Hernandez played in Weeks 6 and 7 after a three-week layoff due to an ankle injury suffered in Week 2 against the Arizona Cardinals. The Patriots have a bye in Week 9, giving Hernandez two weeks to rest before taking on the Buffalo Bills on Nov. 11.
Fantasy Impact: Hernandez owners should be doing everything they can to secure a starter this weekend. Hopefully they already have a decent Plan B on their bench. If not, the likes of Jared Cook, Greg Olsen, Dustin Keller, Joel Dreessen and Brandon Myers are owned in less than 60 percent of Yahoo! Fantasy leagues.
