Hunter Henry Remains A Top Option In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has entered must-start territory heading into Sunday's game against the New York Jets. The veteran has been a top pass-catcher in the Patriots offense thus far, catching 11 passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns. While some touchdown regression is inevitable, there's no denying that Henry has blossomed […]

Patriots Defense A Must-Start In Week 3

The New England Patriots defense should be started in all fantasy leagues versus the New York Jets this week. While New England has endured a relatively slow start on both sides of the ball, their defense's lack of excitement can be blamed on two incredibly tough matchups against the Eagles and Dolphins. The Zach Wilson-led […]

Chad Ryland Not A Top Option For Week 3

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 3 versus the New York Jets. While the rookie has converted all five of his kicks (including one field goal) this season, he's averaging just 3.5 points per game. Your fantasy football lineup would look better with a higher-upside kicker, one who has […]

Mike Gesicki Can't Be Trusted In Week 3

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki isn't a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's clash with the New York Jets. While Gesicki impressed with five catches and 33 yards in Week 2, he remains the clear No. 2 option behind Hunter Henry. As a result, Gesicki's production is still volatile going forward, and it […]

Kendrick Bourne Tough To Trust In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne isn't a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's game against the Jets. Last week's return of DeVante Parker (knee) dropped Bourne's snap share to just 51 percent, so while he did still total nine targets and four receptions, it's unclear just how much playing time he'll get going […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Belongs On Bench In Week 3

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster should be benched (or left on waivers) in most fantasy leagues ahead of Sunday's game versus the New York Jets. Smith-Schuster has been the definition of mediocre so far, totaling 13 targets, six catches, and 61 yards through his first two games with the Patriots. He continues to […]

Ezekiel Elliott Remains Off Fantasy Radar For Week 3

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott can be left on your bench or waivers in most fantasy leagues this week. As the Patriots gear up for a clash with the New York Jets, Rhamondre Stevenson continues to have a firm hold on the No. 1 running back role. Elliott, on the other hand, has […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Headed For Busy Week 3

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson should be a central part of the team's offensive attack against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. Stevenson is already off to a great start this season, totaling 149 scrimmage yards and one touchdown, and should see plenty of volume as the Patriots face a stout Jets […]

Mac Jones Faces Tough Matchup In Week 3

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will have his work cut out for him against the New York Jets on Sunday afternoon. While these two teams are evenly matched, New York has a relentless defense featuring the likes of Sauce Gardner, Quinnen Williams, and others. The Patriots may choose to establish the running game early, […]

Is Chuba Hubbard A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

As the Carolina Panthers continue to figure out their identity on offense, a few underrated contributors have emerged. One offensive playmaker on the rise is running back Chuba Hubbard. The 24-year-old split time with D'Onta Foreman after last year's Christian McCaffrey trade but returned to the backup role in 2023 following the signing of Miles […]

Is Roschon Johnson A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

Chicago Bears rookie running back Roschon Johnson has slowly seen his value and ranking rise through the first two weeks of the fantasy football season.

Should I Drop Jerrick McKinnon? Fantasy Football Outlook

The Kansas City Chiefs suffered a narrow loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 1 but were able to bounce back last Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Chiefs have struggled to get dependable production from their playmakers, including running back Jerick McKinnon. Is Jerick McKinnon worth starting in fantasy football? Can I drop Jerick […]

Is Darnell Mooney Injured or Healthy? Fantasy Football Injury Update

The first two weeks of the 2023 season have not been very enjoyable for Chicago Bears fans, and their outlook only gets bleaker as they travel to Kansas City for a clash with the Chiefs in Week 3.

Is Gus Edwards A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

The Baltimore Ravens were dealt a devastating blow in Week 1 when oft-injured running back J.K. Dobbins tore his Achilles' tendon. There was speculation that Gus Edwards would operate as the Ravens' new No. 1 option out of the backfield, but Justice Hill earned the start and saw more touches than Edwards in Week 2. […]

Is Hunter Henry A Good Fantasy Football Pickup for Week 3? Waiver Wire Outlook

The New England Patriots entered the 2023 season with a plethora of questions on offense, including significant uncertainty surrounding the tight end position. Through two weeks, both Hunter Henry and Mike Gesicki have played key roles in the offense, but the former has been Mac Jones' preferred option in the passing game. Is this a […]

Chad Ryland Hits First Career Field Goal

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland made both of his extra point attempts and also converted the first field goal of his career during a Week 2 loss versus the Miami Dolphins. Ryland's field goal came from 49 yards out and gave New England its first points of the contest. He is now 5-for-5 on […]

Patriots Defense Forces Turnover On Rookie’s First Career Interception

The New England Patriots' defense allowed 24 points during a Week 2 loss at the hands of the Miami Dolphins. The Patriots, much like the Chargers in Week 1, had trouble slowing down the Dolphins' red-hot offense. However, to their credit, the unit held Tyreek Hill to 40 yards and rookie Christian Gonzalez notched his […]

Mike Gesicki Gets Involved Versus Former Team

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki turned six targets into five receptions for 33 yards against his former team, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 2. Gesicki operated behind Hunter Henry but still delivered solid production on an equally promising 72 percent snap share. Henry is the only Patriots tight end who can be firmly […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Totals Just 28 Yards In Week 2

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster hauled in five of six targets for just 28 yards against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday night.

Post-Week 1 rumors exposed the Patriots' […]

Kendrick Bourne Commands Nine Targets Sunday

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was targeted nine times during Week 2 versus the Miami Dolphins. He ultimately finished the game with just four catches for 29 yards. There's a lot of information to discuss with Bourne, who is the Patriots' most-targeted receiver (20) through two games but played just 51 percent of […]

DeVante Parker Catches Six Passes Against Former Team

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker turned eight targets into six catches for 57 yards against his old team, the Miami Dolphins, in Week 2.

Hunter Henry Shines For Second Consecutive Week

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry delivered huge production in Week 2, catching six passes for 52 yards and one touchdown. The 28-year-old was arguably the Patriots' most impressive playmaker during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. Henry now has 11 catches for 108 yards and two touchdowns this season, ranking as the overall […]

Ezekiel Elliott An Afterthought Sunday

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed just five times for 13 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 2. Elliott garnered a whopping seven targets last week but earned no receiving opportunities on Sunday. The veteran did have a costly fumble in Week 1 which could have put him in Bill Belichick's doghouse […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Salvages Week 2 Performance With Touchdown

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson logged 15 carries for 50 yards and a touchdown against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday evening. He also caught three passes for an additional 10 receiving yards, which is relatively underwhelming considering he had six catches for 64 yards in Week 1. Nevertheless, Stevenson rewarded fantasy managers by […]

Mac Jones Sacked Five Times In Week 2 Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 31 of 42 passes for 231 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday evening.
