Patriots' Davon Godchaux: Signs extension with Pats
Rotowire
New England signed Godchaux to a two-year, $20.8 million contract extension Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 27-year-old defensive tackle performed well as a starter for the Patriots last year, and they saw fit to extend his contract despite the fact that 2021 second-round pick Christian Barmore is waiting in the wings. Godchaux is more of a gap-filler and double-team eater than a tackling machine or a pass rusher, so he likely won't be fantasy relevant any time soon despite being a quality real-life player.

Patriots' Davon Godchaux: Totals 10 tackles
Rotowire
Godchaux totaled 10 tackles (six solo) in Monday's 14-10 win over the Bills.
Godchaux tallied his highest single-game tackle total of the season, leading the Patriot defense in tackles in this contest. Prior to this contest, the 27-year-old only had one game with more than five total tackles. If the defensive lineman could consistently put up these types of tackling numbers, an already strong New England defense would become a whole lot stronger.

Dolphins' Davon Godchaux: Returns to sack column
Rotowire
Godchaux recorded seven tackles (four solo) and a half-sack during Sunday's 41-24 loss to the Browns.
Godchaux notched a season-high tackle count during Sunday's loss, and he now has 1.5 sacks on the year. His consistency as a run stopper makes Godchaux a viable IDP asset, but he lacks much upside as a pass rusher. The third-year pro will look to keep his momentum up against the Eagles in Week 13.
