That group gets to dig its teeth into another offensive line with some serious question marks. The difference in facing the Patriots is TEs Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. The dynamic duo each caught six passes at Tennessee, and QB Tom Brady's quick release and ability to attack the middle of the field could give Horton pause before dialing up a constant stream of blitzes. The Cardinals want to be physical on both sides of the ball, and featured RBs Ryan Williams and Beanie Wells last week.

In the Patriots pass-happy world it has been Tom Brady, a plethora of wide receivers, and more recently his monster tight end combo that have been the apple of the fantasy world’s eye. The running back scene has been one to almost avoid. Coming off a 125 yard (152 total yards), one touchdown day from Stevan Ridley, perhaps it’s the dawn of a new day.
