Fantasy Football Week 13: Projection for Tom Brady against Buffalo Bills
By Nick Ziegler
In Week 13, the New England Patriots will be facing the Buffalo Bills. What can fantasy football owners expect from quarterback Tom Brady?
The fantasy football season is quickly coming to an end with many leagues entering the final game before the playoffs. For those fighting for playoff spots or looking to move up in the standings, owning Tom Brady has certainly paid off this season.
Despite being 40-years old, Brady has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL this season. As an MVP candidate, Brady has been good to people who own him in fantasy football. This season, Brady has totaled 3.374 passing yards, 26 passing touchdowns, and just three interceptions.
Brady’s ability to protect the football has been very impressive once again this season, as he is one of the best in the league at avoiding turnovers. Considering how often Brady throws the ball, it has been another remarkable season for him in those regards.
Last week, Brady only threw for 227 passing yards, but he did throw four passing touchdowns to help his owners. It was the second time this season that Brady was able to total at least four passing touchdowns.
While the Dolphins were a middle of the pack team defensively against quarterbacks in fantasy football, Week 13 will be a little more challenging for Brady. In Week 13, the Patriots will be on the road facing the Buffalo Bills.
Despite a ton of change, the Bills are in the mix for an AFC Wild Card spot this season. After a blown experiment of starting Nathan Peterman, the Bills bounced back against the Kansas City Chiefs with Tyrod Taylor back under center.

This season, the Bills’ defense has been very good overall, and they have been stingy against quarterbacks in fantasy. The Bills are currently ranked 8th in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, which means Brady will be in for a tough test. Even though the Bills have been good against quarterbacks in fantasy this season, Brady has proven that he and the Patriots offense can score on anyone.
Week 13 projection: 250 passing yards, two passing touchdowns.
