We all know by know by now that Patriot QB Tom Brady will not be pursing legal options to reverse his four game suspension. What does that mean for you and your team? Well, if you have already drafted and gambled on him playing, you need to find a replacement. Same thing for dynasty leagues. If your lucky enough to have not drafted, don’t be afraid to grab him, just do it much later then normal! That being said, here are some great players that can fill in for your team.
Kirk Cousin | Washington Redskins | ADP 15
Week 1 Match up VSÂ Steelers
Week 2 Match up VS Cowboys
Week 3 Match up VS Giants
Week 4 Match up VS Browns
Analysis: Kirk Cousins played like a top QB last year and was the only QB to throw a touchdown in every single game in 2015. He has the same O-line and weapons available to him this year and he is playing for a massive contract. The Redskins do have a tough first game against the Steelers, but other then that, they aren’t playing any tough defenses.
Jay Cutler | Chicago Bears | ADP 19
Week 1 Match up Vs Texans
Week 2 Match up Vs Eagles
Week 3 Match up Vs Cowboys
Week 4 Match up Vs Lions

Analysis: To me Cutler has always been undervalued. Cutler should be available as a late round pick and only face’s one top rated defense in the the Texans. Cutler improved under head coach John Fox last year and should continue this year with Alshon Jeffery as his top target.
Derek Carr | Oakland Raiders | ADP 12
Week 1 Match up Vs Saints
Week 2 Match up Vs Falcons
Week 3 Match up Vs Titans
Week 4 Match up Vs Ravens
Analysis: I am excited about Carr, he has done amazing things the last few years, and will only continue to do more amazing things. With the makings of a tough defense, while not facing any tough opponents to start out the season, Carr should have a great start to the season and fill in quite well for the missing Tom Brady.
Mathew Stafford | Detroit Lions | ADP 20
Week 1 Match up Vs Colts
Week 2 Match up Vs Titans
Week 3 Match up Vs Packers
Week 4 Match up Vs Bears
Analysis: There are a lot of concerns about Stafford in the post megatron world, however, he is still a more then capable QB. Golden Tate has a great chance to become the top guy and has the talent to keep Stafford looking good. The Lions don’t face many challenges for their first four game so Stafford should work out well.
Matt Ryan | Atlanta Falcons | ADP 22
Week 1 Match up Vs Bucs
Week 2 Match up Vs Raiders
Week 3 Match up Vs Saints
Week 4 Match up Vs Panthers
Analysis: Ryan is a decent replacement. He has a solid line and a Julio Jones and Mohamed Sanu to throw to. However, he is facing 2 tough defenses in the Raiders and Panthers, thus lowering his stock in my books. Make sure you look around if you need to find a replacement. While he should be available late and put up some points for ya, I would only take him as a last resort.
