Patriots continue adding, sign Montravius Adams

Fantasy slant: New England continues to add depth along the defensive line to improve last year's putrid showing against the rush. Bill Belichick's run defense ranked 31st in adjusted line yards allowed last year. Adams will likely still be a rotational player for the Patriots, but the defense will get a boost versus opposing running backs when he's on the field. He played on 62 run defense snaps last season but was the 21st highest-graded interior run defender per PFF on that limited volume. – Derek Brown
