Nelson Agholor Still Not Practicing

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor (concussion) remained out of practice on Wednesday after missing the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. Even if Agholor were to return for a Week 17 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, he wouldn't be a very attractive fantasy option behind receivers Jakobi Meyers and Kendrick Bourne. Agholor […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Removed From COVID-19 List

New England Patriots rookie running back Rhamondre Stevenson was removed from the Reserve/COVID-19 list and was back at practice on Wednesday. Stevenson missed the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills, and Damien Harris took advantage by posting his second straight 100-yard rushing day while adding three touchdowns on the ground. It remains to be […]

Patriots Place Brian Hoyer On COVID-19 List

The New England Patriots placed veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer on the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Tuesday. Hopefully rookie Mac Jones wasn't around Hoyer leading up to his positive test this week.

New England Patriots linebackers Matt Judon and Ja'Whaun Bentley were placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Monday, throwing their status for Sunday's game against Jacksonville into flux.

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry was unable to find much success at all during the Buffalo Bills in Week 16. Henry was coming off a six-catch game with 77 yards and two touchdowns. However, he followed that by hauling in one of his six targets for nine yards in the loss. It was […]

Kendrick Bourne Disappoints Versus Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne was cleared to play roughly 24 hours before kickoff on Sunday.

He hauled in two of his four […]

Jakobi Meyers Posts Another Six-Catch Game

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers seemed to be the only reliable pass-catcher for this offense on Sunday. Meyers hauled in six of his eight targets for 59 yards in the Week 16 loss to the Buffalo Bills. This marks the second week in a row that Meyers has hauled in six receptions in […]

Brandon Bolden A Bust In Week 16
