Patriots Dynasty Fantasy Football Overview: Can Drake Maye and TreVeyon Henderson Become Top-End Assets?

Let's dive back into the dynasty football series where I go over every team's top offensive players by looking at the New England Patriots.

We already looked at the Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, Bills, Ravens, Vikings, Commanders, Chargers, Packers, Texans, Rams, Steelers, Buccaneers, Broncos, Bears, Colts, Cowboys, Jaguars, Dolphins and Seahawks. I plan to cover every NFL team, so keep checking back for more!

Quarterbacks

Drake Maye is the team's starting quarterback, and New England is hoping he becomes the next franchise QB.

Maye had a solid rookie season, throwing for 2,276 yards, 15 touchdowns and 10 interceptions across 13 games. He added 421 yards and two scores on the ground.

Maye is just 22 years old (nearly 23) and has a really bright future. He's my No. 9 dynasty QB, and could rise several spots with a big second year.

Maye is a player to build a dynasty team around. I think he's going to turn into a massive fantasy asset as he matures and the team surrounds him with more talent. Invest in him now before it's too late.

Joshua Dobbs is the team's top backup, while Ben Wooldridge is also on the roster.

Dobbs is a career backup, but has a little value as the team's top backup. He's unlikely to ever start regularly again during his career, and as a 30-year-old, his dynasty value is fizzling fast.

Wooldridge is 25 years old, so while that works in his favor, he doesn't have much dynasty value right now. He looks like a career backup.

Running Backs

Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson appear destined to split the Pats' backfield this season. Antonio Gibson is another notable name on the depth chart.

No New England RBs made my top-10 dynasty list, but Henderson has a chance to get there someday.

Stevenson once had a bright NFL future, but he's faded over the past couple seasons. He posted 969 yards and eight total touchdowns across 15 games a season ago.

The 27-year-old still has some fantasy value left, but his dynasty value is dropping. I'd only want to roster him on a contending dynasty squad, otherwise I'd move him for a future asset.

Henderson was a second-round pick, so he has high expectations going into his career. The 22-year-old was just off my top-10 list, and if he looks good as a rookie, he could make the list before his second season.

Henderson will likely split the workload with Stevenson this season, but that could work in Henderson's favor in the long haul. If Henderson claims the majority of the work this season, then he'll also be a bigger redraft asset.

Gibson is another veteran option in the Pats' backfield. The 27-year-old had 744 yards and one score across 17 games last season.

He's likely to be the No. 3 back all season, so his numbers will drop most likely. That makes Gibson a sell-high guy in deeper dynasty leagues where he might be rostered. I'd only keep rostering him on a contending dynasty squad, and maybe only if I had Henderson or Stevenson.

Wide Receivers

Stefon Diggs was signed to lead the wideout room. DeMario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte are the other projected starters, while rookie Kyle Williams, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins, Ja'Lynn Polk and Javon Baker are also on the roster for now.

None of those guys are on my top-10 dynasty wideout list, but there's young enough players in there that someone could eventually make that list one day.

Diggs is 31 years old and coming off a major injury, so his dynasty value is dropping fast. The only thing that stopped him from reaching 1,000 yards for a seventh straight year last year was the injury.

He should lead the wideout room, maybe not in numbers, but definitely as a leader, this season. Diggs will have dynasty value on contending teams, but is more of a third or fourth receiver option than a go-to weekly option.

Douglas didn't take off in his second season like many expected. He had 637 yards and three scores over 17 contests.

Year three could be a breakout year for the 24-year-old. He'd really have to erupt to crack my top-10 dynasty list in the future though. Douglas can be rostered by a contending or rebuilding dynasty squad yet, but he's more of a secondary option than a player to trust on a weekly basis.

Boutte is 23 years old and showed some promise last season, when he had 589 yards and three touchdowns over 15 games. The former sixth-round pick will have to play well to fend off other wideouts though, and I think he's eventually going to lose his starting role.

That makes Boutte a sell-high candidate in my eyes, even though he's still pretty young. A change of scenery might be the best thing for Boutte.

Williams was the team's third-round pick this offseason, and he has some pretty high expectations going into his rookie season. The 22-year-old has a chance to shine and become Maye's No. 1 target in time.

I think he's the most likely Pats' wideout to make the dynasty top-10 list one day, but he'll have an uphill climb to get there.

Bourne has been sidelined by injuries over the past couple seasons. He looked good for the Pats in 2021, but has faded since then.

The 30-year-old is fading as a dynasty asset, and should only be a secondary option on a contending dynasty team roster. Move on from him if you aren't contending.

Hollins is joining his sixth team and going into his eighth NFL season. He has 13 touchdowns over his past four seasons, but has topped 400 yards just once in his career. The 31-year-old is just a secondary option in New England, and should only be rostered in deeper dynasty leagues, and only by contending teams.

Baker was the team's fourth-round pick in 2024, but already looks buried on the depth chart. Polk was a second-round pick last offseason, and the same could be said about him.

I think Baker and Polk will have a better chance to make the roster over vets like Bourne and Hollins, but them not being guaranteed spots in their second years tells us plenty about their dynasty values. I'm fine stashing them in deep dynasty setups for another season, but my hopes are low on both of them for now.

Tight Ends

Hunter Henry is the team's starting TE, with Austin Hooper being the top backup. Jack Westover and Jaheim Bell are other options further down the depth chart. None of those guys are close to my dynasty top-10 list, and likely never will be.

Henry is 30 years old, so his dynasty value is fading. He had 674 yards and two scores last season, and should be a decent fantasy asset again this season.

He's worth rostering on a contending dynasty team, otherwise I'd look to trade him before his trade value falls any more.

Hooper is 30 years old as well and his dynasty value is even lower as the backup option. He had 476 yards and three scores last season, so he's a better-than-average backup TE.

He is worth rostering on some deeper dynasty rosters, but could see his production drop with better receivers on the team now. That means I'd try to sell Hooper now.

Bell got in 15 games for New England a season ago, but had just 20 yards on three targets. He was a seventh-round pick last offseason, and still has an uphill climb ahead to any kind of fantasy relevance in his career.

Westover played in just three games a season ago and those are his only games played since signing with the team in 2024. He's 26 years old and barely has any dynasty value, so he's not worth rostering in any formats, and probably never will be.
