Brady didn't have the weapons at receiver of past seasons, but made the most of his options and posted his usual solid numbers. His numbers were down a bit, posting his lowest yardage totals since 2001, but he completed 62 percent of his passes and had 24 touchdowns to 12 interceptions. Brady has more than 3,500-passing yards and 23-plus touchdowns in each of his last five seasons. He does a great job of distributing the ball to a host of receives and rarely turns the ball over. Brady has a strong arm and is a very accurate passer.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Brady is a durable, dependable starter. You know you are going to get solid numbers from him. And with a few more weapons at receiver, his numbers could be even better. He'll be one of the first five quarterbacks gone in your draft. Brady is good for 3.500-plus yards and 25 or so touchdowns.
