Hunter Henry Snaps Touchdown Streak

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry came into a Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers with a four-game touchdown streak. Sadly, Henry was unable to keep that streak alive against the Chargers on Sunday. He caught one of his three targets for 33 yards in the win. It wasn't a very successful […]

Jakobi Meyers Posts Another Sluggish Game

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers appeared to be the most reliable receiver for this offense, but has been quiet over the last few games. In Week 8, Meyers hauled in four of nine targets for 37 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. To be fair, it wasn't a very successful […]

Kendrick Bourne Targeted Seven Times In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has quietly put together a decent season through the first eight games of the year. In Week 8, Bourne hauled in four of his seven targets for 38 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Those seven targets were the most Bourne has seen since Week […]

Nelson Agholor Posts 60 Yards In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor has struggled to find much success through the first seven weeks of the season. However, he was able to do some damage during the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Agholor hauled in three of his six targets for 60 yards in the win. Those 60 […]

Brandon Bolden Makes Minimal Impact In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden hauled in six receptions last week, but was unable to have the same success in Week 8. Bolden rushed four times for 26 yards during the win over the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Those four attempts on the ground were actually a season-high for Bolden. Sadly, he […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Gets Eight Attempts

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson got back into the gameplan against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 8. The rookie running back saw eight carries for 25 yards and hauled in one pass for five yards in the win. He was a healthy scratch last week and wasn't able to prove his worth […]

Damien Harris Gets 23 Carries Against Chargers

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris, as expected, saw a heavy workload during the Week 8 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Harris rushed 23 times for 80 yards and one touchdown in the win. Those 23 carries tied a season-high for Harris, who hasn't seen that significant of a workload since the season […]

Mac Jones Has Lackluster Week 8 Outing

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones threw for over 300 yards for the first time in his career coming into this Week 8 matchup. Sadly, the rookie quarterback did not have the same success against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Jones completed 18-of-35 passing attempts for 218 yards and didn't throw a touchdown or […]

Kendrick Bourne, Nick Folk Active Against Chargers

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (shoulder) and kicker Nick Folk (knee) are both active for the Week 8 game against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Bourne is averaging a very modest four targets and 50 receiving yards per game through the first seven weeks of the season. Last week in the blowout […]

Jonnu Smith Active On Sunday

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is officially active for Week 8 against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith has been a low-upside TE2 for fantasy managers so far this season while sharing time with Hunter Henry, who has been the more productive pass-catching tight end in New England. Smith has only 18 catches […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Active, J.J. Taylor Inactive

The New England Patriots continue to play musical chairs with the team's running backs, as Rhamondre Stevenson is active for Week 8 while J.J. Taylor is a healthy scratch despite scoring a pair of touchdowns last week. It appears that New England is just going to continue to decide on game day who out of […]
