The difference between winning and losing in fantasy sports is knowing when to fade players coming off career seasons while also reading between the lines on injured players. Here’s my list of bust players and my fade list:
Quarterback
Tom Brady, Buccaneers
At age 43, Brady had the best opportunity (719 attempts) of his career passing the ball. His play has been exceptional in Tampa, but he lost his good friend Rob Gronkowski, and Chris Godwin is coming off a significant injury. As a result, his potential downturn in production is priced into his ranking (12th) at quarterback in the NFFC. I’m sure Brady will find a way to pass for over 4,000 yards with 30 scores, but he won’t finish as an edge at his position. At some point, the wheels will come off his excellent NFL resume.
