Ja'Lynn Polk

Ja’Lynn Polk (shoulder) will not play in Week 18 against the Bills.

Polk’s rookie season mercifully comes to an end a week early. The former Washington Husky never found his footing in the NFL. He routinely made catastrophic drops, ran sloppy routes, and found other ways to commit various blunders. Despite playing 436 snaps, Polk logged just 12 catches for 87 yards and a pair of touchdowns as a rookie. The Patriots could overhaul their receiving room in the offseason, putting Polk at risk of getting knocked down the depth chart heading into his second campaign. Pats will and dynasty managers alike will be hoping the he works on the fundamentals during the NFL’s off period and returns to the team as a potential No. 2 receiver in the summer.
