Tom Brady has only moderate fantasy performance in Week 16

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was held in check by the Jacksonville Jaguars. We break down the fantasy implications.

Melina Vastola-USA TODAY Sports

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady did not have a great game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but did enough to lead the Pats to a 23-16 win. Brady went 24-for-41 with 267 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

With a 73.9 rating, Brady has now had his worst two performances of the season in back-to-back weeks, at least from a rating perspective. He now has eight interceptions on the season, with four of them coming in the last two games.

Fantasy Impact: Last week, Brady’s two interception game was masked by 443 yards passing. This week he didn’t have that luxury. Fantasy owners who have relied on Brady to win them games single-handed may have lost their fantasy championships this week.

Brady plays the Dolphins in Week 17. In his last game against Miami he was limited to 238 yards and one touchdown.
