New York Jets
Brandon Marshall/Eric Decker (Wide Receivers): Brandon Marshall had his worst day of the season only catching 4 out of his 7 targets for 67 yards. Marshall dropped the game winning touchdown and ended the game by committing a silly penalty. This is the first time we got to look Marshall's floor as a fantasy player, and it was not pretty. Decker has been a consistent weapon he finished the game catching 6 out of 12 receptions for 94 yards.
Chris Ivory (Running Back): Chris Ivory tweaked his hamstring in practice however he was full go for the Jets week 7 rivalry showdown with the Patriots. Ivory finished the game with 17 rushing attempts for 41 yards, 2 catches for 12 yards and a touchdown.
New England Patriots
Rob Gronkowski (Tight End):Gronkowski got back into the end zone on Sunday as he caught 11 of 16 targets for 108 yards and a touchdown. Gronk is a weekly TE1.
Tom Brady (Quarterback): Brady had another stellar week at quarterback completing 34 for 54 passing attempts for 355 yards and 2 touchdowns. Brady was also the Pats leading rusher with 4 carries for 15 yards and a touchdown.
LeGarrette Blount/Dion Lewis (Running Back): Dion Lewis was labeled inactive for this rivalry game however Blount failed to take advantage of the opportunity to carry the load. Blount ended the game with 3 rushing attempts for -3 yards.
Julian Edelman/Brandon LaFell/Danny Amendola (Wide Receivers): Edelman struggled without a touchdown as he only caught 5 out of 9 targets for 54 yards. This was Edelman's quietest game of the season and a huge hit from Buster Skrine had a lot to do with it. Edelman dropped his lone end zone target. LaFell returned and was clearly rusty as he only caught 2 of his 8 targets for 25 yards. Danny Amendola was the beneficiary of his teammates struggles as he caught 8 of his 9 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown.
