New England Patriots

Tom Brady (Quarterback): Brady had an incredible day throwing for over 466 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Patriots reverted to a pass happy attack utilizing Tom Brady's arm strength as much as possible. Brady completed 37 of 59 pass attempts and has slowly become one of the best fantasy options at quarterback.

Rob Gronkowski (Tight End): Gronkowski has been the best tight end in fantasy football period. Week 2 was no exception as he dominated the Bills. Gronk finished the day with 7 catches, a touchdown, and gained 113 yards. Gronk is a premium option every week.

Julian Edelman (Wide Receiver): Edelman took over the offense in week 2. He finished the day with 11 catches, 1 carry for 12 yards, 97 receiving yards, and 2 touchdowns. Edelman has broken out as the best receiver in this offense and will continue to be Tom Brady's second option.

Dion Lewis/LeGarrette Blount (Running Back): Blount owners were disappointed when they saw him only have 2 carries and 4 yards in week 2. The key running back this week was Dion Lewis, he finished the day with 7 carries for 40 yards and a touchdown along with 6 catches for 98 yards. Lewis may have been filling in as Blount might need more conditioning before he takes over but he could potentially be the main running back in this offense.

Buffalo Bills

Tyrod Taylor (Quarterback):  Tyrod Taylor had a productive day however he was playing catch up with the Bills offense for most of the game. Taylor completed 23 of 30 passes from the field, threw 3 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, had 5 carries that gained 43 yards and ran in for a touchdown. Taylor had an impressive week 2 performance however he needs to clean up his turnovers. Taylor is a low ceiling QB1.

Sammy Watkins (Wide Receiver): Watkins finally had some fantasy production as he gained 60 yards on 6 catches. He also got in the red zone scoring a touchdown. Watkins will be a low to mid-tier wide receiver 2.

LeSean McCoy (Running Back): McCoy had a productive day on the ground rushing for 15 carries, 89 yards, and 3 catches for 27 yards. McCoy got a touchdown vultured by Karlos Williams but he still put up enough points to have a good fantasy day.

Waive Wire Target

Karlos Williams (Running Back): Williams has proven that he is a more than capable backup. He finished the day with 6 carries for 21 yards and a touchdown. Williams has scored a touchdown in each game this season and seems like an incredibly capable vulture of LeSean McCoy.
