Breakdown Tom Brady

    Overview

  • A good quarterback can mean the world of difference in such a pass heavy league.
  • Experts don't even rank him among QB's. Either he is on a bye week or is just plain bad. Based on his stats from the past 30 days, he is currently ranked 11th with 293.70 total points (16.32 avg).
  • Currently 143.82 points behind the leader: Josh Allen
  • Average points in the past two weeks have increased by 5.7 PPG. If you don't have the confidence he can keep it up, then trade him for a sure thing.

    • QB Stats

  • Top 3 in pass yards with 5045 (280.28 per game) and is currently ranked 2nd among QB.
  • Top 10 in pass tds with 27 (1.50 per game) and is currently ranked 9th among QB.
