8. Aaron Dobson-WR-New England Patriots

Although drops continue to be an issue, Dobson has earned a role in the Patriots offense going forward and continues to get looks and targets from Tom Brady. Last week against the Saints, Brady targeted Dobson 10 times and he was able to haul in a team-high six catches while collecting 63 yards.

This week the Patriots face the Jets in Foxboro who Dobson made his NFL debut against in week 2 and caught three of ten targets on that day for his first and only NFL TD. Dobson should continue to see plenty of work with Danny Amendola out again with a new injury (concussion) and tight end Rob Gronkowski still on the mend. When and if Gronk and Amendola return, Dobson may see less targets but more space on the outside which could result in continued big plays if he can eliminate the costly drops.
