Rapoport: Patriots are placing WR Malcolm Mitchell (knee) on IR

Ian Rapoport

Source: The Patriots are placing WR Malcolm Mitchell on Injured Reserve.

Related players: Brandin Cooks, Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola, Phillip Dorsett

Fantasy Impact:

It's not clear at this point if Mitchell will have a chance to return this season, but this is clearly an upgrade for the other receivers in New England and might explain why the Patriots traded for Phillip Dorsett. Chris Hogan, Danny Amendola and Dorsett get a bump.

Saints Beat: WR Tedd Ginn pushing for WR2 spot

ESPN

Aug 29, 2017 · 12:03 PM EDT

I pretty much expected Willie Snead to settle in as the New Orleans Saints' No. 2 receiver after they traded Brandin Cooks this offseason.

But as this summer has gone on, it's starting to look like veteran newcomer Ted Ginn Jr. might push him for that unofficial title -- or, better yet, that the Saints might not have anyone who is considered a No. 2 receiver behind Michael Thomas.

Fantasy Impact:

The story went on to say the Saints love to spread the ball around. Snead has had a very quiet summer, with just three catches for 18 yards in a total of three preseason games. There are other hints - like Ginn being listed ahead of Snead on the Saints' unofficial depth chart and Snead playing deep into the fourth quarter of New Orleans' second preseason game.

WR Brandin Cooks ready to be bigger part of Pats offense

Pro Football Talk

Aug 29, 2017 · 8:09 AM EDT

The Patriots are obviously going to have to adjust after the injury to wide receiver Julian Edelman, but newcomer Brandin Cooks already figured to be a big part of their offensive plan.

Acquired in a trade with the Saints this offseason, Cooks said the job got tougher without Edelman (who suffered a torn ACL in their most recent preseason game), but he knew he was walking into an environment where adaptability was key.

“Very unfortunate, a guy like that; a warrior who works so hard,” Cooks said of Edelman, via Mike Reiss of ESPN.com. “At the same time, we know we have to get ready, to keep the wheels turning and do what we have to do to make up for that.”

Fantasy Impact:

Cooks says he feels fresh but is still learning the demands of the Pats offense. We have Cooks ranked 12th on our list of WRs.

Patriots confirm WR Julian Edelman tore his ACL, out for the season

Fears confirmed via MRI, Patriots WR Julian Edelman has a complete ACL tear in his right knee, per source.

Fantasy Impact:

Hogan likely steps in and replaces most of his production in the offense. To this point, he's been more of a late-round flier thanks to the addition of Brandin Cooks, but he has the receiving chops to play in the slot or outside. In 18 games last season (including the postseason) he played at a 49-catch, 900-yard, 5.3-touchdown pace, which equates to fantasy WR4 numbers in PPR formats and low-end WR3 numbers in standard (thanks to his 18.4 yards per catch). Hogan will likely run more shorter routes causing his receptions to increase while the yardage and touchdowns stay about the same. He's our No. 42 receiver in PPR scoring, which would make him an 8th-round value on draft day. Most owners will probably be able to get him in the 10th or later.
