New England Patriots Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Patriots WR Demario Douglas (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Colts. He was limited in practice all week, but we never heard anything to suggest he was in danger of missing this one. Douglas remains a fine WR4 in PPR leagues.

Patriots WR Demario Douglas (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Colts today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Douglas was limited in practice all week, but we never sensed any real concern about his availability for this one. Douglas remains a fine WR4 play in PPR leagues.

Patriots WR Demario Douglas (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Colts. He was limited in practice all week. We haven’t heard anything to suggest that Douglas is in danger of missing this one, but you’ll need to check back around 11:30 am ET on Sunday when we get New England’s inactives.

The league on Monday reinstated Patriots S Jabrill Peppers from the commissioner's exempt list. He missed the past seven games after early October assault charges. Peppers' next court date in the case is scheduled for January, and the NFL is reportedly continuing its own investigation.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson mustered only 13 yards on 8 carries in Week 12. He failed to catch either of his two targets in a blowout loss to Miami.

Patriots QB Drake Maye threw for 282 yards, two TDs, and one INT in the Week 11 loss to the Rams. He completed a season-high 75% of his passes and averaged 7.1 yards per attempt. Maye hooked up with WR Kendrick Bourne and OL Vederian Lowe for the TDs. His INT came on an overthrow down the middle of the field with less than two minutes to go. Maye added 27 rushing yards on three carries.

Patriots S Kyle Dugger is active for today's game against the Rams. He missed the past three weeks with an ankle injury but practiced throughout the week and should be ready for IDP use. Expect Jaylinn Hawkins to join him at safety, with Marte Mapu inactive for the game.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 20 times for 74 yards in the Patriots win against the Bears. He also caught one pass for three yards. Stevenson remained inefficient, but did not find the end zone, which has saved his recent fantasy days.

Patriots QB Drake Maye returned from a concussion to post 206 yards, 1 TD, and 2 INTs against Tennessee. He starred as a rusher with 95 yards on 8 attempts.

Patriots S Kyle Dugger is inactive for today's game against the Titans, marking the second straight game he'll miss with an ankle sprain. That leaves Jaylinn Hawkins and Marte Mapu as the starting safeties. LB Christian Elliss -- who was also questionable -- is active vs. Tennessee.

Patriots QB Drake Maye has cleared concussion protocol and been removed from the Week 9 injury report. He'll start Sunday's game vs. the Titans. Maye has turned in QB8 and QB7 fantasy finishes in his two full games this season. He threw for 23 yards and ran for 46 yards and a score in a little more than a quarter of action before getting knocked out last week. The Titans rank 14th in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs and will be without top CB L'Jarius Sneed tomorrow. Maye projects as a strong QB2 and a lower-end spot-start option in 1-QB leagues.

Patriots WR Ja’Lynn Polk (concussion) practiced all week and has been cleared to play vs. the Titans this weekend. The rookie has totaled just 10 catches for 78 yards across seven games this season and shouldn’t be anywhere near Week 9 fantasy lineups.

Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Titans. He remained limited in practice all week, which means he still has multiple stages of the concussion protocol to clear. QB Jacoby Brissett seems more likely than Maye to start this weekend, but we’ll keep you updated on the rookie’s status.

Patriots QB Drake Maye (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That means he's made some progress through the protocol and has a chance to be cleared in time to play vs. the Titans this weekend. We'll keep you updated on the rookie's status over the next few days.

Patriots TE Hunter Henry led the team with 5 receptions in Sunday's win over the Jets. His 45 receiving yards trailed WR Kayshon Boutte by 1 for the team lead. And they tied for the team lead with 6 targets apiece.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson scored twice in Sunday's surprising victory over the Jets. That dramatically boosted a line that included 20 carries for just 48 yards. Stevenson also caught all three of his targets for 17 yards.

Patriots QB Drake Maye left in the second quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jets to be checked for a concussion. He's officially questionable to return. We'll update his status when we know more. QB Jacoby Brissett will replace Maye.

Update: Maye has been ruled out with a concussion. It's his first documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week.

Patriots S Kyle Dugger is inactive for today's game against the Jets because of an ankle injury. He was a late addition to the injury report, landing on it Saturday with a "questionable" tag. His absence leaves Marte Mapu and Jaylinn Hawkins as the safety starters. Elsewhere on the Patriots defense, Edge Josh Uche is a healthy scratch. That might indicate he's getting traded this week. Uche has seen too little playing time with New England to be fantasy relevant. We'd have to see what his role might look like elsewhere.

Patriots WR Ja’Lynn Polk (concussion) missed practice all week and is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Jets. The rookie is off to a rough start, catching just 10 of 26 targets for 78 yards and one TD through seven games. Kayshon Boutte, Demario Douglas, and Kendrick Bourne figure to operate as New England’s top three WRs this weekend.

Patriots WR Ja'Lynn Polk is in concussion protocol, HC Jerod Mayo said Wednesday. That makes the rookie iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Jets. Polk, of course, is well off the redraft radar right now. He's caught just 10 of 26 targets for 78 yards through seven games.
