New England Patriots running back Damien Harris has become the lead back, but was unable to do much last week. He rushed six times for 19 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. It won't get any easier for Harris as he faces the San Francisco 49ers in Week 7. A team that has […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd outplayed his fellow receivers during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He hauled in three of his four targets for 38 yards in this one.

New England Patriots wide receiver N'Keal Harry was held without a catch during the Week 6 loss to the Denver Broncos. He was targeted twice and wasn't able to haul in anything here.
