Huddle Up: Maye was neck and neck with Matthew Stafford in the league MVP race last season, but Maye ended up as the runner-up. Passing for 31 touchdowns, 4,394 yards, and tacking on 450 rushing yards and four more scores on the ground, Maye was a true fantasy difference-maker last season as 2025's QB2. This season should be no different and the team also added A.J. Brown to give him a true top-level threat at wide receiver. Maye should be one of the first few quarterbacks off the board in every fantasy football draft leading up to Week 1.

Huddle Up: Henry had a 60-768-7 season last year and wound up the TE9 in PPR leagues. He'll be a low-end TE1 target again in 2026 in PPR formats with a modest reduction in non-PPR.

Huddle Up: It seems like Doubs was dealing with a minor issue and should be back at practice on a regular basis. He should be one of the starting receivers for the Patriots this season and will see a decent amount of targets during games. He can be considered a No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see when Doubs will be able to return to the field. He is expected to be one of the starting receivers for the Patriots this season and can be at least a No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Boutte has flashed the past two seasons, but he has never carved a consistent role with the Pats. Unless he can unseat Hollins or gets traded to a team that can give him more opportunities, his fantasy profile will remain nominal in standard formats. Still, at age 24, it's not outside the realm of possibility that Boutte could emerge. Keep an eye on him over the next month to see what role he's projected to fill.

Huddle Up: Considering he finished last season ranked fourth in passing yards and third in touchdown passes, Maye could challenge for the league lead in both categories if the Patriots play faster on offense. Throw in the upgrades at the receiver position, and Maye seems like one of the safest bets to finish as a QB1 in 2026.

Huddle Up: Boutte has been rumored to be on the block for a while, so fantasy players will need to continue to monitor the situation. He has posted solid numbers recently and can be at least a No. 3 receiver for most teams. He can be a late round pick in draft if he remains with the Patriots but could have more value if he joins another team.

Huddle Up: The additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs will push Boutte down the pecking order, but he could still be used to stretch the field. While he could have trouble producing consistent results in that role, Boutte should still deliver on occasional big game and have value in best-ball formats thanks to his big-play ability.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
