Patriots trade for Dolphins WR Isaiah Ford

Nov 03, 2020

A rare intra-division trade: Dolphins are trading WR Isaiah Ford to the New England Patriots, per source.

Related players: Lynn Bowden Jr., Malcolm Perry, Antonio Callaway

Fantasy Impact:

ESPN believes Ford should provide an experienced option for a depleted Patriots receiver group and he has the versatility to play both outside and slot receiver. He's mostly played the slot this season. The Patriots have been in need of reinforcements as Julian Edelman (knee) is on injured reserve and N'Keal Harry missed Sunday's loss against the Buffalo Bills. They have elevated undrafted free agent Isaiah Zuber from the practice squad four different times this year.

Meanwhile for the Dolphins, it could open the door for a trio of young players they would like to evaluate there the rest of the season: rookie third-round pick Bowden Jr., rookie seventh-round pick Perry and practice squad receiver Callaway who saw his NFL suspension expire this week and is a likely candidate to be elevated to the 53-man roster soon, an ESPN story said.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
