Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell, James White's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Advice

The New England Patriots' quest for perfection continues.

After a tough defensive battle in the chilly confines of Gillette Stadium, the Patriots improved to 10-0 with a 20-13 win over the Buffalo Bills on Monday night.

It was an off night for Tom Brady, who threw for 277 yards and completed just over 50 percent of his passes, but he got plenty of offensive help along the way.

Let's take a look at the nights from Danny Amendola, Brandon LaFell and James White.

It's taken longer than expected, but the injury to Julian Edelman has paved the way for Amendola to become the receiver the Patriots have long hoped for.

Amendola has now caught 19 passes in his last two games. In the four games prior, he only recorded 20 catches combined.

He's clearly stepped into the No. 1 receiver slot with no trouble and has become the reliable target Brady needs down the stretch. Not only is Amendola catching passes, he's doing it efficiently. He was targeted 12 times on Monday night.

It was the second time this year, first since Week 6, that Amendola eclipsed the century mark in receiving yards, and seventh in his career, per Tom Leyden of Fox 25 in Boston.

As long as the targets are high, Amendola is going to be heavily involved in the Patriots offense. The only things lacking are touchdowns, but the time will come when Brady gets Amendola some touches in the red zone. He did leave Monday's game with a knee injury and didn't return, per the Patriots. However, the severity of the injury is not yet known.

Amendola's stock continues to grow, and it's time to consider using him as a flex option or as high as a WR2.

Brandon LaFell

After reeling in 102 yards against the Washington Redskins, LaFell has been quiet the last two weeks with his second straight 66-yard performance on Monday night.

LaFell had a great chance to establish himself in the Patriots offense when Edelman went down, but it's clear that Brady's focus has gone more to Amendola, which also means that LaFell becomes the third option.

He also had a great opportunity to make a larger impact on Monday's game once Aaron Dobson left the game with an ankle injury, but he didn't take advantage. Nathan Jahnke of Pro Football Focus showed just how much LaFell was on the field after Dobson went down:

To play 43 of the final 43 snaps and record four catches is a problem. LaFell has played his way out of fantasy lineups until he's proven that he can make a bigger impact.

James White

2	46	2	16

Speaking of players being asked to step up due to injuries, White has taken advantage of that opportunity.

White's 16 points led all Patriots players in ESPN leagues on Monday and caught the only touchdown that Brady threw. He also ran for the Patriots' other touchdown in the win.

LeGarrette Blount is the featured back until further notice, but White's versatility out of the backfield makes him a weapon the Patriots could use. If New England is looking for someone to replace the production lost from Dion Lewis, White has proven he could be that guy.

NEPatriotsDraft.com analyst Mike Loyko thought White was a major bright spot in a rough night for New England:

If you're lacking on touchdowns, White could be a legitimate waiver-wire pickup. One game is too small a sample size to think he'll continue this production in the long haul, but it doesn't hurt to pick him up and see what happens.
