Tom Brady went 28-for-46 passing for 316 yards, one touchdown and one interception as the New England Patriots fell to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. Brady connected with Rob Gronkowski on a five-yard touchdown pass with 2:06 in the fourth quarter for his only score of the game.

Fantasy Impact: Brady and the Patriots never stay down for long, so expect them to bounce back at some point although their Week 3 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens could be tough. Fantasy owners shouldn't be panicking just because Brady threw for only 316 yards and a touchdown. The future hall-of-famer should still be a weekly starter in just about every fantasy format.
