Drew Brees Expected to Start in Week 8
5 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees (thumb) is expected to start on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals "barring an unforeseen setback". Teddy Bridgewater did an excellent job in place of Brees, but all Saints skill position players will get a nice uptick in value with Brees under center. The Saints have a bye week next week, so the fact that they're putting Brees back in the lineup must mean that he really is ready to go. Alvin Kamara (knee, ankle) remains questionable, but the Saints could be getting back two of their best players. Fire Brees up as a QB1 against a very generous Arizona defense.
