K.J. Osborn
K.J. Osborn No catches Sunday
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 10:07 AM
Osborn logged 29 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After being a healthy scratch in Week 9, Osborn returned to the mix Sunday, while finishing second among New England's wideouts in terms of snaps. However, he didn't catch his only target in the contest, and unless his volume picks up in the coming weeks, he'll remain off the fantasy radar.
Kendrick Bourne
Kendrick Bourne No snaps in Week 10
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 9:59 AM
Though Bourne was active for Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, he didn't log any snaps in the contest, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.
Analysis: After recording four catches on six targets for 41 yards in the Patriots' overtime loss to the Titans in Week 9, Bourne was the odd man out among the team's wideouts Sunday. While he figures to re-enter the mix in the coming weeks, the veteran is off the fantasy radar unless he reclaims a key role in the New England offense, something that seems unlikely while the team is focused on developing younger WRs like Kayshon Boutte and Ja'Lynn Polk.
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk Catches TD in Week 10
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 9:41 AM
Polk, who was on the field for 26 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target in the contest for a two-yard TD.
Analysis: The rookie was in the Patriots' starting lineup along with -Kayshon Boutte, but Polk continues to see limited volume. That said, it's plausible that the 2024 second-rounder could pick up the pace in terms of his usage and production as the season rolls along, with the team's focus being on the future.
Hunter Henry
Hunter Henry One catch in Week 10
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 9:31 AM
Henry, who logged 57 of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his four targets in the contest for 14 yards.
Analysis: With the Patriots relying heavily on two-TE sets Sunday, Henry's teammate Austin Hooper was on the field for a season-high 41 snaps en route to catching three of his four targets for 64 yards. Given that he continues to see steady snaps in New England's Drake Maye-helmed offense, Henry -- who racked up 20 catches over his previous three outings -- is a bounce-back candidate in Week 11 versus the Rams.
JaMycal Hasty
JaMycal Hasty Logs six carries versus Chicago
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 9:17 AM
Hasty carried the ball six times for 20 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Analysis: While working in a change-of-pace role Sunday, Hasty recorded 12 of a possible 64 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. In a backfield that also includes top option Rhamondre Stevenson (45 snaps, 20 carries) and Antonio Gibson (seven snaps, five carries), Hasty carries limited fantasy lineup upside.
Antonio Gibson
Antonio Gibson Five carries Sunday
Mon, Nov 11, 2024, 9:11 AM
Gibson logged seven of a possible 64 snaps on offense in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: In the process, Gibson recorded 26 rushing yards on five carries and wasn't targeted in the contest. As long as he continues to work behind Rhamondre Stevenson (45 snaps, 20 carries Sunday), Gibson is off the fantasy radar.
Kayshon Boutte
Kayshon Boutte Career-high four catches Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:32 PM
Boutte caught four of six targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Analysis: On a tough day for both offenses, Boutte led the Patriots in targets and set a new career high in receptions. The second-year wideout has seen exactly six targets in three straight games, and in five contests since rookie Drake Maye took over as the starting QB, Boutte has posted a 13-203-1 line on 23 targets. He'll try to build on that modest production in Week 11 against the Rams.
DeMario Douglas
DeMario Douglas Four grabs in Sunday's win
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:29 PM
Douglas caught four of five targets for 50 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Neither offense saw much success Sunday, but Douglas at least tied for the Patriots' lead in receptions with Kayshon Boutte, Douglas' 50 yards were his highest total since Week 6, and on the season he sports a modest 39-356-1 line on 53 targets through 10 games. The switch to rookie Drake Maye under center gives the New England passing attack more upside, but so far Douglas hasn't benefitted on a consistent basis. The slot receiver could make a bigger impact in Week 11 against the Rams.
Austin Hooper
Austin Hooper Surprise leading receiver Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:25 PM
Hooper caught three of four targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Analysis: For the third time in the last four games, Hooper caught at least three passes, and this time he turned the volume into a team high in receiving yards on the afternoon, and a season high for himself. The veteran tight end is still behind Hunter Henry on the Patriots' depth chart, but Hooper's 11-119-0 line on 14 targets over the last four games and steady role in the offense might give him some deep-league fantasy appeal in TE premium formats heading into a Week 11 clash with the Rams.
Rhamondre Stevenson
Rhamondre Stevenson Best yardage total since Week 5
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:20 PM
Stevenson carried the ball 20 times for 74 yards and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears.
Analysis: After eking out just 82 rushing yards total over the prior three games, Stevenson nearly matched that mark Sunday, although his longest gain went for only 11 yards. However, after scoring four TDs in the last two contests, he failed to get into the end zone this time around. Stevenson's 3.8 yards per carry this season is a career low, but he's already scored a career-high seven touchdowns through nine games while amassing 614 scrimmage yards. He'll try to hit paydirt again in Week 11 against the Rams.
Drake Maye
Drake Maye Carried to win by defense
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 4:12 PM
Maye completed 15 of 25 passes for 184 yards and a touchdown with an interception in Sunday's 19-3 win over the Bears. He added 24 rushing yards on four carries.
Analysis: The third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft got the better of Caleb Williams, the first overall pick, in their first career meeting, but neither rookie quarterback sparkled. Maye did account for the only TD of the game however, finding Ja'Lynn Polk for a two-yard score late in the second quarter to put the Patriots in the lead for good. Maye has a 7:5 TD:INT in five games since taking over the starting job at QB, and he'll look to take advantage of a better matchup in Week 11 at home against the Rams.
K.J. Osborn
K.J. Osborn Back in lineup Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:51 AM
Osborn is active for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Osborn was a healthy scratch in Week 9, but following the NFL trade deadline he remains in the Patriots' wideout mix. However, with DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne likely slated to lead the team's Week 10 WR corps, Osborn isn't a high-percentage fantasy option.
Tyquan Thornton
Tyquan Thornton Inactive Sunday
Sun, Nov 10, 2024, 10:48 AM
Thornton (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Analysis: Thornton was also a healthy scratch in Week 9. In his absence versus Chicago, DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte, Kendrick Bourne, Ja'Lynn Polk, Javon Baker and K.J. Osborn will handle the Patriots' wideout duties.
Mitchell Wilcox
Mitchell Wilcox Elevated for Week 10
Sat, Nov 9, 2024, 7:53 PM
Wilcox was elevated from the Patriots' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Wilcox was last elevated to the active roster for Week 4 against the 49ers, during which he played 17 snaps on special teams. He'll serve as New England's No. 4 tight end Sunday against Chicago behind Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper and Jaheim Bell.
Ja'Lynn Polk
Ja'Lynn Polk Limited snaps in return
Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 10:43 AM
Polk logged nine of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Polk, who was inactive in Week 8 due to a concussion, returned to the mix Sunday but saw limited playing time and didn't catch his only target. He's behind DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne in the Patriots' wideout pecking order, making Polk an unreliable fantasy lineup option.
Kayshon Boutte
Kayshon Boutte Two catches Sunday
Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 10:37 AM
Boutte, who was on the field for 66 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, caught two of six targets for 18 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Boutte once again led the Patriots' wideouts in snaps Sunday, but he wasn't able to parlay that into significant production. As long as the 2023 sixth-rounder sees steady playing time with Drake Maye at QB, Boutte will have a chance to make an impact. He'll still be a risky fantasy option in Week 10 against the Bears.
Austin Hooper
Austin Hooper One catch versus Titans
Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 9:54 AM
Hooper logged 27 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, en route to catching his only target for eight yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Meanwhile, Hunter Henry (60 snaps) caught seven of his eight targets in the contest for 56 yards. While firmly behind Henry in usage at tight end, Hooper is off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats.
JaMycal Hasty
JaMycal Hasty Two touches Sunday
Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 9:45 AM
Hasty logged 10 of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: After not seeing any snaps on offense in Week 8, Hasty carried once for no gain and caught his only target for minus-three yards Sunday. With Rhamondre Stevenson maintaining a secure grip on his role as New England's top RB and Antonio Gibson also in the backfield mix, Hasty remains off the fantasy radar.
Antonio Gibson
Antonio Gibson Limited role Sunday
Mon, Nov 4, 2024, 9:40 AM
Gibson was on the field for eight of a possible 69 snaps on offense in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Gibson finished the contest with one carry for minus-one yard and caught his only target for 12 yards. While working behind Rhamondre Stevenson (51 snaps, 10 carries versus Tennessee), Gibson carries limited fantasy upside ahead of a Week 10 trip to Chicago.
Hunter Henry
Hunter Henry Seven catches in OT loss
Sun, Nov 3, 2024, 9:59 PM
Henry recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 20-17 overtime loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Henry remained a favorite target of Drake Maye and has at least five receptions in each of Maye's three starts. Henry remained primarily a short-area option, though four of his catches went for at least 10 yards. While Henry won't match the explosiveness of elite fantasy tight ends, he has a key role in the New England offense and should remain a reliable contributor moving forward.
