DeVante Parker Doesn't Return In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker (head) didn't return to Sunday's AFC East clash with the Miami Dolphins. The wideout had just one catch for 14 yards before suffering a controversial hit in the third quarter that ended his day. It certainly wasn't good timing, considering the Patriots also lost Kendrick Bourne (knee). Nonetheless, […]

Kendrick Bourne Set For An MRI On Monday

According to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport, New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) will get an MRI on Monday. The wideout injured his right knee during the Week 8 meeting with the Dolphins and didn't return. He's had a good 2023-24 campaign, so fantasy managers hope the ailment won't keep him out for the […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Relatively Quiet In Week 8 Loss

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed 10 times for 39 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also caught two of his four targets for an additional 11 yards through the air. After eight weeks, it has become clear that Stevenson's fantasy production is dependent on him finding the end zone […]

Demario Douglas Leads Team With Five Catches

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas hauled in five of seven targets for 25 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The rookie led the team in targets and catches, though his yardage ranked fourth on the squad. Douglas' big game coincided with a mid-game injury to Kendrick Bourne (knee) that could be […]

Hunter Henry Quiet In Week 8 Loss

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry caught all three of his targets for 28 yards during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. The 28-year-old's best game of the season came back in Week 2 versus Miami, but he was unable to replicate that big outing during Sunday's rematch. Henry has gone from being a […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Finds End Zone In Return

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster turned his lone target into a three-yard touchdown reception during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. After missing two games, Smith-Schuster returned to action in Week 8. Although he didn't have a big game, he did find the end zone for the first time as a Patriot. The […]

Mac Jones Throws For Two Touchdowns In Loss

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 19 of 29 passes for 161 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception during Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins. He also took three sacks and had negative two rushing yards. All in all, Jones had a relatively disappointing outing, especially since he seemingly dismantled a strong Buffalo defense […]

Kendrick Bourne Won't Return In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. He had caught three of four targets for 36 yards and one touchdown, salvaging his fantasy performance prior to his departure. New England could struggle to replace Bourne on offense and will now […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Active Over Tyquan Thornton

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) cleared protocol earlier this week and is officially active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. His return has prompted the team to make fellow wide receiver Tyquan Thornton (coach's decision) inactive. While neither player is on the redraft radar, it's still news worth mentioning given the […]
