Drew Brees, QB, New Orleans Saints

FanDuel Price: $8,600
Projected Points: 22.8

Averaging the fourth-most (283.8) yards per game of any quarterback this season, and yet to throw an interception, Drew Brees has shown the consistency that we look for when paying up for a player.

Following the New Orleans Saints bye week, Brees will get just his second home game of the season. His first home game of the season came in Week 2 against the New England Patriots, when he threw for a season-high 356 yards and two touchdowns. Granted, that was against a Patriots defense that's giving up the most (335.0) passing yards per game of any team this season, but Brees delivered like a stud when he was supposed to.

This week, Brees will get a tougher test against the Detroit Lions, who have held four of the five quarterbacks they've faced this year under 20 FanDuel points. But the Lions are actually giving up the fourth-most (275.0) passing yards per game. Detroit's seven interceptions are actually the fourth-best in the league, but Brees hasn't thrown one yet.

After Cam Newton carved up the Detroit defense for 355 passing yards and 3 touchdowns in Week 5, expect Brees to have his way with the Lions at the Superdome this Sunday.
