Drew Brees

So far, Drew Brees has been projected over 23 points in both weeks’ games. So far, Drew Brees has yet to actually score 20 points in either game. In Week 1, he threw for 160 yards and two touchdowns; in Week 2, he threw for 312 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

Fortunately, for the Saints, he is still managing the offense and getting passes through and setting up the run. Unfortunately, for his fantasy managers, he is not producing at the level that they hoped when they drafted him before the season.

With the strength of the Saints schedule, I don’t see Brees getting much better than this — especially adding his age as a contributing factor. He might have one of 25-30 point games, but outside of that, he is tradeable for any of the below.

Below I have listed some players that I would trade for Drew Brees straight up.

Players I would trade him for: Gardner Minshew II (Jaguars), Matt Ryan (Falcons), Cam Newton (Patriots)

Next. 5 Post-Week 1 Linebackers to target. dark

All of these quarterbacks have been playing out of there mind. Cam Newton is a top 10 quarterback right now and he is making less than backups in some places. Matt Ryan and Gardner Minshew, as they did last year, are continuing to thrive.
