Patriots’ Duo is Set
Robert Spillane and Christian Ellis started for New England and then quickly exited. Spillane has changed his jersey to number 14, a detail that threw some off, but his role is locked in. Ellis remains the LB2 and continues to prove why he belongs in the starting lineup.
Closing Thoughts
Preseason isn’t about box scores. It’s about usage and trust. Spillane and Ellis are safe bets. Dodson is Miami’s play-caller, while Gay lurks as a stash. Buchanan’s green dot use is a rare rookie story worth following. Wilson looks like late-round gold in Pittsburgh, while Knight is a work-in-progress. That’s the essence of fantasy football IDP Week 1 prep—using preseason details to get ahead of the competition.
