Thursday night games have a reputation of being stale and boring and for the most part that is true. But unlike most Thursday night games I am not fading tonight's Jets/Patriots contest completely. Tom Brady is in a great spot to rack up points againt a Jets secondary that ranks 30th in fantasy points given up to QB's. I also really like Rob Gronkowski this week as he is the obvious #1 TE (to me) now that Jimmy Graham is out for awhile. Yeah I love Julius Thomas too but the Broncos have way too many options for Thomas to continue this torrid pace.
As always I will update this DFS Playbook over the weekend after we find out more about this weeks injuries. I hope that you guys have been taking advantage of our actual optimal lineups that we've been posting every week here in the DFS Playbook.
Here is the Thursday edition of the DFS NFL Playbook for Week 7:
