Cam Newton Questionable For Thursday Night

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) remained limited in practice on Wednesday and is officially questionable for Thursday night against the Rams. Despite the questionable tag, Newton is fully expected to suit up against Los Angeles. He had two more rushing touchdowns in the blowout over the Chargers in Week 13, but Newton has […]

James White A Low-End PPR Option Versus Rams

New England Patriots running back James White has struggled to get much going on the ground this season. Luckily, he has been able to carry some fantasy value because of his ability to catch the ball in the backfield. He struggled in the victory over the Los Angeles Chargers last week. However, fantasy owners can […]

Sony Michel Avoidable In Week 14

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel is looking like an avoidable option against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 14. He returned last week and rushed 10 times for 35 yards in the win over the Los Angeles Chargers. It appears Damien Harris will remain the lead back, so Michel won't have a huge […]

Damien Harris Carries RB3 Value

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris continues to work as the lead back despite Sony Michel returning to the field. Harris has already put together three games of 100 rushing yards or more this season. It appears the Pats are going to continue feeding Harris the ball on a weekly basis. Sadly, he won't […]

Cam Newton A High-End QB2

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdominal) should be fine for the Week 14 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. He looked healthy last week as the Pats destroyed the Los Angeles Chargers. Newton was able to put up decent fantasy numbers despite only throwing for 69 passing yards. The fact he scored two rushing […]

Cam Newton, Nick Folk Limited Tuesday

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) and kicker Nick Folk (back) were both limited in practice on Tuesday. Newton was able to bounce back with another two rushing touchdowns in the blowout win over the Chargers in Week 13 to help out fantasy managers that streamed him. However, he hasn't topped 100 yards passing […]

Cam Newton Tagged As Limited Practice Participant Monday

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton (abdomen) was listed as a limited practice participant had there been an on-field practice Monday. Newton was originally questionable to play during Sunday's win over the Chargers, but was able to suit up, meaning that his placement back on the injury report is likely maintenance-related. The Patriots have just […]

Sony Michel (RB, NE) - Week 14 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues ROSTERED: 15% of Leagues ANALYSIS: Odds were Damien Harris would retain his RB1 role in the Patriots backfield with Sony Michel back this Sunday, and the latter sharing snaps and touches with James White on the ground. Turns out we were right in the first statement, but very […]

N'Keal Harry Snags TD In Win

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry had a fairly disappointing game against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. He finished with two receptions on three targets for 15 yards and one touchdown in the win. Harry was able to somewhat salvage his fantasy value with that score, but it wasn't a good day […]

Jakobi Meyers Held In Check By Chargers

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers was unable to do much damage against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. He hauled in two of his six targets for 15 yards in the win. It really wasn't all his fault in a game where quarterback Cam Newton had only 19 passing attempts. The Pats […]

Damiere Byrd Quiet In Week 13

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd was not able to get much going against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 13. He hauled in two of his three targets for 16 yards in the win. It really wasn't all his fault in a game where quarterback Cam Newton only had 19 passing attempts. Byrd […]

James White Posts Dud Versus Chargers

New England Patriots running back James White was a non-factor during the Week 13 victory over the Los Angeles Chargers. He did not see a single rushing attempt with Damien Harris and Sony Michel splitting up the carries in the backfield. White hauled in three of his four targets for one yard through the air. […]

Sony Michel Finally Returns In Week 13

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel (quad) was finally able to get back on the field for the Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. He had not taken a snap since Week 3 and looked a little rusty in this one. Michel rushed 10 times for 35 yards and caught his lone […]

Damien Harris Rushes For 80 Yards In Win

New England Patriots running back Damien Harris continued to be the lead back despite Sony Michel (quad) being active for this game. Harris rushed 16 times for 80 yards and caught one pass for 15 yards through the air. Clearly, the Pats are still going to get Harris involved even with Michel healthy. Luckily for […]

Cam Newton Finishes With Three Touchdowns

New England Patriots quarterback Cam Newton was able to find the end zone frequently during the Week 13 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. He completed 12 of 19 passing attempts for 69 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed 14 times for 48 yards and two touchdowns on the ground. Fantasy owners can be […]
