Predictably, the New England Patriots' passing offense has been absolutely rolling since Tom Brady made his season debut in Week 5, and they ranked third in Adjusted Passing NEP per play heading into Week 12. Brady has also averaged 36.6 pass attempts per game, and with that combination of volume and efficiency, the Patriots' offense is a great place to find fantasy production.

Rookie Malcolm Mitchell stepped up and played a big role in Week 11, being on the field for 86% of the team's offensive snaps (second among Patriots wideouts only to Julian Edelman's 87%) and continued with that role in Week 12, recording seven targets.

He has been very productive with his volume, recording 9 receptions, 140 yards and 3 touchdowns over his last two games, and even though those touchdown numbers aren't likely to be sustainable, his production shows a lot of fantasy promise in this offense.
