2 years agoTampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was excused from Friday's training camp practice due to a personal matter. Brady also got a day off on Wednesday, and the Buccaneers had the day off on Thursday, so Brady will now have a third straight day off. In the grand scheme of things, this is probably a non-issue. The Bucs will unsurprisingly hold Brady out of their first preseason game next week on Aug. 13 against the Miami Dolphins as well. The 45-year-old GOAT shouldn't be seen as an elite QB1 in fantasy, but he's firmly in the QB1 ranks, especially after the Buccaneers added veteran receiver Julio Jones and tight end Kyle Rudolph recently. Another plus for Brady: Chris Godwin's (knee) recovery from a torn ACL last year is going well, and he has a realistic chance to be ready for Week 1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
