New England Patriots is a fantasy football waiver wire pickup option for defenses. Target him as a free agent add off waivers for Week 5 of the 2021 NFL season.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 10+ Team Leagues
OWNED IN: 61% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Did you just see what the Bills did to the Texans? Yeah, the Patriots are a recommended defense to stream moving forward. I'm not sure if Tom Brady was trying to take it easy on his old organization, was hampered by the rain, or was simply confused by the Patriots defense, but the veteran looked bad in New England on Sunday night. Perhaps I need to give the Patriots more credit. Regardless, this is a team that had the 8th-best BOD (Best Overall Defense) ranking before facing the Bucs offense and is now going up against a rookie quarterback in Davis Mills who looked totally flustered on Sunday. I expect Bill Belichick to draw up plenty of pressure, forcing Mills into turnovers, much like the Bills did en route to four turnovers and only 109 total yards allowed. Yes, the Texans only put up 109 total yards last week. Until Tyrod Taylor gets back, this is the worst offense in football and we need to rank defenses accordingly.
