Drew Brees Has A Ways To Go
Drew Brees (lung, ribs) was designated to return to practice on Wednesday, but head coach Sean Payton said that Brees has "a ways to go" in his recovery from 11 broken ribs and a punctured lung. "He's got a ways to go still, and he's someone we're not gonna just hurry back and just put him in the game," Payton said. Brees felt good in practice on Wednesday, but it sounds unlikely that they'll rush him back to play in Week 15 against the Chiefs. Don't expect to have the future Hall of Fame quarterback for your fantasy lineups this weekend. It'll likely be Taysom Hill again under center. He's gone 3-1 in place of Brees and will remain a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers because of his rushing ability, mainly.

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.
