New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady had an awful start to the season, but he's suddenly turned it around. It could be due to tight end Rob Gronkowski getting more snaps or perhaps he's getting on the same page with guys like receiver Brandon LaFell. On top of that, running back Stevan Ridley is out for the year, so the Pats will have to air it out more. Whatever it is, he's back.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Tom Brady
Brady has turned in a couple good games in a row. Will he get another one for his patient fantasy owners on Sunday?

Brady has thrown seven touchdown passes in the past two weeks and averaged over 300 yards per game in that span. He started out the season with only one passing TD in each of his first games, so this was basically a 180-degree turn.
This week, he gets a nice matchup against the Chicago Bears. The Bears were just torched by Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill and rank just 20th in fantasy points allowed to fantasy quarterbacks.
Fantasy impact: He’s at home, has momentum, and is in a good matchup. That’s pretty much all you need to hear about starting him.
