At the Running Back/Full Back position: Laurence Maroney (2008 Avg: 3.10 Pts/Game) has been added to the starting lineup. Schedule Difficulty: Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Brady playes this year (124 - 84 - 0 0.596%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (96 - 112 - 0 0.462%), and last season's teams gave up more points (4,823) compared to this season's teams (4,370) so this could mean less fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Brady had a lower fantasy avg (0 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (3.80 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could also be an indication of less points. Defenses: From a defensive standpoint, Brady will face defenses that are stronger this year (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 16.00 - 3 Top 10 Defenses and 2 Top 5 Defenses) compared to last season (Avg. Total Yards Against Ranking: 20.85 - 1 Top 10 Defense and 1 Top 5 Defense), and last season's teams gave up more passing yards (220 yds/game including 3 Top 10 Defenses and 1 Top 5 Defense) compared to this season's teams (213 yds/game including 4 Top 10 Defenses and 1 Top 5 Defense). Starting Position Performance against Defenses: Starting Quarterbacks averaged more points (16.05 pts/game) against last season's teams compared to this season's teams (15.81 pts/game), which could make it difficult for Brady to match last year's fantasy point total.
