The Patriots' biggest offensive weapon acquisition of the offseason directly affects one of their division rivals as they signed wide receiver DeVante Parker who had previously spent seven seasons with the Dolphins. A 1,200-yard receiver in 2019, Parker has not ever reached even 800 yards in any other season. Some of that was due to injuries and mediocre quarterback play, but a lot of it has simply been due to lack of progression as a receiver.
Certainly, Parker is a talent upgrade from what the Patriots were trotting onto the field on the other side of the field from Jakobi Meyers in 2021. The team's second-leading wide receiver a year ago was Kendrick Bourne whose 55 receptions for 800 yards and five touchdowns are really nothing to be excited about for fantasy purposes.
Unfortunately for Parker, the team didn't even move on from Bourne and they still also have Nelson Agholor on the roster, who himself went for nearly 500 yards. He's likely going to be the team's primary red zone weapon which could have some value, but this is a team that loves to run near the end zone anyway, so he's probably not going to be a consistent touchdown scorer anyway. Parker could have his weeks, but he'll likely be extremely frustrating to own like he has been throughout most of his career.

 Jakobi Meyers not expected to play
Knee injury

FFToday's Take: Meyers missed practice time this week and will sit this one out against Baltimore. Perhaps DeVante Parker will see and increased role after posting a 1-9-0 line on 4 targets through two games. Nelson Agholor (6-110-1 last week) and Kendrick Bourne should round out the three wide receiver sets for New England.
