OL Greg Van Roten visits the Patriots

For fantasy purposes, Van Roten himself is a non-factor — offensive linemen carry no standalone fantasy value in standard formats, so there's no reason to add or roster him regardless of how this shakes out. The real relevance here is indirect: if New England is looking to shore up its interior or tackle depth, it's a signal the coaching staff still views the offensive line as unsettled heading into camp. That matters for how you evaluate Patriots skill-position players in your draft rankings, particularly the quarterback and any running backs in that offense, since offensive line stability affects pass protection and rushing lanes. Don't overreact to one blocking-depth evaluation, but keep an eye on how New England's line comes together over the rest of the offseason before locking in your valuations on their backfield or passing-game pieces.

Action: no roster move needed on Van Roten himself. File this as a watch-item for Patriots offensive continuity, and revisit your rankings for their skill players once the line situation firms up with higher-confidence reporting.
