me some brees. First time owner and Purdue alum. He nearly outscored another TEAM in my 14er. In Drew we trust.

He’s still not getting the respect. He just broke the all time completions record, he’s about to get the all time yardage record.

Yep, not a great match up -- BAL has been playing lights out in the secondary, and can generate a great pass rush to boot.
That said, not too many WW options I would say clearly would do better -- Winston would be one, Dalton the other. Both guys long rostered in my league.
Other than those, I'll take Brees over the wide variance of Mayfield on the road, Trubisky having to face off NE...who else you got?
As far as other choices you likely drafted, yes, Cam Newton -- even against a tough PHI D -- makes sense given what he gives you on the ground. Rivers too.
But after that, I think Brees is smart enough to adjust game plan -- before and during the game -- and leverage guys like Kamara and Watson more to attack short/middle with the pass. Kamara is good enough on his own to create, and if Watson hits a few up-the-middle seams, could be nice for solid rips and EX targets. And Thomas is talented enough for a few deep 50/50s.
Rolling Brees out with confidence, knowing he won't likely net me over 20, but will have a solid floor that will contribute enough this week.

Another fantastic performance by Brees today. Baltimore hadn't allowed a 2nd half TD all year, Brees got two in the 4th.

Just over 18 points today for me - gutsy performance over a tough D.
The guy is match up proof.

Wow. This thread is quiet.
Any Brees owners concerned that the offense goes more run heavy down the stretch? NO isn't going to be facing the LARs every week.
This week will be interesting. @CINCI. Favored. Could see CINCI offense all screwed up minus AJ Green and Dalton being Dalton. Cinci D is horrendous as well. Could see NO getting up big and then just handing the rock off to Kamara/Ingram. Especially with it being outdoors.
Schedule looks promising for the most part:Think Brees will have to keep pace against the likes of PHI, ATL, TB, CAR, PIT. Great playoff stretch. However, several games down the end there are outdoors. where Brees numbers usually are lower.

As for this week, I'm sitting him for Cam. This is definitely a game they control the ball on the ground.

I do think some of the concerns about this offense turning more run-heavy as the weather turns, and NO getting up on opponents and taking the gas off the pass game -- as well as the ever-present and maddening 5-7 snaps/game that Peyton loves to use his useless gadget QB for -- are well founded and will mean we won't see those 30+ FPS games like we did vs TB, ATL, WAS, and LAR this year.
We may indeed see a game or two in the sub-10 points like against NYG or MIN (and if I'm a betting man, likely we will see it during the upcoming PHI game or during the playoffs against PIT and CAR)
But that said, totally agree with the above posters -- if you have Brees, you start him. No need to get cute.

No.
Every single remaining game is in a dome or a stadium with a retractable roof other than against the Bucs, so weather will not be as big a factor as it could be.

Also, Drew Brees is in the middle of arguably the greatest season by a QB in NFL history. Sean Payton will keep feeding him to solidify that.

He’s thrown 21 TDS and ONE INT while completing 77% of his passes. If Mahomes gets it instead I’m going to be so mad.
