Brady throws two TDs, gets sore shoulder

Aug 29, 2009

Tom Brady and Randy Moss appear to have their timing down: The Patriots' first-team offense failed to score a touchdown in the first two weeks of the preseason, but that all changed in the first half against the Redskins. Brady hooked up twice with Moss for touchdowns for the first time since the 2007 season. And after averaging just 2.2 yards per carry over the first two weeks, Laurence Maroney made a more productive start with seven carries for 19 yards and three receptions for 30 yards. While the first team came out to start the third quarter, Brady did not because he suffered what the team deemed a sore throwing shoulder -- the result of a hit from Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
