Negative signalInjury

Patriots missing Brown vs. Raiders; limits Raiders DST upside.

Patriots will be without A.J. Brown in Week 5 road matchup against Las Vegas; this injury, combined with absences of Michael Onwenu and likely Mack Hollins, weakens New England's offensive output (24.25-point projection, highest total any top-15 defense will face), which limits the Raiders' upside despite their strong defensive metrics (19.1% turnover rate, 2nd-best in league; 41.1% pressure rate, 6th-best).
