Brian Hoyer Fantasy

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer completed 12-of-14 passes for 147 yards and two touchdown passes in the Patriots 31-3 preseason win over the Lions. The Patriots was sharp out of the chute, delivering two second-half touchdowns to ice the game. If Hoyer sees the field this season, then the entire Patriots offense will be in fantasy flux. But the capable veteran can still move the chains and will see plenty more exhibition snaps.

New England Patriots backup quarterback Brian Hoyer is preparing to pitch in for the AFC title game against the Jaguars with Tom Brady (hand) nursing a hand injury, although a source said Brady's hand "should be OK" for Sunday. Hoyer took all the practice repetitions in practice Thursday with Brady sitting out. It'd be a huge shock if Brady isn't under center against the Jaguars. His jammed hand isn't believed to be serious, although he probably won't be able to pick apart the Jacksonville secondary like he did to the Titans in the Divisional Round.

Updating a previous report, former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brian Hoyer will sign a three-year deal with the New England Patriots on Wednesday, according to a source informed of the contract. Hoyer became expendable in San Fran when the team traded for Jimmy Garoppolo earlier this week. He will serve as Tom Brady's backup in New England and won't have any fantasy value.
