Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 8 | 86% (–) | 5 | Tom Brady torched the Miami Dolphins for 356 yards and four touchdowns in their first meeting this season, and New England is still playing for home field advantage throughout the playoffs. | ||||
WR | 1 | 27% (–) | 105 | Brandon LaFell could not take advantage of the absences of both Julian Edelman and Danny Amendola, and both wideouts may return in the regular season finale against the Miami Dolphins. | ||||
WR | 0 | 15% (–) | 2174 | Julian Edelman does have a chance to return from injury this weekend, though the Patriots could also choose to be cautious with their star wideout, as they have already locked up a bye. | ||||
RB | 0 | 19% (–) | 2386 | |||||
TE | 3 | 89% (–) | 33 | Rob Gronkowski had six catches for 113 yards and a touchdown the first time the Pats played the Dolphins this season. | ||||
W/T | 1 | 23% (–) | 115 | Danny Amendola missed last weekend's game due to a knee injury and could be held out once again as the Pats have secured a first-round playoff bye. | ||||

BN | 2 | 11% (–) | 95 | Steve Johnson hasn't caught a pass since Week 12 due to a lingering groin injury, and even if he suits up he's a risky play Sunday against the Broncos' league-leading pass defense. | ||||
