Kyle Williams Kyle Williams Logs 14 snaps on offense Sunday
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 10:02 AM
Williams recorded 14 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie wideout didn't record a catch despite being targeted twice. Through six games, Williams has caught just two passes on four targets for 20 yards, and while his role could grow as the season progresses, for now he remains behind Stefon Diggs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins and DeMario Douglas in the Patriots' WR pecking order. |

Austin Hooper Austin Hooper One catch versus New Orleans
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 9:57 AM
Hooper, who logged 41 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target for five yards.
Analysis: With just two catches on as many targets for 29 yards over his last three games, Hooper is off the fantasy radar as long as fellow TE Hunter Henry remains in the Patriots' lineup. |

Hunter Henry Hunter Henry Three catches in Week 6
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 9:52 AM
Henry was on the field for 53 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, en route to catching all three of his targets for 27 yards.
Analysis: Through six games, Henry has maintained steady playing time while recording a 20-277-3 receiving line on 31 targets. Though his volume has tapered off over his last three outings, the tight end remains a viable red-zone option for QB Drake Maye and a candidate to see increased targets on any given week, when game script and/or game flow dictate. |

Efton Chism Efton Chism Contributes as returner
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 9:38 AM
Chism was on the field for two of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Sunday's contest represented the regular-season debut for Chism, who made his mark while logging 12 special teams snaps and returned five kickoffs for 129 yards. The rookie wideout could keep the primary kickoff returner role with Antonio Gibson out for the season due to a torn ACL. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Two catches Sunday
Mon, Oct 13, 2025, 9:26 AM
Hollins, who logged 35 of 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught two of three targets for 28 yards.
Analysis: Through the Patriots' first six contests, Hollins has turned in a 9-70-2 receiving line on 12 targets. As this coming Sunday's game against the Titans approaches, Hollins is only a fantasy consideration in deep formats. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Shines with two TDs in Sunday's win
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 7:31 PM
Boutte caught all five of his targets for 93 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.
Analysis: While his target volume was modest, it was Boutte's biggest share since Week 1, and he led the Patriots in receptions and receiving yards Sunday while hauling in scores of 25 and 29 yards from Drake Maye in the first half. Boutte will take an 18-301-3 line on 23 targets this season into a Week 7 clash with the Titans, and with Maye seemingly headed for a breakout campaign, the third-year wideout's fantasy value may be on the upswing. |

DeMario Douglas DeMario Douglas Hauls in long TD in Week 6 win
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 7:27 PM
Douglas caught three of four targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.
Analysis: The third-year wideout nearly had a much bigger performance, but Douglas had a 61-yard TD in the first quarter erased by a very questionable offensive pass interference call away from the play on Stefon Diggs. The call didn't cost the Patriots any points, however, as Drake Maye capped that drive with a 25-yard score to Kayshon Boutte instead. Douglas had just 30 receiving yards on the season coming into Sunday, but two of his 10 receptions have resulted in touchdowns. Douglas remains behind Diggs and Boutte in the pecking order for targets, but he'll carry some momentum into a Week 7 tilt against the Titans. |

Stefon Diggs Stefon Diggs Just three grabs Sunday
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 7:20 PM
Diggs caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.
Analysis: The veteran wideout wasn't able to follow up on his revenge game against the Bills last week, as Drake Maye instead looked for Kayshon Boutte (5-93-2 on five targets) and DeMario Douglas (3-71-1 on four targets) with his downfield throws Sunday. Diggs has a respectable 32 catches for 387 yards on 37 targets through six games, but he's still looking for his first TD of 2025. Diggs will try to hit paydirt in Week 7 against the Titans. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Finds little running room in Week 6
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 7:12 PM
Henderson carried the ball nine times for 27 yards and caught one of two targets for nine yards in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints.
Analysis: The results were meager, but Henderson still out-gained Rhamondre Stevenson by 18 scrimmage yards, although he finished one rushing yard behind quarterback Drake Maye for the team lead. Henderson has yet to reach even 40 rushing yards or 60 scrimmage yards in a game this season, and the rookie will likely remain stuck in a timeshare with Stevenson heading into a Week 7 clash with the Titans. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Stuffed by Saints in Week 6
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 7:09 PM
Stevenson carried the ball 13 times for 18 yards in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints. He failed to catch his only target.
Analysis: The fifth-year RB avoided committing another fumble, but that was about the only silver lining to his performance. Stevenson has failed to reach 40 rushing yards in four straight games, producing a woeful 2.7 YPC over that stretch, and only a couple Week 5 rushing TDs have salvaged any real fantasy value for him during that span. TreVeyon Henderson hasn't had much more success, so the duo will likely continue to work in a timeshare in Week 7 against the Titans. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Tosses three TDs in win
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 7:05 PM
Maye completed 18 of 26 passes for 261 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 25-19 win over the Saints. He added a team-high 28 rushing yards on nine carries and also ran in a two-point conversion.
Analysis: The second-year QB was sharp right from the coin toss, hitting DeMario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte for long TDs in the first quarter before adding another 29-yard score to Boutte just before halftime right after New Orleans had taken a 16-14 lead. Maye has tossed multiple touchdowns in four of the last five games, posting an impressive 9:1 TD:INT over that stretch and leading New England to three straight wins. He'll look to keep rolling in Week 7 against the Titans. |

Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Emergency QB vs. New Orleans
Sun, Oct 12, 2025, 10:38 AM
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints but will serve as the emergency third quarterback.
Analysis: DeVito will remain as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback, meaning he will only see the field in New Orleans if Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs were to depart due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Elevated for Week 6
Sat, Oct 11, 2025, 6:54 PM
The Patriots elevated Jennings from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: It's Jennings first elevation from the practice of the season, and he's slated to serve as the Patriots' RB3 behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson during Sunday's game against the Saints. Jennings logged 13 carries for 33 yards across three regular-season games with New England in 2024. |

Antonio Gibson Antonio Gibson Officially moved to IR
Fri, Oct 10, 2025, 3:28 PM
Gibson (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday.
Analysis: This move was expected after Gibson was diagnosed with a torn ACL following New England's Week 5 win over the Bills. He'll finish the campaign with 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown, as well as two catches for six yards on three targets. Terrell Jennings likely will be elevated from the practice squad to provide depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson against the Saints on Sunday, while Jashaun Corbin is another backfield option on the practice squad. |

Antonio Gibson Antonio Gibson Diagnosed with torn ACL
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 1:51 PM
Gibson suffered a torn ACL in Sunday night's win over the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: It didn't look good after Gibson was in tears as he was helped off the field in the first half. He'll now miss the remainder of the 2025 season and finished his campaign with 25 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown. Gibson also caught two passes for six yards on three targets. With Gibson on the shelf, the Patriots figure to ride the tandem of Rhamondre Stevenson and dynamic rookie TreVeyon Henderson the rest of the way. Terrell Jennings currently is on the practice squad and will be an option to join the 53-man roster. |

DeMario Douglas DeMario Douglas Two catches versus Bills
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 10:01 AM
Douglas caught two of his three targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Douglas, who was on the field for 17 of a possible 60 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was out-snapped in the contest by fellow WRs Kayshon Boutte (37), Mack Hollins (35) and Stefon Diggs (30). With just seven catches for 30 yards and a TD on 16 targets in five games, Douglas is off the lineup radar in all but the deepest of fantasy formats. |

Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Not targeted in Week 5
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 9:54 AM
Hollins, who was on the field for 35 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was not targeted in the contest.
Analysis: Prior to Sunday's zero-target outing, Hollins had scored in two of his previous three games, but with a total of nine targets through five contests overall, the wideout profiles as a hit-or-miss option in TD-friendly formats. |
|
Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Three catches Sunday
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 9:46 AM
Boutte, who logged 37 of a possible 60 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught all three of his three targets in the contest for 43 yards.
Analysis: Boutte began the regular season with a six-catch, 103-yard effort, but he was targeted just once Week 2 and has logged three targets in each of his last three outings since then. Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs has solidified himself as the Patriots' WR1 over the past two games, a context that limits Boutte's lineup viability to deeper fantasy formats. |

Antonio Gibson Antonio Gibson Getting knee checked out
Mon, Oct 6, 2025, 9:22 AM
Coach Mike Vrabel noted Monday that Gibson -- who exited Sunday night's 23-20 win over the Bills -- is slated to "go through some tests this morning," Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Prior to injuring his knee on a kickoff return in the second quarter, Gibson carried six times for 21 yards and caught his only target for five yards, while fumbling once. If Gibson is forced to miss time, Terrell Jennings would be a candidate to move up from the practice squad to provide depth behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Scores twice, but fumbles again
Sun, Oct 5, 2025, 11:24 PM
Stevenson took seven carries for 14 yards, two touchdowns and a lost fumble while adding two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Stevenson led New England's three-headed backfield with his seven carries Sunday, rewarding fantasy managers with a pair of trips to the end zone. The bad news for the veteran rusher was that his ball security woes continued with his third lost fumble in as many games. Luckily Stevenson's case of fumblitis didn't cost his team a shot at victory like it did in Week 3 against the Steelers. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if the Patriots leaned more heavily on TreVeyon Henderson and Antonio Gibson going forward if Stevenson is unable to correct his turnover issues. |
