Never count out touchdown Tom.

Tom Brady had his worst season in a decade according to our NEP per drop back metric, but that's not enough to remove Brady from consideration as a top passer for fake football.

Because "Tom Brady's worst season in a decade" still wound up ninth among all quarterbacks in Passing NEP last season, and with some assumed level of health for Rob Gronkowski this season, Brady figures to find the end zone as often - if not more often - than he did a year ago.

Don't expect any record-breaking performances or obscene stat lines from Brady, but do expect one of the best quarterbacks in league history to continue to do what he does best. The Patriots run an up-tempo offense that Brady orchestrates to perfection, something he'll do again in 2014.
