The Patriots ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson, WR Kayshon Boutte, and TE Austin Hooper for Thursday night vs. the Jets.

Related Players: TreVeyon Henderson, D'Ernest Johnson, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, Demario Douglas

This will be another RB2 week for Henderson, while Diggs stays in his WR2 role, with Hollins and Douglas operating as desperation FLEX plays.

The Patriots have ruled out RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) and WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) for Sunday vs. the Bucs.

This locks Henderson back into an RB2 role, while Jennings can be considered a desperation FLEX in the RB4 range.

Diggs should remain a WR2 option, and Douglas is in that same desperation FLEX territroy as a WR4.

WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring), LB Christian Elliss (hip) and RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) aren’t scheduled to practice today, according to Mike Vrabel.

It's looking like another week of Henderson's backfield, which would put him in solid RB1 range, while Jennings will handle enough of the short-yardage work to put him in high-RB4 range.

If Boutte misses, we can consider Diggs a WR2 yet again, while Pop Douglas is in FLEX consideration as a WR4.

Eliot Wolf on Stefon Diggs: “He’s ahead of schedule injury wise.”

Diggs tore his ACL back in Week 8 last year, and so far seems to be on track to start the season, not suffering any setback as far as reports have indicated at least. Diggs is poised to be the Pats top target this season among a group of relatively young WRs. At least on our depth chart, rookie Williams is second followed by Douglas and Boutte. Overall we have Diggs 37th on our WR list and he should be available starting late in the seventh round of drafts.

Wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk, a 2024 second-round pick out of Washington who had a rocky rookie season (12 catches, 87 yards, 2 TDs), is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Vrabel said he has been excited about how Polk has approached his rehabilitation, working on his lower-body strength.

There's no timetable for recovery here, but Polk certainly didn't need any setbacks after catching only 38.7% of his 31 targets as a 2024 rookie. He should be considered more of a Dynasty hold than a redraft option, particularly with the Patriots tied to a number of options in the '25 Draft class.

WR Keon Coleman is good to go for Sunday and return to the lineup.

Related Players: Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Coleman and Cooper are in the boom/bust WR4 range, as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.

Good news on the way for Buffalo: Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) and TE Dalton Kincaid (knee) are expected to practice fully today. A positive step forward in advance of the showdown with the Lions.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Amari Cooper, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

It's probably still best to start other options over Kincaid, as he takes on a Lions defense that ranks 4th in TE aFPA, but there could be a ton of points here, so if you're in a bind he makes sense as a top-15ish option.

As for Coleman, he's more in the boom/bust WR4 range as Shakir should continue standing atop the target share.

Dalton Kincaid (knee) WILL NOT play against the Chiefs, Sean McDermott announces on WGR 550.

Spencer Brown (ankle) and Amari Cooper (wrist) are both questionable.

Related Players: Dawson Knox, Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Knox gets boosted up into tight end streamer territory, in a good matchup against the Chiefs, who have been susceptible to the position.

Shakir should be considered an interesting WR3 regardless, but gets a boost to his projections should Cooper miss another week.

Sean McDermott says Bills WR Keon Coleman will not play Sunday against Kansas City.

It was possible that Coleman was going to miss multiple weeks of action with the wrist injury and that's now already confirmed. It's the second-straight week Coleman will be out. The Bills are hoping to get back Cooper this week, but if they don't Shakir and Hollins will be the top WRs with Samuel likely also involved. Hollins had a 4-86-0 line with Shakir collecting a 6-58-0 line in Week 10 against the Colts.

Sean McDermott said that WR Amari Cooper (wrist) and FB Reggie Gilliam (hip) will be questionable vs. the Colts.

Keon Coleman has already been declared Out (and will "probably" miss multiple weeks), so it would be quite the blow to the passing offense if Cooper misses as well. Shakir should be locked into WR2 slots in fantasy.
