New England Patriots vs Cleveland Browns

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Tom Brady

#8 Ranked QB

Well it took almost the entire regular fantasy season for Tom Brady to work his way back up to a starter, but there are few other QBs that you should feel better about or who have a better track record of producing than Brady. The Browns fall dead center in the defensive pack when it comes to keep QBs at bay, so it should be a good week for Brady.

Rob Gronkowski

#1 Ranked TE

This should be a no brainer. He is healthy and Brady is his QB. Always a must start. The fact that he was the highest scoring TE last week should prove that and the Browns are weak against TEs.

Gut Calls

Shane Vereen

#27 Ranked RB

We can’t in good faith name Vereen a must start only for the fact that Belichick is his coach and anyone other than Brady can be pulled at any moment. With that said, he could be a great look at an RB2 or flex. He was the 19^th highest scoring RB last week, which lands him exactly in that spot in your lineup. The Browns do a better job stopping the run than the Texans so maybe lean more so towards the flex.

Julian Edelman

#27 Ranked WR

Again, we don’t love any of the Patriots WRs for the fact that you never know which WR will produce that week but Edelman has had the hot hand the last two weeks so if you were going to roll the dice he would be the one to take the gamble on. The Browns give up the ninth fewest points to WRs so perhaps look at another team.

Bench Warmers

There is no obvious bench players this week but you might consider putting the Patriots DEF on the bench, Josh Gordon did blow up last week and has been solid all year at sucking points away from defenses.

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 2^nd highest scoring NE wide out last week but perhaps next week Amendola will be the big WR. Tough to say,

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.
