Patriots Week 9 outlook
The Patriots sit at 5-3 and have won their last game, though the recent stretch has been uneven: a win over Miami sandwiched between losses to Chicago and the Jets. New England has outscored opponents 184-162 on the season, a sign of a team that competes week to week without dominating. Now they host Green Bay in Week 9, with the market giving them a 57.4 percent win chance for a home game that should be competitive.
Drake Maye is the fantasy centerpiece, projected for 20.5 points against a Packers defense ranked 3rd-toughest in the league against quarterbacks, a tough draw despite his talent. Rhamondre Stevenson and DeMario Douglas face a softer matchup, with Green Bay ranked 23rd and 25th against their positions respectively. Hunter Henry, questionable to play, still carries a strong projection given Green Bay's porous pass defense to tight ends, ranked 2nd-easiest in the league.
Injuries complicate the picture. A.J. Brown, Carlton Davis III, Christian Elliss and TreVeyon Henderson are all questionable, and their statuses will shape snap counts and target distribution. Fantasy managers should watch for late-week updates before finalizing lineups.
