Mohamed Sanu, WR

Mohamed Sanu may be a player chosen every week because of his size and what he gives Tom Brady and the New England Patriots offense.

More from New England Patriots

A veteran receiver, who is known for his toughness and route-running, Sanu already showed he can shine catching the ball from Brady with his 10-catch performance against the Baltimore Ravens in just his second game with the team.

With more practice under his belt, expect Brady to turn to Mohamed Sanu even more as a quick outlet option, especially with Julian Edelman also on the field.

Knowing that the Philadelphia Eagles are pretty weak in the secondary, Patriots offensive coordinator will design plays to take advantage of the secondary.  You know Tom Brady will take a shot or two to either Phillip Dorsett or Edelman deep.

But, it will all start with getting something established underneath and that is where Mohamed Sanu will step up big in this game.

He may not have the 10 catches, but he will rack up receiving yards as he continues to establish more chemistry with Brady.
