Tarell Brown slotted as number two cornerback for Patriots

New England Patriots' offseason acquisition Tarell Brown is pegged as the Patriots number two cornerback to start the season, according to The Boston Herald's Jeff Howe.

What It Means:

Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler is slotted as the number one cornerback on the Patriots defense. The Patriots will have to replace departed All-Pro Darrelle Revis in their secondary.

The Patriots ranked fourth in our schedule-adjusted Defense Passing Net Expected Points metric last season. Our algorithms project the Patriots to finish as the 24th-ranked fantasy defense this upcoming season.
