New England Patriots DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

New England Patriots wide receiver Kendrick Bourne will look to command at least five targets for the third consecutive game this Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran receiver now has 10 targets, eight catches, 100 yards, and one touchdown over the last two weeks, ranking as the overall WR26 in half-PPR leagues during that span. While it's a small size and Bourne's production did decline from Week 11 to Week 12, it's still worth noting that he has quickly cemented himself as one of Maye's most preferred and reliable targets within the New England offense. He should continue to see heavy usage in Week 13, giving him WR3/FLEX appeal in leagues with at least 14 teams. His ranking could rise further if DeMario Douglas (ankle, questionable) isn't able to play this weekend. Bourne's opponent, Indianapolis, has allowed the eighth-most catches, seventh-most receiving yards, and 14th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte is tough to trust in fantasy football ahead of Week 13, but his large role on offense gives him some fantasy relevance in deeper leagues. The second-year pass-catcher has played at least 87 percent of the Patriots' offensive snaps in four consecutive weeks, totaling 11 catches and 104 yards during that span. He typically operates as a deep-threat option in New England, but he has had trouble hauling in big catches over the last few weeks. In fact, Boutte has been less productive than Kendrick Bourne and DeMario Douglas lately despite playing more snaps and running more routes. His deeper-league allure this week comes from the fact that the Colts have struggled to contain pass-catchers, allowing the eighth-most catches, seventh-most receiving yards, and 14th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. Boutte ranks as a fringe top-50 fantasy wide receiver, earning WR4 consideration in most formats.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson is coming off one of his worst games this season, as he rushed just eight times for 13 yards and failed to catch a pass last Sunday. Stevenson was inefficient, unproductive, and relatively uninvolved in the Patriots' loss to Miami. However, he has a chance to bounce back in a big way this week against the Indianapolis Colts. The Colts have struggled to slow down opposing backfields, allowing the eighth-most receptions, fourth-most rushing yards, and fourth-most fantasy points to running backs in 2024. The 26-year-old's fantasy ranking drops to the RB3 tier this week, but he's still worth deploying in most leagues given his favorable matchup at home.

New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye remains an intriguing fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 13 game against the Indianapolis Colts. While Maye is coming off his second consecutive loss, the rookie has maintained solid fantasy production, ranking as the overall fantasy QB11 since he took over as the team's starter back in Week 6. This week, Maye gets one of his best matchups yet, facing a Colts defense that has allowed the third-most completions, fifth-most passing yards, and 12th-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. This year's No. 3 overall pick ranks just inside the top 12 fantasy quarterbacks heading into this week's battle against an underperforming Colts squad.

Minnesota Vikings kicker John Parker Romo could be in store for another strong performance this Sunday when his team takes on the Arizona Cardinals. The second-year player has been excellent through three games while he fills in for teammate Will Reichard (quad) -; drilling all eight of his field goal attempts and missing just one of six extra-point tries. Romo was last weekend's hero, connecting on a game-winning kick in OT to fell the Bears 30-27. He again might have a viable outing against a Cardinals team that has been difficult to score on in recent weeks but has allowed a good bit of yardage throughout the season. Even in a tough matchup, the Vikings' offense should be able to move the rock effectively -; paving the way to a solid day for the 27-year-old. He's RotoBaller's K12 in this week's rankings.
