INJURIES

Anfernee Jennings - Still tending to injury Jennings (knee) was listed as limited on Monday's practice estimate.
Impact Jennings was limited early in the practice week leading up to Week 2's loss to the Seahawks. However, he ultimately suited up and compiled eight total tackles in the process. Unless he aggravated the injury, he'll likely be good to go for Thursday's matchup with the Jets, but his practice status over the next couple of days will likely be worth monitoring for assurance.

Oshane Ximines - Still injured based on estimate Ximines (knee) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Impact Ximines exited Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and was unable to return to the game. Although it's just an estimate, as the Patriots didn't hold a practice, it's still not a good sign for the Old Dominion product with the Patriots on a short week. Unless he's ruled out earlier, more clarity on Ximines status for Thursday against the Jets may not come until the team releases their inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Ja'Whaun Bentley - DNP on estimae Bentley (shoulder) was estimated as a non-participant on Monday's practice report.
Impact Bentley exited Sunday's loss to the Seahawks with the injury and was unable to return. According to a previous report by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, the Patriots are optimistic the veteran linebacker will be ready to suit up Thursday, so his estimated DNP on Monday may not be worth reading into. It's likely Bentley will be a game-time decision against the Jets.

NFL Week 2: Chiefs comfortable winning ugly; what we learned from every Sunday game
Austin Hooper - One catch against Seattle Hooper, who was on the field for 37 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught his only target for fiv...
Impact The Patriots ran a fair amount of two-TE sets Sunday, but Hunter Henry (57 snaps, eight catches) was QB Jacoby Brissett's featured target in Week 2. As long as Henry remains available, Hooper's fantasy upside will remain modest.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
JaMycal Hasty - One carry Sunday Hasty was on the field for three of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Hasty, who also logged 10 special-teams snaps, carried once for two yards in the contest. He's off the fantasy radar as long as Rhamondre Stevenson and Antonio Gibson remain healthy.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Tyquan Thornton - No targets in Week 2 Thornton logged 31 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Thornton, who was out-snapped by K.J. Osborn (51 snaps), Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) and DeMario Douglas (38 snaps), was not targeted in the contest. As Thursday night's game against the Jets approaches, the 2022 second-rounder is only a lineup option in the deepest of formats.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
DeMario Douglas - Not targeted Sunday Douglas, who logged 38 of 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, was not targeted in the contest.
Impact Douglas' quiet Week 2 effort occurred in a game in which just five of QB Jacoby Brissett's 27 passing attempts went to wide receivers, with Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) seeing three targets and K.J. Osborn (51 snaps) logging two, per Zack Cox of the Boston Herald. Afterward, coach Jerod Mayo acknowledged that getting Douglas more involved needs to be a priority for the Patriots ahead of Thursday's game against the Jets, noting "we have to get him going. We have to scheme up some things for him. He's one of our most explosive players, and that's on us as coaches to put it together." However, until such an approach results in added targets for Douglas, the 2023 sixth-rounder will be a hit-or-miss lineup option.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
Ja'Whaun Bentley - Could play Thursday night The Patriots are optimistic that Bentley (shoulder) will play in Thursday night's contest against the Jets, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Bentley sustained a shoulder injury during the first quarter of the Patriots' Week 2 loss and didn't return. However, it now appears that the 28-year-old's injury isn't serious, and he could very well play Thursday night. Bentley's return would be significant for the Patriots' divisional matchup with the Jets in Week 3, as he racked up 12 total tackles, including 0.5 sacks, during New England's Week 1 upset over the Bengals.
SEPTEMBER 16 • ROTOWIRE
K.J. Osborn - One catch versus Seattle Osborn, who was on the field for 51 of the Patriots' 68 snaps on offense in Sunday's overtime 23-20 loss to the Seahawks, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, caught one of his two targets...
Impact Osborn and Ja'Lynn Polk (41 snaps) started at wide receiver for the Patriots in Week 2, while DeMario Douglas (38 snaps) and Tyquan Thornton (31 snaps) were also in the mix. Going forward, there will be weeks in which Osborn and his fellow WRs will be more involved, but against the Seahawks at least, New England's offense was pace by the run game, with tight end Hunter Henry (eight catches on 12 targets) serving as QB Jacoby Brissett's top target.

NFL Week 2 highlights: Texans, Chiefs get big wins while 49ers, Cowboys suffer upsets

NFL Week 2 highlights: Texans, Chiefs get big wins while 49ers, Cowboys suffer upsets
Ja'Lynn Polk - First career touchdown Polk recorded two receptions on three targets for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks. He also recorded one career for zero yards.
Impact The Patriots reportedly wanted to get Polk more involved in the offense in his second career game and that looked to be the case early on. His first catch was also his first career touchdown and came from five yards away on New England's second offensive possession. However, he didn't make another reception until 49 seconds were remaining in the fourth quarter. So long as the Patriots keep the rushing attack as the focal point of their offense, it's unlikely that Polk will emerge as a reliable fantasy contributor.

Hunter Henry - Tops 100 yards Henry recorded eight receptions on 12 targets for 109 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks.
Impact Henry was the clear favorite target for Jacoby Brissett, as no other player was targeted more than five times nor surpassed 12 yards. He worked primarily in the short areas of the field but did rack up yards after the catch to tally long gains of 35 and 17 yards. The Patriots have played conservatively on offense through two games, so it may be difficult for Henry to replicate this performance regularly.

Antonio Gibson - Effective as rusher in Week 2 Gibson rushed the ball 11 times for 96 yards in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks. He added one reception on one target for seven yards.
Impact When Gibson landed with New England this offseason, it was expected that he would serve as the team's primary pass catcher out of the backfield. Through two games, he has only one reception, but he has made his mark as a rusher. On Sunday, his highlight reel play came midway through the fourth quarter when he evaded penetration in the backfield and broke free for a 45-yard run -- the Patriots' longest play from scrimmage on the day. Rhamondre Stevenson is still the clear lead back in New England, but Gibson has proven to be a key piece of the offense early on.

Jacoby Brissett - Leads offense effectively Brissett completed 15 of 27 passes for 149 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Seahawks. He added two rushes for six yards.
Impact The Patriots have relied upon Rhamondre Stevenson heavily in the first two games, limiting Brissett to a combined 51 attempts. Brissett was effective when called upon Sunday, however, and showed strong rapport with Hunter Henry in the short areas of the field. He also recorded his first touchdown of the season on a five-yard connection with Ja'Lynn Polk. Due to limited volume and a conservative game plan, Brissett isn't well-suited for fantasy production, but he's proven capable of running a competent offense early in the campaign.

Rhamondre Stevenson - Significant workload in Week 2 loss Stevenson rushed the ball 21 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Patriots. He added two receptions on five targets for nine yards.
Impact The Patriots remained run heavy, and Stevenson topped 20 carries for the second straight game to begin the season. He couldn't replicate his efficiency from Week 1, but he did punch in a one-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter and had two rushes that went for more than 10 yards. Stevenson has struggled to produce as a receiver and should be projected to lose work in that area to Antonio Gibson, though he has still racked up eight targets through two contests. He appears to be comfortably locked in as New England's lead back.
