Jonathan Jones Set For Season-Ending Surgery

New England Patriots cornerback Jonathan Jones (shoulder) is scheduled for season-ending shoulder surgery on Monday, according to a source.

The 28-year-old will finish 2021 with 20 tackles […]

Nelson Agholor Catches TD Against Jets

Jonnu Smith Goes Over 50 Yards In Win

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) was unable to get through the entire game during the Week 7 battle with the New York Jets. He hauled in two of his five targets for 52 yards before exiting due to a shoulder issue. He didn't return to the game and his status should be […]

Kendrick Bourne Catches All His Targets In Week 7

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne made the most of his chances against the New York Jets in Week 7. He hauled in all four of his targets for 68 yards in the win. Bourne also added a 25-yard passing touchdown on a trick play against the horrendous Jets defense. Bourne normally catches all […]

Brandon Bolden Posts Solid Receiving Game

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden has been filling in nicely over the last few weeks. He put together a solid game for the Pats during the Week 7 matchup against the New York Jets. Bolden hauled in six of his seven targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the win. It appears […]

J.J. Taylor Scores Twice In Win Over Jets

New England Patriots running back J.J. Taylor found the end zone twice against the New York Jets in Week 7.

Taylor was […]

Damien Harris Runs All Over Jets

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris had seemingly no issues against the New York Jets in Week 7. He rushed 14 times for 106 yards and two touchdowns in the blowout win.

Jonnu Smith Questionable To Return In Week 7

New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Smith has two catches for 52 yards in the game, plus a five-yard carry. If he's unable to return, Hunter Henry would see an expanded role. Henry has been fairly inconsistent this season due to […]

Brandon Bolden, Nick Folk Active

New England Patriots running back Brandon Bolden (thigh) and kicker Nick Folk (knee) are both active for Sunday's contest against the Jets. With Rhamondre Stevenson being a healthy scratch, Bolden should have some role on Sunday, but not enough for fantasy managers to use him in any lineups. Folk has been a solid kicker this […]

Rhamondre Stevenson A Healthy Scratch For Week 7

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is a healthy scratch again in Week 7, returning to the inactive list after playing for the past two weeks.

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 7

The wide receiver matchup article from last week was a little underwhelming as most of the recommendations underperformed in great spots. On a positive note, Tyreek Hill (WR-12), Brandin Cooks (WR-19) and Ja'Marr Chase (WR-25) each had decent performances. On the downside, D.J. Moore (WR-38) had a whopping 13 targets but only snagged five of them for 73 yards […]

It might be Week 7, but that does not mean it is going to be a lucky week for fantasy footballers on the waiver wire. A half-dozen teams are on bye this week, which means 20 percent of the waiver wire crop cannot be picked since their teams will not be on the field. The […]
