QUARTERBACKS

Drake Maye411.7251.1277914.4111.1252.9224.82.65184.94
Jacoby Brissett137.287.8905.54.392.214.859.20.8560.4

Drake Maye: The Patriots drafted Maye third overall, and it's obvious he's the team's quarterback of the future. But will that future begin in Week 1? Currently, I project Jacoby Brissett to make roughly a quarter of the team's starts. With one of the league's least dynamic receiving corps, the passing numbers will likely be modest whether he starts Week 1 or takes over later in the year. Even so, his mobility and rushing upside could make him a viable streaming option.

Jacoby Brissett: Back with the team that drafted him in 2016, Brissett will play for his fifth team in five seasons. Across 48 career starts, Brissett has averaged only 208.2 passing yards and one passing touchdown per game. He lacks fantasy upside, even if he begins the year as the starter.

RUNNING BACKS

Rhamondre Stevenson: New England had one of the league's worst offenses — 30th in total offense, 29th in yards per play and 31st in scoring offense — in 2023, and now they will most likely give most of their snaps to a rookie quarterback. The situation limits his ceiling, but Stevenson is a solid RB2 in fantasy. He's two years removed from a 1,461-yard and 69-reception season.

Antonio Gibson: While he exceeded 1,000 scrimmage yards and scored double-digit touchdowns in each of his first two seasons, Gibson set career lows in touches (113), scrimmage yards (654) and touchdowns (three) in 2023. On a positive note, he gets a fresh start in New England.

K.J. Osborn6.477.40.500013.94
Jalen Reagor2.227.60.10004.46

Demario Douglas: Although he failed to score a touchdown, Douglas had 49 catches for 561 yards as a late-round rookie (210th overall) last season. Douglas had at least five targets in his final nine games, and he averaged 4.3 catches for 46.4 yards on 6.9 targets per game over that stretch.

Ja'Lynn Polk: Polk doesn't have the elite long-term upside of his former Washington Huskies teammate Rome Odunze (92/1,640/13), but he has excellent ball skills and body control and was highly productive in his final collegiate season (69/1,159/9). The Patriots used a high second-round pick (37th overall) on Polk, and he has the potential to lead the team's receiving corps in fantasy production.

TIGHT ENDS

Mitchell Wilcox1.716.60.20003.71

Hunter Henry: Through three seasons in New England, Henry has finished with 41 to 50 catches, 419 to 603 yards, and two to nine touchdowns. Henry's primary fantasy success will be tied to his TD production — will the number be closer to the two or nine ends of that range?
