Christian Elliss - Pats' leading tackler in win Elliss recorded nine tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defensed during Sunday's 25-22 win versus the Jets.
Impact Elliss's sack came on a blitz up the middle on a third down early in the fourth quarter to force an unsuccessful Jets field-goal attempt. With another solid start, he's put himself on the IDP map going into a Week 9 matchup at Tennessee.

Austin Hooper - Three catches Sunday Hooper, who per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com was on the field for 32 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, caught three of his four targets for 15 yards.
Impact Fellow tight end Hunter Henry (57 snaps) caught five of his six targets Sunday for 45 yards. As long Henry remains available, Hooper is only an option in the deepest of fantasy formats.

Tyquan Thornton - Two catches versus Jets Thornton caught two of his three targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Impact Ja'Lynn Polk was out Sunday due to a concussion, so Thornton returned from two straight healthy scratches to log 12 of a possible 67 snaps on offense, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. As long as Thornton continues to work behind DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, however, the 2022 second-rounder will remain off the fantasy radar in all but the deepest of formats.

As long as the 2022 second-rounder continues to work behind DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne, however, he'll remain off the fantasy lineup radar in all but the deepest of formats.

Kendrick Bourne - No catches in Week 8 Bourne logged 52 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Though Bourne's snap count was his highest since being activated from the PUP list in advance of Week 5 action, he didn't catch any of his three targets Sunday. Regardless of who starts at QB for the Patriots in Week 9 against the Titans, Bourne isn't an enticing fantasy option after managing just a 4-29-0 receiving line on eight targets through his first four outings this season.

Kayshon Boutte - Three catches Sunday Boutte was on the field for 55 of a possible 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, catching three of his six targets for 46 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports...
Impact For the third straight game, Boutte led the Patriots' wideouts in snaps, and in the process the 2023 sixth-rounder tied TE Hunter Henry with a team-high six targets in Week 8. Given that he's earned steady playing time of late, Boutte could be worth a look in deeper leagues, but so far he's topped out at three catches and 59 yards in a single game.

JaMycal Hasty - No snaps on offense Sunday Hasty didn't record any snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hasty, who had two carries for minus-2 yards and caught all five of his targets for 49 yards and a TD in the Patriots' Week 7 loss to the Jaguars, did record eight special teams snaps Sunday, but he wasn't part of the team's game plan on offense versus New York. Given that he's clearly behind Rhamondre Stevenson (54 snaps) and Antonio Gibson (13 snaps) in the RB pecking order, Hasty is off the fantasy radar for now.

Week 8 of the NFL season continued on Sunday. Here are the top plays of the day from start to finish.

NFL Week 8 highlights: Packers, Commanders get walk-off wins; 49ers hold off Cowboys

Bills are legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and what else we learned in Week 8

FOX Sports' NFL experts pinpoint what we learned about each team from Sunday's games and what that means going forward.

Bills are legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and what else we learned in Week 8
Antonio Gibson - Five carries in backup role Gibson rushed five times for six yards and wasn't targeted in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Impact Gibson was used in a backup role while Rhamondre Stevenson rumbled for two touchdowns on 20 carries. Stevenson even got all three of the targets among New England's running backs. Even in a favorable matchup against the reeling Titans, Gibson will be tough to trust in Week 9 with a healthy Stevenson occupying a workhorse role.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
DeMario Douglas - Stays quiet with two catches Douglas caught two of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Impact Douglas finished sixth on the team in receiving yards while no Patriots player had more than 46 receiving yards or a touchdown through the air. The slot receiver will likely be catching passes from Jacoby Brissett in Week 9 against the Titans, as Drake Maye entered the concussion protocol in the first half of Sunday's win.
OCTOBER 27 • ROTOWIRE
Hunter Henry - Five catches as Maye concussed Henry caught five of six targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets.
Impact Henry had a would-be 39-yard catch from Brissett wiped out by a holding penalty in the third quarter, but he still finished just one receiving yard shy of Kayshon Boutte's team-leading total. All three of New England's touchdowns came on the ground, as the passing game took a back seat after Drake Maye's (concussion) first-half exit. Henry's ceiling will be lower in Week 9 against the Titans if Jacoby Brissett starts at quarterback rather than Maye.

Jacoby Brissett - Leads comeback win in relief Brissett completed 15 of 24 passes for 132 yards, without a touchdown or interception, after replacing Drake Maye (concussion) in the first half of Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets...
Impact Brissett led the Patriots to an upset win with a pair of second-half touchdown drives, both of which were capped by Rhamondre Stevenson touchdown runs. The veteran quarterback threw a two-point conversion to Stevenson after the running back's second rushing score, which came with 22 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter. Brissett started New England's first five games but has only two touchdown passes this season, so he won't be an appealing fantasy option if Maye's unable to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol before the Patriots head to Tennessee for a Week 9 matchup that could have significant implications near the top of the 2025 NFL Draft.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Two rushing TDs in Week 8 win Stevenson rushed 20 times for 48 yards and two touchdowns while catching all three of his targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 25-22 win over the Jets. He also caught a successful two-...
Impact Stevenson scored a three-yard rushing touchdown in the third quarter, which he set up with a 14-yard catch on the preceding play. He added the game-winning score from one yard out with 22 seconds left in the fourth, with a two-point conversion through the air serving as the cherry on top of Stevenson's second touchdown run. Stevenson's averaging a middling 4.1 yards per carry but has five rushing touchdowns heading into a Week 9 road game against the 1-6 Titans. It remains to be seen if Jacoby Brissett or Drake Maye (concussion) -- who exited in the first half of Sunday's win -- will start at quarterback for the Patriots in Week 9.
