Patriots wide receiver Brandon LaFell missed practice today due to a case of strep throat, according to a source.

LaFell, who has been on a tear of late, with 25 catches for 329 yards and four touchdowns in his last four games, was told to stay clear of the facility at Gillette Stadium. When a player has something that is deemed contagious, that is usually the message the Patriots send. His locker appeared untouched when the media was allowed into the locker room during player access.

With the Patriots' bye week coming last Sunday, it had been five days since the team had practiced prior to today.

Fantasy Impact: 

The story added that it is difficult to say how the ailment will affect LaFell for the week of preparation or for Sunday night's game in Indianapolis. The Patriots are not required to release an injury report until after tomorrow's practice.

Pats waive WR Kenbrell Thompkins

Pats wide receiver Kenbrell Thompkins, one of the feel-good stories for the New England Patriots in 2013 as he rose from undrafted rookie free agent to front-line contributor, was waived by the team Saturday.

Thompkins started in the season opener this year, but was inactive for two of the last three games as he was passed on the depth chart by five-year veteran Brandon LaFell. Thompkins totaled six catches for 53 yards in 85 offensive snaps this season (including penalties), and he doesn't play on special teams.

Fantasy Impact: 

With the Patriots' offense struggling to find its groove, the release of Thompkins shakes things up a bit. With him out of the mix at receiver, the Patriots have Julian Edelman, LaFell, Danny Amendola and Aaron Dobson atop the depth chart. Dobson, the team's second-round draft choice from 2013, has only played in one game this season, and Thompkins' release potentially will create more opportunity for him, according to the story. LaFell showed something in Week 4 against the Chiefs so there could be an opportunity for him as well. However outside of Edelman, the Pats WR situation is one that needs to shake out a little for fantasy purposes.

Patriots Beat: Brandon LaFell has earned Tom Brady's trust

Wide receiver Brandon LaFell is coming off his best game as a Patriot (he played every offensive snap) and I'm told he has decisively earned the trust of quarterback Tom Brady at a time when few others at the position have. Expect LaFell to continue to play a significant number of snaps in two- and three-wide-receiver packages.

Fantasy Impact: 

LaFell has 10 catches for 165 yards and a touchdown in his last two games and is filling the role in the offense originally meant for Aaron Dobson. He's roster-worthy in most formats.

Part of what has made Patriots QB Tom Brady such an elite quarterback throughout his career has been the ability to spread the ball around. But this season, wide receiver Julian Edelman seemingly has been his only real option, with Rob Gronkowski slowly getting back to speed and some of the new faces still finding their way.

Kenbrell Thompkins was inactive yesterday, while Aaron Dobson caught one pass in the early part of the game. Brandon LaFell has yet to catch a pass, while Danny Amendola has three catches for 16 yards.

“Yeah, we’ve just got to find ways to get everybody the ball and spread it around to different guys,” Brady said. “We spread it around a little bit yesterday. (Amendola) didn’t get the ball as much as obviously I’d like to get it to him. Brandon LaFell, the same thing. Aaron Dobson had one catch to start the game and didn’t get a lot of other looks after that. We’ve got to get the ball to everybody and spread the ball around to everybody.”

Fantasy Impact: 

Spreading the ball around hasn't happened yet for Brady and the Pats. While the young receivers have had another with Brady, Dobson's injury has hurt the Pats deep-play potential. TE Rob Gronkowski's slow recovery is likely playing a role as well as he was limited to just 29 snaps this week, also thanks in part to a lopsided win. Things should get better as the weeks go by, but Brady owners should expect up and down production until things get settled.
