One of the most unheralded acquisitions after this summers lockout was New Englands signing of Brian Waters. A Pro-Bowl guard in 2010, the veteran lineman has replaced the retired Stephen Neal and has been one of the most consistent producers up front. Waters has been key to both an effective rushing attack (14th overall, 4.6 average ranks eighth) and an effective aerial assault (third overall, 16 pass TD ranks third) that averages 30.8 points per game, fourth in the NFL.

The Islanders have won three straight following an opening-night loss and they have Tavares to thank for the past two. <
