Part of the Patriots' problems stem from their shuffling receiving corps.
Danny Amendola has played in just three games due to a lingering groin injury and a concussion suffered two weeks ago. All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski finally made his season debut Sunday in a 30-27 overtime loss to the Jets. And rookie receivers Kenbrell Thompkins,China Football Jerseys, Aaron Dobson and Josh Boyce haven't exactly emerged as trusted targets.
