The Patriots placed Edge Harold Landry on the physically unable to perform list for the start of training camp. It's not a surprise after Landry sat out spring workouts while working back from post-season knee surgery. He suffered the injury in October but played through it the rest of the way and delayed surgery until February, after the Super Bowl.

The Eagles are finally sending WR A.J. Brown to the Patriots for a 2028 first-round pick and a 2027 fifth-rounder, according to multiple reports. The deal is pending a Brown physical, of course, but has been expected for months now. ESPN reports that waiting until June 1 allowed the Eagles to split Brown’s $40 million cap hit between this year and next. (NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo calls it $43 million, with $27 million of that on the team’s 2027 cap.)

According to Mike Reiss of ESPN, Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte is currently not attending voluntary workouts with the Patriots, instead working out away from the facility. This could be an indication that trade rumors from SI’s Albert Breer about Boutte being available for a fifth- or sixth-round draft pick could be accurate. WR A.J. Brown is still expected to be traded from the Eagles to the Patriots after June 1st according to Adam Schefter of ESPN, which could push Boutte out with WRs Romeo Doubs, DeMario Douglas, Mack Hollins, Kyle Williams, and Efton Chism III completing the current WR room.

The New England Patriots selected Alabama RB Jamarion Miller in Round 7 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Despite leading Alabama in rushing each of the past two seasons, he averaged just 48.8 yards per game in that span. Efficiency never spiked either, with 4.6 yards per carry as a junior and 3.9 as a senior. That’s underwhelming output for a top-5 RB recruit in the 2022 class, per 247Sports. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Miller ranked ninth in 2025 rushing market share (44.1%), and 19th in yards after contact per attempt (2.45). He ranked 16th in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.17) and 14th in receiving yards per route run (0.75). He will turn 22 years old next week.

The New England Patriots selected Notre Dame TE Eli Raridon in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Son of former Notre Dame OL Scott Raridon, Eli was a four-star recruit who followed his Dad’s footsteps to the Fighting Irish. Raridon suffered knee injuries in both his first and second season at Notre Dame. He served in a reserve role behind Mitchell Evans in 2024, but stayed fully healthy. He took over the starting job in 2025, going 32-482-0. He shows a combination of blocking and receiving prowess that could turn into fantasy upside. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Raridon ranked ninth in 2025 aDOT (8.1), and eighth in team market share of receiving yards (19.6%). He ranked fourth in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (1.8) and third in receiving yards per route run (2.23). He is currently 22 years old.

The Eagles continue to discuss an A.J. Brown trade, and the Patriots remain highly interested in acquiring him. Brown has been at the center of trade rumors for most of the offseason, but his contract made a pre-June 1st move unlikely. Now, with both sides interested in a deal, Brown appears likely to head to New England as Drake Maye's long-term No. 1 WR.

WR Romeo Doubs has agreed to terms with the New England Patriots on a four-year, $80m deal. After releasing WR Stefon Diggs, the Patriots desperately needed to add to their WR group and will sign the former Packers' WR. He has the potential be lead the Patriots' WRs in snaps opposite of Kayshon Boutte on the outside. His contract indicates a committment to getting Doubs on the field to continue helping the development of QB Drake Maye.

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.

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.
