Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Brandon LaFell's Post-Week 9 Fantasy Reaction

Joseph ZuckerNov 2, 2014

With each passing week, it seems crazier and crazier that anybody questioned Tom Brady and the New England Patriots. The Pats picked up a convincing 43-21 win over the Denver Broncos on Sunday in large part due to Brady and the passing game.    

The veteran QB had a field day against the Denver defense.

Brady had gone a little over a month without an interception, per Mike Reiss of ESPNBoston.com:

One of Brady's favorite receivers Julian Edelman, who also had an 84-yard punt return. Brandon LaFell came back after a slow start to the game to put up some big numbers of his own. You can see their final stats below.

Brandon LaFell613538.81

Brady's fantasy value is largely stagnant after Sunday because everybody knows what to expect from him. He might not get into Andrew Luck/Aaron Rodgers/Peyton Manning-type territory, but he's a must-start every week.

In terms of Brady's targets, Edelman is the more consistent option and fits in as a WR3/flex, but his value is much higher in points-per-reception leagues. LaFell has the higher ceiling, thus remaining a WR2.

Neither will come close to cracking the top 10 as long as Rob Gronkowski is healthy, though.
