Tom Brady 2022 NFL Player Outlook: Continues To Defy Father Time, Expect Another Terrific Season From The GOAT
2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady announced he was retiring from the NFL during the offseason. The 44-year-old's retirement lasted about a month, and he decided to run it back with Tampa Bay for at least one more season. He was terrific in 2021, throwing for 5,316 yards, 43 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions while rushing for 81 yards and two scores over 17 games. The GOAT has shown no signs of slowing down and has now thrown for at least 40 touchdowns in back-to-back seasons. He led the NFL with 719 pass attempts, 47 more than any other quarterback in 2021. Tampa Bay's defensive coordinator Todd Bowles replaced Bruce Arians as the team's head coach. However, fantasy managers can expect the same pass-heavy approach in 2022 as offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich is still calling plays. The seven-time Super Bowl Champion will be without All-Pro tight end Rob Gronkowski, Pro Bowl guard Ali Marpet who both recently retired, and Chris Godwin for part of the season as he recovers from a late-season torn ACL. Brady is currently ranked seventh among all quarterbacks in the latest Rotoballer quarterback rankings. Still, managers can expect the GOAT to continue to defy father time and compile another 40-plus touchdown campaign in 2022, making him a high-end fantasy QB1 in what might be the final year of his incredible career.
