Week 4 vs. Cowboys
Drew Brees was held out of the Saints Week 3 loss to the Panthers with a shoulder injury, but is expected to return Sunday night when New Orleans hosts Dallas. He was limited in practice, but at least appears on track to play this week (although Brees owners are at a disadvantage with the kickoff set for 8:30PM ET). Our recommendation is to avoid Brees altogether. He currently ranks as our QB20 for Week 4, so if you don't have a backup, there should be a streaming option available (Ryan Fitzpatrick and Blake Bortles might be options). Brees admitted his shoulder injury affected some of his throws in the Saints Week 2 loss to the Panthers. There's a chance the injury has improved significantly in two weeks, but we wouldn't trust playing him on Sunday versus fantasy's No. 5 defense vs. quarterbacks.
