1. Tom Brady

No. 1 on our list should come as no surprise. Despite entering his age 41 season, Tom Brady remains among the best in the league. After taking home the MVP award in 2017, Brady looks poised for another big season.

New England lost some key contributors on offense this season in Danny Amendola and Dion Lewis. Julian Edelman will also be out the first four games of the season. Despite that, Brady is still a top flight option for Week 1 at the quarterback spot for fantasy football owners.

Last season, Houston surrendered a lot of touchdowns through the air. The 30 passing touchdowns allowed were tied for the second most in the league. Houston also struggles to get consistent pressure on the quarterback with only 32 sacks. Houston is hoping those numbers improve with J.J. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney back healthy, but Brady is a tough matchup for any team.

Brady has dominated the Texans in his career. He is 6-1 against them in the regular season, completing 67.1 percent of his passes with 17 touchdowns and only four interceptions.

It would not be surprising to see Brady add another win to his record against the Texans with some gaudy numbers.
