Start Sit: Tom Brady

Stephania Bell's Week 14 injury report: Questionable QBs - ESPN:

"There is little doubt that Tom] Brady will play Sunday, but there is some question as to how healthy (and therefore effective) he will be. Given the fact that Brady played throughout last week's game, despite likely suffering the injury during the contest, it would seem that Brady should not be too challenged this week. But rib injuries can be delicate in that another shot to the same area could be enough to force him out, or at least hinder his effectiveness. Rib injuries can also make throwing and twisting less comfortable, progressively so as fatigue sets in or following repeated contact. Brady's protection Sunday could be the primary factor toward determining not only how he performs but how long he lasts."

If you have Brady, you're stuck starting him in Week One of the fantasy football play-offs. If he struggles and you lose, you will recall why so many people who play fantasy football think of it as little more than luck.
