Week 11 at Carolina
Drew Brees completed 21-of-29 passes for 303 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions in the Saints' loss to the Broncos in Week 10. The veteran signal-caller proved once again that he's matchup proof in fantasy, nearly leading the Saints to an impressive win over one of the league's best defenses. If it weren't for the Broncos returning a blocked extra point for two points in the closing minutes of the game, Brees' outstanding touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks late in the fourth quarter likely would have stood as the game-winner.
Brees will have an easier matchup on Thursday night when the Saints travel to Charlotte to take on the Panthers. Carolina owns the No. 25 ranked fantasy defense versus quarterbacks and Brees already torched the Panthers once this year, throwing for 465 yards and four touchdowns in the Saints' Week 6 win at the Superdome. Granted, the Saints are often less explosive on the road than they are at home, but Brees remains a top 5 quarterback this week. In fact, he ranks as our QB5 for Week 11.
