Trust = spike production for that player

Quarterback

Tom Brady (TRUST): Brady has given us a little slide here. After being inside of the top-10 scorers in six of his opening eight games this season, Brady has been the QB10 or lower in each of the past three weeks with two of those games outside of the top-12. 

After throwing two interceptions through five games, Brady has seven interceptions over his past six games and has thrown for 7.0 yards per pass attempt in just one of his past five games. 

That said, Brady still leads the NFL with 30 touchdown passes through 12 weeks and has another great draw on paper here against the Falcons. Atlanta is 31st in the league in pressure rate (18.3%), 27th in points allowed per pass attempt (0.49), and 29th in passing points allowed per game (17.1).
