SIT
TOM BRADY, QUARTERBACK, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
Most people would scorn you if you sat Tom Brady against any defense. If you do not have a solid back up, you probably shouldn’t, but if you do have a good option in your bench, give Brady the day off. The Carolina Panthers have a monster defense that only allows 201 passing yards a game, which is good for 4th in the league. They don’t give up much on the ground either – just 82 yards a game, 2nd best in the NFL. As a whole, the Panthers give up only 283 total yards, again second best.
The Patriots offense looks so much better with Rob Gronkowski in the line up but this Panthers team is an underrated one. Be brave and sit Brady this week.
