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. Despite a hot start that saw Henry rank as the fantasy TE2 through the first two weeks, he has quieted down dramatically and even left Week 5 with zero catches. Although the […]

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. While Vegas' secondary is suspect at best, Parker's age and role in the struggling New England offense have limited his production this season. Despite playing a whopping 98 percent of snaps […]

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. The Patriots' offense has been terrible lately, but perhaps clashes with the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints made New England look worse than it actually is. A matchup with the mediocre-at-best Raiders could give the Patriots […]

Ezekiel Elliott Has Low Floor In Week 6

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott is difficult to trust in fantasy football leagues ahead of Week 6 versus the Las Vegas Raiders. Elliott's only flash of fantasy relevance this season came against the Jets when he totaled 87 scrimmage yards. The Patriots' steady struggles on the offensive side of the ball make it […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Enters Pivotal Week 6

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is preparing for a Week 6 clash with the Las Vegas Raiders that will offer plenty of insight into his season-long value. The 24-year-old has struggled against the Jets, Cowboys, and Saints, but those are very difficult defenses. He has a chance to get things right on Sunday […]

Demario Douglas Trending In The Wrong Direction

New England Patriots rookie wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday. With JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) also having not practiced at this week, the Patriots receiving corps could be extremely thin against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. Both wideouts are running out of time to clear the […]

Through five weeks of NFL action, there are just five tight ends averaging at least 10 half-PPR PPG and three of them reside in the NFC North.

Tyquan Thornton Puts In A Limited Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Does Not Practice On Wednesday

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) missed practice on Wednesday.
