Week 6 Waiver Wire Pickups & Adds
Unfortunately, the injury bug has come back to bite some big-name running backs. If you managed to add Alexander Mattison a couple weeks ago or Damien Williams last week and roll with them in your lineup, you were a happy GM in Week 5.

Kendrick Bourne Hauls In All Three Targets
New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne came into this Week 5 matchup playing fairly well during his last two games. However, he wasn't able to make much noise during the win over the Houston Texans. Bourne hauled in all three of his targets for 26 yards. It was a disappointing outing for Bourne who […]
Jonnu Smith Posts Dud In Win
New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith had four total receptions over his last two games coming into the Week 5 matchup against the Houston Texans. Smith didn't pick up his play here and continued struggling. He hauled in both of his targets for 27 yards in the win. To be fair, there's not much […]
Nelson Agholor Continues Sluggish Play
New England Patriots wide receiver Nelson Agholor hasn't scored a touchdown since Week 1. In fact, Agholor has not hauled in more than three receptions in a single game since the season opener. In Week 5, Agholor caught three of his four targets for 32 yards in the win over the Houston Texans. It shouldn't […]
Jakobi Meyers Hauls In Four Receptions
New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers has been the most reliable option in this offensive unit this season. In Week 5, Meyers hauled in four of his five targets for 56 yards in the win over the Houston Texans. He remains the Patriots most-targeted wideout and that should stay that way going forward. Meyers […]
Hunter Henry Breaks Out Against Texans
New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been fairly disappointing heading into the Week 5 matchup with the Houston Texans. However, Henry finally had a breakout performance and showed why the Patriots signed him over the offseason. He hauled in six of eight targets for 75 yards and one touchdown. Henry has been able […]
Rhamondre Stevenson Struggles In Week 5
New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson saw his first action on the field since Week 1. Lead back Damien Harris (chest) was forced out of action, which gave Stevenson a chance to make some noise. Sadly, Stevenson didn't do much with 23 yards on 11 attempts in the win over the Houston Texans. It's […]
Damien Harris Scores In Win Over Houston
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (chest) left on two separate occasions during the Week 5 win over the Houston Texans. He returned to the field, but his absence and a fumble hurt his fantasy value. Harris finished with 14 carries for 58 yards and one touchdown. It has been three straight duds for […]
Mac Jones Helps Guide Win Over Texans
New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones posted his third straight game of 230 passing yards or more. Jones completed 23-of-30 passing attempts for 231 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Week 5 win over the Houston Texans. Most of the Patriots damage on offense was done on quick slant routes. Jones has […]
Damien Harris Questionable To Return in Week 5
New England Patriots running back Damien Harris (chest) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Houston Texans. Harris has 10 carries for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's game. If Harris is unable to return, Rhamondre Stevenson appears to be the next man up. A preseason sleeper whose rookie year was derailed […]
