Sorry about your QB

There's nothing worse than riding a star player into the fantasy playoffs only to have him fall apart right as you get to the end. So if you've been singing the praises of ever-consistent Tom Brady all season, Sunday was probably the end of that, and the end of your fantasy season as well.

 

Tony Romo's numbers were even worse than Brady's (214 yards and three picks vs  140 and 1 INT) but Romo already had that dreadful six-turnover game against Buffalo earlier this year. For Brady owners, he had been a reliable 20 pts a week, and Sunday's touchdownless game was a giant surprise.

 

Just look at his weekly totals (based on scoring 6 pts per TD, 1 per 25 yards passing and per 10 rushing):

 

Week 1      30.28

Week 2      27.36

Week 3      34.64

Week 4      25.04

Week 5      28.60

Week 6      44.02

Week 7      50.16

Week 8      41.64

Week 9      25.60

Week 11    45.82

Week 12    22.80

Week 13    21.68

Week 14    40.36

 

Week 15    4.50

 

Even with the weather conditions, there is no way you could have predicted that kind of drop-off, especially against the Jets. If you survived this week, you'll likely reap the benefits of an angry Brady next week looking for revenge against the Dolphins.

 

If not, better luck next year.
