Henderson carried the ball six times for 24 yards and caught two of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Buffalo.

Henderson finished as New England's leading rusher as part of a three-player committee, but it was Rhamondre Stevenson who cashed in both of the team's short rushing scores Sunday. The latter also coughed up his third fumble of the season, which could cut into Stevenson's playing time even after making two trips to the end zone. That potential scenario could open up more touches for Henderson going forward, though so far he has seen his fantasy value thwarted by the three-way timeshare. Until he has an uptick in usage, the second-round rookie will be stuck as a deep-league option.

Stevenson took seven carries for 14 yards, two touchdowns and a lost fumble while adding two receptions for 13 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

Stevenson led New England's three-headed backfield with his seven carries Sunday, rewarding fantasy managers with a pair of trips to the end zone. The bad news for the veteran rusher was that his ball security woes continued with his third lost fumble in as many games. Stevenson's case of fumblitis didn't cost his team a shot at victory like it did in Week 3 against the Steelers. That said, it wouldn't be surprising if the Patriots lean more heavily on TreVeyon Henderson and Antonio Gibson going forward if Stevenson is unable to correct his turnover issues.

Cook rushed the ball 15 times for 49 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. He did not catch his only target.

Cook endured his worst game of the season both as a rusher and receiver. His longest rush of the day went for only nine yards, and he also went without a catch for the first time on the campaign. Positively, Cook still dominated opportunity out of Bills' backfield, with Ray Davis and Ty Johnson combining to see only four rushing attempts with zero targets. Cook should have a strong chance of bouncing back in Week 6 against Atlanta.

Miller accrued 10 rushes for 41 yards and hauled in his only target for eight yards during Sunday's 26-14 victory against the Giants.

Miller logged double-digit carries for the second week in a row. While he wasn't as productive as the Week 4 loss to Buffalo, the third-year running back paced the Saints in rushing attempts for the first time this season. He finished with two more carries than RB1 Alvin Kamara, who has had a very slow start to the season. Kamara's slump has opened more and more opportunities for Miller, including a season-high 39 percent of offensive snaps Sunday. If Kamara continues to struggle, then Miller could be in line for even more carries during the Week 6 matchup versus New England on Sunday, Oct. 12.

Henry had two receptions on four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

Henry ripped off a pair of 20-plus yard receptions in order to check in as the Patriots' second-leading receiver despite finishing with just the two receptions Sunday. The veteran starter failed to extend his modest scoring streak to three games on a night when the passing offense accounted for zero touchdowns. Henry has been a pleasant surprise in fantasy crossing the quarter point of the regular season, producing a 17-250-3 receiving line heading into a Week 6 matchup against the Saints next Sunday.

Allen completed 22 of 31 passes for 253 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots. He added nine rushes for 53 yards while also losing a fumble.

Allen had an up-and-down showing, with his biggest mistake coming on an interception late in the third quarter that allowed New England to build a 10-point lead. He still had plenty of excellent stretches in the game, including completing five passes of at least 20 yards while delivering touchdowns of six and two yards. As is typically the case, Allen chipped in extra production on the ground, with a 19-yard scramble helping him top 50 rushing yards for the second time on the campaign. While it wasn't Allen's most prolific showing, he continues to deliver a very safe fantasy floor.

Maye completed 22 of 30 pass attempts for 273 yards, no touchdowns and no turnovers while taking three carries for 12 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Buffalo.

Maye continued his impressive development in Week 5 despite failing to score a touchdown for the first time this season. The sophomore signal-caller did the dirty work between the 20s, leading a pair of lengthy drives in the second half that RB Rhamondre Stevenson finished off with short rushing scores. Maye is completing an impressive 73.9 percent of his pass attempts through five starts, leading New England to a surprising 3-2 start to the campaign. The North Carolina product should continue offering starter-level production in fantasy in a road tilt against the Saints next Sunday.

Borregales went 3-for-3 on field-goal tries, including a 52-yard game winner in the final minute, and 2-for-2 on extra-point attempts in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

The kicker hit the decisive field goal right down the middle with more than enough distance to spare. He also made a 30-yarder and a 19-yarder in the first half, both of which proved decisive as well. The sixth-round draft pick missed a field goal in Week 1 and two extra points in Week 2, but he has been perfect since.

Diggs hauled in 10 of 12 targets for 146 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.

Diggs saved his best performance of the season to date for the bright lights of Sunday Night Football in a win over one of his former clubs. The 31-year-old star wideout cracked the century mark in receiving yards for the second consecutive week after totaling just 112 yards over his first three appearances with New England. A lack of touchdowns lingers as the only flaw in Diggs' 2025 fantasy resume, but his recent game log proves that he still can produce at an elite level. Diggs should be treated as a WR1 in fantasy when the Patriots visit the Saints next Sunday.

Prater made both of his field-goal attempts and both extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Patriots.

The kicker made a 31-yarder early in the game and a 45-yarder in the fourth to briefly tie it up. Prater is now 10-for-11 on field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra-point attempts in 2025, and he has made every kick in four of five games this season. With Tyler Bass (left hip/groin) still on IR for the moment, the Bills' high-scoring kicking job belongs to Prater, who has also made a strong case to keep it.
