| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | ![]() |
Ryan Fitzpatrick185 pass yards, pass TD, 2 INTs, 14 rush yards
For the third time in four games, Fitzpatrick failed to throw a touchdown pass. The Patriots aren't good against the pass, and Fitzpatrick threw four touchdowns against them in Week 4, but he also threw four interceptions. Start him at your own risk. |
| RB | ![]() |
C.J. Spiller75 rush yards, 6 rec, 55 rec yards
Spiller has 109 rushing yards to go with 11 catches for 95 yards in his past two games. The Patriots are pretty good against the run, but Spiller can take any carry to the house, which makes him a good RB2 or flex play in Week 10. |
| RB | ![]() |
Fred Jackson70 rush yards, 3 rec, 20 rec yards
Jackson has 92 rushing yards, 13 catches for 63 yards and a touchdown in his past two games, but C.J. Spiller is starting to outperform him. Either way, the Patriots have allowed just three rushing touchdowns, so Week 10 could be a tough contest for Buffalo's backs. |
| WR | ![]() |
Stevie Johnson5 rec, 50 yards
Johnson caught just three passes for 29 yards against the Texans in Week 9. Against the Patriots in Week 4, he caught only two passes for 29 yards, despite seeing 10 targets. He's a WR3 or flex play in Week 10, nothing more. |
| WR | ![]() |
Donald Jones4 rec, 45 yards
Jones outperformed Stevie Johnson once again, as he caught six passes for 65 yards against the Texans in Week 9. He has 10 catches for 112 yards and a touchdown in his past two games. His other touchdown catch came in Week 4 against the Patriots, his Week 10 foe. |
| TE | ![]() |
Scott Chandler4 rec, 40 yards, rec TD
Chandler caught three passes for 51 yards at Houston Sunday, but he still hasn't seen the end zone since Week 4, when he scored twice against the Patriots. He faces New England again in Week 10, making him a sneaky fantasy sleeper. |
| K | ![]() |
Rian LindellPAT, FG
Lindell kicked three field goals against the Texans in Week 9, but he didn't get any extra point chances. He just doesn't get a steady amount of scoring chances with the Bills. |
| DEFENSE |
2 Sacks
In the past two games, the Bills' defense has four sacks and no forced turnovers and has allowed an average of 28 points. The Patriots won't have any problems scoring on them, having posted 52 points in their Week 4 meeting. |

| Pos. | Player | Projection |
| QB | ![]() |
Tom Brady345 pass yards, 3 pass TDs
Brady is on pace to throw for 4,800-plus yards for the third time in his career, with at least 32 touchdown passes for the fourth time. He has thrown for at least 335 yards and three touchdowns in his past three games against the Bills. |
| RB | ![]() |
Stevan Ridley95 rush yards, rush TD
Ridley leads the Patriots with 716 rushing yards this season, averaging 4.8 yards per carry. The upcoming schedule is going to get tough after the Bills, who have one of the worst rushing defenses in the league, so start Ridley while you can. |
| RB | ![]() |
Shane Vereen35 rush yards, rush TD
Vereen has 15 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown in his past two games, and the Patriots are starting to give him more touches. Even so, it's tough to consider starting him in any given week outside of larger leagues. |
| RB | ![]() |
Danny Woodhead10 rush yards, 4 rec, 40 rec yards
Woodhead is second on the Patriots with 48 rushing attempts -- and fourth in receptions, with 19. The Bills allow a ton of points to running backs, so consider Woodhead as a flex in PPR leagues. |
| WR | ![]() |
Wes Welker8 rec, 105 yards, rec TD
Welker is on pace for 120 receptions, 1,472 yards and four touchdowns this season. He remains a top-10 fantasy wide receiver every week, regardless of his opponent. He caught nine passes for 129 yards against the Bills in Week 4. |
| WR | ![]() |
Brandon Lloyd5 rec, 60 yards, rec TD
Lloyd hasn't been quite as productive as everyone had hoped in his first year with Tom Brady, but he did catch two touchdown passes in his last outing in Week 8. The Bills' defense is bad enough to warrant starting Lloyd in most leagues this week. |
| TE | ![]() |
Rob Gronkowski5 rec, 60 yards, rec TD
Over Gronk's past two games, he has 14 catches for 224 yards and four touchdowns. He caught five passes for 104 yards and a touchdown against the Bills in Week 4, so things are looking up for Gronk's owners in Week 10. |
| TE | ![]() |
Aaron Hernandez6 rec, 60 yards
Hernandez (ankle) was inactive in Week 8, before the Patriots' Week 9 bye, but he's expected to be healthy for Week 10. The Patriots have too many weapons for the Bills, so Hernandez should do well once again. He caught seven passes for 138 yards and a touchdown last January against Buffalo. |
| K | ![]() |
Stephen Gostkowski5 PATs, 2 FGs
Gostkowski has scored fewer than 10 fantasy points in just three of eight games this season. He had three field-goal attempts and seven extra points against the Bills in Week 4. |
| DEFENSE |
2 INTs, 2 Sacks
The Patriots are coming off one of their best defensive efforts of the season in Week 8 before their bye, when they held the Rams to just seven points. They allowed 28 points to the Bills in Week 4, but they picked off four passes and forced six turnovers. |
