This just in, Tom Brady has a new love in his life.
This time, however, she's no super model or actress. She's Randy Moss. Ever since the arrival of Moss, Brady has been climbing his way to the top of the fantasy charts.
To think, with the edition of some real talent on the field (Moss and Wes Welker) Brady has become what many consider the top fantasy quarterback (sorry Peyton, looks like the sixth round pick out of Michigan outdid you again.)
Brady currently has a passer rating of 134.7, completing 79.2 percent of his passes (95 of 120) and has thrown for 1,118 yards with 13 touchdowns and only two interceptions.
If Brady continues at this pace, he will throw for 4,472 yards with 52 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions. Incredible.
Brady remains the most valuable fantasy quarterback, followed closely by Tony Romo and Manning. He should continue to have a solid season alongside a cheating coach.
Week five sleeper:
Brandon Stokley, wide receiver for the Broncos, should see significant playing time this week against the No. 27 ranked passing defense of the San Diego Chargers.
Javon Walker is still nursing a knee injury and as of Wednesday, reports said Walker had not participated in team practices.
Stokley will likely start in place of the injured Walker and has the ability to sneak away with some big gains and possibly a touchdown or two.
Week five stud:
Tony Romo should help the Cowboys put up huge numbers against Buffalo on Monday night.
Romo, who has become football's rendition of Caroline Rhea, who is often referred to as America's sweetheart, has had an extraordinary first season as a starter. With weapons like TO, Patrick Clayton, MBIII, Julius Jones and Jason Witten, Romo is almost guaranteed to put up huge numbers, especially against the Bills suspect pass defense.
Week five dud:
With the Chicago Bears coming to town, Brett Favre may find it a little more difficult to throw 40 times in the game without being picked off. Despite Favre's tremendous start to the season, the Packers have yet to prove themselves against a tough pass defense.
The Bears have had a slow start to the season, but the defense has played surprisingly well despite being depleted by injuries. Look for Brian Urlacher and company to head into Lambeau Field on Sunday with a chip on their shoulders. This will be a tough day for Favre.
