Chris Hogan
If there is ever a time for Chris Hogan to have a big game, it will be now.
While former New England Patriots wide receiver Danny Amendola and current teammate Julian Edelman have made names for themselves as big playoff performers, Hogan has had a knack for having big games in the postseason as well.

Let’s not forget that 180-yard receiving game he had against the Pittsburgh Steelers in the AFC Championship back in 2017. With key catches in Super Bowl LI and Super Bowl LII, Hogan is a playmaker Tom Brady usually finds.
So, in other words, Chris Hogan is due for one of those big performances. Going against a Kansas City defense that has struggled in the secondary, this is exactly the kind of game where Hogan will be the open man, especially with emphasis on Julian Edelman, James White and Rob Gronkowski whenever he goes out for passes.
Particularly, watch Hogan in red zone situations. He is typically that wide receiver Brady finds in the back of the end zone, especially when he has some time to throw in the pocket.
