Jacoby Brissett Enters In Relief, Leads Patriots To Win

Sunday, October 27, 11:06 PM

New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett relieved rookie Drake Maye (head) during the second quarter of Sunday's game against the New York Jets. He finished the first half and was eventually declared the quarterback for the second half, too, after Maye was downgraded to out. Brissett finished Week 8 having completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, plus one sack and 11 rushing yards. He failed to score a touchdown, but more importantly, he played turnover-free football and led an efficient game-winning drive near the end of the fourth quarter. In the event that Maye enters concussion protocol and misses Week 9 against the Titans, Brissett would temporarily return to the starting quarterback role. He's still off the fantasy radar in most leagues.

DeMario Douglas Headed For Favorable Week 16 Matchup

Saturday, December 21, 12:09 AM

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas is an intriguing fantasy option ahead of his Week 16 matchup against the Buffalo Bills. While Douglas was held to just three catches for 11 yards (plus one touchdown) last Sunday, he has a promising chance to bounce back in Orchard Park this weekend. This optimism is rooted in the Bills' subpar performances against slot receivers this season. Buffalo has allowed the second-most fantasy points to receivers in the slot, which bodes well for Douglas, who has played 400 slot snaps this season (fifth-most in the NFL). Plus, with the Patriots expected to be playing from behind, there should be no shortage of targets for Douglas this week. He's not a touchdown or big-play threat, but his impressive volume and favorable matchup make him a fringe top-36 fantasy receiver in PPR leagues.
