Drew Brees is returning to San Diego for the first time since he was a member of the Chargers from 2001 to 2005. He will face a San Diego Chargers' defense that has given up over 300 passing yards each week to opposing quarterbacks.
Brees is averaging 354 passing yards per game and has the second-most fantasy points of any player. His 8 touchdowns are tied for the league lead, and he is tied for 4th in fantasy points per drop back (0.5) this year.
In Week 3, he snapped a string of 305 interception-less pass attempts, but hasn’t thrown an interception in consecutive games since Week 12 and Week 13 of last season.
The New Orleans Saints are almost always a pass-heavy unit, but that should be in case again this week as they are 3.5-point underdogs in a game with the highest over/under of the week.
