QUARTERBACKS Drew Brees FD 8500 DK 7400 Opponent TB Proj Points FD - 23.72 DK - 24.55 Nobody turns on a person faster than the DFS community. Drew Brees went from super-consistent industry darling to the WOAT with breathtaking speed, if two weeks ago Twitter was to be believed. And then he dropped 400 yards and 4 touches against the Cardinals last week. The truth about Drew Brees is that he's one of the most consistent fantasy quarterbacks in all of football, with just a small handful of performances this season that you'd be unhappy with on these prices. That two of those games happened to come recently is honestly neither here nor there. Brees leads the NFL in yards and touchdowns, and is 2nd in completion percentage. He's a stud's stud, and he isn't priced like one. He'll roll it back against Tampa Bay this week, and while one of his worst games of the season was against them, I'm not ready to look past the fact that they've allowed the 5th highest yards per attempt to opposing QBs this season. If anything this just drives down Brees' ownership percentage, making him an even juicier spot for us. Andrew Luck FD 8300 DK 7000 Opponent OAK Proj Points FD - 22.92 DK - 24 Luck ran into some terrible... luck last week against Minnesota, as the game got out of hand quickly and his role was reduced to dude-who-hands-the-ball-to-Frank-Gore. And you know what? He still wasn't bad on his price here. Luck is basically a more consistent, lower ceiling version of Drew Brees, which makes him a very attractive cash game option this...
