Fantasy Fix: Don't panic yet Brady Bunch

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady didn’t hide his frustrations Thursday night. It’s difficult to do in front of 68,000 fans and several million more watching on live TV as Brady dropped f-bombs while his receivers dropped passes. While the Pats may be 2-0 in the real football world, those of you that live and die in the fantasy world may be starting to panic. Don’t.

Tom Brady was 19 of 39 passing for 185 yards, one touchdown and just 11.20 fantasy points, his worst totals since 2010. Through two games Brady has thrown for 473 yards and three TD’s for a grand total of 27.32 fantasy points. Those numbers might look good if they were Christian Ponder’s, but this is THE Tom Brady. The same Tom Brady that put up 4,827 yards, 38 touchdowns and a third best 348 fantasy points last season.

It’s obvious with Danny Amendola and Shane Vereen broken, Rob Gronkowski still recovering from multiple surgeries, Wes Welker living it up in Denver, Brandon Lloyd playing Monopoly with Billy Bibbet and Aaron Hernandez the property of the State of Massachusetts that Brady has a real lack of weapons.

The current Patriots receiving corps consists of the brittle Amendola, former college quarterback Julian Edelman, the unpronounceable Michael Hoomanawanui and two rookies — Aaron Dropson and Kenbrell Dropkins. This is not the Greatest Show on Turf.

Edelman has been the one to emerge thus far. Edelman has 20 catches on 27 targets, 157 yards and two touchdowns. He is a must own in fantasy, especially in PPR Leagues.

It is not all doom and gloom, fantasy ballers. Don’t bail on Brady just yet. Gronk, Amendola and Vereen will return. Tom Terrifc has a way of turning chicken bleep into chicken salad. Brady made a no-name wideout named Welker into a snow globe living All-Pro and won Super Bowls with the likes of Deion Branch, David Givens and David Patton. Give these rookies time and Brady will make them winners. Brady has 14-years of proof on his resume.

Come in off the ledge Brady owners. The Fantasy Football season is a long and lonely grind, now is not the time to hit the panic button.
