A federal appeals court ruled on Monday that Patriots QB Tom Brady must serve the 4-game suspension for his role in "Deflategate." Brady won his appeal of the suspension last fall and played all 16 games. He does have the option of appealing this decision to the Supreme Court, although that's viewed as unlikely. Brady and the league could also agree on a reduced ban. But for now, he'll miss the first 4 contests of the 2016 season. QB Jimmy Garoppolo will start those games against the Cardinals, Dolphins, Texans and Bills. Those matchups make him tough to like as a fantasy option, especially with no teams on bye for the first 3 weeks. Brady's suspension also hurts WR Julian Edelman and TE Rob Gronkowski's early-season outlooks.
A quick look at the most important matchup data to consider when making Week 10 start/sit decisions, including implied points, projected plays, WR/CB matchups, and adjusted fantasy points allowed.
