Mike Gesicki Scores Game-Winning Touchdown Sunday

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki caught two passes for five yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. The veteran managed to find the end zone with just 12 seconds left, giving the Patriots an upset victory at home. For Gesicki, it was his first touchdown since signing with New […]

Ezekiel Elliott Returns To End Zone In Week 7

New England Patriots running back Ezekiel Elliott rushed 11 times for 31 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. He also failed to haul in his lone target. Elliott has now found the end zone in back-to-back games, suggesting that he might be the preferred goal-line option over Rhamondre Stevenson. Even […]

Rhamondre Stevenson Catches Six Passes In Week 7

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed nine times for 34 yards in Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. He also caught all six of his targets for an additional 51 yards through the air. It was an impressive showing for Stevenson as he delivered his best passing game production since Week 1. The […]

Demario Douglas Trending Up After Strong Week 7

New England Patriots wide receiver Demario Douglas caught four of six targets for 54 yards during Sunday's upset victory over the Buffalo Bills. He also added a 20-yard rush. It was the best showing of the undrafted rookie's young career and resulted in him finishing as the Patriots' second-most-productive receiver. It's a little too early […]

Mac Jones Impressive In Upset Victory Sunday

New England Patriots quarterback Mac Jones completed 25 of 30 passes (83.3 percent) for 272 yards, two touchdowns, and zero interceptions during Sunday's upset win over the Buffalo Bills. He also rushed for 11 yards and took one sack. All-in-all, it was a promising showing from Jones after a terrible three-game stretch in which he […]

Kendrick Bourne Emerging As Reliable Fantasy Option

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne turned seven targets into six catches for 63 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's win over the Buffalo Bills. Bourne operated as Mac Jones' favorite target once again and helped the Patriots' offense find some much-needed life in the upset victory. He should be viewed as a high-end […]

Bailey Zappe Active Over Malik Cunningham Sunday

New England Patriots quarterback Malik Cunningham (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 7 versus the Buffalo Bills. Bailey Zappe is active as the backup to Mac Jones. It's an interesting development after Cunningham was active versus the Raiders last week and played six snaps. This time around, though, it'll be Zappe as the No. 2, […]

JuJu Smith-Schuster Inactive Versus Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster (concussion) is officially inactive for Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity all week long. Ultimately, Smith-Schuster will miss his second consecutive game. Look for Kendrick Bourne to function as Mac Jones' top receiver while DeVante Parker, Demario Douglas, and Tyquan Thornton also get involved.

Hunter Henry, Demario Douglas Active For Week 7

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry (ankle) and wide receiver Demario Douglas (concussion) are officially active for Week 7 versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Both players had been listed as questionable, though the expectation heading into gameday was that they would both play. Henry has been active for all six games so far, catching 18 passes for […]

Bill Belichick Signed Multi-Year Extension Last Offseason

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick signed a "lucrative" multi-year extension with the team last offseason, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. While critics have been blaming Belichick for the Patriots' 1-5 start this year and suggesting he could be on the hot seat, news of his extension suggests the future Hall of Fame coach's […]
