The Patriots will lose Sony Michel to IR as he goes down with a quad injury ahead of Monday's matchup. This leaves James White back in charge of the stable, with the versatile Rex Burkhead behind him and Damien Harris activated to the gameday roster beforee the game. Betting on the Patriots backfield is always a tough call, but with one less variable in the room, it clears things up for Burkhead or White owners. The Patriots may have to lean on their run game early and often, as journeyman Brian Hoyer is starting in lieu of Cam Newton this week.
