Ryan Izzo Totals 31 Yards Against Giants

New England Patriots tight end Ryan Izzo caught two passes for 31 yards in the Patriots victory over the Giants on Thursday. Izzo now is averaging 37 receiving yards a game over his last three games and has emerged as the preferred tight end option in the Patriots offense. The rookie lacks tangible fantasy value […]

James White Tallies Nine Receptions In Week 6

New England Patriots running back James White caught nine passes for 46 yards in the Patriots 35-14 win over the Giants. White almost scored but his elbow hit the ground feet away from the football crossing the goal line. Otherwise it was an active effort from the veteran, who caught all nine of his targets. […]

Julian Edelman Dials Up 133 Receiving Yards

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman caught nine passes for 113 yards in the Patriots 35-14 win over the Giants in Week 6.

Sony Michel Posts 113 Total Yards In Win Over Giants

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 22 times for 86 yards and added two receptions for 27 yards in the team's 35-14 win over the Giants. It was the type of game tailored for Michel, and the second-year back only posted a modest fantasy score. His 3.9 yards per carry certainly […]

Tom Brady Rushes For Two Scores In TNF Victory

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady completed 31 of 41 passes for 334 yards, two rushing touchdowns and one interception in the Patriots Week 6 victory over the Giants.

Patriots Defense Scores Two Touchdowns In Win

The New England Patriots Defense recovered a fumble for a touchdown and returned a blocked punt for another score in the team's 35-14 win over the Giants.

Patriots Hoping Rob Gronkowski Returns

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft said on Thursday on NFL Network that he's still hoping that tight end Rob Gronkowski will unretire and rejoin the team this year.

Phillip Dorsett Hopes To Miss Just One Game

There's optimism that New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) will miss just Thursday night in Week 6, according to a source. It's a shame that Dorsett won't be able to take the field against the Giants terrible secondary, but at least it looks like he won't also miss Week 7. Dorsett has 15 […]

Rex Burkhead Not Expected To Play Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) is not expected to play on Thursday night against the Giants, according to a source. It would be Burkhead's second straight missed game.

FanDuel TNF DFS Lineup Picks: Daily Fantasy Football for Week 6

We have a very uneven matchup tonight between the healthy New England Patriots and the already terrible, also beat-up New York Football Giants.

New England Patriots wide receivers Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) and running back Rex Burkhead (foot) are all listed as questionable for Thursday night against the Giants. Burkhead practiced in full on Wednesday, while Edelman and Gordon were limited all week. Edelman and Gordon are expected to suit up and need to be […]

Phillip Dorsett Ruled Out For Thursday

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 6 on Thursday night against the Giants. Julian Edelman (chest) and Josh Gordon (knee) are also questionable, but they should both play in an excellent matchup against New York's soft secondary. With Dorsett out, rookie Jakobi […]

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers - Week 6

Whether due to their own play, the play of others, or injuries, players' stock increases and decreases on a weekly basis. Perhaps more than any other, the NFL is a league that experiences ups and downs at a rapid pace. With only 16 games, there’s little room for error and seemingly endless opportunities for improvement. […]

Patriots Defense Will Be Elite Week 6 Option

The New England Patriots Defense will have a strong matchup against rookie quarterback Daniel Jones and the Giants on TNF. The Giants have committed 11 turnovers this season and the Patriots already have eight interceptions this season. New England has not allowed an opponent to throw for more than 153 yards since Week 1 and […]

Rex Burkhead No Lock To Play Thursday

New England Patriots running back Rex Burkhead (foot) was limited again during Monday's practice. Burkhead has been battling the injury for a few weeks now and the Patriots playing on a short-week certainly doesn't help matters. The chances of Burkhead playing on Thursday against the Giants should be considered dicey at best. If he does […]

James White Has Lukewarm Value For TNF

New England Patriots running back James White will go up against a Giants Defense on Thursday night that has allowed the 17th fewest points to opposing running backs this season. But the Giants have allowed 142 combined receiving yards to running backs in the past two games and White has 14 receptions during that span. […]

Sony Michel Will Try And Keep It Rolling

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel will try and build off a strong Week 5 performance when the team takes on the Giants this Thursday. Michel has followed up a strong game with a dud thus far but certainly is coming off his best game of the season. He will go up against a […]

Ryan Izzo's Role Could Increase

New England Patriots tight end Ryan Izzo caught a touchdown in Week 5 and could be looking at an expanded role in the offense moving forward. The team just announced they have released veteran tight end Benjamin Watson and Izzo has 80 receiving yards combined with one touchdown over his last two games. The rookie […]

Josh Gordon Has Breakout Potential In Week 6

New England Patriots wide receiver Josh Gordon (knee) was limited at practice on Monday but it does not appear it will prevent him from playing against the Giants this Thursday. It has been a solid, yet unspectacular, start for the talented receiver but will have a fantastic matchup in Week 6. The Giants Defense is […]

Phillip Dorsett Not Practicing

New England Patriots wide receiver Phillip Dorsett (hamstring) did not participate in practice on Monday leading up to the teams battle against the Giants on Thursday. Dorsett left the Patriots Week 5 win and did not return, making his chances of him playing on a short-week seem slim at this point. Dorsett is off to […]

Julian Edelman Limited At Practice

New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman (chest) was limited at practice but is expected to play this Thursday against the Giants. Edelman has been dealing with a myriad of injuries since training camp but continues to suit up and play for the 5-0 Patriots. Edelman will have a prime matchup against a Giants Defense […]

Tom Brady Has Fantastic Matchup For TNF

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady will have a dynamite matchup against a leaky Giants secondary this Thursday. Brady has passed for 10 touchdowns and 1,409 yards this season but, at times, has struggled to move the football at an elite level. But the Patriots Defense has been so fantastic that the Patriots offense simply […]
