TB QB Tom Brady - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Miami Dolphins

Tom Brady struggled in his return against the Patriots last week, finishing with no touchdowns for the first time this season. He also finished with a season-low 269 yards despite throwing the ball 43 times. It was an off-game for Brady, and the rainy weather probably didn't help. We'd expect him to bounce back this week in an OK matchup against the Dolphins. Brady has finished around 300 passing yards each game and scored at least two touchdowns in his first three games. We'd expect that type of production in Week 5, making him a top 10, nearly top-5 quarterback option this week.

TB QB Tom Brady - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at New England Patriots

Tom Brady threw for a season-high 432 yards last week and finished with two total touchdowns (one passing, one rushing). He also led the Bucs in rushing with 14 yards on the ground, which is a weird sentence to type. This week he gets a revenge game against the Patriots. While the revenge game is a nice factor, it's also important to remember this is a tough matchup. The Patriots have given up the second-fewest passing yards, allowing an average of 180 per game. They also have a tough TD-INT ratio of 3-5 so far this season. But, Brady has scored multiple touchdowns every game while averaging 362.3 pass yards so far. He's been far too good to care too much about matchups. He'll be a top-five QB option in Week 4.

TB QB Tom Brady - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 at Los Angeles Rams

Tom Brady is off to a monster start in his 22nd season. He had four touchdowns in Week 1, and followed that up with five touchdowns in Week 2. He had fewer yards (379 to 276), but cut down his interceptions (2 to 0) for a better game overall. Brady's stock takes a bit of a hit this week, though, as he gets a tough matchup against the Rams and he'll likely be without Antonio Brown. While both of those things are concerning, we still like Brady as a QB1 option this week. He still has Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Rob Gronkowski to throw to. Plus, he's second in total fantasy points scored so far this season. In his game against the Rams last year, Brady finished with 216 passing yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.

TB QB Tom Brady - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Tom Brady started the 2021 season off with a bang, finishing with 379 yards and four touchdowns on 50 pass attempts. Although he had a surprising two interceptions as well. Turnovers aside, this game proves Brady is still more than capable of being a QB1 in fantasy despite his age (44). Mostly because he has an insanely talented receiving corps around him. He gets a favorable matchup this week against the Falcons, a team that allowed 326 total yards and three touchdowns to Jalen Hurts in Week 1. Brady should be viewed as a must-start option in Week 2.

TB QB Tom Brady - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Tom Brady is set to start his 22nd season in the NFL, and he shows no signs of slowing down. He finished with 40 touchdowns last season, his second-most ever in a single season. He gets his primary weapons back in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski. And he even gets a few new targets in Giovani Bernard and the return of O.J. Howard. There's really no reason to dislike Brady heading into this Week 1 matchup at home against the Cowboys. He should be viewed as an easy QB1 play with the potential to finish as a top-five scorer at QB this week.

TB QB Tom Brady - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Tom Brady had a remarkable season last year, finishing with 40 touchdowns, the second-most in any season of his career (plus three more TDs on the ground). He also had 4,633 passing yards, which are his most since 2015. And that’s even with him being benched at times in blowouts, and having his top wide receivers deal with injuries throughout the year. It’s not crazy to expect Brady to have a similar season or an even better one. He gets all of his weapons back, and more. Antonio Brown, who only played in eight games last season, will play the full year. O.J. Howard will return from injury after only playing in four games last year. And the Bucs added a receiving threat at running back in Giovani Bernard.

Fantasy Downside
Brady will be 44 this season, joining just three other quarterbacks in NFL history to play at this age. The other three combined to throw for nine touchdowns to eight interceptions in the season they were 44 years old. Brady also obviously offers no value as a rusher at a time where a number of quarterbacks have mobility, adding an extra floor for their rushing stats.

2021 Bottom Line
While most quarterbacks have their production decline in their 40s, Brady isn’t most quarterbacks. He shined last season finishing top 10 at his position. He was especially strong down the stretch when the Bucs added Brown, and Godwin was healthy. He had a 30:8 TD to INT ratio over his final 11 games (including the playoffs). With the whole squad returning, plus more, we could easily see Brady finish as a top 10 QB again in 2021.

TB QB Tom Brady - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Thankfully the Bucs have something to play for this week, so we can expect Tom Brady to play at full capacity. He's coming off a pair of incredible games as in his last four quarters of play, Brady has 668 passing yards with six touchdowns. We saw the last four quarters instead of the last game because he was so good last week that he was benched at halftime. Expect another strong game from Brady this week as he faces a Falcons defense he tore apart just two weeks ago for 390 yards. Brady is a top 10 QB play in Week 17.
