Rest-of-Season Projections
Sharper will work out with the Patriots, according to SportsXchange via Adam Caplan of Sirius/XM.
ANALYSIS
Sharper might not be the hardest hitting safety in the league any more, but one would imagine he could still be useful, particularly in Bill Belichick's defensive system.

Sharper discovered the Fountain of Youth in 2009, recording nine interceptions and returning three of them for touchdowns. He is a perfect fit for defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' aggressive scheme, as he is asked to play centerfield and read the quarterback while strong safety Roman Harper's number is often dialed in blitz packages. Given that his value is almost entirely tied to his interception total, it would be unwise to count on Sharper to repeat last year's fantasy performance, particularly at his age and after offseason knee surgery.
