Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

FanDuel Price: $8,500
Projected Points: 25.1

The New Orleans Saints lead all teams in Week 14 with an implied total of 32.00 points in their rematch against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The first contest between those two teams in Week 1 of this season resulted in a combined 88 points being scored, with the Saints getting 40 of those. Drew Brees exploded for 439 yards and 3 touchdowns with no interceptions for a total of 31.6 FanDuel points in that game.

Since then, Brees has topped 300 passing yards in four more games and thrown three or more touchdowns in a game six times. Meanwhile, Tampa Bay has continued to struggle defending the pass, giving up the second-most FanDuel points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season. That includes a stretch of seven straight games without intercepting a pass at one point this year.

This represents an excellent rebound spot for Brees after his streak of four games with at least three touchdown passes ended in last week's loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Our models agree, projecting him to lead all quarterbacks with 3.0 passing touchdowns in Week 14.
