Fantasy Impact:
This is a sign that Gillislee is the favorite to take over LeGarrette Blount's power back role from a season ago. It's a role that allowed Blount to lead the league in rushing touchdowns. Gillislee may not score 18 times this year, but the Patriots figure to be leading in a lot of games and could look to their free agent addition to drain out the clock. There is plenty of upside in drafting Gillislee as your RB2 this year.
