Fantasy Tips

[scowan]

Ok, fantasy advice,... is it time to trade Tom Brady now that he has lost Moss? Or will his production be about the same, just throwing to more guys. Obviously he didn't do much Monday, because he didn't have to with the Pats D and Special Teams. What do you guys think? Oh, I have Kyle Orton as my back-up, whom I could easily ride for awhile.

I still think you ride him out... Miami's defense is really good this season and like you said, NE's special teams did much of the work (remember, Brady could have had a second td if Moss caught the short pass in the end zone and if chung didn't run that blocked punt in, that could have very easily turned into a Brady score).

Also, Brady had success through the air before moss... with guys like Branch and Patterson as his weapons. He'll be able to spread the ball out and it looks like Ben Tate may be serviceable. The receivers won't get the solo coverage they enjoyed without Moss, however.
