Sit ‘Em
QB Tom Brady (NE) – 2014 has not been nice to Tom Brady. Rob Gronkowski is not the same Gronk of years past, Danny Amendola has done squat, which leaves Julian Edelman as the only real receiver Brady has. Furthermore the offensive line has played poorly resulting in Brady having more pressure in his face than he has had in a long time, maybe even ever.
Tom Brady is missing his targets this year (over or underthrown passes). He's missed on 26% of his throws, 3rd-highest pct in NFL #QBCenter

Couple that with the Patriots opponents for fantasy football week 5, the rough and tough Bengals D, and you’re going to want to adjust accordingly — if you haven’t already.
Tom Brady had a brutally honest reaction this morning to the Patriots' recent struggles.
