A.J. Brown (ankle) done for the day vs. Seahawks

A.J. Brown

NE Wide Receiver #1

Player Stats

A.J. Brown suffered an ankle injury in Week 1 against the Seahawks and will not return.

A Seattle defender landed on Brown’s leg in the third quarter and the former Eagle clutched at his ankle as soon as he hit the ground. Brown eventually made his way off the field and limped to the locker room. He was listed as questionable for roughly a quarter, but the team has now ruled him out. The immediate worry will be that Brown suffered a dreaded high ankle sprain. That would sideline him for multiple weeks, though it’s too early to say much about the injury. Mack Hollins, Romeo Doubs, and Demario Douglas will all see some extra routes sans Brown.

Mack Hollins

NE Wide Receiver #13

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Mack Hollins (calf) did not practice Wednesday.

Hollins injured his calf in Week 4 and was listed as questionable to return. He immediately went to the locker room and did not return. Hollins is unlikely to play in Week 5. Romeo Doubs finally broke out last week with six catches for 58 yards and two scores. He will be in line for another sizable role once Hollins is ruled out. Kyle Williams will take on a starting role, though he is only worth a stash in deeper fantasy formats.
Mack Hollins

NE Wide Receiver #13

Speaking Monday, Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel did not have an update on Mack Hollins’ calf injury.

Vrabel said he’ll have more information on Hollins shortly, but added that Hollins may miss a few days of practice. Hollins exited Week 4’s game against the Bills with a non-contact injury, leaving the field with a 3-53-0 line on four targerts. Hollins has seen 13 targets over the last two weeks while running the third-most routes (45) of any receiver. We’ll likely know more about the severity of his injury soon, but he could be at risk of missing Week 5’s game against the Raiders.
Romeo Doubs

NE Wide Receiver #87

Romeo Doubs caught 6-of-9 targets for 58 yards and two touchdowns in the Patriots’ Week 4 win over the Bills.

Doubs simply beat Bills cornerback Maxwell Hairston all game long. He seemed to be open at will and almost had a bigger day when he failed to haul in a 40+ yard pass that went off his hands on a diving attempt in the fourth quarter. With Mack Hollins (calf) getting hurt in the first half, Doubs played on 47 of the team’s 70 snaps and ran a route on 30 of their 43 dropbacks, the most of any receiver on the team. It seems that Doubs is finally starting to click with Drake Maye, and now that Hollins is out and A.J. Brown (ankle) is still not ready to come back, Doubs could be in for a big role against the Raiders next week.
Mack Hollins

NE Wide Receiver #13

Mack Hollins is questionable to return with a calf injury

Hollins went down when he cut to the sideline on an out route. He had to hobble off the field and was immediately taken into the locker room. The Patriots have not ruled him out yet, but we’d be surprised if he returned today. Romeo Doubs should continue to see the vast majority of targets. Hollins had 53 yards receiving on 3-of-4 targets before getting hurt.
A.J. Brown

NE Wide Receiver #1

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports “the hope is” that A.J. Brown (ankle) plays in Week 6.

Garfolo made it clear that this is what the team hopes will happen, but it’s far from a sure thing. Week 6 is the first week Brown is eligible to return from injured reserve. The Pats placed him on IR after he suffered a high-ankle sprain in Week 1. Previous reports had Brown out for 6-8 weeks, so fantasy managers should be skeptical that he will be back for Week 6, but it’s at least on the table.
DeMario Douglas

NE Wide Receiver #3

DeMario Douglas caught 1-of-5 targets for 38 yards in the Patriots’ Week 3 loss to the Jaguars.

Douglas was second on the team in targets behind only Mack Hollins, who saw nine looks from Drake Maye. Douglas got open and made a nice grab for his 38-yard gain — one of the only big plays for the struggling New England offense on Sunday. Though Douglas is playing a decent snap share, he should remain on waivers in most formats ahead of the Patriots’ Week 4 game against Buffalo.
Mack Hollins

NE Wide Receiver #13

Mack Hollins caught 6-of-9 targets for 87 yards in the Patriots’ Week 3 loss to the Jaguars.

Hollins looked the part of Drake Maye’s top option against Jacksonville, dominating air yards and easily leading all pass catchers in targets. Hollins manhandled much smaller Jaguars defensive backs throughout the game and nearly came down with a long play that would have put him over 100 yards on the day. Hollins, who had just two grabs last week against the Steelers, could have some flex viability in Week 4 against the Bills, especially if Maye and the Pats are once again chasing points in the second half.
Romeo Doubs

NE Wide Receiver #87

Romeo Doubs caught 3-of-4 targets for 49 yards in the Patriots’ Week 3 loss to the Jaguars.

Doubs was again an every-down player and finished second behind Mack Hollins in receiving yards. Doubs continues to be an afterthought in the New England offense, even with A.J. Brown out with a severe ankle injury. Through three games Doubs now has just six catches in the low-wattage Pats offense. He’ll be a deep league option in Week 4 against the Bills.
A.J. Brown

NE Wide Receiver #1

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports A.J. Brown (ankle) is expected to miss 6-8 weeks.

Schefter and other reporters previously called it a 4-6 week injury, which now seems unlikely. Schefter did add that Brown is moving “pretty well” and could come back on the faster side of his updated timeline. Still, it looks like Brown will miss at least half of the regular season. Romeo Doubs will operate as the team’s No. 1 receiver until he returns, though it will likely be a group effort to replace Browns’ production. Mack Hollins and Demario Douglas will also be more involved.
DeMario Douglas

NE Wide Receiver #3

DeMario Douglas caught 1-of-2 targets for nine yards in the Patriots’ Week 2 win over the Steelers.

Douglas made the first catch of the game for the Patriots, but was silent the rest of the day. The 25-year-old is a low-yardage slot receiver who tends to get schemed targets when he is on the field. Douglas tallied the third-most snaps of all Patriots wide receivers on the day but will find it hard to achieve fantasy relevancy in an offense that utilizes multiple receivers in several different ways. Second-year receiver Kyle Williams also saw a pair of targets, catching one for 10 yards. Neither Williams or Douglas are anything more than deep league dart throws for Week 3 against the Jaguars.

Tank Dell (knee) was limited on Wednesday.

It is unclear when Dell will take the field on game day, but he is officially participating in his 21-day practice window. His range of potential outcomes is quite wide. Stashing him on fantasy benches is a reasonable move at this time, though he is not guaranteed to be a fantasy contributor.

Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said Jeremiyah Love’s ankle injury “shouldn’t impact” him for Week 5 against the Lions.

Love will presumably have his practice reps monitored, but he isn’t at risk of missing Week 5. He went down with a new ankle injury late in the second quarter of Week 4. Love played sparingly in the second half but denied getting injured at all after the game. It sounds like it’s not a major issue, but it’s hard to feel confident in him handling a heavy workload after how things unfolded last week. He is tumbling back into the RB3 ranks for his upcoming game against the Lions.

Zay Flowers (foot) was limited on Wednesday.

Flowers was not present during the portion of practice open to the media earlier today, though it was assumed that this was a maintenance issue relating to his multi-week hamstring strain. It turns out Flowers is dealing with a new injury. It is unclear when the injury occurred. If it was an in-game issue last week, then beginning Week 5 with a limited practice is a great sign for his availability. Stay tuned.

Cade Mays

DET Center #64
Player Stats

Lions activated C Cade Mays’ (wrist) 21-day practice window.

This is a big deal for fantasy purposes. The Lions signed Mays to a three-year, $25 million contract this offseason, shoring up their center position with a reliable prime-age starter. Mays injured his wrist early in August, so he has not yet taken the field on game day with his new team. The Lions’ permissive defense continues to put the offense into pass-heavy game scripts. Getting Mays back on the field will fortify Jared Goff’s protection. He was limited on Wednesday.

Ashton Dulin (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.

Dulin made his 2026 debut in Week 4 after missing the first three games of the year with an ankle injury. He’s now at risk of returning to the bench because of this hamstring injury. With Keenan Allen back at practice, Dulin’s role was going to decline either way. Laquon Treadwell would be the team’s No. 3 receiver if he is ruled out for Week 5.
