Drew Brees Just One of Many to Gouge the Dallas Defense

I learned a lesson tonight that I should have already figured out, but since my fan-dom was blinding my better fantasy judgement I didn't. That lesson was this--start whatever quarterback is playing Dallas. It's sad to say, but there is no safer bet right now.

From Bleacher Report
I suppose to be fair you have to consider that the latest butt-kicking came at the hands of New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees. The man does know a thing or two about passing the ball. He proved that once again by hanging 392 on the 'Boys and four touchdowns.

But he wasn't even one of the best. Now had he stayed in he game and completed another pass or two he would have cracked 400 yards, and become the fifth QB to do so this season against Dallas.


The four that have: Eli Manning (457 yards), Phillip Rivers (401), Peyton Manning (414), and Mathew Stafford (488).

    Brees torching them does not make them a bad Defense. Neither do the others. Of the four QBs listed, all of them are weekly starts regardless of the opponent. You can argue that Eli is having a bad year, but over the past few years he's been consistently among the top ten fantasy QBs.

      Dude--they are giving up yards at a record setting pace. The Saints set a team record last night and a new NFL one for first downs in a game. I got nothing but love for the 'Boys but this defense sucks.
