Logs one appearance this season Asiasi suited up for just one regular-season game in 2021, logging just 12 snaps and zero targets.
Impact The 2020 third-rounder's lone appearance corresponded with the one-game absence of fellow tight end Jonnu Smith. Asiasi is signed with the Patriots through the 2023 season, as is Dalton Keene, who was also a third round choice in 2020. However, neither of the two pass catchers will be on the fantasy radar as long as Smith and Hunter Henry are healthy and available.

Impact Asiasi's return coincides with fellow 2020 draft pick Dalton Keene shifting to injured reserve with a knee injury. The offseason signings of Hunter Henry and Jonnu Smith have essentially assured Asiasi will be primarily a special teams asset this season provided the expensive duo stays healthy.

Solid effort in OTAs Asiasi, who caught just two passes in nine games as a rookie last season, "quietly put together a solid spring," according to Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.
Impact That said, the 2020 third-rounder sits no higher than third on the Patriots' tight end depth chart following the team's offseason additions of Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry in free agency. Asiasi thus profiles as a depth option as the coming season approaches and is off the fantasy radar as long as Smith and Henry are available. Also in the team's TE mix behind the top duo are Dalton Keene, Matt LaCosse and Troy Fumagalli.

Hidden Patriots: Devin Asiasi Had Promising End To Rookie Season Patriots tight end Devin Asiasi should be in line for a much better 2021 season after struggling as a rookie third-round pick.
FEBRUARY 18, 2021 • NESN.COM
Limited production as rookie Asiasi finished the 2020 season with two catches on seven targets for 39 yards yards and a TD in nine games.
Impact Meanwhile, fellow rookie tight end Dalton Keene caught three passes for 16 yards in six contests. It was hardly the production the Patriots were looking for when using a pair of third-round draft picks to secure the duo, but both players do possess some long-term upside. It's a bit early to assess Asiasi's 2021 fantasy prospects, however, with personnel changes in the team's offense likely on tap this offseason, both at TE and QB.

Sees 47 snaps on offense Asiasi was on the field for 47 of the Patriots' 50 snaps on offense in Monday night's 38-9 loss to the Bills.
Impact Despite the season high in playing time, Asiasi was targeted just twice and didn't record a catch Monday. With the 2020 third-rounder still looking for his first NFL catch, Asiasi remains off the fantasy radar heading into Week 17.

23 snaps in return to action Asiasi logged 23 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-3 loss to the Rams.
Impact Meanwhile, fellow rookie tight end Dalton Keene was out there for 31 snaps, but neither player caught a pass Thursday. With Ryan Izzo (hamstring/hand/neck) on IR and Jordan Thomas having been a healthy scratch in Week 14, both Asiasi (who saw one target versus the Rams) and Keene could be incorporated more in the Patriots offense down the stretch. Until that happens, however, nether player merits fantasy consideration.

Comes off IR Asiasi (undisclosed) has been activated off IR in advance of Thursday night's game against the Rams, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Meanwhile, Ryan Izzo (hamstring/hand/neck) was placed on IR, leaving Asiasi, Dalton Keene and Jordan Thomas as the Patriots' available tight ends Week 14. Though Asiasi has some long-term potential, he has yet to record a catch through his first five games as a pro and therefore has much to prove before he can be considered for fantasy lineups.
