While the injury is likely minor, Brady was also suffering from a sore foot last year in the Super Bowl that required him to wear a walking boot. It hasn’t been confirmed whether or not this injury is related, however if it is, that could hurt Brady’s fantasy football value.

That said, even with a sore foot, Brady remains the top ranked fantasy football quarterback in 2008. He coming off of a season where he had 50 passing touchdowns and while he likely won’t match that number, he should have another huge season this year.

Keep an eye out for injury updates regarding Brady’s foot but as long as he has Randy Moss to throw the ball to, he should be fine.

To prove Brady’s ankle is feeling better, you can see this picture of Brady surfing in Costa Rica. In another picture, Brady can be seen with a surf board. Oh and that female with him is none other than his girlfriend — Brazilian supermodel Gisele.

No matter what Brady decides to do in the offseason, he enters the 2008 fantasy football season as the number one ranked quarterback. Last season he had 50 touchdown passes and while he likely won’t do that again, he should have another big season.

This is obviously not the news the Patriots wanted to hear about their star quarterback. Brady, who in 2007 had arguably the best season ever by an NFL quarterback, will take it easy during training camp until he’s 100%.

While this is somewhat concerning, his fantasy football status shouldn’t be affected too much. He’s still the no doubt number one quarterback in fantasy football. He’s still a first round pick. He likely won’t pass for 50 touchdowns again but he should have another amazing season.

Unless he re-injures his ankle, the injury should be totally fine by the time the regular season kicks off. In case anything disastrous happens, Matt Cassel is his backup.

It wouldn’t be a shock to see the Giants make a trade. Shockey is a good player but he has an overbearing personality on the field. Some experts around the Giants have suggested that Shockey’s injury allowed Eli Manning to grow into more of a leadership role with the Giants. Bringing Shockey back into the fold would mess with their proven Super Bowl championship level chemistry.

Additionally, Kevin Boss (Shockey’s backup at tight end) played well for the Giants in the playoffs last season. He’s not as good of a receiver but he has good hands and he’s a good blocker. His team-first personality was also praised throughout their postseason run.

If Shockey is traded, the team that seems to be most interested is the New Orleans Saints. This comes as a bit of a surprise because the Saints have two solid tight ends under contract in Eric Johnson and Billy Miller. Johnson and Miller combined to come up with big plays for New Orleans last year. Although, it’s undeniable that Shockey would be an upgrade for the Saints. The Saints would likely offer draft picks to the Giants in their trade offers.

Another team that makes sense is the Detroit Lions. The Lions are desperate for a star tight end and Shockey would be a good match for their passing offense.
