Well, it really looks like the Patriots might be back to the Patriots we all used to know, and that means that Tom Brady is throwing the ball to receivers who aren't necessarily top-tier names. Brandon LaFell, in the rout of the Bears, was targeted 11 times, caught all of them, earned 121 yards, and scored a touchdown.

LaFell has been alternating games with fewer than 8 fantasy points and more than 20 for the past six weeks. The pattern would indicate that he will have a down week in Week 9, but when the Patriots face off against the Broncos, there's a good chance that every offensive player will have some usefulness.
