Comment () | Share: Patriots | David Harris likely to make team Fri, 23 Jun 2017 07:12:19 -0700 New England Patriots LB David Harris is a near lock to make the 53-man roster. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Shea McClellin likely in passing-down role Fri, 23 Jun 2017 07:11:32 -0700 New England Patriots LB Shea McClellin is likely to be used in a "passing-game" role to utilize his coverage skills. Comment () | Share: Patriots | David Harris could have sporadic role Thu, 22 Jun 2017 12:00:07 -0700 New England Patriots LB David Harris will be competing for playing time with fellow LBs Shea McClellin, Elandon Roberts and Kyle Van Noy. He is expected to be used in a mix-and-match approach, according to ESPNBoston's Mike Reiss, but Harris also provides insurance incase LB Dont'a Hightower is injured. Comment () | Share: Patriots | David Harris financials Wed, 21 Jun 2017 10:31:41 -0700 Updating a previous report, New England Patriots LB David Harris signed a two-year deal worth $6.75 million, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Patriots | David Harris agrees with Patriots Wed, 21 Jun 2017 07:23:25 -0700 Free-agent LB David Harris (Jets) agreed to a two-year deal with the New England Patriots Wednesday, June 21, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Brandin Cooks praised by head coach Tue, 20 Jun 2017 16:49:40 -0700 New England Patriots WR Brandin Cooks has already impressed head coach Bill Belichick. "Brandin's worked hard. Definitely, he has some skill. A transition for him [from the Saints]; he's working hard to make it," Belichick said. Belichick said Cooks is able to do multiple things for the Patriots and they'll have to see how those tools translate at training camp. Fantasy Tip: Cooks, Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, among others, give Tom Brady a versatile and formidable group of pass-catchers. Cooks may not be as involved with the Patriots, but he'll still play an integral role. As such, he should part of the WR2 conversation for fantasy purposes. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Malcolm Mitchell eased along during spring Sun, 18 Jun 2017 12:49:55 -0700 New England Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell was kept on the sideline throughout spring practices by design. According to ESPN's Mike Reiss, the Patriots are subscribing to a "less is more" approach with the second-year wideout and doing what they can to help sustain him for the long haul given his extensive history with knee injuries. Fantasy Tip: Mitchell was a pleasant surprise as a fourth-round rookie in 2016, but he figures to be reduced to more of a specialty role as a sophomore after New England added Brandin Cooks to a receiver corps that already boasts Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan. As such, Mitchell will have a hard time being fantasy-relevant this season barring a rash of injuries in front of him on the depth chart. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Patrick Chung can earn bigger salary Sat, 17 Jun 2017 11:54:31 -0700 New England Patriots SS Patrick Chung will have a chance to earn an extra $800,000 in incentives this upcoming season, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Rob Gronkowski a full participant Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:23:06 -0700 New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski (back) has been a full participant in practice and hasn't missed a practice this offseason. Fantasy Tip: That's a great sign for Gronk, but the number of injuries is piling up on his 28-year-old body. The tight end fray is starting to catch up to him, and the risk associated with taking him so high in drafts may not be worth it anymore. The team is also loaded with receivers and running backs that catch the ball. He's still an elite TE1, if not still the best at the position, but the risk is glaring. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Dont'a Hightower limited Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:18:51 -0700 New England Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower (undisclosed) hasn't fully participated in practices this offseason. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Tom Brady's arm strength still there Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:16:37 -0700 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady has showcased the same arm strength he has for most of his career in offseason workouts. Fantasy Tip: Brady is turning 40, but there is little reason to believe a downswing is coming. He is more loaded at the skill positions than he has ever been, and he's an elite QB1 option. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Chris Hogan in three-wide sets Fri, 16 Jun 2017 07:16:04 -0700 New England Patriots WR Chris Hogan has been lining up with WR Brandin Cooks and WR Julian Edelman in three-wide receiver sets. Fantasy Tip: Hogan had a modest 38-680-4 line on the season, but he had some big performances in spots. Hogan isn't someone to lean on consistently, but he can be a matchup beast as a WR5. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Jimmy Garoppolo limited Tue, 13 Jun 2017 09:43:58 -0700 New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo (leg) was limited to the exercise bike Tuesday, June 13, due to a minor leg injury. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Matt Lengel favorite to be No. 3 TE Sat, 10 Jun 2017 21:29:36 -0700 New England Patriots TE Matt Lengel has the slight edge over TE James O'Shaughnessy to be the No. 3 tight end, according to Stephen Hewitt of the Boston Herald.
