Patriots sign WR Demaryius Thomas

Apr 16, 2019

The Patriots are giving former Broncos and Texans WR Demaryius Thomas a 1-year deal worth up $6M, source said. They discussed trading for him last year, signed him this year.

Fantasy Impact:

Thomas caught 59 passes for 677 yards and five touchdowns last year playing for the Broncos and Texans. He is coming off his second Achilles tear of his career, so the first order of business will be for Thomas to get healthy and to make New England's roster.

Giant WRs Sterling Shepard, Darius Slayton (hamstring) week to week

Adam Schefter

yesterday · 7:07 PM EDT

On Monday Night Countdown, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Giants WRs Sterling Shepard and Darius Slayton are week to week with hamstring issues.

Related players: Kenny Golladay, Collin Johnson, Kadarius Toney

Fantasy Impact:

Both players left in the first half. Shepard came into the game as the team's leading receiver and was likely a popular waiver pickup heading into Week 3. Golladay led the way in Week 3 with a 4-64-0 line on five targets. Johnson had a 5-51-0 line with seven targets. Surprisingly, the rookie first round pick Toney only had three targets and finished with a 2-16-0 line.

Las Vegas’ next matchup will be on Monday Night Football in Week 4 against the Chargers, and they may have Josh Jacobs available for it.

“I met with Josh this morning,” head coach Jon Gruden said in his Monday press conference. “We’re going to see how he feels on the practice field this week. I’m not making any predictions, but we’re hopeful that we can get him back on the grass at some point this week.”

Related players: Peyton Barber

Fantasy Impact:

The 2019 first-round pick hasn’t practiced since Week 1, missing the last two games with an ankle injury. Jacobs was apparently closer to playing in Week 3 than he was in Week 2, as he was listed as doubtful instead of out for the matchup with Miami, the story said. Barber racked up over 100 yards on the ground in Week 3.

Titans WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) week-to-week

Titans’ WR A.J. Brown has a strained hamstring and is expected to be considered week to week, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

As our other story on Brown earlier today pointed out, it's been a tough start to the season, and not surprisingly he's now in danger of missing some time. Jones missed time in the game as well, but reports say that was workload-related. Jones could take on the bulk of the work going forward, however, if Brown has to sit. Little known Westbrook-Ikhine caught four balls for 53 yards and a TD. Westbrook-Ikhine did garner some hype in the offseason so it's possible he gets a chance and a bigger role if Brown misses time. Rogers had just one catch but it did go for a TD.
