New England Patriots DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New England Patriots tight end Austin Hooper caught all three of his targets for 38 yards during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 30-year-old has emerged as a key contributor within the Patriots' offense, averaging 3.6 catches, 47.6 receiving yards, and 0.4 touchdowns per game over his last five contests. Even in his role as the No. 2 tight end behind Hunter Henry, Hooper has started to generate some fantasy buzz, ranking as a fringe top-24 option at the position heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

New England Patriots running back Antonio Gibson rushed for 33 yards on seven carries during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also caught both of his targets for a total of 31 yards through the air. The 26-year-old continues to operate as the No. 2 option behind Rhamondre Stevenson, but his increased role out of the backfield cannot be ignored. Gibson has 126 scrimmage yards over his last two games, and he's averaging 6.8 yards per carry during that span. He remains worthy of RB3/FLEX consideration in leagues with at least 14 teams ahead of next week's game against the vulnerable Buffalo Bills.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson rushed for 69 yards on 13 carries during Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also converted his lone target into a 16-yard reception. The 26-year-old delivered modest production, and although he still led the backfield in touches, he did share a significant portion of opportunities with Antonio Gibson. Stevenson's pass-catching upside should keep him in the high-end RB3 range ahead of next week's matchup against a vulnerable Buffalo Bills defense.

New England Patriots wide receiver DeMario Douglas caught each of his three targets for 11 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The 23-year-old was headed for a low-volume, low-yardage performance when Maye boosted his fantasy production by scrambling toward the goal line and shoveling the ball to Douglas for a three-yard touchdown. The Liberty product has struggled to command a significant target share over the last couple of weeks as Maye continues to spread the ball around to players like Hunter Henry, Austin Hooper, Kendrick Bourne, and Kayshon Boutte. As a result, Douglas will rank outside the top 36 fantasy receivers heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye completed 19 of his 23 pass attempts for 202 yards, one touchdown, and one interception during Sunday's Week 15 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. He also took two sacks and rushed for 14 yards and a touchdown. The rookie looked like he was headed for a clean, turnover-free showing before his pass was tipped by Kayshon Boutte and interception. On a more positive note, Maye's two touchdowns were both works of art. The first came on an ad-libbed play where he scrambled toward the goal line, and then as soon as the defender committed to him, Maye shoveled the ball to DeMario Douglas for the score. On his second touchdown, Maye scrambled outside the pocket and scampered into the end zone untouched. The No. 3 pick continues to show impressive accuracy, physicality, football IQ, and rushing upside. He's trending up and should be viewed as a high-end fantasy QB2 heading into Week 16 against the Buffalo Bills.
