New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (ankle) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

Chad Ryland Belongs On Waivers In Week 8

New England Patriots kicker Chad Ryland should be avoided in all fantasy leagues ahead of Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. The rookie has been uninspiring this year due to underwhelming talent and the Patriots' limited success on offense. Just 8-for-12 on field goals through seven games, Ryland belongs on waivers.

Patriots Defense Faces Tough Week 8 Matchup

The New England Patriots' defense lacks fantasy appeal heading into Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. While New England found some success in its win over the Buffalo Bills last Sunday, the explosive Miami offense is a whole different beast. The Dolphins can beat team through the air with an elite connection between Tua Tagovailoa […]

Demario Douglas Could Have Key Role Versus Miami

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas should continue to play a significant role in the team's offensive approach on Sunday versus the Miami Dolphins. The rookie had his best game yet in Week 7, posting season-highs in catches (four), yards (54), and snap share (62 percent). He seemed to be the preferred option over […]

Kendrick Bourne Approaching WR2 Territory In Week 8

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne is quickly ascending as a valuable option in fantasy football, and he could reach the WR2 tier in a juicy Week 8 matchup against the Miami Dolphins. The 28-year-old has 16 catches, 152 yards, and one touchdown over the last two weeks, ranking as the WR8 overall during […]

Ezekiel Elliott Avoidable Again In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott should be avoided in most fantasy leagues ahead of Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. The veteran has delivered solid production in his last two games, but that's purely due to him finding the end zone twice. Putting your fantasy success in the hands of an aging, touchdown-dependent […]

Rhamondre Stevenson A Fringe RB2 In Week 8

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson ranks as a fringe top-24 option at his position heading into Sunday's clash with the Miami Dolphins. While Stevenson is coming off two strong weeks against the Raiders and Bills, he benefitted in those games from an approach that featured both the rushing and passing attacks. It's fair […]

Mac Jones Has Streaming Appeal Versus Miami

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones is a streaming option with intrigue heading into Week 8 versus the Miami Dolphins. After a very rough three-game stretch, Jones bounced back last week against the Bills, completing 83 percent of his passes for 272 yards and two touchdowns while leading his team to an upset victory. New […]

Hunter Henry Limited On Thursday

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice. This doesn't come as a surprise given the fact Henry has been dealing with a lingering ankle issue. Possibly, the Patriots are just limiting his reps to be cautious. Otherwise, Mike Gesicki could be looking at increased reps if Henry […]
