Brady completed 22 of 27 passes for 348 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 47-7 win over the Lions on Saturday. He was replaced by Blaine Gabbert to start the second half.
EDGE Analysis
The dominance of Brady and his offensive teammates was such that the future Hall of Famer's presence was only required for one record-setting half. Brady's passing yards were the most of any first half in his career and spearheaded a new Buccaneers team record of 410 total first-half yards as well. Additionally, the 43-year-old became the only other quarterback besides Baker Mayfield with four scoring tosses in a half this season, and his 36 touchdown passes on the campaign equal his best figure in that category since 2011. Brady notably spread the wealth as well, with his end-zone connections occurring with the quartet of Rob Gronkowski, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown. With a postseason berth now officially in hand, Brady will look to tune up for what he and the Bucs hope will be a deep playoff run in a Week 17 home divisional battle against the Falcons.

Brady completed 31 of 45 passes for 390 yards and two touchdowns with no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 31-27 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also netted minus-2 yards on two rushes.
EDGE Analysis
Down 17-0 at the half, the Buccaneers unsurprisingly came out aggressive after halftime to the benefit of Brady's numbers. The future Hall of Famer finished with a season-high yardage figure while throwing multiple touchdown passes for the fifth consecutive contest. Brady finally connected with Antonio Brown for a score as well, with their 46-yard connection with 6:19 remaining proving to be the difference in the contest. The 21-year veteran now has five 300-yard efforts on the campaign and will look to carry over the momentum in a Saturday afternoon matchup against the Lions.

Brady completed 15 of 23 passes for 196 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 26-14 win over the Vikings on Sunday. He also netted minus-2 yards on three rushes.
EDGE Analysis
Coming out of a bye week where Brady and coach Bruce Arians had to deal with plenty of questions about the future Hall of Famer's uneven performance thus far in the offense, the legendary signal-caller didn't exactly dispel his doubters with his numbers, and he missed a couple of open receivers by a fairly wide margin in the first half as well. However, the 21-year veteran progressively settled in and eventually connected with Scotty Miller and Rob Gronkowski for his pair of scoring tosses. Brady curiously didn't target any pass catcher more than five times while putting up a season-low number of attempts, but he still extended a streak of multiple touchdown passes to four games. Having righted the ship to an extent on both an individual and team level after losing two straight, Brady will look to parlay the momentum into even better numbers in a favorable matchup against the division-rival Falcons in Week 15.

Brady completed 27 of 41 passes for 345 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Buccaneers' 27-24 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also lost a yard on his one rush.
EDGE Analysis
Brady's final line was solid from a fantasy perspective, though he only began to really hit his stride in the latter stages of the first half. The 21-year veteran broke the ice with a 37-yard scoring toss to Ronald Jones, and he then made things interesting with a pair of touchdown passes to Mike Evans in the fourth quarter. However, ball security also continued to be an issue, with Brady short-circuiting a pair of third-quarter drives with interceptions. The future Hall of Famer did at least finish the game with some momentum by spearheading 75- and 73-yard scoring marches, and it remains to be seen if he'll be able to carry over the momentum into a Week 14 home battle against the Vikings following a Week 13 bye.

Brady completed 26 of 48 passes for 216 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in Monday night's 27-24 loss to the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Brady struggled stretching the field and dealing with pressure over the course of Monday's contest against an impressive Rams defense. Along with having another would-be interception dropped, Brady set new season lows in yards per passing attempt (4.5) and completion percentage (54.2). That came while throwing it more times than any other game this term, as the Bucs were stymied on the ground as well. On the bright side, Brady showed continued chemistry with Antonio Brown and got both Mike Evans and Chris Godwin touchdowns, representing building blocks ahead of an enticing Week 12 meeting with the Chiefs.

Brady completed 28 of 39 passes for 341 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 46-23 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also rushed twice for two yards and another score.
EDGE Analysis
Looking to put an embarrassing 38-3 loss to the Saints behind them, Brady and his teammates got off on the wrong foot when Ronald Jones lost a fumble on the Buccaneers' second play from scrimmage. However, the future Hall of Fame signal-caller eventually got his team settled down with a 10-play, 75-yard scoring march, and he spearheaded another pair of 70-plus-yard drives that culminated in 10 additional points before halftime. Brady appeared to have a bit too much mustard on the ball on a few occasions, but he still managed to record at least four touchdowns for the third time on the campaign. The 21-year veteran also encouragingly distributed the ball around effectively to his top receiver trio, hitting Chris Godwin, Mike Evans and Antonio Brown for 19 of his 28 completions. Brady and the Bucs will look to carry over Sunday's momentum into a Week 11 Monday night showdown against the Rams.

Brady completed 22 of 38 pass attempts for 209 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 38-3 loss to the Saints.
EDGE Analysis
This was quite possibly the worst performance of Brady's illustrious career. Coach Bruce Arians and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich could not scheme up anything against the Saints' defense. The handful of times a Buccaneer receiver beat his assignment, Brady simply failed to hit his targets in stride, resulting in ugly drops and three interceptions. The future Hall of Famer entered the contest with a 66.2 completion percentage and a 20:4 TD:INT, so as his former coach says, it's "on to the next game" for those with shares in any Tampa Bay offensive players. Brady will get a strong opportunity to make up for this dud in a favorable matchup against Carolina's 20th-ranked passing defense Sunday.

Brady completed 28 of 40 passes for 279 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 25-23 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Brady and the Bucs endured a slow start but picked things up after halftime. The quarterback found long-time target Rob Gronkowski for a three-yard touchdown midway through the third, then took the lead again with an eight-yard score to Mike Evans in the fourth. In doing so, Brady brought his season touchdown tally to 20 while going a fourth straight game without an interception. With now three consecutive wins as well, Brady is in stellar form ahead of Sunday's night's showdown against Drew Brees and the Saints.

Brady completed 33 of 45 passes for 369 yards with four touchdowns and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 45-20 win over the Raiders on Sunday. He also scored a one-yard rushing touchdown on his only carry.
EDGE Analysis
Brady was masterful in putting together his second 369-yard effort of the campaign, completing a season-best 73.3 percent of his attempts in the process. The future Hall of Famer spread the wealth Sunday, hitting Rob Gronkowski, Scotty Miller, Chris Godwin and Tyler Johnson from five, 33, four and one yard, respectively, for his quartet of scoring throws. Prior to his aerial assault, he opened the scoring for the Buccaneers with his one-yard sneak to cap off a 10-play, 77-yard first-quarter drive. Brady won't yet have the services of Antonio Brown (suspension) in a Week 8 Monday night, Nov. 2 matchup against the Giants, but given how he's proven capable of thriving with his existing weapons when they're at full strength, the fantasy ceiling for the 21-year veteran and the Tampa offense in general may be virtually limitless if the mercurial receiver lives up to his stellar on-field reputation.

Brady isn't practicing Wednesday, but he's out on the field with his teammates and the team has confirmed his lack of participation isn't related to injury, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A Brady absence of any kind is naturally always newsworthy, but Laine's report assuages any fears of the future Hall of Famer being beset by injury. Brady is coming off his lowest passing yardage total of the season (166) in a win over the Packers, but one that was complemented by two touchdowns and no interceptions in a comfortable 38-10 win for the Buccaneers.
