Fantasy Football Player Notes

This remains Singletary's backfield. Last week he played his usual 78% of snaps with 15 touches and 80 total yards. While Cook bested him in targets, it's fake window dressing as Cook only ran nine routes versus Singletary's 33. Singletary has been more efficient recently, with back-to-back games above 3.50 yards after contact per attempt. These two strong outings have helped pull him up to 38th in yards after contact per attempt, 26th in breakaway rate, and 41st in PFF elusive rating (minimum 25 rushing attempts). The Patriots have clamped down on running backs ranking seventh in rushing yards per game, first in EPA per rush, and fourth in explosive run rate allowed since Week 7. Singletary is an RB2.

Cook's day might jump off the page upon the first pass through the box score with his five targets, but as previously discussed, it's fool's gold. Cook played only 14 snaps with four touches and 18 total yards. Without any red zone work, he remains only a stash.

Hines is droppable at this point. Since joining the Bills, he hasn't played more than ten offensive snaps in any game. His primary contributions have come via special teams returning punts.
