Fantasy Impact: Elliott will rejoin the Cowboys after one season away from the team. With Tony Pollard leaving in free agency, the Cowboys were in need of some running back depth. Elliott had a strong season in New England, tallying 642 rushing yards and three touchdowns on 184 rushing attempts.

The New England Patriots have selected QB Joe Milton III with the 193 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. (Source: Jordan Schultz on X)

Fantasy Impact: Milton III is the second rookie QB the Patriots drafted this year. His addition makes him the fifth quarterback on the roster. With such a crowded backfield that includes 3rd overall pick Drake Maye and newly signed veteran Jacoby Brissett, it is reasonable to assume Milton will not be higher than a 3rd string this season.

The New England Patriots are reportedly open to trading down but they ate comfortable with the No. 3 pick. (Source: ESPN.com)

Fantasy Impact: We are now less than one week away from the NFL Draft. The latest on the Patriots is that they're open to trading down, but they also like the quarterbacks they could select with the No. 3 pick. It is currently a toss-up based on the betting odds as to who the Commanders select No. 2 overall between Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels with Maye recently picking up more steam. It is possible who Washington selects will impact what the Patriots decide to do as they are on the clock.

Fantasy Impact: A few days before ultimately signing back with the Patriots, Bourne said he would prefer to return to New England in 2024, and the team got the deal done shortly after. Halfway through last season, Bourne tore his ACL, but he said he plans to be ready to go by training camp. He may be off to a slow start in 2024 because of the injury, and he'll be adjusting to a new man under center as well with Mac Jones now in Jacksonville.

Mac Jones being traded to Jaguars

Sun, Mar 10th 11:12am EDT
By Mike Maher

The Patriots are finalizing a deal to send QB Mac Jones to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to a report from ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. The deal is expected to be for a late-round draft pick. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Jones had a disappointing season in 2023, throwing 10 touchdowns against 12 interceptions in 11 games. The Patriots moved on from HOF HC Bill Belichick this offseason, and they currently hold the No. 3 overall pick in what is expected to be a talented QB class. In Jacksonville, Jones will back up starting QB Trevor Lawrence. There is virtually no chance the Jaguars will pick up Jones's fifth-year option for 2025, so he will likely be a free agent after this upcoming season unless he agrees to an extension in Jacksonville.

TE Hunter Henry and the Patriots have agreed to a three-year deal. (Source: Mike Garafolo on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Henry was set to enter free agency but will now remain with New England. The 29-year-old logged 419 receiving yards and six touchdowns on 42 receptions last season. With a possible upgrade in quarterback, Henry could return to a viable fantasy option in 2024.
