The Patriots have brought back ILB Brandon Spikes after a one-year hiatus in Buffalo. The deal is for one year and will added much depth behind the oft-injured Jerod Mayo. Spikes is poor in coverage but excellent against the run.
Fantasy Analysis:
This is quietly a very big signing for the Patriots. Spikes is one of the best LBs against the run in the league. He's a two-down thumper that will quite possibly end up starting at some point. Spikes does not have a whole lot of IDP value, however, he could have a huge impact on the team defense.
