Drew Brees Fantasy

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said on NFL Network's Total Access on Tuesday that playing with quarterback Drew Brees will be similar to his days with Peyton Manning in Denver. "Like I said in '14, that's wide receiver heaven. To be back in the situation with another Hall of Fame quarterback and trying to do something special and win a Super Bowl, I'm all in. Truthfully, I'm blessed to be in this position that I'm in right now," Sanders said. He had 101 catches for 1,404 yards and nine touchdowns in his first year with Manning in Denver, and he had over 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons with the Broncos. He might not return to those glory days, but Sanders can be a reliable and cheap WR3 for fantasy owners in the Big Easy if he can stay healthy.

The New Orleans Saints agreed to a two-year deal worth roughly $50 million with quarterback Drew Brees on Tuesday, according to a source. This was inevitable after Brees announced he would return for another season, but only with the Saints. The future Hall of Famer took a below-market deal to get one more shot at a Super Bowl run in 2020. The 41-year-old missed time with an injured finger and showed some diminishing arm strength last season, but he still has what it takes to lead this team deep into the playoffs, and he can still be a solid QB1, albeit without the sky-high upside, for fantasy owners. In just 11 games in 2019, Brees had 27 touchdowns and only four interceptions.

The New Orleans Saints are close to finalizing a new deal with quarterback Drew Brees, and it could be completed as soon as Tuesday. Brees announced that he would return for another go at it in 2020, but that it would only come with the Saints. He's expected to give the franchise a hometown discount to play for one last season. The future Hall of Famer missed some games with a freak finger injury in 2019 and looked to have lost some of his arm strength, but he still has excellent weapons in New Orleans and should at least be a low-end QB1 target for fantasy owners despite his age.
