        No A.J. Brown or TreVeyon Henderson vs. Dolphins

        The Patriots have downgraded WR A.J. Brown and RB TreVeyon Henderson to out for Sunday's game at Miami. That's not a shock in either case, given that both players missed practice Thursday and Friday. The absences provide boosts in opportunity upside to RB Rhamondre Stevenson, RB Corey Kiner, and WR Demario Douglas. Before Brown returned for last week's game at Chicago, Douglas supplied receiving lines of 4-65-2 and 7-86-1 the previous two weeks. He becomes an intriguing PPR play against a weak Miami defense. Check our Week 8 rankings for all the adjustments.
