The defense has mostly played well against Tua. It’s the offense that has been the issue. They pretty much have done a good job keeping the MIA offense in check. If NE can score 24-27 points, they should be in position to win. I think we will see a lot of games like last week this year, with games in doubt until the end.
Tua has played well vs NE. If that continues today, the game script will favor Bourne getting some targets as they will be losing.
If “well” = winning, Tua has gone 4-0 against NE. If “well” = big numbers, that hasn’t really been the case. He’s put up 726-3-2 in those 4 games.
But BB’s defenses haven’t confused him like most young qbs. It’s a intriguing game, looking forward to it.
Trying to decide the same with London and Bourne. One would think ATL would need to throw with a team like GB expecting the run. Bad news is Alexander Will probably be matched up on him. Bourne should get the volume. Always tough to bench a guy you wasted draft capital on this early in the season.
Against "good QBs" last year, the only time the defensive unit allowed more than 28 points was against BAL (when Jones had a meltdown and NE turned the ball over 4 times late in the game). The offense and special teams allowed plenty of points last year . . . not sure that the starting defense should get demerits for that. The defense allowed 21 and 24 points to Josh Allen and the Bills offense. Cousins scored 26 points and Burrow scored 22. In the one game they played against Tua-Tyreek-Waddle, the MIA offense scored 17 points. The following week, Tua had 469/6 against the Ravens. With the NE offense not really able to score 20 points, that's the main reason they lost those games. None of that really matters at this point, and we will see how they do moving forward.
He's demonstrably the best wide receiver on this team; second best receiving target after Hunter Henry.
He looks like a good WR on the field but he is hard to trust with how NE seemed to want to use a variety of WRs. The offense looked good last week but one one is not a trend either. Not a bad player to have on your roster and hold for a couple of weeks at a minimum.
Agreed. I liked him as a flex play until JJ and Ramsey returned. Could still do well but it pushed me over edge to bench.

Pick up?? Sure. But starting?? Not yet NEP offense is not the well of fantasy value this season
