The Patriots’ defense was unable to force any turnovers against the Raiders on Friday, but they did record two sacks. Anfernee Jennings and Daniel Ekuale both took down Chase Garbers once apiece.
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots’ defense lost key weapons this offseason, including cornerback J.C. Jackson. To make matters worse, an already thin secondary lost Malcolm Butler to season-ending injury. Despite the unit’s unfavorable outlook, Bill Belichick is a defensive mastermind and has led his defense to a pair of top-two finishes over the last three seasons. As such, they should be rostered in most leagues once again this year.
