N'Keal Harry Posts Dud In Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry was not able to do much damage versus the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. He hauled in one of his two targets for 12 yards in the loss.

Damiere Byrd Remains Quiet

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has not been much of a fantasy option over the last few weeks. His streak of bad luck continued versus the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. He hauled in three of his four targets for 24 yards in the loss. Byrd has now been held to 48 yards […]

Jakobi Meyers Racks Up Team-High 111 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers found himself in a familiar position during Sunday's loss to Miami: racking up receiving yards (111) without a touchdown to show for it.

Stephon Gilmore Appears To Have Avoided Serious Injury

There is optimism that New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore (leg) is not as injured as it first appeared during Sunday's game versus Miami when he needed to be helped off the field.

Stephon Gilmore Heading To Locker Room

James White Active for Week 15

New England Patriots running back James White (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins.
