BenJarvus Green-Ellis has been disappointing the last month to put it mildly. His last 5 games he is averaging just over four fantasy points per game in standard scoring. Even last night against the Chiefs he could only muster 10 points. The one thing about the Monday night game though was that the Patriots were up and the Law Firm got 20 carries and even a couple looks in the passing game. When you look at the schedule moving forward the Patriots play the Eagles, Colts, Redskins, Broncos, Dolphins and finally the Bills in Week 17. I would expect only the Eagles game to be somewhat close meaning garbage time for Green-Ellis to clean up and close out games. The Eagles are 25th worst against the pass and you can also expect the Patriots to realize they may have an easier time running through Philly rather than throwing against their secondary. TDs have been also lost from the BGE repertoire lately, but as the weather gets colder look for Brady to hand off a few more times and punch it in rather than throwing the rock all around. With trade deadlines most likely wrapping up this week make a last minute play for BenJarvus and flex him into the playoffs.
