2009 Outlook: Stud (low risk)

Drew Brees came close to breaking the single season passing yardage record in 2008, and should be one of the first quarterbacks drafted in fantasy drafts this season. Brees led the league in passing yardage and touchdowns in 2008 and should put up similar numbers in 2009 with all of his major weapons coming back healthy. Tom Brady and Peyton Manning will challenge Brees for the top quarterback spot in fantasy leagues, but barring a major injury, Brees will be a consistent top producer in fantasy leagues. Brees will probably be selected somewhere between the 15th and 25th overall picks in fantasy leagues, so if you are targeting Brees for your fantasy team, plan on using a second or early third round pick to select him.

Month Position Franchise/Comments
May 3.01 FantasySharks.com 
June 2.10 FantasySharks.com - What's not to like about 5,000 yards and 35+ TD's? I don't usually like taking QB's early but this year I like getting Brees or Brady and don't mind paying to get them.
July 2.01 FansFantasyFootball.com - Thought about a WR (Johnson) or another RB here but Brees anywhere in round 2 is excellent value...I am not a big QB before round 7 thinker but you can't pass up Brees in round 2
