5 Quarterbacks You Shouldn't Draft in Fantasy Football This Year

Tom Brady, New England Patriots

Okay, so we don't yet know how long Brady will be suspended. Given that Greg Hardy saw his suspension reduced to just four games, it would be highly, highly unlikely that Tom Brady also sat out four games.

But we don't yet know that, and to draft Brady at his current price is to take on unnecessary risk.

As of now, our projections peg Brady for 462 attempts, which would be the fewest he has thrown since 2001 (if you exclude 2008). 2001, of course, was Brady's first season in charge, and he threw 413 times.

So is Brady worth being drafted as the 11th quarterback off the board? Not at the current projection. Brady is expected to tally 3,461.6 yards and 23.0 touchdowns as of now.

If the suspension is reduced to one or two games or if it's erased entirely, then it's a bit of a different story. But if Brady is out four games, then he will have a hard time paying off his price tag, and you'll be burning a roster spot all the while.
