The New England offense leans on tight ends in this camp battle, with an undisclosed injury to Hunter Henry clouding Week 2 and Minnesota prep looming. Austin Hooper slides into starter reps, while Gee Scott Jr., Jack Westover, C.J. Dippre, and Jaheim Bell chase snaps behind him. If Henry’s absence extends to Minnesota, the Patriots’ tight end rotation will be tested and fantasy managers will need to monitor who steps up in camp and early preseason action.

Henry’s chemistry with Drake Maye this summer adds another layer to the offense, but Week 2 could hinge on Hooper’s consistency and the ceiling of the depth trio. Westover’s versatility at fullback/TE could swing reps in the two-TE looks, while Dippre and Bell will need to carve routes and blocks. Hooper remains the anchor, but the depth chart behind him becomes a high-leverage fantasy story as teams prepare for the regular season.

The Miami Dolphins are set to welcome back tackle Terron Armstead and fullback Alec Ingold for their matchup against the New England Patriots, following a week of uncertainty regarding their participation.

Cornerback Kendall Fuller will be sidelined due to a concussion, marking his second consecutive game missed. Other inactives for Miami include familiar names such as running back Jeff Wilson Jr. and cornerback Ethan Bonner.

On the Patriots' side, defensive tackle Jaquelin Roy is out, along with Deatrich Wise Jr. and several others, while they have elevated players from their practice squad.

The New England Patriots are gearing up for their upcoming game against the Miami Dolphins, having made important roster adjustments by promoting linebacker Keshawn Banks and tight end Jack Westover from the practice squad.

Keshawn Banks, who previously played for the Green Bay Packers, had a notable college career at San Diego State. Jack Westover, a former Seattle Seahawks player, also joined the Patriots after a solid tenure at the University of Washington.

Despite these changes, the Patriots hold a 3-8 record and face challenges ahead, though they have shown improvement in recent performances.
