New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught four passes for 51 yards in the Patriots 43-0 win over the Dolphins.

Antonio Brown Immediately Makes Impact

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown caught four passes for 56 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 43-0 drubbing of the Dolphins. Brown was not on the field for the first offensive play but made his debut on the following play and immediately caught a pass down the middle for a first down. […]

Tom Brady's Left Tackle Injured Against Miami

New England Patriots left tackle Isaiah Wynn (foot) was injured in Week 2 against the Dolphins and is questionable to return. Right tackle Marcus Cannon is inactive on Sunday with an injury of his own, so injuries are already wreaking havoc on the team's offensive line early in the year. It remains to be seen […]

Damien Harris, Jakobi Meyers Inactive

New England Patriots rookie running back Damien Harris and rookie wide receiver Jakobi Meyers are both healthy scratches for Week 2 against the Dolphins. Both players have exciting long-term appeal for those in dynasty leagues, but the Patriots are just too stacked at running back and receiver now for either of them to make an […]

NFL Survivor Pool Picks (Week 2) - Targets and Avoids

Seattle squeaks by the Bengals and a third of all survivor pools breathe a sigh of relief. On to the next week where hopefully you don’t need to sweat one out again. My other survivor play was the Broncos and they barely showed up. Most love to overreact after Week 1. Such thoughts seem to […]

Stephen Gostkowski Will Be Elite Option In Week 2

New England Patriots kicker Stephen Gostkowski will have a prime matchup against a talent-challenged Dolphins team in Week 2. Gostkowski was a perfect 4-for-4 in Week 1 against the Steelers, including nailing all three of his extra points. Expect the veteran kicker to have another active game and should be a top scorer at his […]

Patriots Defense Gets Boost Against Rebuilding Dolphins

The New England Patriots Defense was fantastic in Week 1 and will have another chance to shine against a young and rebuilding Dolphins team this Sunday. The Patriots defense held the Steelers to only three points and the team's secondary did an excellent job locking down Pittsburgh's offensive weapons. Now they will go up against […]

Rex Burkhead Could Steal Touches In Week 2 Backfield

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead will try and replicate a productive Week 1 performance this Sunday against the Dolphins.

James White Has PPR Value Against Miami

New England Patriots running back James White will go up against a Dolphins Defense that allowed a combined 34.9 fantasy points to Ravens running backs in Week 1.

Sony Michel Ready To Bounce Back Against Dolphins

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will be looking to bounce back after totaling only 14 yards on 15 carries in the Patriots Week 1 win over the Steelers. Michel was out-shined in the game by a productive effort from Rex Burkhead but few doubt Michel is the most talented runner. The second-year running […]

Phillip Dorsett Has WR4 Appeal In Week 2

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett will try and build off his 95-yard, two-touchdown performance against the Steelers in Week 1. Dorsett's chemistry with quarterback Tom Brady is undeniable but the receiver's staying power is in question with All-Pro Antonio Brown now in the fold. Chances to utilize Dorsett in fantasy could be fleeting […]

Josh Gordon Has Boom-Or-Bust Potential

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon should play a major role in the team's passing game in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Gordon tallied 73 yards with one touchdown against the Steelers last week and now will face a Dolphins Defense that allowed the most fantasy points to receivers in Week 1. Gordon should […]

Julian Edelman Should Thrive Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman will have a prime matchup against the hapless Dolphins in Week 2. Edelman was all over the field against the Steelers to open the season and now will face a Dolphins Defense that allowed the most fantasy points to receivers in Week 1. Edelman caught nine passes for […]

Tough To Expect WR1 Numbers From Antonio Brown

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown is slated to make his Patriots debut in Week 2 against the Dolphins.

Brown has had minimal practice time with quarterback Tom Brady […]

Tom Brady Could Suffer If Pats Go Run-Heavy

NFL DFS Prop Picks for 9/15/19 - Monkey Knife Fight

James White Making Trip To Miami

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots running back James White is making the trip to Miami and is expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins.

Marcus Cannon Not Expected To Play

New England Patriots right tackle Marcus Cannon (shoulder) isn't expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins, according to a source. He's listed as questionable on the injury report. Korey Cunningham is the top backup, but he was inactive in the season opener as he gets familiar with the team's system. Losing Cannon would […]

Antonio Brown Expected To Play Against Dolphins

New England Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown is making the trip to Miami and is expected to play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. Head coach Bill Belichick hinted that Brown hasn't really mastered the playbook in his limited time with the team since signing last week, so it remains to be seen how many […]

Matt LaCosse Questionable For Week 2

New England Patriots tight end Matt LaCosse (ankle) is questionable for Week 2 against the Dolphins. LaCosse sat out of Week 1 and there's not guarantee that he'll be making his season debut this Sunday. If he's out again, Ryan Izzo will serve as the team's primary tight end. However, none of New England's tight […]

James White Could Miss Week 2

New England Patriots running back James White (personal) may not play in Week 2 against the Dolphins. The veteran back and his wife are currently expecting the arrival of their new child, putting his availability for Sunday in jeopardy as he may not travel with the team.
