Tom Brady injury update: Patriots QB questionable; shouldn’t be any worries for fantasy owners
Brady apparently has an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Week 6. We break down the fantasy implications.

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is dealing with an ankle injury and is listed as questionable for Week 6 against the Buffalo Bills. Brady's injury is new, as he was only added to the injury report on Friday, and the questionable designation is surprising. Then again, the Patriots have a history of strange things appearing on the injury report and they rarely mean anything.
In other words: Brady is going to play on Sunday. It would be incredibly surprising if he missed the game. The Patriots are currently tied with the Bills in the AFC East, and could take sole possession of first place in the division with a win. Buffalo isn’t a great team against the pass and Brady will be looking at a potentially big game.
Fantasy Impact: The Patriots play the Bills in an early game on Sunday, so if fantasy owners are at all concerned with this injury and the questionable designation, they have an opportunity to wait for the inactive list. But it’s really an unnecessary step, as Brady will be in action and working against a vulnerable Buffalo defense.
