The New England Patriots have removed All-Pro cornerback Stephon Gilmore from their COVID-19 list.

Gilmore has been on the list since October 7 that also landed quarterback Cam Newton.

This is bad news for a struggling Denver Broncos offense with Gilmore on track to play this week.

The Broncos are 28th in the league in points scored per game and 29th in total yards.

If the Patriots defense is available in long-term fantasy leagues, this could be a good week to pick them up.

In terms of daily fantasy, the Pats high valued defense may be worth the price, especially with the return of Gilmore.
