Patriots elevate Larison and Wishnowsky for Seattle
The New England Patriots elevated RB Lan Larison and P Mitch Wishnowsky to the active roster from the practice squad ahead of their season opener in Seattle, according to Adam Schefter.
Both players signed to the Patriots practice squad on August 31. Each player gets up to three game-day elevations before any further elevation would expose them to waivers.
What this means for fantasy
Larison is a running back with no established role in New England's offense. There is nothing in the available information to suggest he is in line for a workload worth tracking on the waiver wire.
Wishnowsky is the more notable elevation. ESPN's Mike Reiss reported that Wishnowsky was the most likely candidate to be elevated due to an injury to starter Bryce Baringer, though that has not been independently confirmed here. If you roster Baringer in a deep IDP or best ball league, Wishnowsky's elevation is a signal to watch Baringer's status closely going forward.
Neither player is a standard redraft add based on what is known right now.
