Still a busy report for the Pats as we move towards the end of the season. The main name appearing this week on the list was Cam Newton, dealing with some kind of abdomen injury, but, Rapsheet reported this morning that Cam is expected to start today.
We’ll have to wait for the inactives to see if any can’t play today.

QUESTIONABLE
RB Kalen Ballage (Ankle)

DE Uchenna Nwosu (Chest)

Denzel Perryman is the only Charger not expected to play later today, but, they will have Kalen Ballage according to Adam Schefter.
Salary Cap Update
As always, here’s your weekly check-in from @patscap! The current cap number stands at $20,450,825 following this week’s roster moves.
In probably the most unique NFL season in history, Miguel provides a rundown of where every contracted player is for the team.
Fantasy Starts (PPR)
RB Damien Harris
Got a feeling Harris could have a big game today, even with Michel back from IR, Harris is clearly the starter and could see a big workload today, especially with how the passing game is looking right now. Week 12 – 4.70 Week 13 projected points (NFL Fantasy) –9.31– Average points – 9.35
WR Jakobi Meyers
Meyers still managed to get into double-figure points last week even with a poor passing game, this week he’s probably your best flex option if you’re looking for a wildcard pick. Week 12 – 10.20 Week 13 projected points (NFL Fantasy) –12.76– Average points – 12.49
