Week 10 at Cincinnati Bengals
Drew Brees completed 25-of-36 passes for 346 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints’ Week 9 win over the Rams. Brees lit up L.A.’s defense in the first half, finding Alvin Kamara for a touchdown late in the first quarter, hitting Tre’Quan Smith for a touchdown in the second, and tight end Ben Watson from 13 yards out just before halftime. The entire New Orleans offense fell asleep in the third quarter when the Rams made their comeback but with the game hanging in the balance in the final minutes, Brees lobbed a perfect pass over corner Marcus Peters (who wasn’t ready when the Saints snapped the ball) on a 72-yard touchdown pass to Michael Thomas. Ranked as our QB5 for Week 10, you can keep Brees in your lineup as a QB1 when the Saints travel to Cincinnati on Sunday. The Bengals rank No. 23 against fantasy QBs this year so while it’s a road game for Brees, the matchup is very good.
