Draft note

by John Paulsen

Michel finished his second season as the No. 28 fantasy running back, rushing for just 3.7 YPC. He had 12 catches all year, so he doesn’t offer much as a receiver. The Cam Newton signing offsets some of the offensive concerns, though Newton is sure to vulture a few rushing touchdowns along the way. Michel should benefit from a YPC standpoint by playing with a running quarterback for the first time in his career.

Sony Michel placed on reserve/COVID-19 list

The Patriots placed RB Sony Michel on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

Fantasy Impact:

The team also placed OL Shaq Mason and DE Derek Rivers on the list. This is certainly a ding to the Patriots’ offensive line but they at least were able to gain confidence two weeks ago when Damien Harris had a very solid game against the Chiefs. He now looks poised to continue as the lead back on the ground with Michel out of the picture for the time being. As of now, the Patriots are still on track to play Sunday against the Broncos.

NE RB Sony Michel - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Kansas City Chiefs
Sony Michel finally showed signs of life in Week 3 where he broke off two long runs and eclipsed 100 yards rushing for the first time since the 2018 AFC Championship Game. As a reminder, Michel totaled 56 total rushing yards through the first two weeks so the 100-yard performance is not likely to be a regular occurrence. Michel's outlook is further dampened by the the fact that the Patriots continue to ramp up Rex Burkhead's workload and James White should return to the lineup this week. At the end of the day, Michel's situation is a total mess to project for fantasy in any given week, making him an unreliable starting option and heavily dependent on scoring touchdowns to return value.
