Week 3 vs Detroit Lions As an avid fantasy football participant
http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/elandon-roberts-jersey , I plan to start a weekly analysis of the New England Patriots and their current
matchup in terms of fantasy football. This is my analysis and estimations of
stats heading into week 3. Good luck with all of your match-ups!Quarterbacks I
think it is obvious that the Patriots, myself, and just about any other Pats fan
who made a prediction about last week vs the Jaguars, had an off day. It happens
and for the Patriots, can almost be expected. It seems like each year, we have
1-2 embarrassing games that jump-starts Patriots nation into panic mode.
Fortunately for us, they always bounce back and play like the New England
Patriots we know and love. Let’s hope we bounce back in a big way vs the Lions
on a national stage on Sunday Night Football. Both Tom Brady and Matthew
Stafford have very limited amount of playing time against the opposing team.
Brady has only played the Lions twice over the past 10 years, Stafford just
once. Looking more closely to 2018, the Lions defense have faced both Sam
Darnold and Jimmy Garoppolo, which both posted a QB rating of 116.8 and 118.4,
respectively. While I rather not discuss what happened to the Patriots defense
last week, it has to be said they did not play up to expectations. It also seems
that Patrick Chung and Trey Flowers are not going play this week due to
concussions, which could definitely be favorable to Stafford. I believe we will
see a back and forth shootout with the Patriots edging out the Lions to get the
win. Both QBs can be started on your fantasy football team. Final Prediction:
Tom Brady: 322 yards, 3 touchdownsMatthew Stafford: 298 yards, 2 touchdowns, 1
interception Tight Ends Hind sight is always 20-20, so to look back and say
“Yep, not surprised Gronkowski had a bad game” is a given. Looking ahead, I feel
like this one stat says everything you need to know about the Lions defense.
“Lions 17, Jets 48” Yes, I know
Authentic Jeremy Hill Jersey , this was week 1 and every team adjusts, but these are the New York Jets!!! If Gronk doesn’t come out and post a decent stat
line, I will be very, very surprised. Start Gronk like always, but do not touch
any Lions tight ends. On an additional note, I believe once Josh Gordon starts
to get more playing time, Gronk will be the biggest benefactor since Gordon will
probably draw more safety help, leaving slower linebackers on Gronk. It should
be a fun situation to watch pan out. Final Prediction:Rob Gronkowski: 5
receptions, 56 yards, 1 touchdown Running Backs Here we go, let the headaches
begin! As a fantasy football owner, this is the situation we all dread. Who to
play at running back for the Patriots? Last week, James White lead the RBs in
receiving targets at 8 (also was team high for the second week in a row), Sony
Michel lead the RBs in rushes at 10 attempts, and Burkhead was smack dab in the
middle with 6 rush attempts and no passing targets. ARRGGGHH! My best advice
going into this week is really looking at your team and assessing your needs. I
would honestly avoid all Patriots running back if YOU ARE NOT in a PPR league.
If you are, I believe James White and Sony Michel are playable flex options.
Burkhead has the possibility to see more carries this week, especially since we
shouldn’t be playing from behind like week, but I still consider him a risk. As
for the Lions, they are in a very similar situation between the rookie Kerryon
Johnson, Theo Riddick, and LeGarrette Blount
Womens Dont'a Hightower Jersey , in which I feel exactly the same. If you are in a PPR league, I feel comfortable starting Johnson or Riddick at the flex
but stay away from Blount. He is a touchdown dependent player. Final
Predictions: James White: 27 rushing yards, 5 receptions, 41 receiving yards
Sony Michel: 45 rushing yards, 5 receptions, 49 receiving yards, 1 receiving
touchdown Rex Burkhead: 52 rushing yards Kerryon Johnson: 51 rushing yards, 3
receptions, 25 receiving yardsTheo Riddick: 10 rushing yards, 5 receptions, 50
receiving yards Wide Receivers Here we go. (Part 2) This part is a little more
interesting with the recent acquisition of Josh Gordon. Classic “High risk, high
reward” type situation here, where if he does play this week, his snaps are
probably going be limited. However, when he does get into the game, hopefully
the play calling will be in his favor, which are stretching the field, big play
threat. With the Patriots definitely hurting at the WR position, I think they
will push Gordon to play as much as possible. Hogan is a touchdown dependent
player moving forward, and Dorsett is a volume player until Julian Edelman comes
back. I would consider all these guys as flex players but wouldn’t rely on them
to be consistent. As far the Lions WRs go, Golden Tate and Marvin Jones are
start-able WR2’s and Kenny Golladay has emerged as a WR2/flex player. He has
posted an impressive 13 receptions
http://www.newenglandpatriotsteamonline.com/deatrich-wise-jr-jersey , 203 yards, and 1 TD in the first 2 games of the regular season. Might want to
check if this guy is still on waivers! Final Prediction:Chris Hogan: 3
receptions, 55 yards, 1 receiving touchdownPhillip Dorsett: 5 receptions, 68
yardsJosh Gordon: 1 reception, 37 yards Golden Tate: 5 receptions, 73 yards
Marvin Jones: 6 receptions, 81 yardsKenny Golladay: 4 receptions, 53 yards, 1
receiving touchdown Defense Yikes, last week was??yikes. I’ll give my props to
Blake Bortles, who once again shined against the Patriots defense, even without
Leonard Fournette. However, the Patriots are great at making adjustment and I
believe they will have a bounce back week. You can go ahead and start the
Patriots defense, but do not expect a huge game. Stafford can be INT heavy at
times, so hopefully we can catch him at his worse. If you are waiver wire
hunting for a defense, Seattle could be a good call, they are playing Dallas at
home. Good luck!Week 2 Patriots vs Jaguars: How to watch, game time, TV
