Patriots WR Mack Hollins (abdomen) has been activated from IR, putting him on track to play in Sunday's AFC Championship vs. the Broncos. Hollins had emerged as a big part of New England's offense before going down in Week 16, registering a 77% route rate and averaging 7.0 targets over his last six games. It's unclear how big a role Hollins will play coming off a one-month absence, but he was a full participant in Friday's practice.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is active for tonight's Wild Card game vs. the Chargers. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. The hammy adds some risk to Boutte's fantasy outlook, but he should be in his usual downfield role tonight.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's Wild Card game vs. the Chargers. He was added to the injury report on Thursday but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. We're tentatively expecting Boutte to play this weekend but will look for further updates on his status.

Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte (concussion) practiced all week and is off the final injury report. He’ll be back in his deep-threat role for Sunday’s regular-season finale vs. the Dolphins.

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is facing felony strangulation or suffocation and assault charges stemming from an incident that occurred on December 2, following the team's Monday Night Football game against the New York Giants. Diggs is scheduled to be arraigned on January 22. Per the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the team released a statement: "The New England Patriots are aware of the accusations that have been made regarding Stefon Diggs. Stefon has informed the organization that he categorically denies the allegations. We support Stefon. We will continue to gather information and will cooperate fully with the appropriate authorities and the NFL as necessary. Out of respect for all parties involved, and given that this is an ongoing legal matter, we will have no further comment at this time.”

We will monitor developments as news drops.

Patriots WR Demario Douglas (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. That adds obvious risk to Douglas’ fantasy profile, although New England could definitely use him today with WRs Kayshon Boutte and Mack Hollins out. Douglas ultimately isn’t a viable play in redraft leagues but has some flier appeal in daily tournaments.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) is active for today’s game vs. the Jets. The rookie got in a full practice on Friday and cleared protocol on Saturday. Henderson figures to share work with RB Rhamondre Stevenson but is an upside RB2 with his Patriots big favorites against a lifeless Jets team.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has cleared concussion protocol and is expected to play vs. the Jets on Sunday, per multiple reports. The rookie should not be limited coming off the head injury. He's in a great spot with his Patriots 13.5-point favorites against a Jets defense that ranks 30th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to RBs over the last five weeks.

The Patriots are placing WR Mack Hollins on IR. That means he'll not only miss the last two weeks of the regular season, but at least the first two playoff games as well. Hollins had already been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets with an abdominal injury.

Patriots RB Treyveon Henderson (concussion) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jets. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday. That should have him on track to clear protocol and play on Sunday, but we’ll keep you updated on his progress. Henderson will be an upside RB2 if he suits up – and knock Rhamondre Stevenson to RB3 status.

The Patriots have ruled LB Robert Spillane, Edge Harold Landry, and DL Milton Williams out for Sunday's game against the Jets. It'll be the third straight missed game for Spillane, who also went inactive with his sprained ankle last week after being activated in an "emergency" role the game before. Landry missed practice all week with a knee injury. Williams is working back from an ankle injury that landed him on IR. He put in limited practices this week, but the team clearly deemed him not ready yet -- perhaps motivated in part by the matchup with a lifeless Jets squad.

Patriots WRs Kayshon Boutte (concussion) and Mack Hollins (abdomen) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. That strips the offense of two of its top three WRs in targets. And Demario Douglas, who’s fourth among New England WRs in targets, is questionable with a hamstring injury. That leaves Stefon Diggs and Kyle Williams as the top two healthy WRs. Diggs is much more likely to get a full helping of routes in this one, making him a safer fantasy bet. We’d try not to use Williams in season-long leagues, but he’s an intriguing flier in daily contests. TE Hunter Henry could also see more volume this weekend.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) remained limited on Thursday's estimated practice report. He'll likely need to get in a full practice on Friday in order to clear protocol for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. We'll update the rookie's status again tomorrow.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a chance to be cleared in time for Sunday's game vs. the Jets, but we'll need to keep an eye on his progress over the next few days. RB Rhamondre Stevenson would downgrade from high-end RB2 status to more of a RB3 if Henderson is able to play.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson banged his head on the turf while being tackled on a 1-yard run in the second quarter and was evaluated for a concussion. Henderson was ruled out of the game mid-way through the third quarter. Rhamondre Stevenson filled in for the rest of the game for the Patriots, who rallied in the fourth quarter to defeat the Ravens 28-24. Henderson was held to 3 yards on 5 carries and caught a pass for 9 yards before he exited the game. He will have to clear the league's concussion protocol before he can return to action. If Henderson misses Week 17, Stevenson would be on the RB2 radar against a New York Jets' defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points to RBs. We'll keep an eye on Henderson's progression through the protocol and his participation in practice this week.

Patriots LB Robert Spillane made the active roster for Sunday's loss to the Bills after entering the weekend questionable with a foot injury that limited his final two days of practice. If you started him in your IDP lineup, though, you probably noticed that Spillane logged absolutely no stats. That's because New England decided to hold out its lead LB and treat him only as an "emergency" option.

Patriots QB Drake Maye threw for a season-low 155 yards in Sunday’s loss to Buffalo. Maye failed to throw a TD pass for only the second time this season, although he delivered his third and fourth rushing TDs of 2025.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson remained the clear lead back in Week 12, despite the return of Rhamondre Stevenson. The rookie out-carried Stevenson 18-6 and topped him in targets, 4-2.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry popped off for 7 catches, 115 yards, and 1 score in Sunday’s win over the Bengals. This marked Henry's first 100-yard game since Week 2 of last season (vs. the Seahawks).

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is active for today’s game vs. the Bengals. He practiced all week, including a full workout on Friday, so that toe should be at least close to 100%. Stevenson was playing well ahead of RB TreVeyon Henderson before going down, but the rookie was excellent the last three weeks. It’s unclear exactly how work will be split today, but both guys get matchup upgrades vs. Cincinnati’s 32nd-ranked RB defense. See where they land in the Week 12 RB rankings.
