Buccaneers QB Tom Brady (thumb) listed as limited again

Oct 12, 2021

Tom Brady told reporters on Tuesday that he expects the discomfort with his right thumb will be gone in a day or two. But for now, the Buccaneers quarterback is still listed as limited on the team’s injury report.

Tampa Bay didn’t go through a full practice on Tuesday, given the short week. But if they had, Brady would have been limited for the second day in a row with the thumb injury.

Fantasy Impact:

Brady is fully expected to play in this game, but it continues to be worth monitoring.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is expected to play against the Chicago Bears this weekend.

Fantasy Impact:

Kyler Murray logged limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday and is expected to make his return in Week 13 against the Bears. Murray has been sidelined since Week 8, so the hope is that he is now close to full health and will not be at significant risk of aggravating the injury. Murray is our seventh-ranked quarterback for Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins logged a limited practice on Thursday.

Fantasy Impact:

Hopkins has now logged two straight limited practices and is expected to play against the Chicago Bears this weekend. He may see his snaps scaled back in his return to the lineup but maintains WR2 status with obvious WR1 upside. He will likely be listed as questionable heading into the weekend, but fantasy managers should remain optimistic about his availability. Hopkins is currently our 22nd ranked wide receiver for Week 13.

Antonio Brown suspended for three games

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has been suspended for three games without pay due to misrepresenting his vaccination status.

Fantasy Impact:

There were reports that Antonio Brown was exposed (by his former chef) for acquiring a fake vaccination card, but those rumors were thought to be debunked by his agent. This suspension suggests otherwise. Whatever the case, AB did misrepresent his vaccination status under the NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 protocol. The league also suspended safety Mike Edwards, also of the Buccaneers. Both players have waived their right to appeal and will miss the next three games without pay. Brown is still dealing with the ankle injury that has sidelined him much longer than expected and was already slated to be out for the next 1-2 weeks. This latest off-field issue spells trouble for AB's future in the league.
