Saints | Brees turning the football over recently Tue Nov 3, 09:56 AM
The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees has turned the football over six times (four interceptions, two fumbles) in the past two games.
| Our view: Brees is extremely accurate, but one of his best attributes is his short memory. He's cold blooded, and can throw a pick then turn around and still challenge a defense and make tough throws. Brees throws into very small windows, and sometimes defenders can make a play on those passes. We guarantee he didn't expect Brent Grimes to jump about 3-feet in the air for Brees first interception against the Falcons. |

The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was 25-for-33 for 308 yards with two touchdown passes and an interception Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons.
| Our view: Brees gave up a defensive TD in the first half when he was sacked and fumbled deep in his own end, but otherwise he was spreading the ball around and keeping the opponent off-balance as always. |

The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees went 22-for-38 for 298 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in Week 7. He was also sacked five times in the game.
| Our view: Brees had a nightmare first half filled with turnovers, but his touchdown right before the half revived the Saints after they had fallen behind by 21 points. |

The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was 23-for-30 for 369 yards with four touchdown passes Week 6 against the New York Giants.
| Our view: Brees had no difficulty finding open receivers and exposing the flaws in the Giants' secondary behind great pass protection. Brees was very accurate in small windows and showed little fear in throwing the ball to his trusted targets. |

The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was 16-for-29 for 172 yards during the team's Week 3 game against the Buffalo Bills. Brees failed to throw for 200 yards for the first time in 22 games, snapping his league-leading streak.
| Our view: The Saints won without Brees throwing a touchdown pass, and now will face a fellow unbeaten team when they go up against the Jets in week four. |

Saints | Brees trusts Colston more than any receiver he has played with Thu Sep 24, 10:23 AM
John DeShazier, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports that Saints QB Drew Brees said he trusts WR Marques Colston more than he has ever trusted anyone on the field.
| Our view: This is apparent by the jumpballs and throws into tight windows Brees makes to Colston every week. Even in a passing offense that spreads the ball around, Colston is a #1 for NFL and fantasy purposes. |

Saints | Brees throws three TD passes Week 2 Sun Sep 20, 05:09 PM
The Associated Press reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was 25-for-34 for 311 yards with three touchdowns and an interception during the team's Week 2 game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
| Our view: Brees easily carved up the Eagles' secondary, showing a preference for Marques Colston but again spreading the ball around (nine teammates had at least one catch this week). It's hard to see someone else catching him as the season's best fantasy quarterback. |

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees went 14-for-17 for 179 yards and two touchdowns in the team's preseason game Saturday, Aug. 29.
| Our view: Brees was having his way with the defense, and has proven why he should be one of the top two quarterbacks taken in every fantasy draft. |
Saints | Brees solid in preseason game Sun Aug 23, 12:30 PM

Saints | Brown leaves team to get possible hernia checked Thu Aug 20, 07:49 PM
Pat Yasinskas, of ESPN.com, reports that Saints starting LT Jamaal Brown left the team to fly to Philadelphia to have a pain in his upper groin checked. Head coach Sean Payton admits that there's a concern that the injury is a sports hernia. "That's what he's being examined for," Payton said. "We'll wait and see and get some feedback. He's having the exam later this afternoon after flying out this morning."
| Our view: This would obviously hurt the Saints, but we would hesitate to drop Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Pierre Thomas, and Reggie Bush too far unless Brown is going to miss significant time. Even in that case, Brees would remain a top three QB, and Colston a top 12 WR on our boards. |

Saints | QB Harrington has failed to impress Sun Jun 21, 06:41 PM
Jeff Duncan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, says that QB Joey Harrington has failed to impress at the Saints 3rd-string QB.
| Our view: Harrington was supposed to be a special reclamation project for coach Sean Payton, but so far has been a disappointment in New Orleans after showing flashes during his short stint in Atlanta. The Saints would be in trouble if starter Drew Brees went down with an injury as they'd have to rely on 38-year old backup Mark Brunell. |

Saints | Brees says connection with Shockey growing Thu May 21, 06:13 PM
NewOrleansSaints.com reports New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees said he believes his connection with TE Jeremy Shockey has grown since the two have been able to work together this offseason.
| Our view: Brees commented "Obviously the more time we have together on the field and in the classroom, film room and everything else, the better we're going to become together." Shockey is taking a different approach this offseason and is actually practicing with his team and not working out in Miami. He's been a disappointment so far in New Orleans but could turn it around if he stays healthy. |
