Scouting report

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 at Los Angeles Rams

Drew Brees completed 29-of-41 passes for 385 yards, with 2 touchdowns and an interception in the Saints' 34-31 win over Washington in overtime last week. It was vintage Brees, as he was forced to bring New Orleans down from multiple scores late in the fourth quarter. For anyone wondering whether or not the Saints could still chuck the ball around the yard if need be, Brees answered that question with both of his touchdowns coming in the final 2:53 of regulation.

The Saints will travel to L.A. to take on the Rams in Week 12. Even though he's coming off a big performance, this is a tough matchup for Brees, as he faces the No. 2 ranked fantasy defense against quarterbacks. Ranked as our No. 10 QB, Brees is a low-end QB1 for Sunday.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Washington

Drew Brees completed 18-of-25 passes for 184 yards and also rushed twice for 6 yards and a touchdown in the Saints' Week 10 win over the Bills. Unfortunately, the Saints' running game was so dominant that the future Hall of Famer took a backseat in the team's win. In fact, that has been the story all season for Brees, who has been more efficient than explosive. He's been great, but nothing compared to what he has been for fantasy owners in the past.

The Saints will host Washington on Sunday and Brees is our No. 5 QB for Week 11. Washington ranks as fantasy's No. 13 defense against quarterbacks. It's a good but not great matchup. Unless you also have Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Alex Smith, or Carson Wentz on your roster, Brees should be in your lineup.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 at Buffalo Bills

Drew Brees completed 22-of-27 passes for 263 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Saints’ rout of the Bucs last Sunday. Brees was once again efficient, although he now has thrown for over 300 yards once in his last four games (a rarity for Brees owners). He had a 33-yard touchdown on a screen pass to rookie Alvin Kamara in the second quarter in which Kamara was dazzling on the play. The other score was a 36-yarder to Ted Ginn in the third quarter to put the Saints up for good.

Brees is no longer lighting up the league because the Saints are more balanced offensively. He has a tough matchup this Sunday in Buffalo, where the Bills rank 10th against fantasy quarterbacks this season. Ranked as our No. 10 QB, view Brees as a low-end QB1 for Week 10.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Drew Brees completed 23-of-28 passes for 299 yards in the Saints' Week 8 win over the Bears. For the first time this season, Brees failed to throw a touchdown pass in a game. His overall play was efficient but he's only thrown 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions in his last two games. The Saints are also balanced offensively for the first time since 2009 and are relying more on Mark Ingram, Alvin Kamara and the running game.

All of that being said, Brees is still a weekly QB1 and has a great matchup on Sunday when the Saints host the Bucs. Tampa Bay has zero pass rush, could be without starting corner Brent Grimes, and ranks 31st against fantasy QBs this season. Ranked as our QB2 for Week 9, make sure Brees is in your lineups this week.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Chicago Bears

Drew Brees completed 27-of-38 passes for 331 yards with 1 touchdown and 2 interceptions in the Saints' Week 7 win over the Packers. Brees struggled early, throwing a pair of interceptions in the first half. He did rally to throw for over 300 yards but he didn't make the same brilliant reads that we're accustomed to seeing out of Brees. Nevertheless, he's a weekly start and ranks as our No. 3 QB for Week 8. Get him in your lineup for when the Saints host the Bears on Sunday.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Green Bay Packers

Drew Brees completed 21-of-31 passes for 186 yards with 2 touchdowns and 2 interceptions in the Saints’ Week 6 win over the Lions. The entire game was a turnover fest but New Orleans escaped with its third straight win. Brees is now averaging 17.85 points per game but he’s capable of much more. Ranked as our No. 2 QB for Week 7, he should put together a solid effort against a Packers defense ranked 17th against fantasy quarterbacks.

NO QB Drew Brees - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Detroit Lions

Drew Brees completed 29-of-41 passes for 268 yards and 2 touchdowns in the Saints’ Week 4 win over the Dolphins in London. Brees wasn’t as sharp as he normally is to start the game, but he settled in during the second half. He completed 5-of-6 passes after halftime, leading the Saints on a touchdown drive. The Lions own the No. 7 fantasy defense against quarterbacks and force turnovers on a weekly basis, but Brees remains a high-end QB1. He’s our No. 3 ranked QB for Week 6.
