Brian Hoyer Fantasy

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer (concussion) has been placed on the injured reserve. That means, Hoyer will miss at least the next four weeks of action. Mac Jones (ankle) is still banged up as well, so Bailey Zappe could be asked to start in Week 5. At this moment, it sounds like the Pats are leaning towards starting Zappe versus the Detroit Lions this week. That being said, fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option than Zappe for this upcoming week.

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer (head) won't return to Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The veteran started for Mac Jones (ankle) in Week 4. However, Hoyer didn't last long, accumulating only 37 yards off 5-for-6 passing before exiting the contest for a concussion evaluation. With Jones and Hoyer now dealing with injuries, 2022 fourth-round pick Bailey Zappe will handle things under center, potentially even starting in Week 5 against the visiting Detroit Lions.

New England Patriots quarterback Brian Hoyer will start Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers with starter Mac Jones (ankle) ruled out. Jones sustained a high-ankle sprain and will miss at least one game. Hoyer completed 9-for-11 passes for 227 yards and a touchdown over five games in 2021. The 36-year-old will be a game manager as the Patriots will heavily lean on the run with Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson. The Packers' defense ranks 20th in pass DVOA. Hoyer has a solid matchup, but his fantasy upside is capped and is mainly an option in deep-league superflex formats.
