Bradley Fletcher

Bradley Fletcher was released by the Patriots on Saturday, ESPN's Field Yates reports. Fletcher hasn't played since Week 2 when he picked up four tackles and a forced fumble in a win over the Bills, as the veteran cornerback had fallen to No. 5 on the depth chart.

Bradley Fletcher had a golden opportunity with the Patriots to win a starting corner back job and make an impact on defense this season. But Fletcher failed to distinguish himself and struggled in pass coverage. Fletcher may catch on with another team but will only be a depth signing.

On Friday night, the Patriots used Bradley Fletcher at right cornerback. He played 39 snaps and helped his cause for not just a roster spot, but a potential top-3 role. Coach Bill Belichick said after the game. "He's got good length and it showed up in a few plays. Certainly did last week. We'll take a look at the film, and try to figure out how to use him the best we can."

Malcolm Butler and Tarell Brown also looked good in the backfield for the Patriots on Friday night. But Bradley Fletcher should earn himself a spot in the secondary to start the season with the Patriots. He has sleeper potential for IDP but for right now will probably not see enough snaps to warrant getting drafted in IDP leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Bradley Fletcher will be INACTIVE for their Week 17 game against the New York Giants. Nolan Carroll will start in his place.

Fantasy Impact

Though Fletcher is officially listed as out due to a hip injury, many fans think he is out because he's been getting torched more than The Wicker Man. I can't think of a play in the last two games when a ball thrown to Fletcher's guy was not completed. Fantasy owners could do worse than Nolan Carroll this week, as the Giants should be throwing his way a lot, as he's a guy coming off the bench with very little time on the field this season. I could see him getting some decent tackle totals today.

Eagles CB Bradley Fletcher got beaten multiple times for touchdowns on Sunday Night Football, as Dez Bryant caught 3 scores and the Cowboys beat the Eagles 38-27.

Fantasy Impact

The secondary for the Eagles was a disappointment as a whole, but Fletcher got embarrassed multiple times. The Eagles get the Redskins next week, so look for Fletcher and the Eagles D/ST to rebound from their 2 game skid.

Bradley Fletcher had 4 tackles, 5 passes defended, and 1 interception for a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact

Bradley Fletcher's coverage was sensational on Monday night including a pick six. He blanketed the Panthers long ball options and is part of the reason the Philadelphia Eagles are the #1 ranked fantasy scoring defense in the league. I'm surprised they are only owned in 70.5% of NFL.com fantasy leagues, if they are available on the wire grab them!
