Sony Michel was great last year, especially in the playoffs. Michel has top-5 upside as the lead back for the Patriots. Tom Brady is getting older and the Patriots' receiving core isn't great, so they are going to run the ball as much as possible. They might lead the league in rushing attempts, and Michel will be getting a ton of those. He is the main goal-line back as well, so he will score a ton of touchdowns. One of the concerns with Michel is the fact that the Patriots will have a committee, but if the Patriots run the ball as much as they did in the playoffs, Michel will still have a massive workload. He averaged 24 touches a game and both Rex Burkhead and James White still were able to get a ton of touches. Across 16 games last year, Micheal had 288 total touches, and that number seems likely to increase this year after Michel's impressive performance in the playoffs. Expect that this year, so Michel will be getting a workhorse workload in a top-5 offense. The Patriots drafted Damien Harris in the third round, but he will serve as more of a backup and was only drafted because he was too good to pass up on in the third round. The Patriots weren't targeting a running back, but one fell into their laps, so they took him. If Michel or Rex Burkhead get hurt (they both did last year) Harris will be a good option. The Patriots were so injured at running back at one point last year they started Cordarrelle Patterson, and receiver, at running back. They don't want that to happen again, so Harris will fill in if needed. The biggest concern with Michel is his health. His knee has been an issue since he tore his ACL. He missed three games last year because of it and had a knee scope this offseason. This isn't a major issue according to Dr. Jessie Morse, but it's something worth monitoring. Overall, Michel is in a committee and has some knee issues, but he should still get a workhorse workload because the Patriots are going to be running the ball a ton.
