2019 Outlook
Depth Chart
Much has been made about the demise of Drew Brees, as the first-ballot Hall of Famer finished as the number 10 quarterback in fantasy despite setting an NFL record with a completion percentage of 74.4.

Brees' 3992 passing yards and 489 pass attempts were the fewest since he joined the Saints back in 2007, and his No.10 ranking would have been even worse had he not posted a career-high of four rushing touchdowns.

Based on the team's commitment to run the ball and improvement to what for many years was a bad defense, the days of Brees throwing the ball 670 times for 5000 yards are likely a thing of the past. At age 40 and with Alvin Kamara and a stout offensive line, head coach Sean Payton is doing the smart thing for his football team by limiting the number of times Brees throws the ball and gets hit by opposing linebackers and defensive lineman.

Despite throwing for less than 4000 yards (It should be noted that Brees only played in 15 games), Brees did increase his passing touchdown total by nine from the previous season. His volume is down, but his efficiency went up, and he has averaged 2.5 rushing touchdowns in each of his last two seasons.

Sure, the days of Brees being a league-winning quarterback are likely over. But the NFL's all-time leading passer is still in command of a top-5 offense filled with talented skill position players. He may not get you 5000 yards, but he is falling in ADP and could be a nice option for owners who miss out on one of the top six quarterbacks - especially in leagues who punish quarterbacks for interceptions.

News From The Past 90 Days
Drew Brees expects to remain a Saint
"Not a matter if (a new contract) gets done, but when"
By: Doug Orth | Thu Jan 23, 11:15 pm

New Orleans
"That day comes for all of us" Saints QB Drew Brees on Eli Manning's retirement and his thoughts on his own future and getting over a third postseason heartbreak. (NFL Network - Jane Slater)

FFToday's Take: An impending free agent, Brees sounded confident in the interview that he'll play in 2020 and left little doubt that he expects to do so in New Orleans. The 41-year-old missed five games this season due to a thumb injury, although a strong finish allowed him to put up 27 touchdown passes. At an age where a falloff could be coming around the corner at any time, Brees should be considered a high-upside QB2 for fantasy purposes next season.
