Patriots Inactives

De’Von Achane is clear full-go, says Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley.

Achane may be a tough choice for fantasy owners in drafts this season on what is now a depleted Miami offense. As our John Paulsen said, Achane has finished RB7 and RB5 the last two seasons, and the efficiency profile backs it up–his run grade and YAC/Att both rank at the 98th percentile. He's a legitimate difference-maker with the ball in his hands. The 2026 context is a tougher call, since there’s been a coaching and quarterback change in Miami. On a team that figures to be bad and trailing frequently, game script adds another layer of uncertainty. The talent is easy to trust. The situation isn't.

Mike McCarthy says they are going to move DK Metcalf around around the formation more this year.

The post went on to say that McCarthy added he was already pretty impressed with the chemistry between Metcalf and Aardon Rodgers last year. McCarthy commented, "We need him going....DK can change games." We rank Metcalf 29th on our WR list and expect another WR2-ish finish, assuming he keeps his same role with the addition of Pittman and Bernard.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield is reporting to training camp without a new deal in hand.

Sources told ESPN that Mayfield and his agent have not made significant progress with the Bucs on a new contract. A deal is largely not expected by the start of the Bucs' first camp practice on July 29, but there is still time to sort through it and potentially reach a deal, sources added.

As the story said, Mayfield has one year remaining on his contract, which will expire at the end of the 2026 regular season. Sources close to the situation have said that he would like a deal that reflects his performance and is more in line with what quarterbacks of a similar caliber are making, which includes leading the Bucs to two straight playoff appearances in 2023 and 2024.
