Fantasy Impact:

The move comes just four days after fellow Patriots’ TE Matt LaCosse suffered a lower leg injury in Thursday’s preseason win against Detroit. LaCosse’s prognosis is yet unclear, but Saubert’s acquisition was a necessary move for depth purposes, regardless. He’ll join a crowded, yet unspectacular stable of tight ends in New England, including Ben Watson and Lance Kendricks, among others.
