Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback and surefire Hall-of-Famer Tom Brady has been far from an elite fantasy asset in his age 45 seasons, but his name on the injury report still raises concern.
Brady is just the QB16 through 14 weeks, but he's still a strong starter in favorable matchups and a must-start in two-QB or Superflex leagues. The Tampa Bay offense has already been unproductive, and Brady having to miss time would only compound the situation and hurt the outlooks of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and others.
Is Brady healthy or injured and what is his fantasy outlook in Week 15 if he can suit up? We have the latest update.

Tom Brady Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Brady (hand) said following Sunday's loss to the 49ers that his right hand was "fine." The signal-caller smacked his throwing hand on defensive lineman Samson Ebukam's helmet on a play that resulted in an interception early in the third quarter. He was seen shaking his hand and in pain immediately following, so everyone can take his comment with a grain of salt, at least for now, until an official injury report is made public ahead of the Week 15 meeting with the Cincinnati Bengals.
We can assume he's going to play in Week 15 since there has been no major news since Sunday, but things can change in a hurry, so make sure to keep up to date on his latest status.
Tom Brady Week 15 Fantasy Outlook
Assuming Brady is good to go, he projects as just a mid-level QB2 against the Bengals, but his floor could be even lower. The Bengals have allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points per game to quarterbacks through 14 weeks, and Brady has proven not to be matchup-proof in 2022.
Tampa Bay has the fifth-worst scoring offense at 17.2 points per game, while Cincinnati has the 11th-best scoring defense, allowing 20.4 points per game. Most of us have expected Brady to eventually flip the switch, but it hasn't happened. Maybe this really is the end of Brady's dominance, so it's time to view him as a low-floor risky fantasy asset.
If Brady misses time, backup Blaine Gabbert would presumably replace him under center and he'll be a must-add in two-QB and Superflex leagues.
