The New England Patriots placed rookie tight end Dalton Keene (knee) on Injured Reserve on Tuesday.

Cam Newton Sore After Big Hit Monday Night

Wide Receiver Waiver Wire Pickups - Week 10

Dez Bryant is back! But while the veteran receiver did return to an NFL roster this week, his complete lack of involvement means you won't find his name on this week's waiver wire pickup list. You will find some other names, though, if you're looking for non-Dez names! Not all options are the same. Some […]

Waiver Wire Express - Week 10 Lightning Round

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team PPR Leagues ROSTERED: 13% of Leagues ANALYSIS: On this very Tuesday I'm glad I'm able to proclaim Jakobi Meyers as the latest New England's real deal, folks. It's happening. Since the Patriots lost both Julian Edelman and N'Keal Harry to injury a few weeks ago, Meyers has eaten all […]

Damiere Byrd Targeted Nine Times In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd continues to get consistent targets in this offense, but has minimal fantasy value. He hauled in five of his nine targets for 65 yards in the Week 9 win over the New York Jets. The Pats are banged up with both of their two top receivers sidelined. Byrd […]

Jakobi Meyers Goes Off In Week 9

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was expected to have a significant role in the passing game with the Pats receivers banged up. He hauled in 12 of his 14 targets for 169 yards in the Week 9 win over the New York Jets. Meyers has seen 24 targets over the last two games […]

James White Continues To Slump In Week 9

New England Patriots running back James White came into this Week 9 matchup versus the New York Jets with zero rushing yards on the ground over the last two games. Somehow, that trend continued when White rushed two times for zero yards in the win. Luckily, he was able to haul in four of his […]

Rex Burkhead Finds The End Zone Versus Jets

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead was able to bounce back after three straight dud performances coming into Week 9.

Cam Newton Scores Two Rushing Touchdowns

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was able to somewhat rebound against the New York Jets in Week 9. He completed 27 of 35 passing attempts for 274 yards with zero touchdowns and zero interceptions. It wasn't a great statistical outing by Newton passing the ball, but he was able to salvage his fantasy value […]

Damien Harris Leaves Game After Hard Hit

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (chest) took a nasty hit to his chest on Monday night late in the fourth quarter and had to leave the game. With time running out in the game, it's highly unlikely that Harris will return to this contest, but he's listed as questionable. After the hit, Harris […]

Nick Folk Not 100 Percent For Monday’s Outing

New England Patriots kicker Nick Folk (back) is warming up (and active) ahead of Monday's game versus the Jets, but he may not be completely available as he deals with back pain. In his stead, the team has tasked punter Jake Bailey with kicking during warm-ups, seemingly as a backup plan should Folk not be […]

N'Keal Harry Ruled Out For Monday’s Contest

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry (concussion) has not been cleared to return for Monday's game against the Jets, marking his second consecutive contest on the sidelines.

Wide Receiver Matchups To Target in Week 9
