Patriots Defense Back On Radar With Favorable Matchup

The New England Patriots defense is an appealing streaming option for Week 9 against the Tennessee Titans.

Sweetening this matchup is […]

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas has been ineffective over the last two weeks, averaging just two catches and 13 yards while seeing a reduction in snaps.

Jalen Tolbert A Low-End FLEX Play Against Atlanta

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert has seen his production decline during the team's two-game losing streak (averaging 3.5 catches, 43.5 yards, zero touchdowns), but he has a solid opportunity to bounce back against a below-average Atlanta Falcons passing defense in Week 9.

Dak Prescott Enters Week 9 With Major Turnover Concerns

Tyler Boyd Doesn't Practice On Wednesday
