Mack Hollins a Solid Addition with Large Opportunity Share, High Air Yards Total

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins continues to establish himself as a potential waiver wire option in deeper leagues ahead of Week 16 against the Baltimore Ravens. Hollins has been heavily involved in the Patriots' offense, averaging six targets and 9.2 full-PPR fantasy points over his last seven contests. During that span, he ranks as the overall WR40. He has also played at least three-quarters of the offensive snaps in each of his last five games. The veteran receiver is coming off an impressive, high-volume contest against his old team, the Buffalo Bills, in which he converted eight targets into four catches for 41 yards. During that Week 15 contest, he totaled 136 air yards, which ranked eighth-most among all NFL wideouts. Quarterback Drake Maye trusts Hollins as one of his most reliable receivers on the perimeter, which bodes well for his Week 16 outlook. The Ravens have allowed the 11th-most fantasy points to wide receivers in 2025, as well as the 14th-most fantasy points to wide receivers who play on the perimeter. Hollins isn't the flashiest name, but his consistency, reliability, and high involvement make him a solid WR3/flex play for Week 16.

TreVeyon Henderson Keeps Impressing in Patriots Backfield

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson had arguably his best performance of the season last week in the loss to the Buffalo Bills. Henderson rushed the ball 14 times for 148 yards and scored two touchdowns versus Buffalo. The rookie back put the league on notice when he took over as the lead RB when Rhamondre Stevenson missed three games earlier in the season. Since Stevenson returned, the two backs have been splitting the workload in the backfield. Henderson has been the much more productive option with 60 rushing yards or more in each of his last five games. The expectation is that Henderson will continue to be fed the ball often because of his explosive playmaking abilities. He'll have RB1 upside against the Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 16.

DeMario Douglas Continues to Fade in Patriots Offense

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas continued to disappoint coming out of the team's Week 14 bye, playing only 19% of the offensive snaps while not being targeted at all in the passing game for the second time this year in the 35-31 loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. The only action that Douglas saw on offense was one rushing attempt that went for five yards. The 25-year-old pass-catcher's 10 snaps were his second-fewest on the season. Douglas continues to take a back seat in the WR room to Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kayshon Boutte, making him very hard to trust for fantasy football purposes, especially in the fantasy playoffs. The former sixth-rounder in 2023 out of Liberty hasn't topped three catches or 37 receiving yards since his only 100-yard performance of the year on Nov. 2 against the Falcons.

Kayshon Boutte • WR • Patriots

Kayshon Boutte Makes for Interesting Deep-League Option

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte was unproductive during Sunday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, tying his season low with one target in the defeat. The third-year wideout has hit a slump over the last few weeks. Boutte hasn't surpassed 35 receiving yards in a game since Week 8. The good news is that Boutte is heading into a plus matchup against the Baltimore Ravens defense in Week 16. The expectation is that the Patriots should have more success passing the ball in that one. Boutte isn't a high-end streaming option, but he should offer deep-league appeal in a flex spot. He has hauled in six touchdowns and is one of the better red-zone threats in this offense. Fantasy managers should expect a bounce-back outing from the 23-year-old this weekend.

TreVeyon Henderson Totals Over 150 Yards and Two Scores in Sunday's Loss

New England Patriots rookie running back TreVeyon Henderson totaled over 150 yards from scrimmage with two touchdowns during their loss to the Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. On the ground, the second-round pick out of Ohio State took 14 attempts for 148 yards and two scores. Both of his touchdowns came on long rushes for 52 yards and 65 yards, respectively. Through the air, Henderson brought in two of his three targets for an additional 13 yards. Even though Henderson ceded six carries and three targets to Rhamondre Stevenson, Henderson still operated as the lead back and flashed much higher upside. Managers should continue to view the rookie as a high-end must-start RB2 in all formats, even if he continues to share opportunities with Stevenson, ahead of a tilt against the Ravens in Week 16

Terrell Jennings Lands on Injured Reserve Ahead of Week 15

New England Patriots running back Terrell Jennings (concussion) has been placed on injured reserve and will miss the final four games of the regular season, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rapoport adds that the Patriots expect Jennings to return for the team's playoff run. Jennings impressed while sharing touches with TreVeyon Henderson for a small stretch of games earlier this season, but he fell back to the No. 3 spot on the depth chart when Rhamondre Stevenson returned to action in Week 13. The 24-year-old has been a solid depth option within this backfield, amassing 73 rushing yards, nine receiving yards, and one touchdown through seven games. New England lacks reliable backfield depth behind Henderson and Stevenson now that Jennings, Antonio Gibson (knee), Deneric Prince (undisclosed), and Craig Reynolds (undisclosed) are all sidelined for extended periods of time. The Patriots will likely elevate D'Ernest Johnson from the practice squad to replace Jennings for Week 15.

Andy Borregales Surging Into Pivotal Week 15 Fantasy Matchup

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales has been a spectacular fantasy option lately, and he's surging at just the right time as managers prepare for the opening round of the fantasy playoffs in most leagues. The rookie has gone 10-for-12 on field goals and 8-for-8 on extra points over his last three games. While he has missed a kick in two of those three contests, his high volume of field-goal attempts has made up for a slight reduction in overall accuracy. With that being said, Borregales' matchup this week is on the tougher side, as Buffalo has allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. He could also deal with uncertain weather; there's expected to be snow tapering off shortly after kickoff, along with cold temperatures. On a positive note, Sunday's game isn't expected to feature much wind. Borregales' floor may be a little lower than in past weeks, but he still has high upside. As a result, he ranks as the #11 kicker in this week's RotoBaller fantasy football rankings. He can be started in most leagues, especially as New England's offense continues to get into scoring range quite often.

Hunter Henry a Riskier Play Against Strong Defense in Week 15

New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry has been playing well lately, catching 15 passes for 233 yards and one touchdown over his last three games. However, he'll face a very tough test in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. The Bills have allowed the fewest fantasy points to tight ends in 2025, as well as the fewest catches, the fewest receiving touchdowns, and the second-fewest receiving yards. In his last game against the Bills, Henry was held to just two catches for 46 yards. Not only does Henry have an extremely challenging matchup on tap, but he'll also lose key opportunities as New England continues to do a good job spreading the ball around. TreVeyon Henderson, Rhamondre Stevenson, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins, and Kayhson Boutte should all compete for sizable volume in Week 15, making it tougher for Henry to overcome this difficult matchup. He ranks as the overall TE13 in the latest RotoBaller rankings, and he has an even lower floor. He should be benched in fantasy leagues with 12 or fewer teams.

Mack Hollins Remains Steady Contributor Heading Into Week 15

New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins remains a steady depth contributor ahead of Sunday's Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. Hollins continues to be a dependable target for Drake Maye and has made numerous big plays to move the chains or advance the ball downfield this season. He capitalized on increased opportunities when Kayshon Boutte missed time with a hamstring injury, and he has maintained a pretty consistent role ever since then. The 32-year-old has played at least 75% of the snaps in each of his last four contests, averaging 6.3 targets, 3.8 catches, and 55.8 yards per game during that span. Although he's third on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and Kayshon Boutte, Hollins could carve out low-end flex value in fantasy leagues with at least 14 teams this week. He's a fine streamer for managers looking to replace injured receivers in Week 15. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR72 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

Kyle Williams • WR • Patriots

Kyle Williams Stuck Trying to Capitalize on Limited Opportunities

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams has struggled to emerge as a consistent fantasy threat in his first NFL campaign. He does have two touchdowns over his last four games, but he also has just three catches during that span and only five catches this entire season. With Kayshon Boutte healthy again, Williams has returned to a depth role. He played just 22% of the offensive snaps in New England's last game and is likely headed for a similar snap share in Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. Williams is a talented receiver who has shown that he is capable of making big plays, but in order to do so, he'll have to capitalize on limited playing time. The odds of Williams carving out a fantasy-relevant role are slim, so he should remain on waivers in all redraft leagues. He can be stashed on the bench in dynasty formats. As it stands, Williams ranks as the WR91 in RotoBaller's fantasy football rankings for this week.

Kayshon Boutte Not a Reliable Fantasy Starter for Key Divisional Game

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte continues to handle a large volume of snaps, but it has resulted in inconsistent production thus far. He has six games with single-digit fantasy points in PPR leagues, and five games with double-digit points. His results have been somewhat unpredictable, but he faces an uphill battle to produce in Week 15 against a solid Buffalo Bills defense. The Bills have allowed the sixth-fewest fantasy points to perimeter wide receivers in 2025, which limits Boutte's fantasy upside since he has played more than 90% of his snaps out wide. In his last outing against the Bills, he was held to a modest three catches for 43 yards. The 23-year-old is headed for a tough matchup this week and could quite possibly be outperformed by both Stefon Diggs and Hunter Henry in the passing game. As a result, Boutte is the overall WR40 in this week's RotoBaller fantasy rankings, which means that he can be benched in most formats.

Stefon Diggs • WR • Patriots

Stefon Diggs Has Another Great Opportunity to Get Revenge on Bills

New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is gearing up for another potential revenge game against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. When these two teams last faced each other in Week 5, Diggs exploded for his best game of the season, amassing 12 targets, 10 catches, and 146 receiving yards. The veteran receiver had an impressive stretch of performances near the middle of the season, but he came back down to earth over the last two weeks, totaling just five catches and zero touchdowns during that span while playing fewer than half of the offensive snaps. Despite recently failing to live up to his expectations, Diggs is still a very talented receiver who has repeatedly earned Drake Maye's trust. He has a strong chance to bounce back against his old team in Week 15. As it stands, he ranks as the overall WR21 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings.

Rhamondre Stevenson • RB • Patriots

Rhamondre Stevenson Carries Flex Value Into Bills Matchup

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was quiet in his first game back from injury, but in the following game, he returned to the lead-back role and delivered double-digit fantasy points (full-PPR). As long as he continues to handle at least 50% of the offensive snaps, Stevenson figures to remain a solid RB3/flex option for Week 15 against the Buffalo Bills. In his last outing, the 27-year-old played 58% of the snaps with 12 carries, 40 rushing yards, three receptions, and 40 receiving yards. Teammate TreVeyon Henderson played just 49% of the snaps, and while he was far more efficient on the ground, he mustered a lower total of 19 receiving yards. We expect Stevenson to carve out a sizable role in the passing game once again. Not only has he been a very solid pass-catcher this year, but his impressive pass-blocking skills will earn him additional snaps on passing downs. While Henderson has greater yardage and touchdown upside, Stevenson's ability to catch passes makes him a top-36 running back in half-PPR and full-PPR formats.

TreVeyon Henderson Gets Ready for Another Very Favorable Matchup

New England Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson's ascension into the lead-back role has come at the perfect time, as he continues to face off against a string of below-average run defenses. This week, Henderson's Patriots take on the Buffalo Bills, who have allowed the most rushing touchdowns, sixth-most rushing yards, and sixth-most fantasy points to opposing running backs in 2025. The rookie has fared quite well since replacing Rhamondre Stevenson atop the depth chart. Even in Stevenson's two games since returning from injury, Henderson has totaled 35 touches, 133 rushing yards, and 34 receiving yards. He has double-digit fantasy points (PPR) in each of his last five games, and against a Bills defense that has allowed 18 touchdowns this year, Henderson has a good shot at breaking his two-game streak without a trip to the end zone. He continues to rank as a low-end RB1 for Week 15 against Buffalo.

Drake Maye • QB • Patriots

Drake Maye Gets Another Opportunity Against Divisional Foe

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye played quite well during his last meeting against the Buffalo Bills, and he'll get another opportunity to face off against the division rival on Sunday in Week 15. Last time he faced the Bills, Maye completed 22 of his 30 pass attempts for 273 passing yards. He rushed for 12 yards and took four sacks. The former No. 3 pick played turnover-free football in that Week 5 contest, but he also was held without a touchdown for the first and only time this season. He should have more fantasy success this time around while also keeping New England in a competitive battle against the Bills. Buffalo's defense has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2025, and they allowed Joe Burrow to throw for 284 yards and four touchdowns last weekend. Maye remains in the mix as a high-end fantasy QB1 coming off his bye week.

TreVeyon Henderson a Strong Play in Week 15 Despite Losing Volume

New England Patriots rookie running back out of Ohio State, TreVeyon Henderson, has been seeing his workload decrease since the return of Rhamondre Stevenson from injury. However, he is earning significantly more work than he was earlier in the year, when Stevenson was playing a majority of the snaps in the first eight weeks of the season. The backfield has appeared to turn into a true running back by committee, with both playing roughly 50 percent of the snaps in Week 13 (Stevenson 58% and Henderson 49%). Regardless, they play the Buffalo Bills in Week 15, who allow the sixth most points to the running back position in fantasy, and Henderson should be expected to see 10-15 total touches, making him a strong RB2 play for the week. On the season, Henderson has 625 rushing yards (4.84 YPC), 199 receiving yards on 38 targets (32 receptions), and six total touchdowns (five on the ground and one through the air). He has been very explosive when given the opportunity, and when you combine the explosiveness with the good matchup, that makes him a solid play in Week 15.

Mack Hollins Continues to See Consistent Playing Time in New England

Across 13 games this season, New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has recorded 35 receptions for 440 yards and two touchdowns on 48 targets. While New England's egalitarian passing attack has limited the production of all of its pass-catchers, Hollins has been the team's most consistent wide receiver from a playing time perspective. The 32-year-old has played at least 75% of the Patriots' offensive snaps in each of his last four games. Across his last six outings, Hollins has hauled in 24 catches for 321 yards on 34 targets. His numbers don't jump off the page, and his upside is limited, but Hollins is attached to an elite quarterback in Drake Maye and has demonstrated a safe playing time floor. In the deepest fantasy leagues, Hollins could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into his Week 15 matchup against the Buffalo Bills.

Rhamondre Stevenson • RB • Patriots

Rhamondre Stevenson Still a Strong RB Option?

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson missed three weeks with a toe injury, allowing rookie TreVeyon Henderson to go off and become a fantasy star. Stevenson played two games before the team's bye week, though, and he still clearly has a significant role in the offense. In Week 13 against the Giants, he outsnapped Henderson 38-to-32, and he took 12 carries for 40 yards, while adding 40 more yards on three catches. Stevenson still seems to be the preferred short-yardage option, and he also showed he can be involved as a receiver. He'll be in about an even timeshare with Henderson coming back from the bye week in a solid matchup against the Bills. Both backs remain touchdown-dependent, but they have enough upside to be worth owning in all formats, since the Patriots have a fairly favorable schedule the rest of the season. While he doesn't have the home-run potential of Henderson, Stevenson is a nice waiver wire option if someone bailed on him too early in your league.

Rhamondre Stevenson • RB • Patriots

Rhamondre Stevenson Now in the Shadow of Rookie RB

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson was finally back to full speed during last week's win over the New York Giants. Stevenson missed three games due to a toe injury. During that time, rookie TreVeyon Henderson went wild with five touchdowns in three games. The rookie back has rushed for over 60 yards in five of his last six games. Henderson is playing so well that the Pats can't take the ball out of his hands. The expectation is that the two backs will split up the workload down the stretch of the season. Stevenson rushed for 40 yards on 12 attempts last week, while Henderson finished with 67 yards on 11 carries. The Patriots are on a bye this weekend, but the expectation is that Henderson will see a larger chunk of carries over the final four games. Fantasy managers should continue to hold Stevenson while lowering their expectations.

Kayshon Boutte • WR • Patriots

Kayshon Boutte a High-Upside Waiver Addition

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte scored his team-leading sixth touchdown of the season in Monday night's win over the New York Giants. Boutte has been an impactful player for New England in his third season, leading the league with 12.7 yards per target. When healthy, the 23-year-old has operated as one of the Patriots' starting wide receivers, leading their wide receiver group in route share (67.3%). Boutte isn't a major target-earner, but he's been an explosive playmaker for breakout quarterback Drake Maye. Boutte and the Patriots head into their Week 14 bye on a high note and will prepare for a big divisional matchup against the Buffalo Bills in Week 15. Boutte is a low-floor, high-ceiling player who could be worth adding off the waiver wire this week to have as a flex option for the rest of the season.
