The Patriots ruled out A.J. Brown (ankle/knee) and TreVeyon Henderson (illness) for Sunday's game against Green Bay. Brown missed all three practices this week and remains out for his second consecutive game, though the Patriots are optimistic he will return after their Week 11 bye. Henderson, who posted a statement Friday describing unexplained neurological symptoms requiring hospitalization, has been ruled out with no return timeline established. Hunter Henry is questionable with a foot injury after missing two practices and participating in limited fashion Friday.

With Brown unavailable, DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism III will handle the receiver workload. Rhamondre Stevenson is expected to dominate backfield touches with Henderson out. Henry's status remains uncertain; managers should check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. If Henry cannot play, Eli Raridon would see increased work at tight end.

Fantasy impact

Player by player

A.J. Brown

Brown did not practise Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and has been ruled out with ankle and knee injuries. He caught 3 passes for 48 yards on 6 targets in Week 7 against Chicago, posting 6.3 half-PPR points on 91% of snaps with a 20% target share. He has averaged 4.9 half-PPR points a game this season on 6.7 targets a game with a 22% target share over his last three contests.

Brown is scoring 4.6 half-PPR points a game below what his usage predicts, meaning his role is worth more than his recent points. His weighted opportunity rating ranks 24th of 184 receivers and his 33% air yards share ranks 26th. DeMario Douglas and Efton Chism III will take on his targets against Green Bay, which allows 27.8 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 12th most of 32. Brown cannot help any lineup until he is cleared.

TreVeyon Henderson

Henderson did not practise Wednesday, Thursday or Friday and has been ruled out with illness. He rushed 3 times for 9 yards and caught 2 passes for 14 yards on 2 targets in Week 7 against Chicago, posting 3.3 half-PPR points on 24% of snaps. Rhamondre Stevenson had 6 carries and 5 targets on 69% of snaps in that game, against Henderson's 3 carries and 2 targets. Henderson has averaged 3.4 half-PPR points a game over his last three contests.

Henderson posted a statement Friday describing unexplained neurological symptoms requiring hospitalization for several days. The Patriots have not placed a return timeline on his recovery. Rhamondre Stevenson will handle the backfield workload against Green Bay, which allows 22.8 half-PPR points a game to running backs, the 8th most of 32. Henderson does nothing for a fantasy lineup until he is cleared.

Hunter Henry

Henry did not practise Wednesday or Thursday and practised in limited fashion Friday with a foot injury. He is listed questionable for Sunday. He caught 3 passes for 30 yards on 3 targets in Week 8 against Miami, posting 4.5 half-PPR points on just 13% of snaps before leaving with the injury. Over his last three games, he has averaged 9.3 half-PPR points on 5.0 targets a game with a 19% target share and 55% of snaps.

Henry is scoring 3.0 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts over his last three games, meaning some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. His weighted opportunity rating ranks 18th of 111 tight ends. A limited practice is not a guarantee he plays; check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff. Green Bay allows 7.0 half-PPR points a game to tight ends, the 2nd fewest of 32. If Henry cannot play, Eli Raridon would see increased work.

What to do

• Bench A.J. Brown with his second consecutive absence confirmed and move DeMario Douglas or Efton Chism III into your lineup if you need Patriots receiver exposure.

• Bench TreVeyon Henderson and consider Rhamondre Stevenson, who will handle the backfield against a Green Bay defence that allows the 8th most half-PPR points to running backs.

• Monitor Hunter Henry's status before Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff by checking the inactive list about 90 minutes early; if he cannot play, consider Eli Raridon only in deeper formats against a tough Green Bay defence.
