New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson has logged at least 20 carries in three of the last four games, and he has recorded 15 or more total touches in every game in that stretch.
Huddle Up: The Patriots have shown a little more punch on offense with Drake Maye under center, and Stevenson has been a beneficiary. He isn't going to provide a lot of explosive plays, but he has the workload to be a solid flex option.

New England Patriots WR Demario Douglas ended up with five receptions for 59 yards on seven targets in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Douglas has four or more receptions in three straight outings, making him worth a look as a WR4 or flex fantasy option in PPR leagues of 12 or more teams. He has lesser fantasy appeal in standard play heading into Week 12 in Miami.
Posted 11/18/2024 2:28 am GMT
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry ended up with six receptions for 63 yards on nine targets in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Henry rebounded nicely from an egg-laying last week in Chicago. He has five or more receptions in four of his past five games, although he hasn't scored since Week 6. He remains a borderline low-end TE1 or top-tier TE2 in PPR leagues, with TE2 appeal in most other fantasy formats. The Patriots travel to meet the Miami Dolphins in Week 12.

New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne ended up with five receptions for a team-high 70 yards and a touchdown on five targets in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Huddle Up: Bourne entered the game with eight receptions with 70 yards and 14 targets in his first five games, so we need to see more from Bourne before we give the green light to add him back in fantasy leagues again. The Patriots travel to meet the Miami Dolphins in Week 12.

New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 20 times for 73 yards in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, while he added four receptions for 16 yards on his four targets.
Huddle Up: If anything, Stevenson is consistent. He had 74 rushing yards on 20 rushing attempts in Week 10. He did have his first fumble since Week 4, but the team was able to recover. His fumbling issues earlier in the season were a reason he started to see fewer touches, so it's something to watch going forward.

New England Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 30-of-40 passes for 282 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in Week 11 against the Los Angeles Rams, and he ran three times for 27 yards with one lost fumble.
Huddle Up: Maye had his first multi-TD performance since the London game on Oct. 20 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has helped the Patriots look like an NFL caliber offense again, but he is nothing more than a low-end QB2 in most fantasy leagues. The Patriots travel to meet the Miami Dolphins in Week 12.

New England Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton was waived Saturday, Nov. 16. NFL.com's Tom Pelissero noted Thornton is healthy.
Huddle Up: The 2022 second-round pick has no fantasy value, but he could get a shot in a favorable environment and be developed further. This late in the season, however, any progress is likely more important for 2025.

New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.
Huddle Up: Henry has been a solid part of the passing game for the Patriots this week and has a good connection with Drake Maye. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/15/2024 12:09 am GMT
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) fully participated in practice Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: Henry has been targeted at least five times in four of the last five games and likely will receive a similar workload in Week 11. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues this week.
Posted 11/13/2024 9:58 pm GMT
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry (foot) was limited during practice Wednesday, Nov. 13.
Huddle Up: Henry is coming off a disappointing Week 10 performance but posted at least five receptions in each of the previous three games. He should continue to be a big part of the passing game this week and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/10/2024 10:50 pm GMT
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry caught one pass for 14 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. He was targeted four times during the game.
Huddle Up: Henry was not able to find a good connection with Drake Maye this week but should continue to see a big part of the passing game moving forward. He could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues.
Posted 11/10/2024 10:46 pm GMT
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte caught four passes for 47 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Boutte has been targeted six times in each of the last three games but has been held to under 50 yards in each of the last four games. He could see a similar workload next week but probably can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 11/10/2024 10:35 pm GMT
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught four passes for 50 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. He was targeted five times during the game.
Huddle Up: Douglas has been targeted at least five times in four of the last six games but has posted at least 50 yards in only one of his last four games. He should see a few targets next week but can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 11/10/2024 10:33 pm GMT
New England Patriots TE Austin Hooper caught three passes for 64 yards against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. He was targeted four times during the game.
Huddle Up: Hooper posted his season-high in receiving yards this week and has not posted more than 35 yards in any other game this week. He should not be a starting fantasy option in any leagues despite his Week 10 performance.
Posted 11/10/2024 10:18 pm GMT
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 74 yards on 20 carries against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. He also caught one pass for three yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Stevenson rushed for more than 50 yards for the first time in four games but has received 20 carries in two of the last three games. He will continue to be the main running back for the Patriots and can be at least a flex option most weeks.
Posted 11/10/2024 10:08 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye went 15-for-25 for 184 yards, one touchdown and one interception against the Chicago Bears in Week 10. He also rushed for 24 yards on four carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Maye has been held to one passing touchdown in each of the last two games but has had some success in the running game. He can be a possible starting option in two-quarterback leagues but can be avoided in standard leagues.
Posted 11/03/2024 10:40 pm GMT
New England Patriots WR DeMario Douglas caught seven passes for 35 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. He was targeted nine times during the game.
Huddle Up: Douglas has been targeted at least nine times in three of the last five games but has been held to 35 yards or less in each of the last three games. He likely will see a decent amount of target next week but probably can be avoided in most leagues.
Posted 11/03/2024 10:32 pm GMT
New England Patriots WR Kendrick Bourne caught four passes for 41 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. He was targeted six times during the game.
Huddle Up: Bourne entered the game with only 29 yards, so he more than doubled his season total with his Week 9 performance. He will have some fantasy value if he receives a consistent role in the passing game but probably is not a starting option at this point.
Posted 11/03/2024 10:29 pm GMT
New England Patriots TE Hunter Henry caught seven passes for 56 yards against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. He was targeted eight times during the game.
Huddle Up: Henry has been targeted at least five times in each of the last four games and has posted at least 50 yards in two of those games. He seems to be a popular target for Drake Maye and could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some leagues.
Posted 11/03/2024 10:25 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye went 29-for-41 for 206 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. He also rushed for 95 yards on eight carries during the game.
Huddle Up: Maye was able to return to the lineup after dealing with a concussion and had some success against the Titans. He will be facing a good Chicago Bears defense next week but can be a starting option in most two-quarterback leagues.
Posted 11/03/2024 10:25 pm GMT
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 16 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9. He also caught five passes for 38 yards and one touchdown during the game.
Huddle Up: Stevenson struggled in the running game this week but was still able to reach the end zone twice. He has regained the starting job and should see a good amount of touches each week. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/02/2024 6:07 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) was cleared from the concussion protocol on Saturday, Nov. 2, and is off the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: During his two full starts this season, Maye ranked as QB8 overall in terms of fantasy points per game. He's a QB2, at worst, entering Week 9.
Posted 11/02/2024 3:12 pm GMT
New England Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo hinted that WR Javon Baker could have a bigger role in the offense beginning with Week 9's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Huddle Up: Mayo said that Baker has been impressive at practice over the last few weeks but he has only been on the field for six offensive snaps this season. Combine that with the fact that no Patriots receiver not named DeMario Douglas has more than 15 receptions this year and fantasy owners would best be served keeping Baker on the bench until he proves that he can be a reliable pass-catching option.
Posted 10/31/2024 8:52 pm GMT
New England Patriots RB Antonio Gibson (toe) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: Gibson will see a limited amount of touches if he is able to play this week and should be avoided in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 10/31/2024 8:51 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) was limited during practice Thursday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: Maye still has a chance to play this week, so fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation over the next few days. He can be an option in two-quarterback leagues if he is cleared to play but can be avoided in standard leagues.
Posted 10/30/2024 9:33 pm GMT
New England Patriots RB Antonio Gibson (toe) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: Gibson has not been a big factor in the offense recently with only nine touches in the last two games. He probably will see limited touches if he is active for the game and can be avoided in fantasy leagues.
Posted 10/30/2024 9:30 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) was limited during practice Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: Maye needs to pass the concussion tests before he is cleared to play, so fantasy players should monitor the situation throughout the week. He can be an option in two-quarterback leagues if he is able to play.
Posted 10/30/2024 3:44 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) will be limited in practice Wednesday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: This gives him a chance to play in Week 9. Maye is the QB10 over the last three weeks and will be a plug-and-play candidate when healthy.
Posted 10/28/2024 7:49 pm GMT
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) is in the concussion protocol, head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters Monday, Oct. 28.
Huddle Up: Maye exited the Week 8 game with a concussion so managers will want to monitor this. He's been a solid QB2 and streaming option when healthy. Jacoby Brissett would start if Maye is inactive, but he's not a viable option for fantasy managers.
