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 Stefon Diggs (Patriots) is a player the New England Patriots are open to re-signing this offseason, according to executive vice president Eliot Wolf.
Huddle Up: It seems unlikely that Diggs will return after the Romeo Doubs signing, but fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation. Diggs should have a solid role wherever he plays in 2026 and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

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.

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs could be a cut candidate if he and the team cannot agree to a contract restructure, according to The Athletic's Chad Graff.
Huddle Up: Diggs has been around the league in recent years but is coming off one of the more productive seasons in recent memory. Diggs may not be a team's WR1, which affects his fantasy value, but whether he stays in New England or elsewhere he can be a flex play in 2026.

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 WR Stefon Diggs pleaded not guilty Friday, Feb. 13, to felony strangulation and other criminal charges stemming from an alleged dispute with his personal chef.
Huddle Up: Diggs had a comeback season with a 85-1,013-4 line that ranked him the WR16 in PPR leagues. He turns 33 in November and will be a WR3 in drafts with some regression potential. This situation could ultimately cost him some games as well.

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 WR Stefon Diggs said he expects to return to the team next season, but the team will have control of his future with the organization.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can monitor the situation because the Patriots can save $16.8 million in salary cap space if they let Diggs go this offseason. He finished the regular season with 1,013 yards and had a solid connection with Drake Maye. He can be a No. 3 receiver in fantasy leagues if he remains with the Patriots.

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 RB TreVeyon Henderson became the second player in NFL history to have two games with multiple 50-yard rushing touchdowns in his career, joining retired RB Chris Johnson.
Huddle Up: Henderson was eased into the offense, but the rookie's big-play ability was evident as soon as his role expanded. He finished the year with 1,132 yards from scrimmage and 10 total touchdowns while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. His consistency will be an issue as long as he is sharing the backfield with Rhamondre Stevenson, but Henderson could deliver RB1 numbers on any given week.
