Sony Michel Fantasy

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel carried the ball 14 times for 61 yards and added nine receiving yards in the team's 20-13 loss to the Titans in the Wild Card Round. Michel averaged 4.4 yards per carry but the Patriots offense, once again, sputtered when it mattered most. It has been a very disappointing season for the second-year running back but had been running with more conviction in the final weeks. Until the Patriots quarterback situation is solved, all of New England's offensive weapons will be tough to project in fantasy for 2020.

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel had a disappointing sophomore season for fantasy owners but will look to redeem himself in the playoffs starting on wild-card weekend against Tennessee. Michel only rushed for 912 yards this year on just 3.7 yards per carry but is trending upwards as the playoffs get underway. Michel out-touched fellow running back Rex Burkhead 60 to 24 over the last three weeks and was a monster in last year's Super Bowl run. James White will handle passing downs for New England, and it's always unpredictable what head coach Bill Belichick will do with his backfield in the postseason, but Michel should see close to 20 touches, making him a fine play against a very average Titans run defense.

New England Patriots running back Sony Michel racked up 74 rushing yards with one touchdown in the team's 27-24 loss to the Dolphins in Week 17. Michel popped up on the injury report late in the week with an illness but was able to suit up and produce. Michel led the team with 18 carries and now is averaging 4.4 yards per carry with 259 yards over his last three games. But it was too little too late in what should be considered a disappointing sophomore season. Michel finishes up the year with 912 rushing yards, 19 yards less than last season, despite his arrow pointing upwards heading into the playoffs.
