Who can replace Tom Brady? (Fantasy Football)

 

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 VS  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.
