Patriots Defense Tough To Trust In Week 6

The New England Patriots defense is not a very trustworthy option for fantasy football in Week 6.

Hunter Henry Drops To TE2 Tier For Week 6

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry is difficult to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.

DeVante Parker Lacks Upside In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker lacks big-play upside and should be avoided in fantasy football as he faces the Las Vegas Raiders.

Kendrick Bourne Only Has Appeal In Deep Leagues

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has low-end fantasy appeal heading into Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders.
