BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED IN: 55% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Hunter Henry was able to fend off Jonnu Smith from ruining his fantasy value in 2021 and 2022 when both signed multimillion-dollar contracts with the Patriots, and now he is doing the same with new tight end teammate Mike Gesicki. Henry has […]

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. He played 59 percent of snaps, splitting opportunities with Kendrick Bourne while DeVante Parker (100 percent) and Hunter Henry (92 percent) dominated the receiving attack. 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. The veteran led the Patriots in catches and receiving yards while finishing second in targets (behind Kendrick Bourne's nine). Sunday marked Parker's season debut after he missed Week 1 […]

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. He added 25 rushing yards but was also sacked five times. Jones looked solid for most of the game, especially in the fourth quarter when he led two touchdown […]

DeVante Parker Returns On Sunday Night

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (knee) is active against the Dolphins on Sunday night. The wideout didn't suit up in Week 1, allowing Kendrick Bourne to amass six catches for 64 yards and two touchdowns. With Parker back in the equation, Bourne's ceiling will drop. However, each man can be viewed as a […]
