Drew Brees Expecting Breakout Year For Tre'Quan Smith
Tre'Quan Smith was predicted as a breakout player for the 2020 NFL season. Not by fantasy analysts, but by his own quarterback, Drew Brees, who said, "Tre'Quan Smith is a guy who I think is ready to really blossom and just explode in this offense." The 24-year-old is entering his third season in the league and has had a knack for finding the end zone- 10 touchdowns in two years- despite only being targeted 69 times in 2018 and 2019 combined. In reality, Smith is fifth in the pecking order at best, but perhaps he can snatch some of the targets left over by the departed Ted Ginn Jr.

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.
