Matthew Judon

NE Linebacker #9

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Patriots EDGE Matthew Judon is out indefinitely with a biceps injury.

Judon is seeking a second opinion after being diagnosed with a lower bicep tendon tear in Sunday’s loss to the Cowboys. The veteran EDGE rusher will likely miss several weeks with the injury and could be a candidate for injured reserve. A leader of the Patriots’ defense since joining them as a free agent in 2021, Judon has four sacks and 13 tackles this season and has totaled 32 sacks over the last three seasons.
Christian Gonzalez

NE Defensive Back

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez is out indefinitely with a shoulder injury.

Gonzalez exited Week 4’s contest against the Cowboys with a shoulder injury and didn’t return to the game. We don’t yet know the exact nature of his injury or the severity of it, but according to Schefter, Gonzalez is seeking a second opinion on his injury. Gonzalez earned Defensive Player of the Month honors last weekend, and stood tall against stout group of receivers through his first three games. The loss of the promising young rookie is one of two blows the Patriots were dealt on Sunday, with Matthew Judon (biceps) also out indefinitely.
Matthew Judon

NE Linebacker #9

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Matthew Judon suffered a “lower bicep tendon tear” in Sunday’s Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

This was the fear for Judon when it was reported he was “being evaluated for a biceps tendon injury.” Judon went down in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s game and didn’t return to the field, but will undoubtedly be sidelined for some time. Per Schefter, the Patriots are still evaluating how much time Judon could miss. It wouldn’t be surprising to see Judon miss several weeks and possibly do a stint on injured reserve. However, we will know for sure soon.
DeVante Parker

NE Wide Receiver #1

DeVante Parker caught 2-of-4 targets for 33 yards in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

Parker’s longest play of the day came on a 22-yard reception in the fourth quarter when Bailey Zappe found him along the sideline. Parker was also missed on a wide open look from Mac Jones earlier in the day, but nothing was going to salvage the day for the veteran receiver. Like every other Patriots receiver, Parker is not on the fantasy radar for Week 5 against the Saints.
Kendrick Bourne

NE Wide Receiver #84

Kendrick Bourne caught 2-of-3 passes for 36 yards in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

Bournes’ best play came on a 20-yard reception when Mac Jones rolled to his right only to throw across the field to his left side to find Bourne for a gain. It was an ill-advised play that drew the criticism of the broadcast crew, who were all the more critical of Jones when he tried the same thing again just a few plays later, only to see the ball intercepted. Bourne got off to a hot start for the Patriots in Week 1 but is averaging just 37 yards per game over the last three weeks. There’s no reason to start him in Week 5 against the Saints.
Mike Gesicki

NE Tight End #88

Mike Gesicki caught 1-of-3 passes for 12 yards in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

As long as Hunter Henry stays healthy, we can expect him to out-target Gesicki on a week-to-week basis. Gesicki has caught 10 passes for 99 yards this season and isn’t on the radar as a streaming option in Week 5.
Demario Douglas

NE Wide Receiver #81

Demario Douglas caught 2-of-3 targets for 45 yards in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

Douglas found a soft spot in the Cowboys’ secondary early in the first quarter and connected with Mac Jones for a 42-yard gain. It was the longest play of the day for the Patriots, who didn’t offer much offensively in the 35-3 beatdown. Douglas isn’t on the fantasy radar at this time, but has looked good in his limited opportunities.
Hunter Henry

NE Tight End #85

Hunter Henry caught 4-of-5 targets for 51 yards in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

Henry’s biggest play came on a 21-yard reception which he stretched out to haul in. As was the case for several Patriots players, Henry’s day was largely forgettable, although the 9.1 fantasy points he provided in PPR leagues likely pleased managers who streamed him this week. Henry has gotten off to a solid start this season, totaling 17 receptions for 176 yards and two touchdowns so far. He’ll be on the streaming radar for Week 5 against the Saints.
Mac Jones

NE Quarterback #10

Patriots HC Bill Belichick said Mac Jones will remain the team’s starter going forward.

Belichick said Jones wasn’t benched for a bad performance — which may be true, but Jones was atrocious in this one. He threw for 150 yards and two interceptions, and also lost a fumble. Two of his three turnovers resulted in touchdowns for the Cowboys defense, who harassed Jones and the Patriots all afternoon. Assuming Belichick isn’t pulling a smoke and mirrors act, Jones will start in Week 5 against the Saints.
JuJu Smith-Schuster

NE Wide Receiver #7

JuJu Smith-Schuster caught 1-of-5 targets for 14 yards in the Patriots’ Week 4 loss to the Cowboys.

That’s two-straight one-catch weeks for Smith-Schuster, who now has 11 catches for 80 yards on the season. The three-year, $25 million contract Smith-Schuster signed this offseason is on the verge of being a one-year deal if things don’t turn around quickly. Fantasy managers need not consider Smith-Schuster in Week 4 against the Saints.
