NO QB Drew Brees - Week 7, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7: Brees vs. Lions
Drew Brees completed 35-of-57 passes for 371 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions in the Saints’ Week 5 win over the Buccaneers. Brees hasn’t gotten off to the start that fantasy owners would like and now he’ll be without tight end Jimmy Graham for up to three weeks due to a shoulder injury. While he remains a QB1, we have him ranked as our No. 11 overall QB for Week 7 as he’ll face a tough Detroit defense led by a ferocious front four. Unless you managed to get your hands on Joe Flacco during the bye week (Flacco is our No. 10 overall QB for Week 7), you’ll have to ride with Brees on Sunday.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5: Brees vs. Bucs
Drew Brees completed 32-of-44 passes for 340 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception in the Saints' loss to the Cowboys last Sunday night. He's now on pace for 4,812 yards and 28 touchdowns, which would be his lowest TD output since he threw 28 touchdowns in 2007. The good news for fantasy owners is he has a great matchup this week against the Bucs and the Saints are at home, which is where their offense usually thrives (although that wasn't the case in Week 3 when New Orleans only posted 20 points in a win over Minnesota). Brees ranks as our No. 2 overall QB for Week 5 and should be in your lineup.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 4, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4: Brees vs. Cowboys
Drew Brees completed 27-of-35 passes for 293 yards and two touchdowns in the Saints' Week 3 win over the Vikings. Considering he was our No. 1 fantasy QB last week, Brees' performance wasn't eye-popping, but he was efficient nonetheless. He has another great opportunity to post big numbers on Sunday night when he takes on a Dallas defense that has zero pass rush and was ripped for over 300 yards passing and three touchdowns (it would have been four had Jared Cook hung onto the ball in the end zone) by the Rams' Austin Davis last week. Brees' fantasy season is off to a slow start but he once again is our No. 1 QB for Week 4.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 3, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3: Brees vs. Vikings
Drew Brees completed 27-of-40 passes for 237 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in the Saints' shocking Week 2 loss to the Browns. Brees has defended the Saints' road play over the last few years, but it's clear they're a different team away from the Superdome. The good news is that they'll play their home opener on Sunday versus a Vikings team that gave the Patriots plenty of scoring opportunities last week. With the Saints at home this weekend, Brees is our No. 1 QB for Week 3 and is in store for a massive bounce back performance.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 2, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2: Brees vs. Browns
Drew Brees completed 29-of-42 passes for 333 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Saints' 37-34 loss to the Falcons. He was out-dueled by Matt Ryan in the loss, but still posted solid fantasy numbers. There won't be many weeks this season when he's held to only one touchdown and remains a QB1 in all formats. He's our No. 4 overall QB for Week 2 against the Browns.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 1, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1: Brees vs. Falcons
Drew Brees has terrorized the Falcons in the past, throwing for 5,140 yards with 34 touchdowns and a QB rating of 96.6. Atlanta has zero pass rush so Brees should have plenty of time to pick on a Falcon secondary that is decent, but receives no help from the front four. Not that we needed to convince you, but Brees is a must start every week and is our No. 2 overall QB for Week 1.

NO QB Drew Brees - 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Although he remains sidelined with an oblique injury that could cost him the entire preseason, there’s no reason to believe that Brees’ production will suddenly drop off. He plays for one of the most innovative offensive minds in Sean Payton, his front office made his best weapon happy this offseason when they signed TE Jimmy Graham to a long-term contract, and he’ll have yet another explosive playmaker to throw to in rookie Brandin Cooks (a serious OROY candidate). Brees continues to do the little things that make him an elite performer, such as perfect pump fakes in order to create separation for his receivers in the passing game and aligning his offensive line when it comes to pre-snap protections. In an era of pass-happy offenses, Brees leads one of the best attacks in the league.

Fantasy Downside
The oblique injury isn’t a huge concern but it does provide a reminder that Brees is no longer a spring chicken. The injury has also cost him practice time with youngsters like Cooks, who at some point needs to perfect the timing between himself and his quarterback. But even at 35, Brees still has a plenty left in the tank and barring a serious injury, there’s not much downside when it comes to his 2014 fantasy outlook.

Bottom Line
Brees has been a top-two fantasy quarterback in five of the last six seasons and remains a top-three option at his position. His ADP of 3.06 in standard and 3.02 in PPR offer reasonable value for a player of Brees’ skill set. If he’s healthy, he’s going to produce.
