News: New England announced Saturday the club re-signed DB Brandon McGowan and LB Tracy White. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed. McGowan, 27, signed with the Patriots in 2009 after four seasons with Chicago (2005-2008). He missed all of 2010 with a chest injury.
Analysis: White was a leading special teams performer for New England during the 2010 season, finishing second on the team with a career-high 18 special teams tackles. White is entering his second year with the Patriots, but should not be considered a viable Fantasy option.
News: The Patriots acquired veteran LB Tracy White from the Philadelphia Eagles on Saturday for a conditional draft choice
Analysis: White isn't expected to see enough time on the field for New England this season to have any Fantasy value in IDP formats.
News: The Eagles had several defenders play well Sunday at the Falcons. Tracy White had six tackles and a fumble recovery. Sheldon Brown had three tackles and an 83-yards interception return for a touchdown. Sean Jones had three tackles and an interception. Darren Howard had two tackles and a sack. Juqua Parker had one tackle, a sack and a forced fumble. Asante Samuel had three tackles.
Analysis: The Eagles defense continues to play well. Plan on using your regular IDP option in Week 14 at the Giants.

White, a sixth-year player, appeared in 32 regular-season games and two playoff games for Green Bay. Lansanah signed with the Packers as a non-drafted free agent from Connecticut.
Analysis: Neither player is recommended in Fantasy as neither sees the field nearly enough.

Analysis: Rodgers has been dealing with a hamstring injury and will backup Brett Favre and Craig Nall. Keep him reserved in all leagues, and the same thing with Franks. All the other players have minimal Fantasy value at this time.
