I have Tom Brady in my big money league. Tom Brady is an elite quarterback and is tearing it up this season. I am worried about the drop off, not because of Brady's talent but the talent around him dropping like flies. He still has Brandon Lafell, but has lost his top two targets potentially Gronk and Edelman. He also lost Lewis, amendola and Dobson and I m afraid the talent around him is now severely lacking. Brady always got the best out of his wide receivers but Lafell, Martin, Harper etc have been barely on the team and has been dealing with injuries. What is your opinion or outlook on Brady for the fantasy playoffs? I had Brady and gronk, could pick up Russell wilson or Ryan tannehill off the waivers.

I think he'll be alright, but not top 5. Gronk will be back in a week or two. Amendola will come back for one game before getting injured again.

Brady will figure out ways to produce.

I'd pick up Wilson if your current backup isn't better as an insurance policy in case Brady just can't put it together.

Pick up Wilson but I can't imagine not starting Brady anyway. He might not be the Uber stud he's been thus far, but he's still going to be Top 5. He's my only QB in my money league and I've got no plans to even pick somebody up.

Don't get cute going into the playoffs.

Brady has a great match up with Philadelphia this week. I think he is a must start this week

What do you all think about Big Ben vs. Brady ROS. Play match ups each week or roll with one. (season ends in week 17)

I'd play match ups given what the Steelers offense has been doing. Also, Pittsburgh will be fighting for a playoff spot whereas the Pats will have it locked up by Week 17.

The good news is, you'll likely be in great shape no matter who you play at QB.

Thats why I picked him up cause I figured Brady may already be on down time by week 16 / 17 and Big Ben plays the Steelers

- Every time I start Big Ben though I feel like he will be hurt in the second quarter

Injuries are too flukey to predict, so don't sweat it and play the matchup. Good call to pick Ben up too. Keeps a stud QB away from the others and gives you options.

Didn't they cut Martin this week?

Also, don't forget he still has Chandler; obviously not on Gronk's level but a solid receiving TE. Also, I believe Amendola is expected back this week w/ Edelman back next week (may have that flipped). If they get those 2 back, I would not expect to see Gronk back for a few weeks bc they will rather see him healthy for the playoffs.
