New England Patriots news, rumors and injuriesPatriots | Elandon Roberts suffers injury Sun, 20 Aug 2017 13:18:41 -0700 New England Patriots LB Elandon Roberts (ribs) was carted off the field during the preseason game Saturday, Aug. 19, and has been diagnosed with bruised ribs, according to a source. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Rex Burkhead steps up Sat, 19 Aug 2017 21:39:12 -0700 New England Patriots RB Rex Burkhead worked with the starters in a 27-23 loss to the Houston Texans in the preseason Saturday, Aug. 19, finishing with seven carries for 20 yards and three catches for 50 yards and a touchdown. Fantasy Tip: With Mike Gillislee sidelined, it was Burkhead who was thrust into a major role. Even if Gillislee is ready for the start of the year, Burkhead is worth grabbing as a RB5 in case injury or Bill Belichick's fickle nature puts him in a featured role. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Tom Brady sharp Saturday Sat, 19 Aug 2017 21:29:13 -0700 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady completed six of his nine passing attempts for 67 yards and a touchdown in 27-23 loss to the Houston Texans in the preseason Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: It's not surprise that Brady was already locked in. He will be at the helm of a loaded offense this season and should be treated as a QB1 in all formats. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Rob Gronkowski takes the field Sat, 19 Aug 2017 19:09:52 -0700 New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski made his first appearance in a preseason game since 2012, playing 15 of the first 17 offensive snaps but failing to make a catch against the Houston Texans Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: Don't worry about Gronkowski being held without a catch. As long as he is healthy heading into the season, he is the top fantasy option at his position. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Mike Gillislee expected to sit out Sat, 19 Aug 2017 11:57:59 -0700 New England Patriots RB Mike Gillislee (hamstring) is not expected to play in the preseason game against the Houston Texans Saturday, Aug. 19. Fantasy Tip: Gillislee has missed most of training camp because of his hamstring injury and there is no timetable to return. He is expected to receive most of the carries when he is healthy but will also share playing time with other running backs on the roster. He could be a No. 2 running back or flex option if he is ready for the season. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Rob Gronkowski likely will sit out Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:48:08 -0700 New England Patriots TE Rob Gronkowski probably will not play in the preseason game against the Houston Texans Saturday, Aug. 19, according to a source. Fantasy Tip: Gronkowski has struggled with injuries over the last few years and probably will not play until the regular season. He is a risky option because of his injury history but is a No. 1 tight end when he is healthy. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Tom Brady expected to play Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:43:04 -0700 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady is expected to play in the preseason game against the Houston Texans Saturday, Aug. 19, according to a source. Fantasy Tip: Brady probably will only play a few series during the game but wants to prepare for the regular season. He has one of the best group of pass catchers in the NFL and will be a No. 1 quarterback in all fantasy leagues. Comment () | Share: Patriots | LaAdrian Waddle has concussion Fri, 18 Aug 2017 14:42:22 -0700 New England Patriots OT LaAdrian Waddle (concussion) suffered a concussion during the team's joint practices with the Houston Texans. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Derek Rivers has torn ACL Fri, 18 Aug 2017 08:35:42 -0700 Updating an earlier report, New England Patriots LB Derek Rivers (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and sprained his lateral collateral ligament, according to the initial MRI.

Comment () | Share: Patriots | Mike Gillislee remains sidelined Wed, 16 Aug 2017 15:43:20 -0700 New York England RB Mike Gillislee (hamstring) did not travel with the team for their joint practices with the Houston Texans. Fantasy Tip: Gillislee has missed a lot of practice time since the start of training camp because of his injury and there is no timetable for his return. He was expected to have a role similar to LeGarrette Blount had last season, but he may have a smaller role in the offense if he does not return soon. He has a chance to be a No. 2 running back or a flex option if he receives most of the carries. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Derek Rivers' injury not serious Wed, 16 Aug 2017 15:35:42 -0700 Updating a previous report, New England Patriots LB Derek Rivers (leg) is still undergoing tests, but the team is optimistic that his injury is not serious, according to a source.

Comment () | Share: Patriots | Malcolm Mitchell limited so far Sun, 13 Aug 2017 08:23:18 -0700 New England Patriots WR Malcolm Mitchell (knee) has mostly only taken part in individual-type drills early in training camp, according to ESPN.com's Mike Reiss. Fantasy Tip: Mitchell flashed the talent as a rookie to be a contributor, but he now finds himself behind Brandin Cooks, Julian Edelman and Chris Hogan in the pecking order at receiver. As a result, he will be hard-pressed to be worthy of a roster spot in fantasy. Comment () | Share:  |
