Drew Brees In The QB2 Range Against Packers
Drew Brees will face off against the undefeated Packers in Week 3. Brees comes into the contest with just 472 passing yards, three touchdowns and a bunch of questions about his ability to play quarterback at the age of 41. For all the concerns surrounding Brees, his fantasy floor has remained more stable than one would think, with two scores in Week 1 and 312 passing yards in Week 2. He won't put up week-winning numbers against a Packers Defense that ranks 13th in pass DVOA, though he also won't completely filibuster either. Brees is best looked at as a mid-to-high QB2 for Week 3.

Drew Brees Not Serious About NFL Comeback
Drew Brees (shoulder) over the years, isn't taking Brees' recent social media posts about unretiring seriously. Brees underwent left shoulder surgery two weeks ago and would be physically unable to play until at least September or October, according to a source. It was pretty much assumed that Brees' comments about unretiring recently were made in jest, so this report from Werder shouldn't come as a huge surprise to anyone. The 43-year-old will be a first-ballot Hall of Famer when his time comes, but he won't be following in the footsteps of Tom Brady this year. The New Orleans Saints are fully committed to quarterback Jameis Winston at this point.
