Would Tom Brady be a good pick at quarterback this year in fantasy football?

Question

Should people be worried about his foot injury

Answer 1

WOO!!! You bet!!! He is the best QB with the most weapons in the league, expect another 300+ point performance. If you are later in the draft, and many RBs are taken, then go for brady. He has been resting for a while so his foot will be fine. He will have another great year with such a good O-line and targets like moss, welker, gaffney, and maroney as a back. Brady will have another great year. I'd try to get him if you're later than 5th in the draft, good luck.

Answer 2

no he would be horrible why would you want a guy who throws for 50 TD's and whose team does nothing but throw. You are playing bizarro fantasy football where you get negative points for touchdowns right?

Answer 3

he would be the best but don't even think about wasting a round one pick on him.  I think you can get guys pretty close to his status in the later rounds so in my mind he is over rated.  Everyone is gunning for him

Answer 4

While your question is a little vague, he is still the top fantasy QB in the league...and by a good amount.

Do NOT expect Brady to throw 50 TD's again.  It's not realistic because the running game started very slowly last year which forced Brady to throw in bunches early on.  However, over the 2nd half of the season, Brady and Brees threw the same amount of TD's last season.

I would be a little concerned over the foot, but he should definitely start week 1.  The biggest issue I would be concerned with is how teams will copy the Giants defensive philosophy from the S.B. which will cause Brady's numbers to slip...a little bit.

Still expect 4000+ yards and about 40 TD's.  Still excellent numbers, but nowhere near as good as last year.

Answer 5

If you are expecting another 50 TD season then I think you will be disappointed but Brady will still be an elite fantasy QB this season.

This year, just like after Peyton Manning's 49 TD season, Brady will be drafted with the 1st pick or in the top 5. I think that is a stretch because RBs win fantasy championships & you need to play 2 of them in MOST leagues. If you pick 1 or 2 in a 10 team league the stud RBs will be gone & you will end up w/ a Graham / Jacobs backfield. not exactly what you will need to compete for the league title.

I wouldn't worry about Brady's foot, Belichick is the master of head games & the media needs something NFL to talk about in a boring preseason.
