The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 29-for-42 for 375 yards with three touchdown passes and an interception Week 10 against the Indianapolis Colts.

The Huddle Take: For the most part Brady was spot-on, though you can bet he'd like just one more yard added to that total. That he hung three touchdowns on a secondary that had allowed only four all year heading into Sunday night is the best indicator yet that Brady is all the way back from his knee injury and fast approaching 2007 form.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 23-for-32 for 308 yards with three touchdown passes and two interceptions Week 7 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Huddle Take: The more things change the more they stay the same. Brady continues his resurgence and this time it was in London against a Tampa Bay team struggling in many different ways this season. Brady is clearly settling in more and more in recent weeks which could spell trouble for the rest of the league for the remainder of the season.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady threw an NFL record five touchdowns in second quarter in Week 6. He finished the game 29-for-34 for 380 yards and six touchdowns, which set a team record.

The Huddle Take: What is there to say about Tom Brady's explosion against the Titans except "He's Back". This is just the type of performance that the Patriots have been looking for to get the former MVP back on track. Brady is clearly a No. 1 elite quarterback and capable of posting huge numbers for fantasy teams against any opponent.

Alex Marvez, of FOXSports.com reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady will not face suspension after two photographers who alleged they were shot at during Brady's wedding sued him.

The Huddle Take: Not that there was ever significant concern over Brady facing league discipline for the incident, but it's good to know he's officially in the clear.

The Detroit News reports New England Patritos QB Tom Brady and his wife, Gisele Bundchen, are being sued by the news agency Agence France Presse, according to a report. Bodyguards for Bundchen shot at two Agence France Presse photographers during the couple's wedding party at Bundchen's home in Costa Rica, according to Reuters. The photographers are seeking $1 million in damaged. According to the report, the suit was filed in U.S. District Court in New York and accuses Brady and Bundchen of negligence and carelessness.

The Huddle Take: Not really any fantasy impact expected from this, but interesting news to note. The fact is, the lawyers will be handling this and Brady will pretty much be focusing on football. A tragic story of course, but shouldn't affect Brady's play anymore than it already is from being rusty.

CBSSports.com reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady has thrown the football 100 times in the team�s first two games.

The Huddle Take: Even though he probably ruined the week for your Fantasy team in Week 2, don't even think about benching Brady for now. He should redeem himself this week at home against the Falcons.

The Associated Press reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 23-for-47 for 216 yards with an interception during the team's Week 2 game against the New York Jets.

The Huddle Take: Brady has just not looked like the same player since returning from his season-ending knee injury of last year. As with most players that return from this type of injury, he will likely take a few weeks to get back his timing with receivers and also trust the stability of his knee which is as much a mental setback as a physical one. Brady should still be considered a No. 1 fantasy quarterback that could go off for a big game at anytime.

New England Patriots QB Tom Brady was 39-for-53 for 378 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception during the team�s Week 1 game.

The Huddle Take: Brady showed some rust early, but quickly knocked it off and caught fire in the second half. If he continues this production, he could be labeled a steal if you picked him in the second or third round.

ESPN.com reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady said Monday, Aug. 31, that he expects to play in the team's preseason finale if head coach Bill Belichick allows him to. "I have bumps and bruises," Brady said in his weekly appearance on a Boston radio station. "It's a physical game. Like I said, I fell a little bit awkwardly, but I'm expecting to be out there and I'm expecting to play this week, if coach let's me. We'll just see how the week goes."

The Huddle Take: Sounds as if Brady is okay, but given the clandestine nature of the Patriots injury report you should expect him to be listed as "questionable (shoulder)" for the remainder of his career.

The Los Angeles Times, reports New England Patriots QB Tom Brady (shoulder, knee) is at least in good shape with his surgically repaired knee. While the team isn't saying how severe his shoulder injury is, the doctor who reconstructed his knee said things are in good shape on that front. 'All those things are extremely reassuring, and I couldn't be happier about that,' Dr. Neal ElAttrache said of Brady's knee.

The Huddle Take: It now appears that the main concern for Brady is the extent of his shoulder injury which appears to be ok based on the information released to this point. It would be advised to continue to monitor this situation until it becomes crystal clear that there is no concern with whether Brady will be on the field when week 1 begins.
