New England Patriots – Fantasy Forecast – Week 13
New England Patriots at Houston Texans
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Tom Brady
#13 Ranked QB
Welcome back to the starting line-up Tommy. He played well the last few weeks and his players are stepping up a bit. Brady played well against the Texans in the past and the Texans aren’t playing up to snuff so Brady should pick them apart.
Rob Gronkowski
#1 Ranked TE
Gronk looks like Gronk again. He caught seven passes for 90 yards and also scored a TD last week. Brady is glad to have his big target back and so are we. He is a must start especially when he goes up against a mediocre defense this week.
Gut Calls
Julian Edelman, Danny Amendola, Aaron Dobson and Kenbrell Thompkins
#40 Ranked WR, #46 Ranked WR, #51 Ranked WR, #66 Ranked WR
Edelman had a fantastic last week scoring 23 fantasy points; unfortunately he only scored a total of 15 points combined in the 6 games previous. With Gronk back this opens up the WRs. The problem is that you don’t know which WR will be hot that week and it really is going to come down to which WR the opposing team decides to game plan against. Thompkins was the 2nd highest scoring NE wide out last week but perhaps next week Amendola will be the big WR. Tough to say,
Bench Warmers
Patriot Running Backs
When you fumble you get benched on the Patriots. When you have more than one RB fumble, that doesn’t mean that the starter gets put back in. Belichick just works his way down the roster. So, who is at the top of the roster? Your guess is as good as ours. It’s pretty risky as you don’t know if Vereen will play, or Bolden or Ridley or Blount.
