Two ZoneBlitz.com fantasy teams may have been thrown a severe curve ball today, as Tom Brady’s knee injury has apparently been confirmed as a torn ACL.
On the positive side, neither team that featured Brady were in paid leagues. And both are currently winning their games for the week.
On the down side, in one league we didn’t draft a backup QB, and in the other, Matt Schaub was auto-drafted for us (way too early), but was subsequently cut for one of the rookie RB we snagged.
Thankfully, with the free internet service at McCarran International Airport, we’ve already made a transaction to shore up for next week–we grabbed Trent Edwards from Buffalo, who we actually kind of liked anyway. But he’s no Tom Brady.
As for the Patriots…well, I think those fans in Boston can stop talking about going 16-0 again. And I doubt we’ll see any more 16.5 point spreads in Vegas.
