Patriots trade Ja’Lynn Polk to Saints, teams swap future picks

The Patriots traded wide receiver Ja’Lynn Polk to the New Orleans Saints.

Fantasy Impact: 

The teams will also swap future draft picks. The Patriots get a 6th in 2027, the Saints get a 7th in 2028. This is a rare occurrence where a player who is on injured reserve is traded. The Saints clearly like Polk enough to stash him for the season and take on over $2 million in guaranteed money over the remaining two years of Polk’s contract in 2026 and 2027.

The Patriots drafted two wide receivers in 2024. Neither are with the team after just one season. In addition to Polk, 4th-round pick Javon Baker is now with the Eagles’ practice squad.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman cleared, TE Isaiah Likely Out for Week 2

Ravens TE Isaiah Likely (foot) is officially out again Sunday vs. Cleveland. WR Rashod Bateman (personal) is good to go.

Related Players: Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, Mark Andrews

Fantasy Impact: 

Andrews disappointed in Week 1, but we've been here before. His efficiency in the red zone makes him a top-7 (at least) option in any given week, particularly with Likely out.

Consider Bateman a boom/bust WR4 option in Week 2.

James Cook

Bills RB James Cook (hamstring) is off the injury report and good to go Sunday vs. the Jets.

Related Players: Ray Davis, Ty Johnson

Fantasy Impact: 

All systems go for James Cook as a high-end RB2 here. Keep Davis in the desperation RB4 range.

Xavier Worthy

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy officially Doubtful for Week 2

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy (shoulder) is officially doubtful for Sunday vs. the Eagles.

Related Players: Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Tyquan Thornton, Travis Kelce

Fantasy Impact: 

Brown is the most obvious beneficiary and should be considered a fringe WR2/3. Smith-Schuster will operate underneath with a limited ceiling, while Thornton is a desperation boom/bust play.
