Drew Brees

Week 7 at Kansas City Chiefs
Drew Brees completed 34-of-49 passes for 465 yards with four touchdowns and one interception in the Saints Week 6 victory over the Panthers. Carolina was so depleted at the cornerback position that the team never switched to nickel coverage. Brees predictably took advantage of linebackers on his receivers, tight ends and running backs to rack up big fantasy numbers. The veteran signal-caller has now thrown for 1,734 yards and 14 touchdown passes to just four interceptions, all while completing 66.7-percent of his passes.

Brees remains a must-start in all fantasy formats, although his stock takes a slight dip when he and the Saints play outdoors and on the road. New Orleans travels to Kansas City this week to take on the Chiefs, who rank eighth against fantasy quarterbacks this season. Brees is our QB8 for Week 7.

Week 4 at San Diego
Drew Brees completed 36-of-54 pass attempts for 376 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the Saints' Week 3 loss to the Falcons. If it weren't for Brees, the Saints would have been long out of the game by the time the fourth quarter came around, but the signal-caller kept attacking Atlanta's defense until the closing minutes. Brees targeted tight end Coby Fleener and rookie receiver Michael Thomas 11 times apiece on the night. The interception came when rookie corner Brian Poole jumped a slant route, knocked the ball into the air and straight into the arms of linebacker Deion Jones, who returned the gift 90 yards for a back-breaking pick-six.

Brees will face a Chargers defense that ranks No. 24 versus fantasy quarterbacks. He's our QB4 and is a must-start in all formats.

Week 2 at New York Giants
Drew Brees was outstanding in the Saints Week 1 loss to the Raiders, completing 28-of-42 passes for 424 yards and four touchdowns with no picks. Outside of losing a fumble on the third play of the game, Brees was perfect. He had touchdown passes of 1 yard to Willie Snead, 15 and 98 yards to Brandin Cooks, and 2 yards to Travaris Cadet while finishing as the top passer in the NFL for Week 1.

Ranked as our QB5 for Week 2, start Brees against a Giants team that owns the No. 26-ranked fantasy pass defense. New York looks to be improved on defense but Brees is a must-start every week, especially with New Orleans likely to play in shootouts every week.
