New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21. This means a player is not cleared for practice but can be activated at any time.
Huddle Up: Jennings is in the mix for the RB3 spot behind a combination of Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson for the Patriots this season, but Jennings should be far away from being drafted in fantasy leagues this summer unless injuries mount for New England.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte was available in exchange for a fifth-round pick during the 2026 NFL Draft, and there is a good chance he is moved at some point, in the opinion of SI.com's Albert Breer.
Huddle Up: Boutte has dropped down the depth chart with the addition of A.J. Brown, so there is a good chance to start the 2026 season with another team. He was productive last season and can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson rushed for at least 40 yards four times during the 2025 season, which was tied for second most in the NFL.
Huddle Up: Henderson shared playing time with Rhamondre Stevenson last season and will likely have a similar workload in 2026. Both running backs have fantasy value, and Henderson can be considered a No. 2 or No. 3 back in fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry has posted at least 40 receptions in each of his last five seasons and has played in 81 of the 85 games since joining the Patriots.
Huddle Up: Henry has been a productive part of the passing game since signing with the Patriots and should continue to be a popular target for Derek Maye this season despite the additions at wide receiver. He will probably be a No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues this season but could be a starter against certain opponents.

New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings "appears to have the early edge" in the battle to be the No. 3 running back behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson and RB TreVeyon Henderson.
Huddle Up: With the Patriots already routinely utilizing two running backs, Jennings' role will likely be limited, even if he does secure the No. 3 running back job. Still, he could be worth stashing in deeper formats in case either Stevenson or Henderson misses time.

New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas was a standout performer during the offseason workouts, in the opinion of Patriots.com's Evan Lazar.
Huddle Up: Douglas does not appear to be a starting option at this point for the Patriots but could see more work if the team decides to move on from Kayshon Boutte. He will see a few targets each game this season but will not be a starting option in fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots WR Kyle Williams may not be a consistent weekly part of the passing game this upcoming season unless there is an injury at receiver, in the opinion of NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry.
Huddle Up: The Patriots added A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs this offseason, so Williams is behind them and possibly Kayshon Boutte on the depth chart. Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation because Williams can be a late round pick in leagues if he does receive a role in the passing game.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has officially reported to New England's mandatory minicamp, according to a source on Tuesday, June 9.
Huddle Up: Boutte has seen regular use in the Patriots' offense over the last two seasons, with 114 combined targets in that span. Unfortunately, that doesn't make him fantasy relevant, and even less so with the additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Right now, Boutte is just a depth receiver for the Patriots unless he's moved to another team, so he's not a draftable asset right now for fantasy football.

New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has focused on improving his blocking and receiving during the offseason program.
Huddle Up: Although Henderson started slowly, he still finished his rookie season with more than 1,100 yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns while showcasing his big-play ability. The Patriots seem happy to have Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson share the workload, which will likely lead to some boom or bust production from Henderson.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte will be in attendance for the first day of mandatory minicamp Tuesday, June 9, despite recent trade rumors. He had not been present for the Patriots' voluntary offseason program last month.
Huddle Up: The 24-year-old Boutte had 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns last season. He has the potential to be a top-three receiver for most NFL clubs if he is traded and could be a late-round selection in most fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has shown interest in a trade this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Huddle Up: The Patriots have added A.J. Brown, so there is a chance that they trade Boutte at some point before the 2026 season. He is coming off a good 2025 season and can be a top-three receiver for most teams. He will probably be a late round pick in most fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte did not participate in the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 27.
Huddle Up: Boutte is coming off a productive 2025 season but will likely drop down the depth chart if the team acquires A.J. Brown this offseason. He will see a few targets per game if he stays with the Patriots but will not be a starting fantasy option most weeks.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is not at the team's facility for the offseason program, and he has been working out away from the team.
Huddle Up: Boutte has been a player who has had his name swirling in trade winds, as New England has long been rumored as a landing spot for A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles. His fantasy outlook is a little murky at the moment. If he says in Foxboro, he has Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins and Kyle Williams, as well as Efton Chism III, in the receivers room. If he lands elsewhere, he will have to learn a new system. At best, he is worth a look in the final rounds of fantasy drafts, as he does have upside.

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to increase his production in 2026, in the opinion of Matt Legros of Patriots Wire on Saturday, May 16.
Huddle Up: Stevenson was RB25 in fantasy football last season, and despite fumbling issues early in 2025, he remained involved in the team's running game despite the presence of rookie TreVeyon Henderson. Handling a career-low 133 carries last season, Stevenson could see a slight uptick in work in the upcoming season and should remain on the fantasy radar in 2026. Stevenson is one of the better contingent plays in case something happens to Henderson and will be a worthy mid-to-late round pick in drafts this summer.

Notre Dame TE Eli Raridon was selected by the New England Patriots with the 95th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Raridon might not make an immediate impact, but his huge frame gives him plenty of potential, especially as a weapon in the red zone. Raridon can probably be largely ignored as a rookie, but he could have a future as a touchdown-dependent TE2.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has been receiving trade interest this offseason, according to sources.
Huddle Up: The Patriots have been linked with A.J. Brown this offseason, so there is a chance that Boutte is moved at some point before the 2026 season. He was productive with the Patriots this past season and should have a role with a team in 2026. He can be a late round pick in some fantasy leagues.

New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte was not present for the start of the voluntary offseason program. Head coach Mike Vrabel said Boutte did inform the team that he would not be reporting.
Huddle Up: Boutte is coming off a solid 2025 season, but his role in the offense is uncertain for this upcoming season. He can be a late round pick in leagues but will not be a starting option most weeks.

New England Patriots WR Romeo Doubs will be helped by the routes that offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels plans to implement, according to executive vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf.
Huddle Up: McDaniels apparently identified Doubs as a player who could benefit from his scheme, and Doubs should be a steady option in the passing game. Doubs looks like a WR3 option heading into 2026.

Free-agent WR Romeo Doubs (Packers) officially signed with the New England Patriots Thursday, March 12. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Doubs should be one of the starting receivers for the Patriots right away and will likely be an important part of the team's passing game. He can be considered at least a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues next season.

Impending free-agent TE Julian Hill (Dolphins) and the New England Patriots have reportedly agreed to terms, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Wednesday, March 11.
Huddle Up: Hill has spent the previous three seasons with the Miami Dolphins, playing 45 games and bringing in 33 receptions. Used as a blocking tight end, Hill is likely to do the same for the New England Patriots in 2026. You can safely ignore Hill for fantasy purposes this season.

Impending free-agent WR Romeo Doubs (Packers) reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year, $70 million contract with the New England Patriots on Tuesday, March 10.
Huddle Up: Doubs will take over the role left by Stefon Diggs' departure. He could find himself being a viable WR3 or flex option if the Patriots' passing game maintains the level it had in 2025.

Impending free-agent RB Reggie Gilliam (Bills) reportedly agrees to a three-year deal with the New England Patriots, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The deal is worth up to $12 million with $6 million fully guaranteed.
Huddle Up: Gilliam has been the Bills' fullback for the last six seasons and now changes his uniform to another AFC East team, the New England Patriots. As a fullback, Gilliam has nearly zero fantasy value and can safely be ignored in the vast majority of fantasy football leagues for 2026.

Green Bay Packers impending free agent WR Romeo Doubs is expected to be a target of the Buffalo Bills in free agency, in the opinion of Tony Pauline of EssentiallySports.com on Thursday, March 5.
Huddle Up: Doubs put up a solid season in 2025, with 55 receptions, 724 yards and six touchdowns for the Packers. However, Doubs was at the mercy of an offense that spreads the ball around when they did pass. The Packers didn't prioritize the pass enough for gaudy individual numbers that pop for fantasy football. Doubs will seek a free agent market that's very robust, as he's sought after by quite a few NFL teams. With his value potentially on the rise if he lands in the right situation, Doubs could be a worthwhile low-end WR3 with more target-earning potential on an offense that passes more than the Packers have in recent seasons.

Green Bay Packers impending free-agent WR Romeo Doubs is a player the Packers are open to re-signing this offseason, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst.
Huddle Up: Doubs should receive interest from multiple teams if he hits the free-agent market, so fantasy players can monitor the situation over the next few weeks. He can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

New England Patriots WR Mack Hollins was awarded a $400,000 signing bonus in his contract. Hollins was four catches shy of a $400,000 incentive when his season was cut short due to a lacerated spleen.
Huddle Up: Hollins had a 46-550-2 season in 15 games. He'll be 33 in September and is not much more than a matchup play in fantasy to target as a WR5.

Green Bay Packers WR Romeo Doubs "is as good as gone" from the team in 2026, according to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman.
Huddle Up: Doubs is likely to be highly sought after in free agency and would sign elsewhere to be a WR2 at a minimum. He could become a sneaky flex play in the right landing spot.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) will not need offseason surgery to fix his injury. Maye told reporters, "Time is the best healer," on Tuesday, Feb. 10.
Huddle Up: Maye will come into next season as one of the best fantasy options at the quarterback position. He has a chance to be as high as QB3 overall, but is a bona fide starter for whoever has him on their roster.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) indicated that he received a pain-killing injection in his right shoulder prior to the team's Super Bowl LX loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Maye missed one practice and was limited in another leading up to the game, but he did not carry a designation on the final injury report.
Huddle Up: It's impossible to say if things would've played out any differently had Maye been fully healthy, but we'll see if the NFL has anything to say about Maye get a pain-killing shot when he wasn't listed on the final injury report before the biggest game of the season. Looking ahead, 2026 will be an interesting year for Maye, who broke out in Year 2 and finished second to Matthew Stafford in MVP voting before struggling in the postseason. While much was made of Maye's ascent, many have pointed out the dismal strength of schedule he faced. He'll be drafted as a QB1, befitting his skills as a dual-threat passer, but there's some potential for regression as he navigates a first-place schedule amid raised expectations.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Feb. 6, and is not on the injury report for Super Bowl LX.
Huddle Up: Maye was a full participant in all three practices this week and will be ready to play against the Seattle Seahawks. He will be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues this week.
