Outlook Eli Raridon
Eli Raridon vs. Green Bay — Sneaky Opportunity as Target Competition Thins
Raridon enters Sunday healthy as New England's backup tight end, but his path to playing time could expand significantly with starter Hunter Henry questionable due to a foot injury and top receiver A.J. Brown ruled out. The rookie has steadily earned looks over recent weeks, commanding eight targets over his past two contests and demonstrating real red-zone capability with two touchdowns already this season.
Our models project Raridon for roughly 1.8 catches and 23 yards (6.0 fantasy points) in a matchup where New England is favored at home. Rostered in just 6% of leagues, the rookie is primarily a stash candidate in typical formats, though fantasy managers in deep leagues could consider him a speculative streamer if Henry sits.

Mack Hollins vs. Green Bay — Activated from IR into an expanded perimeter role
New England activated Hollins from injured reserve on Saturday after he missed four games with a calf injury. With star receiver A.J. Brown ruled out and Romeo Doubs on injured reserve, Hollins immediately steps into an elevated role in the offense alongside DeMario Douglas.
Our models project Hollins for approximately 3 catches, 47 receiving yards, and 4.6 targets against the Packers. While fantasy managers roster him in just 13% of leagues following his multi-week absence, the severe injury cluster across the Patriots' wide receiver room makes Hollins a viable deep-league flex option.
