Drew Brees
QB - NO
Expert Note
View More NotesAtlanta allowed 335 passing yards and three touchdowns to Cam Newton, who had tallied fewer than 200 aerial yards in six of his previous seven regular-season contests. Brees followed a sensational Week 1 with a quiter outing against Cleveland, but he should pile up the yards against a Falcons defense missing Keanu Neal and Deion Jones.

Saints QB Drew Brees completed 28-of-35 passes for 243 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's Week 2 win over the Browns.
Fantasy Impact
While Brees didn't go off as he did in the season opener, he played well enough to keep the Saints within the win for the duration of the game. Finishing the day with a 114.6 QB Rating and a pair of significant TD passes to Michael Thomas, Brees continues to look like he's found the fountain of youth in 2018.
