Jacksonville Jaguars

Allen Hurns/Allen Robinson(Wide Receivers): Both of these wide receivers helped Bortles put together a nice stat line in garbage time. Hurns hauled in 2 of his 4 carries for 70 yards and a touchdown while Robinson went 4 of 9 from the field gaining only 68 yards.

TJ Yeldon (Running Back): Yeldon ran into a brick wall for most of the day finishing the game with 11 carries for 33 yards and catching 2 out of 3 of his targets for 9 yards. Yeldon had a tough task going against the Patriots at home so this was somewhat expected.

Blake Bortles (Quarterback): Bortles struggled all game as he had one of the worst QB performances of the week. Bortles padded his stats in garbage time finishing the game going 17/33 from the field. He gained 242 yards in the air and threw 2 touchdowns and an interception.

New England Patriots

Tom Brady (Quarterback): Brady continued his revenge tour against the NFL and posted a nice week 3 stat line. Brady ended the day going 33 of 42 for 358 yards and added 2 touchdowns. Brady is a QB1 every week.

Dion Lewis/LeGarrette Blount (Running Backs): Lewis began the game as the starter however Blount would have an epic day possibly re-establishing his starting role. Lewis had only 8 carries, gained 37 yards, and a touchdown. He caught all 5 of his targets and gained 30 yards through the air. Blount on the other hand had 18 carries for 78 yards and 3 touchdowns and became the predominant goal line back. Every game should not be this one sided so it is tough to say if these roles will stay the same.

Rob Gronkowski (Tight End): Gronkowski surprisingly stayed out of the end zone, gaining 101 yards on 4 catches. He also had 7 targets on the day, Gronk is a must start every week.
