NFL:
Which Patriots players are best positioned to benefit from safer Week 1 opportunities after Peppers' release?
Qwiket AI:
With Peppers out, Patriots safeties and the linebacker corps may see expanded responsibilities in coverage and run-support. Look for a veteran safety stepping into a larger role and a reserved nickel back to cover more zones. In a vacuum, a ball-hawking safety could accumulate tackles and turnovers Week 1, offering deeper league value.
