9. Tom Brady, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Brady continues to do the impossible. After winning a Super Bowl title with the Bucs, he’s not retiring on a high note. Instead, he wants to come back and defend the title. Brady, who played all 16 regular season games and a full run through the playoffs, will undergo a minor surgical procedure on his knee that head coach Bruce Arians has described as “a clean up.” This should not have any impact on a fantasy manager’s decision to draft the greatest quarterback of all time.
Brady finished the season tied with Wilson for second-most passing touchdowns in the league (40). He did throw 12 interceptions, but he was also responsible for producing the third-most passing yards in the NFL (4,616). With weapons like Chris Godwin, Mike Evans, and Antonio Brown, it is hard to imagine anything but repeated success for Brady and the Bucs. They might have the best receiving corps in the NFL, especially if they are able to resign Gronk.
Prediction: 4,500 passing yards, 35 passing touchdowns, 10 interceptions, 100 rushing yards, two rushing touchdowns.
