Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Brady, who missed all but the first quarter of the 2008 season with a left knee injury that required surgery during that season, played all 17 games this season, ending with the Patriots’ 33-14 loss to the Ravens in the first round of the playoffs. Brady was selected as an AFC backup quarterback for the Pro Bowl scheduled for Sunday in Miami but withdrew because of the injury to his finger, the Patriots said.
