Mohamed Sanu (Ankle) Limited In Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Mohamed Sanu (ankle) was listed as limited in practice heading into the team's Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs.

Tom Brady Should Deliver Solid Line In Week 14

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will take on a Chiefs Defense that is allowing the 12th most fantasy points to opposing passers this season.

NFL Betting Expert Picks for Week 14 (12/8/19)

In Week 13, we came out even again. Baltimore and that first-half under in the Arizona game came through thanks to Arizona's lack of an offense.

In Week 13, several of the highest-scoring quarterbacks were guys who have been disappointing as of late.

The New England Patriots waived kicker Kai Forbath on Monday, according to sources. In a corresponding move, the Pats claimed defensive tackle Albert Huggins off waivers from the Eagles.

Patriots Defense Gets Humbled By Texans

The New England Patriots Defense recorded three sacks and zero turnovers in the team's 28-22 loss to the Texans in Week 13. The defense was put on their heels early after quarterback Tom Brady threw a costly interception that set up a short-field for the Texans. The Patriots defense was on pace for all-time numbers […]

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (concussion) returned to the field in Week 13, catching two passes for 15 yards in a loss to the Texans.

Jakobi Meyers Chips In 46 Yards In Week 14 Loss

New England Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers caught three passes for 46 yards in the Patriots 28-22 loss to the Texans in Week 13.

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught six passes for 106 yards and one touchdown in the Patriots 28-22 loss to the Texans.

Sony Michel Totals Only 45 Yards In Loss

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 10 times for 45 yards in the Patriots 28-22 loss to the Texans. New England trailed by multiple scores throughout the game which pretty much eliminated Michel from the offensive mix. The second-year running back's lack of catching ability severely hampers what he can bring […]

James White Explodes For Two Scores, 177 Total Yards

New England Patriots running back James White carried the ball 14 times for 79 yards and added eight catches for 98 yards with two touchdowns in Week 13. The Patriots offense stalled against the Texans in this tough loss but White delivered plenty of yards in the second half. This was the type of performance […]

Tom Brady Rallies To Post Quality Fantasy Line

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 24 of 47 passes for 326 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in the Patriots 28-22 loss to the Texans.

New England Patriots wide receivers Mohamed Sanu (ankle) and Phillip Dorsett (concussion) are both expected to play on Sunday night against the Texans, according to sources.
