Pats Beat: RB Bishop Sankey could find way on 53-man roster

Capable of playing on all three downs, RB Bishop Sankey should have an opportunity in New England. The Pats are set with their pass-catching backs in James White and undrafted rookie D.J. Foster, but they have virtually no depth behind LeGarrette Blount. If Blount gets off to a slow start, or if injuries hit, Sankey could find himself on the team's 53-man roster.

Fantasy Impact: 

Even the return of Dion Lewis won't add depth behind Blount. We've seen reports the team is trying to turn White into more of a dual threat - a back to catch passes but also run the ball. Especially without QB Tom Brady for four games, the Pats would rather not show their hand as far as pass or run is concerned based on what RB is in the backfield.
