Fleming was a surprise cut by the Patriots at the end of the 2015 preseason but was signed to the Patriots' practice squad.[5] [6] He was promoted to the active roster on October 16, 2015, after starting left tackle Nate Solder was placed on season-ending injured reserve with a torn biceps.[7]

In the 2016 season, Fleming played in all 16 regular-season games with five starts mainly as a reserve tackle and reporting as an extra blocker. He contributed to the Patriots' 14-2 record, which earned them the top-seed for the American Football Conference (AFC) playoffs.

In the game, the Patriots defeated the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 34–28 in overtime.[8] The Patriots trailed 28–3 in the third quarter, but rallied all the way back to win the game, which featured the first overtime game in Super Bowl history and the largest comeback in the Super Bowl.[9] On September 24, 2017, Fleming made his first start of the season at left tackle against the Houston Texans.[10] He finished the 2017 season with five consecutive starts to finish the regular season. On January 21, 2018, Fleming started at right tackle in the AFC Championship game, making his first career postseason start.[11] Two weeks later, he started at right tackle in the Super Bowl, where the Patriots lost to the Philadelphia Eagles 41–33.
