work, with Corey Kiner mixing in as a change-of-pace option. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (illness) did not practice on Wednesday. He was not listed among the changes on Thursday's injury report.
| Footballguys view: Henderson may need more time to heal. He's battled various injuries, including a recurring ankle injury, and that's taken a toll on the young runner. Rhamondre Stevenson is set for another large role in Week 9. We like Stevenson as an RB2 with upside for Sunday's game against the Packers. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Patriots WR A.J. Brown (knee) did not practice again on Thursday ahead of the Week 9 game against the Packers. Brown also did not practice on Wednesday, and he was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: We may not see Brown again this week. The team is managing his knee injury, and they want him available for what they hope is a deep postseason run. Fantasy GMs are making other plans. |

Patriots TE Hunter Henry was absent from practice on Thursday for the second day in a row. Henry was limited to eight snaps in Sunday's win over the Dolphins after injuring his foot. Head coach Mike Vrabel said on Tuesday he had 'no expectations yet' for Henry.
| Footballguys view: We could see rookie Eli Raridon as the top tight end for the Patriots in Week 9. Raridon has been flashing in limited appearances so far this year, and he's building a connection with Drake Maye. Raridon caught 1-of-4 targets for five yards in the Patriots' Week 8 win over the Dolphins. He's a streaming option for Fantasy GMs in Week 9 if Henry doesn't play. |
Hunter Henry player page
Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) was not seen during the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice. Henry left last Sunday's win over the Dolphins with the foot injury, and head coach Mike Vrabel said Tuesday he had no expectations yet for him. Rookie TE Eli Raridon is listed first on the Patriots' healthy tight end depth chart, followed by Cameron Latu, Tanner Arkin and practice-squad TE Tanner Conner.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson was away from the team with an illness on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said. Henderson missed Thursday's practice last week with an illness and was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: An illness usually doesn't impact a player this long, unless it's something more serious. We'll know more when more information about Henderson becomes available. In the meantime, get ready for plenty of Rhamondre Stevenson (again) in Week 9 if Henderson can't play. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
Patriots WR A.J. Brown will not practice on Wednesday, head coach Mike Vrabel said. Brown was downgraded to out for last Sunday's game at the Dolphins.
| Footballguys view: Brown may have to miss another contest as he deals with a knee injury that flared up on him last week in practice. Mack Hollins may be back for the Patriots this week, as his 21-day IR window was opened. We'll know more about Brown's status on Friday at the latest. |
A.J. Brown player page
Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) will return to practice on Wednesday, with the team opening his 21-day window to return from injured reserve, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported. Hollins was placed on injured reserve after the Week 4 win over the Bills and has missed the last four weeks. Before the injury, he had played 63% of the team's offensive snaps and caught 15 passes for 209 yards.
| Footballguys view: Hollins seems to be trending toward playing in Week 9 against the Packers. His return is a boost for QB Drake Maye, but it could take some of the targets away from a guy like DeMario Douglas. We view Hollins as a "what the heck" flex if he does play in Week 9. |

Patriots TE Hunter Henry left Sunday's 24-19 win over the Dolphins in the second quarter with a foot injury after catching his third pass, tested the foot before halftime and again early in the third quarter, and was ruled out midway through the fourth. Head coach Mike Vrabel did not provide an update on Monday: "I don't have any expectations yet. We'll see how he responds here. He wasn't able to finish the game. So, we'll see where he is. I know Hunter will do everything that he can to get back to help us, and we'll go from there."
| Footballguys view: With Henry out, rookie TE Eli Raridon and the wide receiver group saw an uptick in snaps. Wednesday's first practice of the week ahead of the Week 9 game against the Packers will provide further information. |

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 16 of 20 passes for 199 yards with 2 touchdowns and ran 8 times for 5 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Miami Dolphins. He was projected for 20.9 fantasy points (half-PPR) and finished with 22.5.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry left Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins early with a foot injury and though he was designated as questionable to return, he did not.
| Footballguys view: Henry was the team's top receiver with three catches for 30 yards before leaving. Rookie TE Eli Raridon took over as the top tight end, with Cameron Latu and rookie Tanner Arkin also active at the position. The Patriots were already without WR A.J. Brown and RB TreVeyon Henderson and have just four active wide receivers. We'll be following up on Henry's status in the coming days. The Patriots play the Packers in Week 9. |
Eli Raridon player page
Patriots WRs Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III and rookie TEs Eli Raridon and Tanner Arkin were in New England's offensive starting lineup for Sunday's Week 8 game at the Dolphins. QB Drake Maye and RB Rhamondre Stevenson also started. The offensive line was LT Will Campbell, LG Walter Rouse, C Jared Wilson, RG Matt Pryor and RT Morgan Moses.

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 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 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. |
A.J. Brown player page
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. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
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 WR A.J. Brown (knee/ankle) was not seen during the media-access portion of practice on Friday. Brown also missed practice on Thursday, and his status for Sunday's game at Miami was described as 'up in the air.'

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. |
TreVeyon Henderson player page
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. |
A.J. Brown player page
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 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. |

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson did not practice on Monday as the team managed the workload of several veterans during a bonus practice day following a weekend off.
| 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. |
Rhamondre Stevenson player page
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 WR A.J. Brown's ankle is off the final injury report, and he will be available for Thursday night's game against the Bears. Brown was limited in practice on Monday. New England is without wide receivers Doubs and Hollins, both on injured reserve, leaving Brown, DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams and Efton Chism III as the available wideouts.
Link to storyA.J. Brown player page
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. |
