We still don’t know how many games Brady may miss in 2015. But we do know that he is a vastly underrated quarterback in the fantasy football world, even as he enters the twilight years of his career. Facts are facts: Brady was a 30-touchdown, under 10-interception quarterback in 2014.

If you want to build your team around a quarterback, then spend your first-round pick on Aaron Rodgers or Andrew Luck. But if you don’t mind selecting a quarterback a little later after nabbing a top running back and an elite wide receiver, then Brady is your guy.

As for Garoppolo, he could become one of the more intriguing quarterback options after the Deflategate ruling. Should Brady’s suspension remain at four games, Garoppolo will garner significant interest in fantasy football because of the high-octane offense of which he will be taking the reins.

Regardless of that situation, Garoppolo is worth keeping in mind on the waiver wire in the event that Brady ever gets injured for that same reason.

Lastly, you can’t disregard Flynn because he could technically overtake Garoppolo on the depth chart. But seeing as how that’s pretty unlikely, don’t lose sleep over the prospect of drafting Flynn.
