4 years agoNew England Patriots tight end Ryan Izzo (neck) was placed on Injured Reserve prior to Thursday's game against the Rams, and he will now miss at least the next three contests. Devin Asiasi (personal) was activated from the IR to take Izzo's place on the roster. Izzo has been utilized primarily as a blocking tight end this season, having combined to make 13 catches for 199 yards across 12 games, all of which he has started. The post-Rob Gronkowski tight end picture in New England has been less featured in the passing game, making Asiasi and fellow TEs Dalton Keene and Jordan Thomas unlikely to garner much fantasy intrigue over the coming weeks. Izzo will be eligible to return for the team's Week 17 matchup against the Jets, but he can remain on the waiver wire in all season-long formats until he gets the green light to return.--Jesse Borek
