Keion White and Christian Gonzalez are out for Week 2 as New England visits Miami, thinning the Patriots’ edge and secondary. Anfernee Jennings could inherit bigger edge duties, reshaping the Patriots’ pass rush against a familiar opponent. Morgan Moses is questionable at right tackle, with Marcus Bryant positioned to step in if needed, while Marte Mapu is also uncertain, complicating lineups and special-teams depth.

The Dolphins have no named injuries in this update, leaving their offense comparatively intact. For fantasy and bets, Jennings, Bryant and Lowe emerge as notable late-round or DFS targets if Moses sits, while Mapu’s status could tweak back-end coverage and IDP value. Monitor final injury designations as Week 2 approaches.

Overall, Boston-to-M Miami sets the stage for depth pieces to shine. Expect heightened usage for Patriots’ depth at tackle and edge, and a cautious approach to the secondary until Dallas returns to practice. A dynamics-driven game with plenty of rotation could produce surprise fantasy contributors.

Anfernee Jennings embraced Vrabel's four-down front after years in a 3-4, adapting to new calls, coaching, and teammates amid offseason trade chatter. He stayed patient, played with grit, and kept his focus on the task at hand.

Three preseason sacks against Minnesota validated the plan and helped him lock in a spot on the 53-man roster. With New England's D-line rotating, Jennings could see more rush snaps as the season unfolds, making him a riser for IDP managers who chase pass rush upside.

New England completed its 53-man roster cuts and ducked into a light week of practice behind Gillette Stadium. Christian Gonzalez sat with a hamstring issue, while Efton Chism, Anfernee Jennings and Jack Gibbens returned to action after minor ailments. Kendrick Bourne was released, Javon Baker waived, and Tommy DeVito plus Charles Woods were claimed off waivers to reconstitute the 53. The club also announced 16 signings to its practice squad as it eyes the Las Vegas opener.

With the 53-man slate finalized, New England will use the upcoming days to prepare for the season debut against the Raiders on Sept. 7. The practice squad additions fuel depth for Week 1, while the health status of Gonzalez will be watched closely for a cornerback group that could shape fantasy lineups.

The Patriots staged roster cuts with Terrell Jennings and Gee Scott Jr. released, signaling a three-man backfield behind Rhamondre Stevenson, Antonio Gibson, and TreVeyon Henderson as final 53-man decisions loom. Jennings showed preseason buzz but lands on the waiver/practice squad path, while Scott Jr. impressed in camp but didn’t crack the initial roster. NE’s WR and TE depth remains fluid, with Javon Baker, Kendrick Bourne, and the TE duo of Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper in the mix, plus Dippre and Westover breathing down the floor as potential practice-squad options.

Fantasy implications point to Stevenson maintaining clear RB1 status, Gibson likely handling a sizeable role as a veteran back, and Henderson operating as a change-of-pace option. Henry and Hooper anchor the tight end group, with Dippre/Westover possible future contributors. The Pats still have eight moves to finalize before the 4 p.m. deadline, making watchlists essential for late adds and potential waiver-week drops.
