Aaron Dobson-WR-New England Patriots

After the typical Patriots mystery surrounding the injuries to Danny Amendola and Rob Gronkowski, neither player travelled to Atlanta and neither will play against the Falcons tonight. Since they’re not going to play, the rest of the Patriots receiving corps will be ready to contribute and the fringe option that I think you want the most is Aaron Dobson. Kenbrell Thompkins did get the two touchdowns last week, but he only caught three passes while Dobson hauled in seven catches and was targeted 11 times.

In the last two games, Dobson has received double-digit targets and has a total of 10 catches for 108 yards and a score. Dobson has big-play potential and has shown a developing connection with Tom Brady.

Tonight should be a shootout in Atlanta, and I think Dobson has a solid game against the Falcons secondary who have allowed the eighth most fantasy points this year to opposing WR.
