Tom Brady injury update: Patriots QB questionable vs. Jets, for fantasy owners [Update]
Will Tom Brady miss a critical Week 12 game for the Patriots and fantasy owners?
Kelley L Cox-USA TODAY Sports
The New England Patriots are listing Tom Brady as questionable against the new York Jets in Week 12.
Brady is dealing with a knee injury that had him missing Wednesday’s and Thursday’s sessions. He did return Friday, but just for a limited session. He looks very iffy for Sunday, which has a 4:25 p.m. ET game time in New York.
That means you will have to take a chance starting him this week, or risk being left with a backup like Carson Wentz or Alex Smith to start in his place if Brady is inactive.
Fantasy Impact: If Brady starts, Yahoo! ranks him as the top quarterback of Week 12. He would face a Jets defense allowing the second-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks over the last five weeks.
There is still no question you will start Brady if he is active. If Brady is inactive, you can probably find a backup quarterback on the waiver wire to play instead. Smith plays Sunday, while Wentz plays Monday night.
