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 2^nd 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.

New England Patriots vs Denver Broncos

Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em

Rob Gronkowski

#2 Ranked TE

The big man scored the 7^th most fantasy points last week and would have tied for the most points by a TE last week if he had caught that TD in the last seconds of the game (that was nowhere near him). Gronk is a beast and you should always start him. The Broncos DEF was really bad the first part of the season but they have been really good the second half so don’t look at the statistics and think this will be an easy scoring game for the Patriots.

Gut Calls

Tom Brady

#4 Ranked QB

Technically he should be on the bench as he was only the 18^th highest scoring QB last week which means no one should have been playing him. This week is no different. The Broncos do allow points to opposing QBs so he won’t get shut down but there will still be other QBs who will score more points and are a safer bet.

Steven Ridley, Shane Vereen and LeGarrette Blount

#16 Ranked RB, #22 Ranked RB and #39 Ranked RB

It is not pretty, guys. Ridley should be the RB in New England, but he fumbled so Belichick sidelined him and he only got to play 6 snaps after the mishap. Belichick does this so now you truly have no idea what kind of production you will get out of him. Vereen got a total of 34 snaps in comparison to Ridley’s 16 snaps and Blount was in for 19 snaps. You have a committee now, which means you can’t be sure about any of them. Who cares that the Broncos give up more than average points to RBs, you aren’t sure which of them will have a break out game or if all of them will have about 6 points like last week.

Danny Amendola, Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson

#20 Ranked WR, #63 Ranked WR and #25 Ranked WR

Same thing goes for the Patriots WRs. You have no idea who will actually score the most, as Brady likes to spread the wealth. Great from a team perspective, but terrible from a fantasy perspective. Before Gronk was back, your WRs had a bit more value. Amendola is the best option if you are in a PPR league but Thompkins actually had the most point last week; you can’t really count on any of these guys to produce for you week in and week out at this point.

Bench Warmers

Patriots DEF

#23 Ranked DEF

Hopefully you have figured out by now that you should bench whichever DEF is playing against the Broncos this year. The Patriots DEF is no different. Have them on your bench.
