Patriots-Colts fantasy projections featuring Ahmad Bradshaw, T.Y. Hilton, Rob Gronkowski

We break down the Week 11 matchup between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts.

The Week 11 matchup between the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts should see a lot of points on the scoreboard. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

New England Patriots

Ever since a disastrous Week 4 loss at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Tom Brady has looked like the Tom Brady of old. One could even make a case for an MVP award. Brady's fantasy owners have to be breathing a sigh of relief over the past month, that's for sure. For owners who still need to battle for a playoff spot in their league, a matchup against the Colts couldn't have come at a better time. Both Brady and his numerical counterpart Andrew Luck should be slinging the rock in a Sunday night matchup that is sure to see its share of fireworks. Where there are fireworks, of course, there are plenty of fantasy points to be had as well.

Some of those points will be a result of big plays made by tight end Rob Gronkowski. Much like his quarterback, Gronk had a slow start to the season. In the last two weeks, however, Brady's favorite target has 18 catches for 254 yards and four touchdowns. That's an incredible level of production that although not necessarily sustainable over the rest of the season could very well continue against the Colts in Week 11. Fantasy owners have no reason not to have this guy in their lineups.

Indianapolis Colts

The Colts have had arguably the most dangerous passing offense in the NFL this season. While part of that has to do with the fact the team calls a passing play on a league-leading 64 percent of plays from scrimmage, it's no secret that Andrew Luck's MVP level of play this season is also huge reason for that. The man has 754 yards passing and seven touchdowns just in the last two weeks, and while the Patriots do have the ability to contain quarterbacks -- as they showed against Peyton Manning and the Broncos two weeks ago -- it will be tough to do the same thing two out of three weeks.

The more likely scenario is that both Luck and Brady post fantastic fantasy numbers and the team to score last will probably win the game. In the case of the Colts, that probably means Luck will seek out T.Y. Hilton when he decides to go long. Hilton could only manage three catches last week but did total 71 yards and a touchdown against the New York Giants. The speedy wide receiver has 556 receiving yards and three touchdowns in the team's last four games, which represents arguably the best stretch of his young career. Darrelle Revis will no doubt draw the assignment of covering Hilton for the Patriots, but the receiver is still way too talented to sit on the bench at the moment.
