Patriots to sign RB Kenjon Barner

Sep 11, 2018

The New England Patriots may have found their new punt returner.

According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, the Patriots are expected to sign veteran running back Kenjon Barner, who previously worked out for the team. Barner would fill the team's last remaining roster spot after wide receivers Corey Coleman and Bennie Fowler were reportedly added Monday. The Boston Herald's Karen Guregian later confirmed the news.

Fantasy Impact:

Barner, 28, spent the last four seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles as a depth running back and punt returner. He signed with the Carolina Panthers earlier in the offseason before getting waived at the roster cut deadline.

Belichick: Damien Harris 'can compete for top role'

Bill Belichick notes this morning that Damien Harris is in a different spot this year compared to last year. Can compete for the top role now. Kind of a rare admission from Belichick. Indication of how Harris is viewed in the building.

Fantasy Impact:

Damien Harris' stock has been slowly rising this summer, as he went from RB32 off boards in Underdog drafts in June to his recent spot at RB29 with an ADP of 85.2. Bill Belichick rarely gives much away and it's tough to take what he says too seriously, but Harris is in a great spot to lead the Patriots in carries in 2021 with a fantasy RB2 potential. The 24-year old is 4for4's 30th ranked RB in half-PPR formats.

Dak Prescott could miss a few weeks with shoulder injury —

Fantasy Impact:

So far it's just a strain and Dak Prescott's timetable to return is only a few weeks. His injury is certainly something to monitor in the coming week, but for now, Prescott is still considered a Top-5 fantasy QB.
