Mr. 5000 (Fantasy Gold)
The Saints Drew Brees is like the Golden
Goose in fantasy football when it comes to quarterbacks. Every year he just
produces to fantasy owners delight. Over the past 11 seasons Brees has finished
no worse than the No.6 fantasy quarterback, including two number one finishes.
Brees leads one of the league’s premiere
offenses, ranked as the top passing offense in the league two years in a row.
This season, even with the loss of wide receiver Brandin Cooks, the Saints
passing game remains healthy as Brees will have lots of weapons to throw to
once again.
Brees has posted staggering passing numbers
throughout his career. He is only one of four quarterbacks in the history of
the NFL to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season and he’s done it five times.
He has actually passed for more than 5,000 yards in four of his last six
campaigns, including over 4,800 yards in all six.
Since 2010 (7 straight seasons), the
Saints quarterback has completed no fewer than 422 passes in each season,
averaging 448 completions per season over that span; that’s a lot of targets to
go around. Brees also threw 37 touchdowns in 2016, it was the 9th straight
season he has thrown 30 or more touchdowns in a season.
Let’s face it, Brees is Fantasy Gold!
That’s My Take. ~David Ortega
