New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed nine times for 46 yards during Sunday's game against the New York Giants.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker caught three of five targets for 42 yards in Sunday's loss to the New York Giants. The 30-year-old finished with his largest target, reception, and yardage totals since Week 2. Despite the solid performance, it's hard to trust Parker going forward.

Mac Jones To Start Against Giants

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones will start in Week 12 against the New York Giants on Sunday, according to sources. However, backup Bailey Zappe is likely to be in the mix as well.
