Tom Brady QB ($7500)

One NFL executive said that Brady is going to kill the league now that he is back. Well I expect the same. Brady is going to be playing with some anger and the poor Browns are his next opponent. The Browns have a mediocre defense and I expect Brady to throw early and often as they try destroy and blow-out every single team they are playing. Brady is a must-start this week.

Melvin Gordon RB ($7000)

Gordon has become a stud since the Woodhead injury. He has had at least 17 fantasy points in every game this year. The Raiders have struggled to stop the run and the Chargers consistently give the ball to Gordon. He has had at least 20 touches and gets all the red zone touches out of the backfield, which is a very good recipe for success. Gordon has become a must-start every week.

Antonio Brown WR ($9800)

Brown maybe the highest salary WR but he has a juicy match-up this week. The Jets secondary has been torched through the first four weeks and on top of that Revis is doubtful to play this week. Brown is going to have a field-day and with Bell back, Brown will get lots of single coverage. If there is one receiver I am spending up for this week, Brown is the guy.
