Sony Michel

Sony Michel carried the ball a team-high 14 times for 61 yards (4.4 ypc), he also caught both his pass targets for nine yards.

Fantasy Impact

Michel was drafted around the RB20 slot going into the 2019 season, and he disappointed most fantasy owners, finishing at RB28 in 0.5 PPR leagues. He finished his sophomore campaign with 247 rushing attempts for 912 yards (3.7 average) with seven touchdowns. Despite playing the entire season he caught only 12 passes for 97 yards. Much of Sony Michel's 2020 fantasy outlook will dependent on the futures of both quarterback Tom Brady and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. Assuming the situation remains relatively unchanged from last year Michel should not be one of the top 30 running backs drafted in August.

Sony Michel rushed 18 times for 74 yards and a touchdown in the Patriots' Week 17 loss to the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Despite being questionable until game time with an illness, Michel suited up and handled his normal heavy workload, recording his normal relative inefficiency, but finding the end zone. Michel is a touchdown-dependent grinder who is rarely targeted, and is in a tough spot next week against the Titans.

Sony Michel (illness) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Michael was listed as questionable on the injury report after he came down with an illness on Saturday. He's officially active and will suit up against a Miami run defense that has been gashed through the ground all season. It is unclear if Michel will be limited due to the illness, but he is an RB2 for Week 17.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Sony Michel (questionable, illness) is expected to play on Sunday against the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Michel was downgraded to questionable yesterday after coming down with an illness this week. However, it sounds as if he'll be good to go against a vulnerable Miami defense. The Patriots are 16.5 point favorites today, which gives Michel RB2 upside in what should be some positive game script.

Sony Michel (illness) has been downgraded to questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Fantasy Impact

Michel showed up on the injury report Saturday due to an illness and will most likely be a game-time decision Week 17. Fantasy owners should monitor his status 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Michel is ruled out, James White and Rex Burkhead would lead the Patriots backfield in the season finale.
