James Develin Placed On Injured Reserve
5 years agoNew England Patriots fullback James Develin (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve on Monday. While Develin wasn't at all fantasy relevant, his loss is notable for the Patriots ground game, most notably Sony Michel. Michel had another underwhelming performance in the easy Week 3 win over the Jets, rushing nine times for only 11 yards (1.2 yards per carry) and a touchdown. In three games this season, the second-year back is averaging a weak 2.4 yards per carry. The loss of Develin won't make it any easier for Michel to improve on the ground.
