Drew Brees
QB - NO
Height: 6' Weight: 209 lbsAge: 38College: PurdueDrafted: #32 (2nd Rd.)
Expert Note
View More NotesBrees is in the midst of a typically excellent season, completing 69.1% of his passes with eight touchdowns through four games. He'll take on a tough Lions defense that allows the eighth-fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this weekend. But off a bye and at home, there's simply no doubting Brees, and he's a fairly obvious top-five play here.
