Availability
The Patriots' D/ST logged two sacks and allowed 13 points in Wednesday night's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact
New England's defense got a lucky break with QB Sam Darnold (hip) leaving early on in the game. He was replaced by Drew Lock, and while the Patriots held Seattle's offense to just 13 points, that wasn't enough to lead them to a win. This unit should be a decent option against the Steelers in Week 2.
The Patriots' D/ST logged four sacks, one interception, and one fumble recovery in Sunday's 38-10 win over the Miami Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact
New England's defense played well on Sunday. They held Miami to just ten points and made a few big plays to help out their offense. This unit has been great over the course of the season and will be a key factor in whether or not they will be able to make a deep push in the playoffs.
The New England Patriots D/ST allowed 307 yards of total offense and only 10 points in a lopsided 42-10 win over the New York Jets on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
The Patriots defense took a back seat to Drake Maye and the New England offense on Sunday. New England had just one sack and forced one turnover against the Jets, but the only real hiccup came on a 59-yard touchdown run by Breece Hall with the game already decided in the fourth quarter. New England closes out the regular season next Sunday against the Dolphins.
The Patriots' D/ST logged two fumble recoveries and one sack while allowing 24 points in Sunday night's win over the Baltimore Ravens.
Fantasy Impact
New England's defense struggled for much of the game on Sunday, but they were able to step up in the fourth quarter, securing a big fumble recovery to seal the win over the Ravens. This unit projects to be very good over the last couple games of the season with matchups coming up against the Brady Cook-led Jets and the Quinn Ewers-led Dolphins.
The Patriots D/ST allowed 181 passing yards, 168 rushing yards, and 35 points in a 35-31 loss to Buffalo.
Fantasy Impact
The Patriots' defense tallied two sacks and one fumble recovery in the loss. The defense was dealing with a few injuries throughout the game that will be worth monitoring ahead of a key matchup with Baltimore in Week 16.
