New England Patriots news, rumors and injuriesPatriots | Bryan Stork upgraded to probable Sat, 31 Jan 2015 14:27:04 -0800 New England Patriots C Bryan Stork (knee) has been upgraded to probable for the Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1. Comment () | Share: NFL | No judgments made in deflated football case Fri, 30 Jan 2015 16:23:04 -0800 NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the NFL doesn't know enough in the case of the deflated footballs used in the AFC Championship Game to determine if there was an infraction. The NFL continues a "serious" and "thorough" investigation, announced Goodell Friday, Jan. 30, speaking at his annual state of the league news conference. Comment () | Share: Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:57:43 -0800 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 30, and is probable for the Super Bowl. Fantasy Tip: There was never any real doubt that Brady would play, and he is a solid option in FantasyScore for the Super Bowl, where he will cost $7,777 (15.55% of cap). Comment () | Share: Patriots | Friday practice report for Super Bowl Fri, 30 Jan 2015 15:46:34 -0800 New England Patriots C Bryan Stork (knee) was limited in practice Friday, Jan. 30, and is questionable for the Super Bowl. LB Akeem Ayers (knee), LB Dont'a Hightower (shoulder), DT Chris Jones (elbow), CB Darrelle Revis (non-injury) and DT Sealver Siliga (foot) all were limited in practice and are probable. Comment () | Share: Patriots | LeGarrette Blount has charges withdrawn Fri, 30 Jan 2015 07:41:18 -0800 New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount completed his 50 hours of community service, and his drug charge from earlier this season has been withdrawn, according to his attorney. Fantasy Tip: Looking ahead to Sunday, Blount ($7,777; 15.5% of your cap) is a risky pick on FantasyScore when Marshawn Lynch is the same price. It's very possible the Pats use Blount to wear down the Seattle Seahawks defense. However, we'd much rather have Lynch at an equal price. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Tom Brady practices fully Thursday Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:15:22 -0800 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (ankle) was able to go through a full practice session Thursday, Jan. 29. Fantasy Tip: Brady will play against the Seahawks, but you might be better off going with Russell Wilson in FantasyScore when choosing a starting signal caller. Brady faces a much more difficult matchup against the Legion of Boom. Of course, he also has a better corps of receivers, including Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Thursday practice report for Super Bowl week Thu, 29 Jan 2015 19:14:56 -0800 New England Patriots LB Akeem Ayers (knee), LB Dont'a Hightower (shoulder), DT Chris Jones (elbow), DT Sealver Siliga (knee) and C Bryan Stork (knee) were each listed as limited participants in practice Thursday, Jan. 29. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Jimmy Garoppolo impressing in practice Thu, 29 Jan 2015 17:42:43 -0800 New England Patriots QB Jimmy Garoppolo has been impressing in his mimicking of Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson in practice. He has been studying the dual threat quarterback, and trying his best in practice to get the Patriots ready for Super Bowl XLIX. "I've had to get a lot faster real fast," Garoppolo said. "He's an athletic guy, so (I am) trying to extend plays and give those guys the best looks I can. It's a tough balance between studying their offense and studying our defense, so it's a little bit of time management." Fantasy Tip: Garoppolo likely won't see a snap in the Super Bowl, unless disaster strikes the Patriots, so he has no value in FantasyScore. However, he is trying to get his defense ready, and if his work is as good as advertised, it could mean less value for Russell Wilson. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Hotel fire alarm goes off for second time Thu, 29 Jan 2015 10:39:08 -0800 The New England Patriots' players' wing of the Sheraton Wild Horse Pass hotel experienced a false fire alarm for the second time this week at 2 a.m. MST, Thursday, Jan. 29, according to team sources. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Tom Brady a full participant Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:04:42 -0800 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (ankle) practiced in full Wednesday, Jan. 28. Fantasy Tip: Brady is also battling a cold, but he'll be just fine for Super Bowl Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. He should be a solid play at FantasyScore for $7,777 (15.55% of cap). Comment () | Share: Patriots | Wednesday practice report for the Super Bowl Wed, 28 Jan 2015 17:04:16 -0800 New England Patriots LB Dont'a Hightower (shoulder), DT Chris D. Jones (elbow), DT Sealver Siliga (foot) and C Bryan Stork (knee) were limited in practice Wednesday, Jan. 28. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Josh McDaniels defends usage of ineligible receivers Wed, 28 Jan 2015 16:47:59 -0800 New England Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels defended the usage of ineligible receivers when questioned about the tactic during Super Bowl XLIX media availability Wednesday, Jan. 28. McDaniels specifically cleared up that the Patriots huddled before plays in which they used ineligible receivers. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll called the Patriots' strategy "within the rules" and "great ball" during media week. Comment () | Share: Patriots | LeGarrette Blount didn't force Steelers' hand Wed, 28 Jan 2015 12:56:32 -0800 New England Patriots RB LeGarrette Blount didn't orchestrate his release from the Pittsburgh Steelers. "You know things didn't work out as planned … So we decided to part ways. I ended up here and now I'm about to play in the Super Bowl," Blount said Tuesday, Jan. 27. Comment () | Share: Patriots | Tom Brady fighting a cold Wed, 28 Jan 2015 09:29:15 -0800 New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (illness) admitted that he is currently battling a cold, but he said he expects to be 100% ready for the Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 1. "I've had it for four to five days, my kids got sick and my wife's pretty sick right now," Brady said. "I brought it, unfortunately, to Phoenix, but I'll be fine. I'll be good." Brady is focused on rest and eating plenty of garlic, which he said is one of his "old remedies." Fantasy Tip: Brady ($7,777, 15.55% of cap) will be fine for the big game, and this shouldn't influence your decision to select him for your FantasyScore lineup this Sunday.
