New England Patriots running back Sony Michel is "no sure thing" to be ready for Week 1, according to The Athletic's Jeff Howe.
Michel is currently on the active/PUP list, which he was placed on at the start of training camp following foot surgery this summer. The Patriots signing of Lamar Miller is another sign that Michel may not be ready to start the season. If he is unable to go, sophomore Damien Harris could be on the Patriots' active roster for a Week 1 meeting with the Miami Dolphins.
If Michel is available, our models project him for 48.6 rushing yards, 0.31 rushing touchdowns, and 7.7 FanDuel points against the Dolphins in Week 1. He is priced at $6,000.
