Brady completed 22 of 29 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 21-16 win over Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Brady was involved in a few miscues, most significant of which was an interception early in the fourth quarter that helped Seattle get back in the game. However, he also threw for touchdowns of 31 and four yards -- his first multi-touchdown effort since Week 4 and only his second such performance on the season. Interestingly, the Buccaneers were heavily focused on the run game, which forced Brady to perform efficiently to post the solid line. That will be a storyline worth watching when Tampa Bay comes out of its bye week into a Week 12 matchup against the Browns.

Brady completed 36 of 58 passes for 280 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
His only TD pass of the day came with nine seconds left in the fourth quarter, as the 45-year-old quarterback found rookie tight end Cade Otton for the winning score. Brady's 55th career game-winning drive came not too long after he passed 100,000 career passing yards, with both marks being NFL records. Tampa Bay's struggling run game has forced Brady to attempt at least 40 passes in seven straight games, but that high volume has produced only a 6.4 YPA and 8:0 TD:INT heading into a Week 10 clash with the Seahawks in Germany.

Brady completed 26 of 44 passes for 325 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 27-22 loss to the Ravens on Thursday night. He also rushed once for one yard.
EDGE Analysis
Brady finished with yet another aesthetically pleasing stat line, albeit in another loss for the shockingly struggling Buccaneers. The future Hall of Famer and his teammates on the offensive side of the ball opened the game looking exceedingly sharp, with Brady leading Tampa Bay to 10 points over its first two possessions while netting 125 yards on 18 plays. However, the Bucs would go on to generate all of 56 yards on their next five possessions while the Ravens worked their way from a 10-3 deficit to 17-13 lead. Brady did subsequently helm a pair of long drives that ended in field goals and one final 11-play march which culminated in an eight-yard touchdown toss to Julio Jones with 49 seconds left before the rally fell short with a failed onside kick. While there are plenty of questions to answer for the entire offense, Brady is rewarding fantasy managers with a trio of 300-yard efforts in the last five games and a 9:1 TD:INT heading into a Week 9 showdown against the Rams a week from Sunday.

Brady completed 32 of 49 passes for 290 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Buccaneers' 21-3 loss to the Panthers on Sunday. He also rushed once for one yard and recovered a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
For the second straight week, Brady put up aesthetically pleasing numbers in an underwhelming performance for the Buccaneers offense. The future Hall of Famer took only one sack, stayed away from turnovers and connected with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin for a combined 16 completions and 139 yards, yet somehow failed to lead the Bucs to a single touchdown. It was Brady's first game without a scoring toss since the Week 4 win over the Patriots last season -- although that wouldn't have been the case had Evans not dropped a sure touchdown while running uncovered down the middle of the field in the first quarter -- and he and his pass catchers are once again left searching for answers going into a short week ahead of a Week 8 interconference showdown with the Ravens on Thursday night.

Brady completed 25 of 40 passes for 243 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 20-18 loss to the Steelers on Sunday. He also ran once for no gain and committed a fumble recovered by Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Brady and his pass catchers faced a Steelers secondary decimated by injury Sunday, and even though he generated respectable numbers and didn't commit any turnovers, the performance was a continuation of what has been a perplexingly sluggish start for the Buccaneers offense as a whole. Brady was able to connect with top targets Chris Godwin and Mike Evans on 10 occasions for 137 yards, but neither receiver found the end zone. Instead, Brady's one touchdown toss went to Leonard Fournette from 11 yards out late in the fourth quarter to cap off a mammoth 14-play, 73-yard drive. However, Brady would never get the ball back to attempt to mount a game-winning drive after that point, leaving him and the Bucs to try and atone in a Week 7 road divisional battle against the Panthers.

Brady completed 35 of 52 passes for 351 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Buccaneers' 21-15 win over the Falcons on Sunday. He also netted minus-3 yards on three rushes and threw a two-point conversion pass.
EDGE Analysis
Brady's final stat line belies the overall inefficiency the air attack occasionally struggled with, but after starting the game 0-for-3, the future Hall of Famer sharpened up his overall play considerably. Brady checked down to Leonard Fournette a whopping 11 times overall (10 completions), and he otherwise focused heavily on Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and rookie tight end Cade Otton on a day when he played with a short-handed receiving corps yet again. Brady's reputation may have helped ensure the victory for the Buccaneers as well, considering he was the beneficiary of a highly questionable roughing the passer penalty on a third-down sack that would have given the Falcons the ball back down six with just under three minutes remaining. Brady has now thrown for 736 yards in his last two games alone, giving him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 6 road matchup against the Steelers.

Brady (shoulder/finger) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though Brady sat out Wednesday's session with right shoulder and right ring finger injuries, the absence ended up mirroring the regular veteran maintenance days he's expected to receive for the Buccaneers' first practice of every week this season. According to Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site, Brady said after Thursday's practice that his shoulder "feels great," and his ability to take every rep clears up any lingering concern about his availability for Sunday's game against the Falcons. Brady is coming off a season-best Week 4 performance in which he completed 39 of 52 pass attempts for 385 yards and three touchdowns in a loss to the Chiefs, but the Buccaneers essentially abandoned the run after falling into an early deficit. Expect a more balanced game plan Week 5, which will likely result in lesser passing volume for Brady.

Brady (shoulder/finger) was spotted on the field during the open portion of Thursday's practice, Jenna Laine of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
A sore right shoulder as well as a pre-existing right ring finger injury kept Brady off the field Wednesday, but maintenance-based absences during the first practices of each week had already been the norm for the 45-year-old quarterback. Brady's return to practice a day later suggests his appearance on the Week 5 injury report isn't a major concern, though it's not yet clear if he'll go down as a limited or full participant Thursday. Sara Walsh of NFL Network notes that Brady didn't appear to have any restrictions while throwing the football, so he looks well on his way to starting Sunday's game against the Falcons.

Brady (right shoulder/right finger) didn't practice Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Brady banged up his right ring finger Week 2 at New Orleans and now is dealing with a right shoulder concern. Wednesday's absence may be a maintenance-related for the 45-year-old quarterback, and he does have two more chances to mix into drills this week. As a result, Brady's status should continue to be watched to ensure he isn't in danger of sitting out Sunday against the Falcons.

Brady completed 39 of 52 pass attempts for 385 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's 41-31 loss to the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Tampa Bay fell behind big early, forcing offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich to abandon the run game completely and rely solely on Brady's arm to climb back into the contest. It was a valiant effort from Tom Terrific and Co., but they ultimately fell short. It is worth noting that Brady appeared to be favoring his right shoulder after taking a big hit late in the first half. The 45-year-old didn't appear limited by the minor injury scare in the second half, so Brady's fantasy managers can take a sigh of relief heading into a Week 5 tilt against Atlanta.
