ISAIAH FORD FLIPPED TO NEW ENGLAND
The New England Patriots acquired wide receiver Isaiah Ford from the Miami Dolphins for a seventh-round draft pick in 2022.
What does it give the New England Patriots
This is a surprise, as two division rivals rarely swing trades to help each other. However, Ford could be an important pickup for a Patriots team nearly devoid of playmaking talent at the receiver positions.
What does it give the Miami Dolphins
Ford spent most of this season as a backup slot receiver for Miami, but the team has several other options for both the slot and wideout positions that they felt comfortable moving Ford at this time--even to New England. Go figure!
Fantasy impact
If fantasy leaguers are as desperate as New England is to find more playmakers at the wide receiver positions, they could do worse than give Ford a try. That said, Patriots quarterback Cam Newton needs to start throwing the ball better for ANY Pats receiver to have fantasy relevance.
