Scouting report

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 10, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Redskins
Drew Brees completed 28-of-39 passes for 389 yards with three touchdowns and an interception in the Saints Week 9 loss to the Titans. He also scored on a one-yard quarterback sneak. In his last two games, Brees has thrown for 11 touchdowns and just two interceptions and is our QB4 for Week 10. Get him in your lineup.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 9, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tennessee
Drew Brees completed 40-of-50 passes for 511 yards with seven touchdowns and an interception in the Saints 52-49 win over the Giants in Week 8. The seven touchdowns tied the NFL record which was set by Nick Foles in 2013. Brees has looked like a completely different quarterback since his shoulder injury heeled and the Saints have rediscovered their explosive offense. The Titans have fantasy's No. 10 defense against quarterbacks this season, but it doesn't matter: Brees is on fire and should be in all lineups. He ranks as our QB3 for Week 9.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 8, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. New York Giants
Drew Brees completed 28-of-44 passes for 255 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Saints Week 7 win over the Colts. It could have been a bigger fantasy day for Brees had Ben Watson not been stopped at the one-yard line on two separate deep passes, but Brees nevertheless looks healthy after missing Week 2 with a shoulder injury. He'll face the No. 21 fantasy defense against quarterbacks this Sunday when the Saints host the Giants. He's our No. 8 quarterback for Week 8.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 7, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Indianapolis
Drew Brees completed 30-of-39 passes for 312 yards and a touchdown in the Saints Week 6 win over the Saints. It wasn't exactly vintage Brees, but it was close enough. He repeatedly found Ben Watson open for gains in the intermediate game and was highly efficient from the start. While he's still not driving the ball outside the numbers, Brees doesn't look limited by the shoulder injury that sidelined him in Week 2. Ranked as our QB7 for Week 8, Brees will be a solid starting option for Sunday's game against the Colts.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 6, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Atlanta
Drew Brees completed 26-of-43 passes for 335 yards with two touchdowns and an interception in the Saints' Week 5 loss to the Eagles. He also lost two fumbles, which resulted in points for Philadelphia. The good news is Brees looked healthy while taking multiple deep shots to Brandin Cooks. He appears to be close to 100-percent health after sitting out Week 2 with a rotator cuff injury. He'll be a solid QB1 option for Thursday night's game against the Falcons, despite the fact Atlanta has fantasy's No. 7-ranked defense versus QBs.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 5, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Philadelphia
We made a mistake by recommending owners should go in a different direction last week with Drew Brees, who wound up throwing for 359 yards and two touchdowns against the Cowboys on Sunday Night Football. We thought Brees would be limited by the shoulder injury that held him out of Week 3 and while that was the case, he still managed to do a lot of damage with short passes against Dallas' decimated secondary. It was a gutsy performance by Brees, who was removed from the Week 5 injury report. He's back to being a reliable fantasy option and ranks as our QB7 for this Sunday's matchup with Philadelphia.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 4, 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

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.
