Brian Hoyer Fantasy

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer drew the start under center versus the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. The Pats were without Cam Newton and it hurt them significantly in this one. Hoyer completed 15 of 24 passes for 130 yards and one interception in the loss. He was benched in the final quarter for Jarrett Stidham. It's unclear which one of them is drawing the start versus the Denver Broncos in Week 5. Regardless, both of them can be avoided in basically all formats.

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer was tough to watch during his spot start against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 4. He completed 15 of 24 passing attempts for 130 yards and zero touchdowns with one interception. There was really nothing positive to take out of Hoyer's performance here. He was benched in the final quarter and it's unlikely that he gets another start in New England. There is no reason to roster Hoyer in fantasy formats going forward.

The New England Patriots are expected to start veteran quarterback Brian Hoyer whenever they play the Chiefs, according to sources. Cam Newton tested positive for COVID-19 and has been ruled out against Kansas City. The NFL is currently planning to move the Week 4 game from Sunday to either Monday or Tuesday, but that's not exactly set in stone just yet. With Newton potentially out for more than just one game, Hoyer could be tasked with making multiple starts for the Patriots with Newton in quarantine. The 34-year-old veteran has plenty of experience with the Patriots offense, but he'll be a step down from Newton all around. In a game in which the Pats will likely need to throw a lot against KC, Hoyer will be a low-end QB2 streamer in superflex leagues.
