The New England Patriots' regular season is underway, which also means that their roster and practice squad will undergo near-constant change. For reference, between the opener and regular season finale alone last season, the eventual conference champions made 102 different transactions.
It remains to be seen how many there will be in 2026, but things can get confusing quick. So, in order not to get lost amid any potential movement, here is our handy up-to-date Patriots roster and depth chart.
Quarterback (3): Drake Maye (10), Tommy DeVito (16), Behren Morton (15)
Running back (3): Rhamondre Stevenson (38), TreVeyon Henderson (32), Corey Kiner (9)
Fullback (1): Reggie Gilliam (44)

Welcome back, readers! I am happy to return for a second year as The Sporting Tribune's fantasy football ****** yst. If you are new here, my mission is to help fantasy managers with any dilemmas or questions they may have through the course of the season to ultimately win their leagues. For the next 17 weeks, I will produce weekly fantasy content that will go over the waiver wire, rankings, and Start 'Em, Sit 'Em columns.
Being a fantasy manager often means having to make difficult roster decisions, but I aim to take some of the guesswork out of it with my Start 'Em and Sit 'Em column for every position. It goes without saying that I won't include obvious calls like "start Trey McBride" or "sit Tommy DeVito." Instead, I search for players that could be perceived as fringe that could propel your lineups for weekly wins.
As always, if you have any questions or don't see your players on here, feel free to follow me on Twitter (X) – JamesNewell96 and send me a message, where I typically respond in a timely manner.
Kyle Pitts Sr. @ PIT (Projected FPTS - 9.4): Despite the news of Cooper Rush likely being named the Week One starter, I am still high on Pitts. He finished last season as one of the top fantasy tight ends with Kirk Cousins under center. Besides, Atlanta doesn't really have many options for pass catchers after Bijan Robinson and Drake London, and new head coach Kevin Stefanski typically uses his tight ends. Pittsburgh is also a favorable matchup, allowing 11 touchdowns and the third-most points to the position last season.
Dallas Goedert vs. WSH (Projected FPTS - 8.5): Goedert finished last season with a career-high 11 touchdowns. While it's easy to ****** ume some regression, the Eagles traded A.J. Brown, and rookie wideout Makai Lemon is coming off a hamstring injury. Philly's passing attack will likely feature DeVonta Smith and Goedert for at least the early part of the season. He will take on a Commanders team that allowed 12 touchdowns the season before (tied for the second-most). Goedert should expect to see a fair share of targets, making him worth putting in your lineup.

The New England Patriots were quite busy over the weekend, making 42 combined transactions to go from previously 91 to 53 players on their active roster. A majority of those moves were expected to happen, but the team of head coach Mike Vrabel nonetheless managed to pull off some minor surprises.
With that in mind, let's take a look at the moves that can be qualified as surprises through the lens of our established winners and losers format. It would be easy to label the 53 men on the active roster as winners and the rest as losers, but every situation is different and the reality much more nuanced than simply asking who is in or out.
QB Behren Morton: With Drake Maye a franchise-caliber player and Tommy DeVito an able and experienced backup, the top of the Patriots' quarterback depth chart was set in stone throughout the summer. The question was whether or not Morton had done enough to warrant being kept as one of the 53 players on the roster. Turns out he had. Despite some shortcomings elsewhere on the team, he made it through cutdown day as QB3 and the projected emergency option on game day.
OT Dametrious Crownover: Shortly before the cutdown deadline at 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, the Patriots made a trade with the Vikings to bring in versatile offensive lineman Walter Rouse, a player capable of lining up at both tackle and guard. And yet, despite his presence, the team decided to keep four pure tackles on the initial 53. Three of those — Will Campbell, Morgan Moses, Caleb Lomu — were set in stone to begin with, but Crownover's position seemed less secure with Rouse in the mix. However, he seemingly had nothing to worry about and done enough over the summer to secure a roster spot in lieu of nominal OT4 Marcus Bryant.
ED Quintayvious Hutchins: The defensive edge had been in the spotlight going back to the offseason, and it remains a question at this point as well. Through the cutdown deadline, however, the Patriots opted to go with four players, Hutchins among them. His inclusion over fellow edges Bradyn Swinson and Jesse Luketa might have come surprisingly, but the seventh-round draft pick has developed nicely over the summer to make the pair expendable.

August's hay is in the barn.
The New England Patriots closed out the preseason with a 37-13 loss to the Cleveland Browns at Huntington Bank Field on Thursday night.
Here's a glance back on the summer finale before the NFL's 53-man roster deadline hits home.
The third week of the preseason was once the dress rehearsal. It's more so the sendoff now. Last year's emergency third quarterback made the most of whatever was left.
Tommy DeVito completed 2-of-4 passes for 55 yards against the Browns and added 16 yards rushing. As reigning All-Pro Drake Maye and nearly half of the Patriots' roster observed in street clothes on Thursday, the new backup found a touchdown and stayed in until the 3:30 mark in the first quarter.

New England Patriots wide receiver Kyle Williams started off the scoring early for the team in Thursday's preseason game against the Cleveland Browns.
He blew past a defender and connected with quarterback Tommy DeVito on a 45-yard touchdown reception. The reception tied the game at seven following the extra point.
This was Williams' third touchdown catch of the preseason, continuing what has been a stellar three weeks for the second-year wide receiver. The touchdown concluded a drive that took six plays, 76 yards, and 3:19 off the clock. It came in a game where the Patriots struggled defensively right out of the gate.
So seeing some early fireworks from their No. 2 quarterback was a welcome sight.
Normally, preseason games are not full of action, especially the final game. However, Thursday night's game bucked that trend in a major way in the first quarter.

Patriots Uncover Encouraging Offensive Formula Without Drake Maye originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Drake Maye did not take a snap Saturday night, but the New England Patriots still found a way to create explosive plays through the air. That might have been the most encouraging offensive development from their 24-21 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles.
Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton each threw a long touchdown to a young receiver. The two scoring plays covered a combined 106 yards and showed that New England's reserve offense does not have to rely entirely on short throws and methodical drives.
The Patriots' postgame press conferences offered additional insight into how those plays developed.
For a team evaluating its depth behind Maye and a veteran-heavy receiving group, the answers were promising.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — The Eagles lost 24-21 to the New England Patriots on Saturday night at Gillette Stadium, but it was not a bad night.
Many of their players stood out positively. So for this edition of winners and losers, we have seven winners and two losers.
Let's begin ...
Trotter is in a tough situation for his own development. He is a starting-caliber linebacker stuck in one of the NFL's deepest units, with little chance of earning meaningful playing time. Unless injuries occur or Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio decides to play three linebackers at a higher rate, he won't play for most of the year.
Trotter may not get the opportunity, but he deserves more playing time. He proved as much against the Patriots, shooting through the A-gap in the first quarter to sack quarterback Tommy DeVito.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – It was an entertaining preseason matchup between the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, even without the starters playing.
There was some thought that star quarterback Drake Maye might play for one drive, but instead, it was Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton who each got a half. But what certainly caught everyone's eye was when a surprising player slotted in at punter.
Here are the takeaways from the Patriots' 24-21 preseason win over the Eagles:
On the opening kickoff, there was a very scary moment as Eagles running back Ja'Quinden Jackson remained down on the field following the play. His teammates immediately signaled for the training staff to come over, and they stayed with him before others came out, as well as the ambulance. Players from both teams were down on one knee, showing their support. He was put on a stretcher, and the entire Eagles sideline came over and gathered around him as he was loaded into the ambulance.
Philadelphia released an update shortly after, saying that he has "strength and movement in all extremities and is being taken to a local hospital for further evaluation."

Patriots Rookie QB Reveals Story Behind Surprise Punting Role originally appeared on NESN. Add NESN as a Preferred Source by clicking here.
Behren Morton entered Saturday night hoping to show the New England Patriots what he could do at quarterback. He ended up auditioning at two positions.
Morton replaced Tommy DeVito behind center in the second half of New England's 24-21 preseason victory over the Philadelphia Eagles at Gillette Stadium. The rookie also unexpectedly took over as the Patriots' punter after Bryce Baringer began feeling unwell.
Morton handled both jobs remarkably well.
The seventh-round pick completed 13 of 17 passes for 129 yards and a touchdown. He also punted three times for 133 yards, averaging 44.3 yards per attempt with a long of 48. It was the type of stat line rarely seen from an NFL quarterback, even during the unpredictable preseason.

After two joint practices, there were more reps to be taken under the Gillette Stadium lights.
The New England Patriots turned those reps into a 24-21 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday night in Foxborough.
Here's a glance back on the 7 p.m. ET kickoff before sights set on the preseason finale and the NFL's 53-man roster deadline.
After starting the preseason opener, Tommy DeVito handled a similar workload on Saturday night.
New England's No. 2 quarterback went 8-of-15 passing for 151 yards against Philadelphia. He again found one touchdown and no turnovers before calling it an outing. Six drives had been logged on the odometer by then.

The New England Patriots won on the arm and foot of Behren Morton.
In Saturday's Week 2 preseason game against the Philadelphia Eagles, the rookie backup served as the quarterback and punter at times. Morton got off three punts for an average of 44.3 yards, along with leading the offense on a game-winning touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter.
It was an all-around impressive showing from the seventh-round draft pick out of Texas Tech.
On the final offensive drive, Morton connected on a 37-yard touchdown pass to Nick DeGennaro to put the Patriots back in the lead. Rookie edge rusher Quintayvious Hutchins finished off the job by stip sacking Eagles quarterback Cole Payton for the 24-21 win.
Morton finished the game completing 13-of-17 passes for 129 yards and one touchdown. Tommy DeVito went 8-for-15 passing for 151 yards and one touchdown.

New England Patriots QB Tommy DeVito Getty
The New England Patriots quarterbacks Getty
Not many backup quarterbacks have a well-known nickname. Then again, Tommy DeVito of the New England Patriots isn't your standard issue backup quarterback.
While with the New York Giants, DeVito briefly became a sensation. While playing in the NFL, he became known for living with his parents and being incredibly proud of his Italian heritage. It was also around that time when he earned the nickname Tommy Cutlets, for his love of the chicken cutlets his mom would make for him.
Now with the Patriots, head coach Mike Vrabel decided it was time for a new nickname. DeVito is now "Two Chains."

The New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts tied 13-apiece in their Week 1 preseason matchup on Thursday.
There were highlights and lowlights on the offensive side of the ball for the Patriots. Keep in mind that none of the starters played in the game. As a result, the offensive unit was led at different points by backup quarterbacks Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton.
The unit itself accumulated 275 total yards on 69 plays, including 192 passing yards. The ground game wasn't as much of a factor as the Patriots probably would have hoped.
Wideout Kyle Williams scored the only touchdown for New England by hauling in a reception on a 12-yard pass from DeVito. Beyond that, the Patriots were only able to scrape by with a couple of field goals off the foot of Andy Borregales, who also had three misses on the night.
The Patriots led the time of possession well with a 32:07-27:53 advantage over the Colts. Yet, despite extra time and more possessions, the Patriots were not able to get anything going consistently on offense. That led to a stalemate with the visiting Colts at Gillette Stadium.

Wideout Kyle Williams scored the only touchdown for New England by hauling in a reception on a 12-yard pass from DeVito. Beyond that, the Patriots were only able to scrape by with a couple of field goals off the foot of Andy Borregales, who also had three misses on the night.
The Patriots led the time of possession well with a 32:07-27:53 advantage over the Colts. Yet, despite extra time and more possessions, the Patriots were not able to get anything going consistently on offense. That led to a stalemate with the visiting Colts at Gillette Stadium.

With the New England Patriots' first preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts coming up on Thursday, Aug. 13, here's a look at who The Providence Journal thinks will make the 53-man roster.
This projection is based on what we have seen firsthand at training camp over the last two weeks.
In: Drake Maye, Tommy DeVito and Behren Morton
Out: None
No surprises here. The three quarterbacks on the roster heading into training camp should be the three on the 53-man roster in September.

The New England Patriots held a team scrimmage on Friday, and rookie running back Myles Montgomery had the play of the day.
Patriots quarterback Tommy DeVito threw a pass that was intended for wide receiver Tejhaun Palmer. Palmer bobbled the pass, but luckily, Montgomery was there to save it. He came running up the sideline, caught the bobbled pass and took it almost 50 yards. The hand-to-eye coordination was almost as impressive as his awareness on the play.
Montgomery completed what is easily the play of the summer (so far) as the Patriots are in the thick of an exciting two weeks of training camp. The Patriots released a highlight reel of plays, and Montgomery's catch comes up as the third play in the video.
Montgomery will have to work hard to stand out in a crowded running back room.
However, plays like the one he had in the scrimmage go a long way in helping him accomplish that goal. Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson already have the top two running back spots locked up. So training camp will essentially crown the No. 3 option. So far, Terrell Jennings, Lan Larison and Jam Miller appear to be the top contenders.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. — There are three guarantees in life: Death, taxes, and head coach Bret Bielema finding gems at the quarterback position, courtesy of the transfer portal.
From one-year icon Tommy DeVito to campus legend Luke Altmyer and now, a battle-tested Kaitin Houser. Bielema has an eye for QBs looking for a new home to make a name for themselves.
Yet, a position fight that Bielema admits is a "non-storyline battle" is the fight for QB2.
Behind Houser, Illinois has constructed a three-man, gunslinging depth chart with determined young men who are ready to step up, get under center, and put it all on the line for the squad when needed. So, determining who will be the number two is a true challenge.
Bielema revealed during his media availability Tuesday night that his staff added cameras to their quarterbacks' equipment, not only to see how they scan the field, but also to hear how they talk to their teammates.

After one day without an audience, the New England Patriots returned to the fields behind Gillette Stadium on Tuesday for their ninth practice of training camp. The fans were treated to an entertaining session.
To recap it, please visit our Patriots training camp notebook. In the meantime, here is who caught our eye during the two-hour session.
The deep passing game: Kayshon Boutte, A.J. Brown and Mack Hollins, the biggest top-level receivers on New England's roster, made several big plays on Tuesday. Their stat lines show how involved they were: Boutte caught a team-leading five passes in team drills, followed by Brown and Hollins hauling in four receptions each.
Boutte did most of his damage against the second-string defense, and remains the factual WR4 behind Brown, Romeo Doubs and DeMario Douglas, but it is clear just how much trust both Drake Maye and Tommy DeVito have in him. He rewarded that trust with multiple downfield receptions on Tuesday — including in both QB's two-minute drill situations.
The same was true for Hollins, whose most notable play was a deep sideline shot from DeVito for what would have been a 40-plus-yard touchdown in a true game setting. Overall, the veteran has been productive the last two days and continues to be a key target in select situations.

For a third straight day, the New England Patriots put on their full pads on Saturday. Intensity was not as high as the last two days as several veterans were managed, but plenty of work still was done.
To recap the seventh practice of the summer, please make sure to head over to our Patriots training camp notebook. In the meantime, here is who caught our eye during the session.
WR Romeo Doubs: The $68 million man has seen a slow start to his Patriots' tenure on the practice fields. That flipped on Saturday as Doubs led all of Drake Maye's pass catchers with five targets and managed to haul in all of them during 7-on-7s and full-team work. The duo struck multiple times over the middle of the field a day after Doubs made an impressive grab in the end zone for a touchdown. Doubs' did appear to put the football on the ground at one point at the end of a play, but it was on overall positive practice for the 26-year old.
WR A.J. Brown: Doubs was not the only offseason addition to continue stacking strong days on Saturday, as A.J. Brown continued to look more in-sync with Drake Maye. Brown caught all three of his targets from Maye with his best work coming as he muscled a contested target away from Christian Gonzalez. The 29-year old receiver also added quick hitters on an out and slant before leaving practice early for what appeared to be rest related.
DBs Karon Prunty and Dell Pettus: New England's secondary got their hands on multiple footballs on Saturday, which began with safety Dell Pettus jumping in front of a pass from Drake Maye to Mack Hollins to record an interception. Shortly after, rookie cornerback Karon Prunty hauled in an interception of his own as he impressively tracked a deep ball from Tommy DeVito to Cameron Dorner.

Our ****** ysts just identified a stock with the potential to be the next Nvidia. Tell us how you invest and we'll show you why it's our #1 pick. Tap here.
Blackstone picked quite a week to sell Italian subs to the market, but maybe that's exactly the moment to take a breath, look around, and put some faith (and some capital) in the enduring magic of provolone and Danny DeVito.
Jersey Mike's priced its IPO at $23 a share Tuesday night, the same 24 hours the Nasdaq officially slid into correction and 3 Fed officials staged a mutiny against their own chair. Demand did not care. The deal went ten times oversubscribed, raised roughly $1 billion, and became the largest US consumer listing of the year, landing dead center of its $21-to-25 range.
That said, chatter around this deal earlier floated a valuation closer to $12 billion. It priced nearer $7.3 billion instead, a hair above the $8 billion Blackstone paid for majority control back in 2024. If you're tasting a little red wine vinegar in those numbers, you're on to something. Ten times oversubscribed, and the sandwich shop still landed below what its own private buyer thought it was worth 2 years ago. That's gotta make Steve Schwarzman feel a little stugatz about the whole deal.
JMKE shares are open to the public Thursday, but roughly 86% of the company's voting power stays exactly where it's lived since 2024: tucked inside the world's largest private equity shop.

Danny DeVito recently opened up about how he and estranged wife Rhea Perlman have found a way to make their relationship work despite living apart for nearly a decade.
"We're always over at her house. We see the grandchildren together, that kind of stuff. So that's a good relationship," the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia star, 81, told AARP in an interview published on Wednesday, July 29.
DeVito and Perlman, now 78, first met in 1971. He was acting in an off-Broadway play at the time and she saw the show with a friend. The two quickly hit it off.
"We liked off-Broadway stuff. We went to movies all the time. We made little movies together — short films," he told the publication. "We had a lot in common, and we fell in love. A nice Jewish girl from Brooklyn and an Italian from New Jersey: I cooked, and she ate."
The Cheers alum and DeVito dated for more than 10 years before officially tying the knot in 1982. During their time together, they welcomed three children – Lucy, 43, Gracie, 41, and Jake, 38.

Coming off a walkthrough on Monday, the New England Patriots turned the tempo and intensity up a notch on Tuesday. The two-hour session behind Gillette Stadium was the most competitive so far this training camp, and quite an eventful one.
To recap the action, please head over to the latest version of our Patriots training camp notebook. For who caught our eye, please keep reading.
WR Kayshon Boutte: Boutte continues to make big plays on a daily basis. On Tuesday, his biggest moment came when he caught a deep touchdown from Drake Maye during 11-on-11s. Lining up in his typical spot as an X-receiver, the fourth-year man was able to get a step on safety Kevin Byard on a go route and showed some tremendous ball tracking and concentration skills to complete the over-the-shoulder catch for a score of 40-plus yards.
It was not Boutte's only reception on the day. He also caught a throw from Maye over the middle during 7-on-7s and added pair of catches when backup Tommy DeVito targeted him on out routes. It was an active day for a player who, through four practices, has been New England's most impactful wide receiver.
QB Drake Maye: The Patriots' quarterback started a bit slowly and his connection with A.J. Brown remains a work in progress, but he overall had a good day — an encouraging development after struggling with accuracy during the last full-speed practice on Sunday. Maye got into a rhythm during 11-on-11s, finding Boutte on his long touchdowns and also connecting with Hunter Henry and Rhamondre Stevenson for long completions.
