Some questioned Brees for his move to New Orleans, going to a team that hadn't done much in recent seasons. But Brees seemed to be the answer for the Saints. He took advantage of a host of offensive weapons, posting a career high in yardage while throwing 26 touchdowns passes and just 11 interceptions. In his last three seasons, Brees completed over 64 percent of his passes each season and has at least 3,100-passing yards and 24 touchdowns during that span. He is a top quarterback in the NFL. Brees is accurate, makes good decisions and utilizes all his offensive players. The Saints offense remains very good, so Brees should have similar success.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Brees won't last nearly as long this season in your draft. He should be a top-five quarterback pick and go in the late second or third round. Another 4,000-yard season and 25-plus touchdowns seem likely. Plus, he doesn't turn the ball over much, which is another added bonus for owners.
