Conference Championships - Top Plays

QB:

TE

• Rob Gronkowski, NE (v.JAX)It’s really hard to avoid using Gronk in such a small slate with every other option having recent struggles. His biggest concern is Brady’s throwing hand, which is likely fine, but you never know. If you’re running with multiple lineups, Gronk should probably be a staple.

• New England Patriots (v.JAX)The Titans and Jaguars are pretty similar offensively. Both can run the ball and have so-so quarterbacks. I imagine Belichick will focus on stopping the run and forcing Bortles to throw. If that’s the case I like the upside of this defense. They’ve only forced 2 turnovers in their last 6 games, but they have 19 sacks in their last 3 games.

• Minnesota Vikings (@PHI) This is the lower-scoring game, with the Eagles implied total being the least of the 4 teams playing this weekend. The Eagles are likely going to try to play it safe with Foles, which limits the upside, but if the Vikings can get a big lead and make Philadelphia press the issue, that’s where the upside comes in. And that’s definitely the most-likely scenario of a defense going off in this game.

INJURIES TO WATCH 🤕

• Leonard Fournette, JAX - Ankle, limited all week, no injury designation, will play

• Mike Gillislee, NE - Knee, limited practices, questionable even if healthy

• Rex Burkhead, NE - Knee, limited practices, leaning towards playing

• Tom Brady, NE - Hand, 1 limited practice, expected to play

• Michael Floyd, MIN - Illness, missed a practice, expected to play

• Adam Thielen, MIN - Back, limited practices, expected to play his normal snaps, but likely not 100% healthy
