Fantasy Football, Week 10: High value plays for FanDuel
By Dylan Broady
Drew Brees, New Orleans Saints, $8,400
Stats: 2,336 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, 1 INT, 25 rushing yards, 2 touchdowns
Drew Brees is the NFL’s all-time passing leader. His Week 9 performance against the previously-undefeated Los Angeles Rams just further proves his why he remains elite at age 39. He will look to add on to his passing record Week 10 against the league’s worst passing defense in the Cincinnati Bengals.
Brees threw his first interception of the season against the Rams but has been on a complete tear, racking up records and yards along the way. His 18:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio is the best among quarterbacks. Even on the road in Cincinnati, we think Brees could put on another dominant performance for his fantasy owners.
The Bengals have been trying to keep pace with the top teams this season. A recent injury to wide receiver A.J. Green places the Bengals in even worse shape moving forward as he will reportedly miss multiple wees. This injury is significant to not only the offense but the defense. As teams like the Saints can put up points fast or churn the clock and rush the ball down your throat.
Brees and Co. will have another good day on the field and help your lineups achieve greatness with them. Cincinnati is horrid against the pass as mentioned, and against the rush it doesn’t get much better as it is the 26th-ranked unit. Load up on New Orleans this week as this game could get out of hand pretty quickly.
Prediction: 300 passing yards, 3 touchdowns
