The Patriots have promoted sophomore wide receiver Riley McCarron from the practice squad to the active roster. McCarron will be eligible to play in Week 1 as the Patriots host the Houston Texans. (Field Yates via Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
New England's receiving corps has been hit hard by injuries and will be missing Julian Edelman for the first four games. McCarron is undersized but fits the mold of a Patriots' slot receiver and could actually make an immediate impact out of the slot against a Texans secondary that was one of the worst in football last season.
