Why Tom Brady is overrated in fantasy football

Tom Brady can do no wrong ...

... or can he?

After all, the last time we saw him take the field, he failed in his quest in Super Bowl LII to capture a record-extending sixth championship, getting strip-sacked at a most inopportune time with 2:16 remaining to play and virtually clinching a win for the Philadelphia Eagles. And admit it, at the time, you, just as I, thought Brady was destined to author his record-extending fourth fourth-quarter-or-later Super Bowl comeback.

People, Tom Brady is human. He's not some sort of trophy-collecting robot, churning out season after season of 300-plus fantasy points and top-three positional finishes until the sun burns out.
