New England Patriots

The New England defense will be a superb option in Week 17 if Brady Cook makes another start for the Jets. If Tyrod Taylor returns from a groin injury and starts for the Jets against the Patriots, the New England defense will be a viable but less attractive Week 17 option. The Pats have a top-10 fantasy defense after all. But a matchup against Cook would be absolutely delicious. The rookie from Missouri has started the last two games, throwing four interceptions and taking 11 sacks. Taylor was healthy enough to serve as Cook's backup in Week 16, so it's possible he is back this week. But the Jets have nothing to play for other than draft position, so they might elect to keep Taylor sidelined as they play out the string.
