I have volunteered to start doing a Monday Night Football Preview each week.

New England Patriots

Quarterback

It’s Tom Brady. We don’t call the guy Touchdown Tommy for no reason. He is averaging 20 Fantasy Points a game and is also still Tom Effing Brady.

Running Backs

Rex Burkhead is out so this is going to be the Sony Michel show. I don’t know what he did to piss off Tom Brady last week but I look for him to make up for it with a massive game this week. James White is in the circle of trust so nothing else needs to be said about a guy averaging 10 Fantasy Points and 7.8 targets, you play James White… If you are looking for a cheap option that stands a chance of a few touches look to Brandon Bolden with Devlin and Johnson on IR.

Wide Receivers

Edelman check. Dorsett… Questionable but with Gordon out I expect him to play even if he is a decoy. Your third option this week is Jakobi Meyers so if you need some diversity in your line ups, keep him in mind.

Tight Ends

Ben Watson is back baby! So that means if Tomlinson gets the ball it’s because he is on Tom Brady’s Fantasy Football team…

Kicker

Mike Nugent is averaging 7 Fantasy Points and if you need a kicker he will do but I do not expect him to make a huge difference.

Defense

The Patriots Defense has scored more Fantasy Points in most weeks than the actual team scored real Football points. Let that sink in.

New York Jets

Quarterback

It’s not the size of the Sam Darnold in the fight it’s the size of the fight in the Sam Darnold. The kids got no fear. he’s going to throw the ball without fear. He’s gonna lose but I expect 200+ passing yards out of him.

Running Backs

Le’Veon Bell is making the most of the year off and asking for more and more touches each game and Adam Gase is giving them to him. Just be aware that this leaves room for him to get vultured by Montgomery or Powell at the goal line.

Wide Receivers

Jamison Crowder is getting 2/3rds of the targets at the receiver position. Anderson gets second-most and Demaryius Thomas could stay at home and I don’t think anyone would notice.

Tight Ends

When Chris Herndon gets back its gonna change the way this passing offense flows, Darnold loves him. Right now it’s a toss-up between Ryan Griffin and Daniel Brown but if I had to bet on a Tight End here I go with Griffin.

Kicker

Sam Ficken. Ever heard of him? Ever? Just don’t… he is averaging 3 Fantasy Points a game.

Defense

I haven’t seen the Jet’s Defense since Rex Ryan was the Head Coach.

As always you can find the most recent rankings here.
