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.
