Brady has yet to miss any playing time this season, and at this point has earned the right to take a rest when he needs it. He certainly knows the offense well enough. Brady is putting up MVP-caliber numbers once again, with 4,276 yards passing through 14 games, and 30 touchdown pass to just six interceptions.
Fantasy Impact: There shouldn't have been much panic over Brady's absence, but fantasy owners with any lingering worry can now sleep soundly. He will play Sunday against the Jacksonville Jaguars, a prime matchup for anyone lucky enough to own Brady this season. He is a must-start, as usual.
