Fantasy Football Team Outlook: New England Patriots

Sep 08, 2015 07:52 AM EDT

Rob Gronkowski (Tight End): Gronk is the main weapon for this Patriots offense and has the highest fantasy value of anyone on their roster. Gronk should go at the end of the first round-early second and should be considered the best tight end in fantasy football.

Tom Brady (Quarterback): Brady will be starting week one and all is right with his fantasy value. Brady has the potential to be a top 5 fantasy quarterback. Brady gets a couple of tough matchups early in the season however Brady and the Patriots should have a chip on their shoulder after deflategate.

Julian Edelman (Wide Receiver): Edelman has been a little bit injury prone these past few seasons however he remains Tom Brady's top target besides Rob Gronkowski.

LeGarrette Blount/Brandon Bolden/James White (Running Back): With Jonas Grey gone that alleviates some of the confusion that comes with the Patriots backfield however who will be the starter week to week is another story. Blount has taken snaps in the preseason however he has been anything but effective. James White is likely to be the third down back which leaves Bolden to share carries with Blount. The Patriots backfield will give fantasy owners headaches all season long.

Danny Amendola (Wide Receiver): Amendola has been consistently injury prone and this lowers his ADP significantly. Amendola has been a favorite target in camp which should make him a late round option in deeper leagues.
