The New England Patriots offense is back and for fantasy football owners, Rob Gronkowski and Tim Wright are two very good options to start, while Stevan Ridley, Shane Vereen and Julian Edelman all should get a boost with Tom Brady back in his groove and the team now has an anticipated game against the Buffalo Bills after winning big over the Cincinnati Bengals this week.

The Patriots bounced back in a big way against a good team in the Bengals and now Brady and the rest of the offense has a boost coming into their next game. The team plays the Bills and then has the Jets on the schedule and those could be two big games for the offense. Brady had a very solid game last week and Gronkowski continued playing more and more snaps than he has in past weeks and he looks like a consistent start option across all leagues.

Tim Wright has finally started to get a hang of the offense and he has taken over the Aaron Hernandez spot and now the Pats have a ton of sets with two tight ends on the field. Stevan Ridley is another solid player to look at, as he is finally out of the dog house and getting starter carries again. Shane Vereen is a strong PPR option for fantasy owners and he could be a solid flex or RB3 starter.

Gronk has been playing well and he has been looking well recovered from his injuries last season and each week he has played more and more snaps. While Gronk has 19 catches in five games, he has four touchdowns already and he has been a consistent starter for fantasy owners. Wright is a good option in case Gronk goes down again and he also is a good flex pick for owners after putting up five catches for 85 yards last week. Gronk is still the main starter, but Wright could see more snaps going forward.
