T. Brady - QB

Tom Brady has an adjusted completion rate of 68.6 percent over his three 2021 postseason games.

That marks a 6.5-point drop from his regular season adjusted completion rate, which accounts for throw aways, drops, spiked balls, batted passes, and passes where the quarterback was hit while he threw the ball, per Pro Football Focus. Only Russell Wilson -- who only played one playoff game -- has a lower adjusted completion rate this postseason. Brady and the Bucs made it out of Green Bay with a Super Bowl berth despite his three interceptions to go along with three touchdown tosses against one of the league's top secondaries. Brady hasn't gotten much help from his pass catchers, who have recorded a dozen drops in three postseason contests (the adjusted completion rate accounts for drops). The 43 year old's accuracy issues could pose problems for the Bucs offense in the Super Bowl against a Kansas City secondary that allowed the league's fourth lowest completion rate in 2020.

T. Brady - QB

Tom Brady completed 20-of-36 passes for 280 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions in the Bucs' 31-26, NFC Championship Game win over the Packers.

Well that settles (insert debate here). Brady's record-shattering 10th Super Bowl appearance will also be the first time a team has hosted the championship game in their home stadium. Practically flawless in the first half in Green Bay, Brady nearly gave the game away after the break, where he tossed all three of his interceptions. He went from excellent to flat-out bad, something he will have two weeks to chew on as he prepares to face either the Chiefs or Bills. Missing Antonio Brown today, Brady made up for AB's loss by finding Tyler Johnson and Scotty Miller for big plays, including a 39-yard touchdown strike to Miller. Brady and the Bucs were rocky in their November loss to Patrick Mahomes' squad, yet they somehow almost pulled that one out, too. They did not face the Bills this season.

Tom Brady completed 18-of-33 passes for 199 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs' 30-20, Divisional Round win over the Saints.

He also rushed for a one-yard touchdown on a QB sneak in the fourth quarter following a Devin White interception, and it staked the Bucs to a commanding 30-20 lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Both Brady and Drew Brees struggled to move the ball most of the night, but it was Brady who came up with the needed big plays and took care of the football. His two touchdowns were a three-yarder to Mike Evans for Evans' only catch of the game, and the second was a six-yard hookup with Leonard Fournette. Brady and the Bucs will head to Green Bay next Sunday for the NFC title and a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. It will be Brady's 14th conference championship game.

T. Brady - QB

Tom Brady completed 22-of-40 passes for 381 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs' Wild Card win over Washington.

As normal, Brady was a constant chain mover and avoided mistakes for all four quarters. He was under pressure in the second half after losing his starting right guard, but the Bucs offense looked fine overall despite Washington's front four and Ronald Jones' unexpected absence. Brady will be asked to pass a lot in the Divisional Round regardless of opponent. Right now, the Bucs are expected to head to New Orleans.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Tom Brady plans to play in 2021.

Brady is expected to return for the second year of a two-year contract he signed with the Bucs. He'll be 44 in August, but Brady didn't show much dropoff in his first season in Tampa, setting three-year highs in yards (4,633) and touchdowns (40). Brady will count $26.6 million against the cap if he returns in 2021.

Tom Brady completed 26-of-41 passes for 399 yards and four touchdowns in the Bucs' Week 17 win over the Falcons.

Brady's lone interception came on a pass that Scott Miller had in his hands and coughed up to a waiting defender. If it weren't for that mistake on Miller's part, this might have been a perfect day for Brady. He routinely picked apart the Falcons secondary on deep plays including three scores from 25 or more yards out. The biggest concern for the Brady and the Bucs will be Mike Evans' health. Evans was ruled out shortly after going down with a knee injury in the first half. Luckily for Brady, he cleared found a rhythm with Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown, both of whom topped 100 yards and found the end zone. Brady will face off against the winner of the NFC East which will either the Giants or Washington depending on what happens in Washington's Sunday night game.

Tom Brady completed 22-of-27 passes for 348 yards with four touchdowns in Week 16 against the Lions.

Brady was rested to open the second half with the Bucs blowing out Detroit. Before he was pulled, he had a field day against the Lions' injury-depleted secondary, hitting on deep shots to Mike Evans and Rob Gronkowski while adding a pair of red-zone scores. Brady has already set the Bucs' franchise record for touchdown passes, and he's been on his best stretch of the season, with 668 yards and six TDs in his last four quarters. Tampa clinches a playoff spot with their win over Detroit. Brady and the Bucs will close out the regular season against Atlanta in Week 17.

Tom Brady completed 31-of-45 passes for 390 yards and two touchdowns in the Bucs' 31-27, Week 15 win over the Falcons.

It was a tale of two halves for Brady and the Bucs, who went into the break down 17-0. Brady was definitely off in the first 30 minutes, missing open throws and taking some sacks behind a leaky line that was missing LT Donovan Smith. But in true Falcons fashion, the Atlanta defense caved after the half, and Brady found Chris Godwin for a four-yard score and Antonio Brown over the top for a 46-yarder. Mike Evans was also tackled at the one- and six-yard lines ahead of Leonard Fournette rushing scores, so Brady's day could have been even bigger. Brady's 390 yards marked a new season high, and he now gets a juicy Week 16 draw with the Lions, who Ryan Tannehill just blasted for five touchdowns in Week 15.

Tom Brady completed 15-of-23 passes for 196 yards and two touchdowns in Tampa Bay's 26-14 Week 14 win over the Vikings.

Brady's mental clock broke in this one, forcing him to unnecessarily rush throws and sail wide-open receivers on multiple occasions in the first half; it was as if the team learned nothing over the bye through the first quarter. But Brady eventually settled to find Scotty Miller, who burned Chris Jones' coverage for a 48-yard touchdown to lend the Bucs an early 7-6 lead. Brady later tossed his 30th touchdown of the season to Rob Gronkowski for a two-yard score. Vikings K Dan Bailey left 10 points on the board due to three missed field goals and a whiffed extra kick, but Minnesota didn't do anything on defense (especially sans Eric Kendricks) to convince they could have pulled this one off. Week 15 offers Brady another cush matchup (that he can hopefully perform better in) against Atlanta's secondary.

Tom Brady completed 27-of-41 passes for 345 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions in the Bucs' 27-24, Week 12 loss to the Chiefs.

Brady was having another game to forget before somewhat garbage-timing his way to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdown passes to Mike Evans from 31 and seven yards out when Tampa entered the final 15 minutes down 27-10. Brady's other touchdown pass was a 37-yarder to Ronald Jones in the second quarter where Jones did all the work to tightrope the left sideline to the end zone. Brady has now tossed eight interceptions over the last four games after tossing just four total Weeks 1-8. Brady doesn't look quite right at the moment and has five more weeks to get it together before the playoffs, though the Bucs have lost three straight games. Brady gets an easy Week 13 date with the Vikings.

T. Brady - QB

Tom Brady is 0-for-19 on pass attempts of 20-plus yards over the past month.

That's a 0.0 quarterback rating if you're counting at home. It's an area where the stats match the eye test, as Brady has been throwing one wounded dove after another whenever he ventures beyond the second level of the defense. Coach Bruce Arians has said Brady might be confused by the coverages, which, yikes. Despite decent overall statistics, Brady is beginning to look like a weak link on an otherwise dominant roster. Brady has made like Lazarus more than once in his career. He needs to now more than ever. The Chiefs are on deck for Week 12.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians said Tom Brady might be getting confused by coverages, resulting in interceptions.

Brady threw two picks against the Rams on Monday night, including a back breaker on Tampa's final drive. Arians has been less than subtle in his criticism of Brady this year. When asked about Brady's final interception against LA, Arians said, "Best to talk to him about it, I guess." Saying Brady is being confused by opposing defenses is quite the statement, though perhaps not unwarranted.

Anthony Mantha is upset with his play this season and thinks he has had only one good game.

Unfortunately for Mantha, the Red Wings have played six games and it culminated Sunday when Mantha was benched for the last 19 minutes of the third period, save for one shift. “I wish I had the answer. I watched clips the last couple of days and I had a meeting with Blash (coach Jeff Blashill). It’s just a matter of getting my feet moving and being intense in battles and everything will line up from there...“He wants to see the Anthony that was playing last year at the start of the season and I want to see that guy come back ASAP,” Mantha said of Blashill. “It was just to be a little more physical, stopping on pucks and winning those one-on-one battles, and like we said, skating during the game.” Mantha has a goal and an assist this season with a minus-five rating.

Coach Bruce Cassidy said Monday that David Pastrnak (hip) is close to returning to action.

While Pastrnak will not play at home Tuesday or Thursday, the Bruins head out on the road Saturday and their star right winger could be back for the Washington contest on January 30. "He skated in a normal jersey today, so he took contact, which was the next step in his progression," Cassidy said in a Zoom call. "This week we'll see how he handles that, and then if it goes well and he wakes up tomorrow or the next day -- depending on how much contact he needs -- and doesn't feel any after effects, then we'll consider putting him in the lineup. I don't suspect he'll play in any of these home games, but he will probably travel with us and we'll see from there. Good news on him, but let's see how he does tomorrow." Stay tuned.

R. Hood - SF

POR

Rodney Hood's mysterious absence from Monday's game was due to a thigh contusion, Terry Stotts confirmed after the game.

We have no idea why the injury wasn't revealed sooner but it makes sense after Hood had started the previous two games for the Blazers. Gary Trent Jr. started in his place last night and scored 22 points, while Anfernee Simons had a big game off the bench. The Blazers have a bunch of guys (Hood, Trent Jr., Simons, Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Jones Jr.) that can help fill the void left by C.J. McCollum's foot injury, and they're all likely to step on each other's toes going forward, at least in terms of fantasy. Consider Hood day-to-day for now.

VAN

Tyler Motte registered his third goal of the season in Monday's 7-1 victory against the Ottawa Senators.

Motte, who was a restricted free agent, agreed to a two-year, $2.45 million deal in early October with the 'Nucks. It's a good deal for Vancouver so far, as he has fired out of the blocks with three goals in his first eight games with a plus-1 rating, eight PIM and 15 shots on goal. He had four goals in 34 games during the entire 2019-20 season, and his career best is nine, set in 2018-19, so he is well underway to his first double-digit goal campaign. Still, his fantasy appeal in most seasonal pools remains limited at the moment.
