The Patriots were 2-1 with Hernandez out, averaging 37.6 points per game. With just another talented playmaker to worry about, the Seahawks defense could have a long day ahead of it. Brady already has been spreading the ball around to excruciating levels for fantasy owners, so it's a crapshoot how this will affect the targets of players like Brandon Lloyd and Rob Gronkowski.
It’s still to be seen just how healthy Hernandez is, but even at 15-20 plays, that has to be an encouraging sign for New England.
