New England Patriots

Coming off a miserable 2024 that saw them place last in sacks (28) and 30th in fantasy points, the Patriots changed their head coach (Mike Vrabel) and defensive coordinator (Terrell Williams), then spent big on DE Harold Landry III, LB Robert Spillane and CB Carlton Davis III to bolster the defense. Is it enough to propel the D/ST into fantasy relevance? We'll see, but the Patriots do have one of the game's softest schedules, especially early in the season (LV, @MIA, PIT, CAR, @BUF, @NO, @TEN, CLE first eight games).
