Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots

FanDuel Price: $9,200
Projected Points: 23.8

Tom Brady disappointed in Week 1, completing just 44% of his passes for 267 yards and a total of 10.68 FanDuel points. He managed a measly 0.07 Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back after ranking second in the league with 0.35 Passing NEP per drop back last season.

Luckily, he has an excellent opportunity to bounce back against the porous New Orleans Saints' defense, one that allowed Sam Bradford to rack up 346 yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 1. That came on the heels of the Saints allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks last season. In half of their games in 2016, they allowed the opposing quarterback to pass for more than 300 yards.

That matchup rightfully makes way for the New England Patriots to have the highest implied total of any team this week at 31.5 points. Playing in what is expected to be the highest scoring game of the week, we project Brady to score more FanDuel points than any other player.
