Develin scored a two-yard touchdown on his only carry in Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.

EDGE Analysis

The fullback has scored in two straight games and has four TDs over his last four contests, despite logging only six carries in that span. He'll remain a risky TD-dependent fantasy roll of the dice this weekend against the Steelers.

Develin carried four times for five yards and scored a pair of short TDs in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Vikings. The fullback also caught one pass for nine yards.

EDGE Analysis

Develin's name is going to stand out on waiver wires based on his Week 13 fantasy point total, but with just five carries through 12 games, banking on him making continued trips to the end zone (he also scored in Week 10) is a high-risk strategy.

Develin scored a touchdown on his lone carry in Sunday's loss to Tennessee.

EDGE Analysis

Develin hasn't seen much action this season, and had zero rushing attempts entering Sunday's game. His one-yard touchdown appears more fluke than anything, and he still has extremely little fantasy value.

Develin signed a two-year, $3.8 million extension with the Patriots on Thursday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Develin's extension comes on the heels of him earning his first trip to the pro-bowl in 2017. Now under contract through the 2020 campaign, Develin will figure to continue having little fantasy value himself while boosting the rest of the team's rushing attack with his blocking ability.

Develin finished the 2017 regular season with six catches on 10 targets for 38 yards in 16 games.

EDGE Analysis

There's not much fantasy value attached to Develin's job as the Patriots' starting fullback, but his blocking prowess earned the 29-year-old Pro Bowl recognition. Develin remains under contract with the Patriots for the 2018 season.

Develin signed a two-year deal with the Patriots on Monday, Ben Volin of the Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Develin played in 30 percent of New England's offensive snaps in 2016, recording three receptions for 18 yards. He's primarily a blocker and a special teams player who shouldn't be expected to have any fantasy value in 2017, though his return is a boost for the rest of the Patriots' running game.

Develin has signed a one-year deal with the Patriots, ESPN's Mike Reiss reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given his limited touches in the team's offense, Develin's fantasy value remains limited. That said, his versatility and blocking are valuable assets to the Patriots, and his healthy return to the mix in 2016 should be a boost to the team's ground game this coming season.

Develin has a broken tibia and will be out for 6-8 weeks, per the Boston Herald.

EDGE Analysis

With Develin out so long, the Patriots are likely to look for free agent options to replace him for the first half half of the season. If they fail to find a serviceable alternative, the fantasy outlook for their committee of running backs will dim a little more.

Develin was carted off the field Friday with a leg injury.

EDGE Analysis

While the team has not specified the exact injury, it was a scene where teammates and coaches were coming up to Develin to wish him well as he was leaving the field, so it was likely pretty serious. His status should be updated in the coming days, and as the lone fullback on the roster, Develin's absence could prompt the Patriots to bring someone in from outside the organization.

Develin signed his exclusive-rights free agent contract, Jeff Howe of the Boston Herald reports. Develin will return as the starting fullback, after recording just nine touches during the 2014 regular season. His solid blocking was rewarded with a one-yard touchdown reception in the AFC Championship Game against Indianapolis.
