Fantasy football owners are understandably ticked off with Brady failing to come through for them, even though Patriots head coach Bill Belichick is notorious for hating fantasy football.

Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor (5) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (14) warm up before the game. The offense took a blow last week when Julian Edelman suffered a foot injury that has him out indefinitely. In that narrow win, Tom Brady had two touchdown passes, one interception and 334 yards passing.
Amendola had 10 catches for 79 yards in the game against the Giants while helping replace Edelman and he should be the number one WR against the Bills on Monday. LeGarrette Blount led the way for the Patriots with 56 yards on 16 carries. The Bills coach has been a longtime rival of the Patriots.
Brady is trying to break a few Monday night bad karma on ESPN. The division is unwinnable for them or anyone but the Patriots, so it’s all about the Wild Card, and every game will weigh heavily.
Brady only has one touchdown pass as of the third quarter, and he has not been able to consistently move the chains against a vaunted Bills defense.
Now look for the Bills to try and return the favour. Hughes has 27 combined tackles, and has forced two fumbles this year. Brady finished 20 of 39 for 277 yards and is 26-3 lifetime against Buffalo, including 2-0 this season. The Bills quarterback has thrown for 1,436 yards this season and has 11 touchdowns to four interceptions. Patriots LB Jamie Collins missed his third straight game because of illness.

Running backs LeSean McCoy and Karlos Williams will see plenty of carries on Monday night, as they are both having big seasons. LaFell missed time with injuries this season, but he has been improving each week and now has seven catches for over 160 yards in the past two games.
