Mack Hollins Mack Hollins Season-high yardage total in win
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 5:40 PM
Hollins secured six of 10 targets for 106 yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: With Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) sidelined Sunday, Hollins was one of multiple receivers to help fill the former's typical downfield role. Hollins' main contribution in that regard came on a 54-yard grab just past the midway point of the fourth quarter. Hollins finished with season-high figures in both his yardage and target totals, and he led the Patriots in all three receiving categories. Hollins will remain one of several capable complementary options available to Drake Maye in a Week 11 home matchup against the Jets on Thursday night. |

Stefon Diggs Stefon Diggs Key TD grab in win
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 5:19 PM
Diggs brought in five of eight targets for 46 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: It was a prototypical stat line for Diggs, who did a lot of the dirty work in the short and medium passing windows as customary. The veteran wideout also recorded a touchdown for a third consecutive game on the final play of the first half, recording a nifty one-yard scoring grab in close quarters. Diggs' yardage total was also his second highest of the last five games, and he should continue filling a key role in Thursday night's divisional battle versus the Jets. |

Drake Maye Drake Maye Connects for big plays in win
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 5:01 PM
Maye completed 16 of 31 passes for 270 yards with two touchdowns and one interception while adding seven rushes for 13 yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Maye and the Patriots offense started slowly by netting just 44 yards across 15 plays on their first two possessions, but the second-year signal-caller ignited the unit with a 72-yard touchdown pass to Kyle Williams on the sole play of New England's third drive. He'd add a fourth-down one-yard scoring toss to Stefon Diggs on the final play of the first half, and Maye ultimately finished with his fourth-highest passing yardage total of the campaign. Maye also now has a five-game multi-TD-pass streak heading into Thursday night's Week 11 home matchup against the Jets. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson Breaks off two long runs in win
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:05 PM
Henderson rushed 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns while also bringing in his sole target for three yards in the Patriots' 28-23 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: Henderson's career-best rushing yardage total was largely the result of 55- and 69-yard touchdown runs in the second half, plays on which the rookie's signature speed was on full display. Henderson filled the clear lead-back role in the road victory, as backfield mate Terrell Jennings exited the contest with a knee injury. Given his performance Sunday and the short turnaround for a Week 11 Thursday night matchup against the Jets, it appears Henderson will continue enjoying virtually full control of the backfield for that divisional contest. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Won't return Sunday
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 1:47 PM
Jennings (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Jennings thus finishes the contest with four carries for five yards. The Patriots play again Thursday night against the Jets, so Jennings' status for that game currently looks cloudy given the short turnaround. Given that Rhamondre Stevenson is still dealing with a toe injury, D'Ernest Johnson could end up backing up TreVeyon Henderson in Week 11. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Hurts knee Sunday
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 1:00 PM
Jennings was forced out of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers with a knee injury, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Jennings carried four times for five yards. In his absence, fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson is available to work behind TreVeyon Henderson. |

Tommy DeVito Tommy DeVito Emergency QB3 for Week 10
Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 10:48 AM
DeVito (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Patriots' emergency third quarterback against the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: DeVito will not be permitted to see the field Sunday unless both Drake Maye and Joshua Dobbs are removed from the contest due to injury, illness or ejection. DeVito has not appeared in a single regular-season game in 2025. |

D'Ernest Johnson D'Ernest Johnson Elevated for Week 10
Sat, Nov 8, 2025, 4:13 PM
The Patriots elevated Johnson from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Johnson has been elevated to the Patriots' active roster for a second consecutive week. He will serve as the RB3 behind TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings and will also serve as a returner on kickoffs in Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, per Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site. Johnson played five snaps on special teams without showing up in the box score otherwise during the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons. |

Kyle Williams Kyle Williams Added work on tap Sunday
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 2:13 PM
With Kayshon Boutte out with a hamstring injury, Williams is in line to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, Mike Reiss of ESPN reports.
Analysis: With Boutte having exited the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons after logging just 18 snaps, Williams ended up recording a season-high 31 snaps. Look for that trend to continue this weekend, but the 2025 third-rounder still profiles as a speculative Week 10 fantasy lineup option given that Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also are in the team's WR mix. |

Terrell Jennings Terrell Jennings Remains RB2 with Stevenson out
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 2:10 PM
Jennings is expected to see added snaps Sunday against the Buccaneers, as Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports that Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) won't play.
Analysis: Jennings played a complementary role alongside TreVeyon Henderson in Stevenson's absence against the Falcons in Week 9, turning 12 touches into 44 yards from scrimmage, including a three-yard touchdown run. Per Reiss, Stevenson remaining out paves the way for Henderson to make his second straight start Sunday, but Jennings is poised to maintain his expanded role, while fellow RB D'Ernest Johnson likely will be elevated from the practice squad once again to provide backfield depth this weekend. |

TreVeyon Henderson TreVeyon Henderson On track to lead backfield Sunday
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 12:39 PM
With Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) having been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Henderson once again is in line to see added backfield work this weekend.
Analysis: In Stevenson's absence in the Patriots' 24-23 win over the Falcons in Week 9, Henderson started and recorded a 75 percent snap share en route to carrying 14 times for 55 yards and catching four of his six targets for 32 yards, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of New England's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times for 35 yards and a TD and hauling in his only target for nine yards. Against Tampa Bay, look for the timeshare to continue to lean in Henderson's favor, a context that gives him Week 10 fantasy lineup viability. Meanwhile, Jennings offers an option for those in deeper formats who are scrambling for RB help this week. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Ruled out for Sunday
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 12:29 PM
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Boutte (hamstring) will be out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Boutte thus will target a return to action Thursday night against the Jets. In Boutte's absence, rookie WR Kyle Williams figures to see added snaps Week 10, while Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also profile as candidates to handle a portion of the targets that would normally go to Boutte. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Won't play Sunday
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 12:24 PM
Coach Mike Vrabel said Friday that Stevenson (toe) will be out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, thus will target a return to action next Thursday night against the Jets. In Stevenson's continued absence versus Tampa Bay, look for TreVeyon Henderson (who started and logged a 75 percent snap share en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times against Atlanta) to head the Patriots' Week 10 backfield, while Terrell Jennings (who was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense last weekend, rushing 11 times and recording one target) also should handle his share of complementary touches Sunday. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Not participating in practice
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 11:08 AM
Boutte (hamstring) didn't participate in the initial portion of Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With Boutte trending toward a third consecutive DNP, the wideout doesn't seem likely to be available Sunday against Tampa Bay. If that ends up being the case, rookie Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps Week 10, with Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins also candidates to absorb targets that would normally go in Boutte's direction. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Still not practicing
Fri, Nov 7, 2025, 11:03 AM
Stevenson (toe) wasn't participating in the initial portion of Friday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With Stevenson trending toward a sixth straight 'DNP' in practice, it seems unlikely that he'll be available Sunday against the Buccaneers. If that ends up being the case, TreVeyon Henderson and Terrell Jennings once again would be in line to lead the Patriots backfield Week 10. |

Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Not practicing again
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 1:49 PM
Stevenson (toe) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Stevenson was present for the media-access portion of the session, but he was merely observing from the sideline while his healthy teammates took part in practice. With two straight absences to kick off Week 10 prep, Stevenson appears to be facing an uphill battle to suit up Sunday at Tampa Bay. If Stevenson ends up missing a second straight game, the Patriots would presumably once again lean on TreVeyon Henderson as their top back, while Terrell Jennings would handle a complementary role. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Sidelined for another practice
Thu, Nov 6, 2025, 1:42 PM
Boutte (hamstring) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With Boutte going down as a non-participant for the second straight day, his availability for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay would appear to be in peril. Before deciding whether Boutte enters the weekend with a designation or is ruled out in advance of Sunday's contest, the Patriots will wait and see if he's able to make enough progress with his hamstring injury to practice Friday in some fashion. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Logging DNP on Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:25 PM
Boutte (hamstring) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: With a DNP to start the week, Boutte's status for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers remains cloudy. If he ends up limited or out in Week 10, Kyle Williams would likely see added snaps, with Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas and Mack Hollins available to handle targets that might otherwise go to Boutte. |
|
Rhamondre Stevenson Rhamondre Stevenson Not slated to practice Wednesday
Wed, Nov 5, 2025, 12:20 PM
Stevenson (toe) won't practice Wednesday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.
Analysis: Stevenson, who was inactive for the Patriots' Week 9 win over the Falcons, has two more chances to practice before injury designations are assigned for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. In his absence versus Atlanta, TreVeyon Henderson started and logged a 75 percent snap share, en route to carrying 14 times and being targeted six times, while Terrell Jennings was on the field for 25 percent of the team's snaps on offense, rushing 11 times and recording one target. |

Kayshon Boutte Kayshon Boutte Status in question for Week 10
Mon, Nov 3, 2025, 10:46 AM
Head coach Mike Vrabel said that Boutte (hamstring) likely won't practice when the Patriots begin Week 10 prep Wednesday, and the wideout's status for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay is uncertain, Chad Graff of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Boutte played just 18 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense and finished with no catches on one target before being forced out of this past Sunday's 24-23 win over the Falcons due to a hamstring injury. If Boutte is unable to practice in some capacity by Friday, he'll likely be in line to miss his first game of the season. According to Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site, Vrabel specifically noted that Kyle Williams -- who played 46 percent of snaps Week 9 -- would get more opportunities if Boutte ends up sitting out against the Buccaneers. |
