Pats RB Ridley sees just 13 snaps

Oct 10, 2011

The Patriots leaned heavily on BenJarvus Green-Ellis as 61 snaps is an extremely high total. Part of the reason the number was so high is that Green-Ellis, in addition to his regular duties, played Danny Woodhead's role in passing situations.

That reflects the coaching staff's view that he's most reliable protecting Tom Brady among the team's healthy backs.

Fantasy Impact:

Ridley was a nice pickup last week, but the Pats RB game plan is always unpredictable. It seems like the team trusts Green-Ellis right now, and for good reason, young RBs often struggle in pass protection and Ridley seems to be no exception. Ridley's days are coming, but for now it seems like he's going to be a risky, unpredictable start.

The Eagles and star WR A.J. Brown agreed to terms on a new 3-year extension for $96M, the highest for any WR in NFL history. He’s now under contract through 2029 & his total guarantee of $84M is also the highest.

Related Players: DeVonta Smith, DeVante Parker, Parris Campbell

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles are not messing around with their top two receivers, inking this deal just 10 days after locking in DeVonta Smith. Jalen Hurts remains insulated with high-level talent.

The Lions have a deal for one of the top young talents. They agreed on an extension for WR Amon-Ra St. Brown. He gets four years and more than $120M, with $77M guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact:

Good move for the Lions, who lock in their No. 1 pass-catching option. They will still likely address the position in the NFL Draft, but that shouldn't impact St. Brown.

The Jets are trading QB Zach Wilson to the Denver Broncos. The deal: Wilson and a 7th to Denver for a 6th.

Related Players: Jarrett Stidham

Fantasy Impact:

It's hard to picture this prohibiting the team from taking a QB in the NFL Draft but it certainly insulates them a little bit if they end up unable to move up where they want. Wilson's dynasty SuperFlex value will at least improve in the short term.
