The Patriots have a tough matchup coming against the Bills on Monday Night Football. For this game they won't have their budding superstar RB/human highlight reel and their most reliable receiver. For the Patriots, it's Next Man Up and the guys already contributing may have to contribute a bit more to the team's cause.
Brandon LaFell: With the injuries surrounding the receiver position, one man that needs to step up is Brandon LaFell. He had a good showing against the Dolphins and Redskins, but he needs to make that more regular. LaFell will likely either get matched up against Ronald Darby or Stephon Gilmore on the outside, but could make for a tough matchup if they line him up in the slot against Nickell Robey.
