Quarterback: Tom Brady

Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots
25 for 38, 406 Yards, 3 Touchdowns, 1 INT
Performance: 89, NEP: +16.91

The New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens games have developed quite the rivalry over the past few years, and this game was another hard-fought battle. Brady was magnificent this week, completing 25 of his 38 drop backs for 406 yards and 3 touchdowns. It was the most passing yards he's thrown since his Week 5 debut.

Brady did a great job of leading his receivers into space and giving them an opportunity to showcase their talents in the open field. Four of his receivers had 70 yards or more receiving. Chris Hogan was able to haul in the biggest play of the game -- a 79-yard touchdown strike -- that added +6.59 to Brady's NEP and helped put the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. Brady now leads all quarterbacks in Pass NEP per play and ranks sixth in Total NEP so far this season.

Brady's three-touchdown outing helped propel him to the top of the fantasy leaderboards, ranking as the top fantasy quarterback (standard scoring) in Week 14. Only three quarterbacks have more top-six finishes this season than Brady, despite Brady missing the first four games of the season.
