Fantasy Analysis
Brady didn't lead New England to a win in Super Bowl XLII, but he did earn his MVP award in 2007 by setting an NFL record for touchdown passes in a season with 50. He also ran for two touchdowns and 98 yards to go with 4,806 passing yards versus only eight interceptions. Needless to say, all his passing marks were new career highs. He also added six passing touchdowns, 737 passing yards and three interceptions in three playoff games. He's going to be the No. 1 quarterback taken in all Fantasy leagues in 2008 and rightfully so, especially with Randy Moss re-signing. Although players who lose the Super Bowl traditionally trail off in the ensuing year, the Patriots' offensive machine isn't showing any signs of slowing down. Brady should be a middle-to-late first-round pick in all leagues this summer. . But keep an eye on what happens with WR Randy Moss, who is a free agent this offseason. If Moss returns as expected, Brady will again be a candidate for at least 35 touchdowns and over 4,000 passing yards, well worth a first-round pick. Even without Moss, Brady will still be an elite quarterback and worth taking somewhere in the first two rounds. (Updated 03/31/2008).
