The Facts:
Brady, who injured his shoulder in New England's preseason game against Washington last week, said Monday that he expects to play "this week, if coach lets me."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Brady took a crushing hit from Redskins DL Albert Haynesworth and left the game at Washington. HC Bill Belichick said over the weekend that Brady had a sore shoulder, but was removed from the game so the Patriots could evaluate their backup QBs. "I have bumps and bruises," Brady said. "I fell a little bit awkwardly, but I'm expecting to be out there and I'm expecting to play this week, if coach let's me. We'll just see how the week goes. ..." All that said, it seems quite unlikely Brady will play in the exhibition finale. But we'll suggest the team's decision to release backup Kevin O'Connell is an indication they aren't terribly worried about Brady's shoulder.
