AFC East Player Analysis
Mike Rumsey, FantasySharks.com, Senior Staff Writer

New England Patriots (vs New York Giants)

QB Tom Brady: Brady had two interceptions against the Giants in week nine and two against the Ravens in the AFC Championship game. He will need to play much better in the Superbowl. ( 280 yds pass with 2 TDs and 1 Int; 10 yds rush )

RB BenJarvus Green-Ellis: Green-Ellis led all New England running backs in the AFC Championship game. He should continue to see the majority of the rushing action in the Superbowl. ( 60 yds rush and 1 TD; 1 catch for 10 yds )

RB Stevan Ridley: Ridley was a scratch for the AFC Championship game against the Ravens and may be watching Green-Ellis from the sidelines during the Superbowl. ( 20 yds rush )

RB Danny Woodhead: With Green-Ellis as the featured back in the AFC Championship game, Woodhead will see limited rushing action in relief of Green-Ellis. ( 30 yds rush; 1 catch for 10 yds )

WR Wes Welker: Welker looks to repeat his earlier season success against the Giants. ( 8 catches for 80 yds and 1 TD )

WR Deion Branch: Branch wasn't much of a factor in the AFC Championship game. ( 3 catches for 30 yds )

TE Rob Gronkowski: Gronkowski injured his ankle in the AFC Championship game against Baltimore. Early reports are that he should be a go for the Superbowl but continue to monitor his injury status. ( 6 catches for 80 yds and 1 TD )

TE Aaron Hernandez: Hernandez will continue to play a big role in New England's passing game. He led all Patriots receivers in the AFC Championship game. He also has had success rushing the ball out of the backfield in the previous two playoff games, look for the Patriots to try and continue that trend. ( 6 catches for 70 yds )

PK Stephen Gostkowski: Gostkowski is coming off a 3-for-3 field goal performance against Baltimore. If the offense stalls against the Giants, Belichick won't hesitate to call his number. ( 3 XPs, 2 FGs )

Def New England Patriots: We would like them more if this were a true home game. The Patriots defense have been playing better but Nicks and Bradshaw missed the game when these teams met back in week nine. ( 3 sacks, 1 INT, 1 Fumble )
