Quarterback

Tom Brady (TRUST): Brady has had back-to-back weeks outside of the top-10 for the first time this season, throwing for 214 and 232 yards the past two weeks. The Bucs have had limited weaponry available these past two games, but Sunday they also did not need to do much of anything against a moribund Carolina offense. 

The Jets offense does not pose much of a threat as well, but they are a supremely more favorable matchup than the capable defense of the Saints and Panthers the past two weeks. The Jets are allowing 8.1 yards per pass attempt (31st), a league-high 69.8% completion rate, and 15.7 passing points per game (25th).
