Patriots cut WR Brandon LaFell and TE Scott Chandler

Mar 02, 2016

With the new league year starting next week, teams are getting their houses in order by dispatching players who are under contract and out of their plans for monetary or performance reasons.

The Patriots joined that group on Wednesday. According to multiple reports, they have released wide receiver Brandon LaFell and tight end Scott Chandler.

Fantasy Impact:

After a #22 finish in 2014, LaFell struggled to make an impact in 2015, averaging just 4.8 fantasy points (standard) in 11 games. The Patriots will likely look to improve the receiving corps this offseason.

Mike MacDonald says DK Metcalf is expected to practice Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact:

Metcalf suffered a MCL sprain and missed weeks 8 and 9 and is coming off the bye week, so the hope is Metcalf is good to go for Week 11. It will be worth monitoring the injury and practice reports this week. The Seahawks travel to San Francisco in a later Sunday game so owners will at least want to have a plan in place just in case he's a game-time call.

Hill is officially active after he was questionable for the Week 10 contest with a wrist injury.

Fantasy Impact:

The story added Lisa Salters of ESPN reported on Monday that Hill underwent an MRI that showed a torn ligament in his wrist. Hill noted that he was dealing with a wrist issue during training camp that was aggravated during his detainment by police before Miami’s season opener on Sept. 8.

Bills WR Keon Coleman (wrist) won't play Week 11

Sean McDermott says Bills WR Keon Coleman will not play Sunday against Kansas City.

Related players: Khalil Shakir, Mack Hollins, Curtis Samuel

Fantasy Impact:

It was possible that Coleman was going to miss multiple weeks of action with the wrist injury and that's now already confirmed. It's the second-straight week Coleman will be out. The Bills are hoping to get back Cooper this week, but if they don't Shakir and Hollins will be the top WRs with Samuel likely also involved. Hollins had a 4-86-0 line with Shakir collecting a 6-58-0 line in Week 10 against the Colts.
