Damiere Byrd Fantasy

New England Patriots wide receiver Damiere Byrd has been a regular at the throwing sessions with quarterbacks Jarrett Stidham and Brian Hoyer. Byrd was a free-agent pickup this offseason and has the speed to make some noise in 2020. The Patriots wide receiver corps finished last season as one of the slower groups in the NFL, so they could have some use for Byrd as a rotational piece behind Julian Edelman, N'Keal Harry and Mohamed Sanu. Byrd had just 32 catches in 11 games for the Cardinals in 2019, however, and he's unlikely to make much of a fantasy impact as a No. 4 receiver with questions at quarterback.

The New England Patriots are signing wide receiver Damiere Byrd to an undisclosed one-year deal on Tuesday, according to a source. Byrd secured 32 catches for 359 yards and one touchdown in 11 games played in Arizona last season. He has only 44 receptions for 488 yards and three touchdowns in his four seasons in the NFL. The Patriots lacked for aerial weapons last year outside of Julian Edelman, but Byrd will just be battling for playing time with N'Keal Harry and Jakobi Meyers behind Edelman and Mohamed Sanu. Plus, quarterback Tom Brady is leaving for the Buccaneers, so that's not good for Byrd. As of right now, Jarrett Stidham and Cody Kessler are the team's options at QB.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd had a season-high seven catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Week 17 finale against the Los Angeles Rams. He also lost a fumble, though. Byrd had a couple of productive games this year, but he wasn't able to find consistency to make him a fantasy option. Depending on what the Cardinals do in the offseason, he could elevate up the depth chart and possibly be worth a WR5 flyer in drafts.
