The Patriots returned to the practice field on Saturday and they added a pair of offensive linemen to the roster.

Scoring Zone's Take
For fantasy purposes, neither Dalcourt nor Michalski warrants roster consideration in any format right now. Offensive linemen carry fantasy relevance only insofar as they protect your skill-position investments, and with no indication either player is stepping into a starting role, there's nothing actionable here for your draft board. The real value of this news is as a note-to-self: track New England's offensive line competition through camp, because any shakeup up front — good or bad — could quietly affect the efficiency and health of Patriots skill players you might be drafting, from the quarterback to the running back committee to any pass-catchers.
Action: no add, no drop, no trade movement warranted. File this under "monitor," not "act." Confidence here is necessarily low — both outlets are giving this a 50% confidence, -1.0 impact rating, meaning it's a depth/camp-body signing rather than a competition-altering move. Revisit New England's offensive line outlook closer to roster cutdowns, when actual depth-chart clarity emerges and you can better judge pass-protection and run-blocking quality for any Patriots skill-position players still on your board.
