Patriots QB Drake Maye went off for 374 yards and 4 TDs in Sunday's blowout win over the Raiders. He's the QB1 for Week 5 entering the Monday nighter.

Patriots WR A.J. Brown (ankle) is eligible to come off IR this week, but it doesn't sound like HC Mike Vrabel is counting on him. "I don’t know whenever he’ll be back, but he should help us," Vrabel said. "I hope that he’s going to help us. That remains to be seen yet: when he’ll be back. So, we’ll see how he does today and move from there.” NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said shortly after Brown suffered his high-ankle sprain that he was expected to miss 6 weeks. That timeline would have Brown back Week 8. We'll see if he hits the practice field this week, but fantasy owners shouldn't plan on having Brown for Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Raiders with an ankle injury. He carried 4 times for 22 yards and caught his lone target for 16 yards before exiting. We'll update Henderson's status when we know more.

Update: Henderson has been ruled out.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. Stevenson said Friday that he was “ready to go,” although HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of his availability for this one multiple times throughout the week. Stevenson certainly comes with some added risk in fantasy lineups today.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is expected to play vs. the Raiders today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Stevenson was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable. HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of his status throughout the week, but Stevenson said Friday that he was "ready to go." The knee adds some risk to his Week 5 profile. Check your Team Dashboard to see if Stevenson belongs in your starting lineup.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. He was limited in practice all week, and HC Mike Vrabel sounded unsure of Stevenson’s availability for this one multiple times. But Stevenson said Friday that he’s “ready to go.” We’ll look for further updates on his status and get New England’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday. It’s safe to assume that Stevenson won’t be at 100% if he does suit up for this one. That makes RB TreVeyon Henderson a more intriguing Week 5 fantasy start.

Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Raiders. With WR A.J. Brown still on IR with his ankle injury, New England is down to WRs Romeo Doubs, Demario Douglas, Efton Chism, and Kyle Williams. Doubs is the only realistic fantasy starter among the group.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He limped off late in last week's win over the Bills, and HC Mike Vrabel would only say before practice today that Stevenson "has a chance" to play against the Raiders on Sunday. Getting on the field early in the week should have him on track to play, but Stevenson's status will be worth monitoring the rest of the week. His absence would turn RB TreVeyon Henderson into a strong fantasy start.

Patriots WR Mack Hollins (calf) did not practice on Wednesday. He's played a significant role since WR A.J. Brown went down, registering a 75% route rate and 21% target share across Weeks 2 and 3. Hollins' absence vs. the Raiders this weekend would leave Romeo Doubs, Efton Chism, Demario Douglas, and Kyle Williams as New England's top 4 WRs.

Patriots WR Romeo Doubs caught 6 of 9 targets for 58 yards and 2 TDs in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. He led the team in targets and receiving TDs, finishing with 23.8 PPR points. Doubs played 49 of 76 snaps (64.5%) and ran 29 routes, the most of any Patriots WR. His longest catch went for 15 yards, so the TDs carried his day. TE Hunter Henry was the only Patriot to match his 29 routes.

Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson ran 13 times for 47 yards (3.6 yards per carry) and a TD in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. He also caught 3 of 5 targets for 27 yards, which added up to 16.4 PPR points. Stevenson played 50 of the team's 76 snaps (65.8%) and ran 25 routes. He suffered a right knee injury with about a minute left in the game. He walked off the field, so that will need to be monitored this week.

Patriots QB Drake Maye completed 22 of 37 passes for 269 yards, 3 TDs and 1 INT in Sunday's 29-26 win over the Bills. He added 54 yards on 8 carries, including a 26-yard run. Maye spread the ball around, with four players catching passes of 20+ yards. The one blemish continues to be ball security: he fumbled 3 times and lost one.

Patriots WR Mack Hollins injured his calf in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Bills and is questionable to return. His absence leaves Romeo Doubs, Demario Douglas, and Kyle Williams as New England's top 3 WRs.

Patriots LB Christian Elliss (chest), Edge Dre'Mont Jones (shoulder), and S Craig Woodson (shoulder) are active for today's game against the Bills. All entered the day questionable but can be used as planned in IDP leagues.

Patriots TE Eli Raridon (thigh) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Jaguars. TE Hunter Henry should play a big role today with Raridon and WR A.J. Brown out.

Patriots TE Eli Raridon (thigh) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars. The rookie was limited in Wednesday’s practice and then sidelined on Thursday and Friday. We’re not expecting him to play, which is a slight boost to TE Hunter Henry’s outlook.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson made his season debut against the Steelers in Week 2 after missing Week 1 against the Seahawks due to an ankle injury. The team’s Wednesday game last week gave him a few extra days to recover. Henderson proved effective, rushing 16 times for 76 yards and a TD. That TD came on an explosive 39-yard run that showcased Henderson’s deep speed.

Patriots DL Dre'Mont Jones is active for today's game against the Steelers. A foot issue limited him in practice all week and left him questionable, but Jones should be fine to use at normal levels in IDP lineups. He's coming off a strong Week 1 that included 4 QB hits.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report. He’ll make his 2026 debut against the Steelers on Sunday. Henderson was behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson in the pecking order all summer and figures to operate as the No. 2 RB this weekend. Consider him a big-play-dependent RB3 or flex play in fantasy lineups.

Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson (ankle) was a full-go in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to make his 2026 debut vs. the Steelers this weekend. Henderson was behind RB Rhamondre Stevenson on the depth chart before the ankle injury and is likely to return as the No. 2. That leaves him as just a RB3 or flex option in Week 2 fantasy lineups.
