NFL Injury Report: Tracking Week 5 Fantasy Football Injuries For Notable Stars
Tom Brady makes his much-anticipated return Sunday when the New England Patriots visit the Cleveland Browns.
The veteran quarterback missed the first four games of the season because of his Deflategate suspension, and people are expecting him to return with a vengeance and dominate all competition.
That would be good for fantasy football owners, especially those who own Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman and tight end Rob Gronkowski. Both players have battled lower body injuries this season, but they’re apparently ready to go for Week 5.
#Patriots QB Tom Brady will have his full complement of pass-catchers, including Julian Edelman (foot) & TE Rob Gronkowski, who is improving
