Brady completed 24 of 33 passes for 250 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 38-3 win over the Jets. He finishes the regular season with 4,355 yards and a 29:11 touchdown to interception ratio.
EDGE Analysis
Brady's team was in control throughout in a game they needed to win to secure a first-round bye. He comes up short of the 30-touchdown mark for just the third time in the past nine seasons, but fantasy owners who invested in Brady on draft day largely got what they were expecting from him. Owners in dynasty formats should start lining up alternatives for the 41-year-old, though, as Father Time could lend a critical blow at any moment.

Brady plans to continue his career into 2019 and beyond, ESPN.com's Mike Reiss reports. "I have goals to not only play next year, but beyond that," Brady said Wednesday in his weekly interview on Westwood One. "I'm going to try to do it as best I possibly can. I'm going to give it everything I have, like I always have."
EDGE Analysis
Brady has been consistent about his desire to play well into his 40s and isn't going to change his mind after a rough couple of weeks. He downplayed the significance of a knee injury that landed him on the injury report Weeks 12-14, saying he isn't dealing with anything beyond the normal bumps and bruises that come standard with life in the NFL. He has a good chance to finish his regular season on a high note, with New England playing host to the Jets in Week 17. A victory ensures the Patriots of a first-round bye, while a loss could drop them as low as No. 4 in the AFC seeding.

Brady wouldn't confirm that he was dealing with an injury when asked Monday on the "Mut & Callahan" radio program on WEEI Boston if he was nursing a partially torn MCL in his knee, Zack Cox of NESN.com reports. "I'm not getting into specifics of any injuries," Brady said. "It just doesn't make any sense."
EDGE Analysis
After a dominant showing against the Dolphins in Week 14, Brady's performance has regressed over the past two contests, with the veteran signal-caller completing only 63.3 percent of his passes for 6.8 yards per attempt and a 2:3 TD:INT over that span. With New England establishing an early lead in Sunday's game against the Bills, the team followed a run-heavy game plan, which contributed to Brady turning in season lows in completions, attempts and passing yardage. It's unclear if any undisclosed injury is at the root of his struggles, but since Brady played every offensive snap Sunday, the expectation is that he'll be ready to go for Week 17 and any additional playoff contests that follow. The Patriots could elect to limit Brady's usage in practices this week, however, so don't be surprised if he pops up on the team's injury report once Wednesday arrives.

Brady completed 13 of 24 passes for 126 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 24-12 win over Buffalo.
EDGE Analysis
Brady couldn't get much going against the stout Buffalo secondary, as he had just 73 yards and two interceptions on his first 18 throws before finding Julian Edelman for a 32-yard touchdown on fourth down with 5:05 left in the third quarter. With a first-round bye hanging in the balance, look for Brady to step up at home against the Jets in Week 17.

Brady completed 25 of 36 passes for 279 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Patriots' 17-10 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Although his final line was certainly solid save for his one interception, Brady couldn't put together one of his trademark late-game comebacks against a Steelers defense that stiffened when it mattered most. The future Hall of Famer gave up the ball on downs on the Patriots' final drive, throwing three straight incompletions - a fourth was nullified by a New England penalty -- from Pittsburgh's 21-yard line. Prior to that series, Brady suffered an interception on an uncharacteristically careless throw off his back foot from the Steelers' 16-yard line and the Patriots down only four. Needless to say, the fourth-quarter stumbles were a rarity for Brady, and he'll look to bounce back in a divisional rematch against the stingy Bills secondary at home in Week 16.

Brady has "zero concern" with regard to the knee issue that has had him listed on the Patriots' injury report at times over the last three weeks, NESN's Mike Cole reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brady briefly needed medical attention during Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but he didn't miss a snap in the game and downplayed the issue afterward. "I think my knee brace just grabbed, and it dug in the wrong spot," the QB noted Monday. "There's no concern." Though the Patriots lost in improbable last-play fashion in Week 14, Brady did his part, throwing for a season-high 358 yards and tossing three TDs versus zero picks. He'll look to help his team get back on the winning track in this weekend's road game against the Steelers, who have dropped three straight contests.

Brady completed 27 of 43 passes for 358 yards and three touchdowns during Sunday's 34-33 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Brady broke out of his second-half slump in a big way Sunday, amassing a season-high output in passing yardage while compiling three touchdown passes for the first time since Oct. 21 (four touchdown passes over his previous five games combined entering Week 14). It's been a brutal stretch for those who invested an early-round selection in Brady, as he finished outside of the top 15 quarterbacks in standard scoring formats over each of his past five games entering Sunday, with an average finish of QB18 over that span (Weeks 8 to 13). It's a tough remaining slate for the fantasy postseason, starting with a matchup against Pittsburgh's top 10 pass defense in Week 15 (228.5 yards allowed per game).

Brady (knee) has been removed from the Patriots' Week 14 injury report, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brady is thus good to go for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. The veteran QB's overall stats aren't eye-popping; his 3,342 passing yards in 12 games are ninth in the league, but Brady -- who has logged a 20:8 TD:INT ratio in that span -- maintains a decent enough fantasy floor while helming a well-coached offense with a variety of capable pass-catching weapons.

Brady (knee) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brady is in no danger of missing Sunday's game against the Dolphins, and there's a decent chance that he won't carry an injury designation for that contest once Friday's final Week 14 injury report is released.

Brady completed 24 of 32 pass attempts for 311 yards, one touchdown and one interception during Sunday's 24-10 win over the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Brady completed 75 percent of his passes and connected with nine different receivers while averaging a healthy 9.3 yards per attempt. He threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to Josh Gordon to go ahead in the third quarter, but he nearly helped Minnesota back into the game by throwing an interception on the next drive. Brady could've enjoyed a better day, but the Patriots chose to hand off to James Develin for a pair of short touchdowns, rather than attack via the pass. The veteran now has just four touchdown passes over the last five games and has seen his fantasy stock take a hit due to his team's propensity for running the ball in the red zone. He'll look to bounce back next Sunday against the Dolphins.
