Drew Brees Has Tough Test Against Ravens
6 years agoNew Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees heads into Week 7 sporting a QB rating of 122.3 with 11 touchdowns and zero interceptions. The Saints are fresh off a bye week but will have a tough test against a Ravens defense that is allowing the second fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season. The Ravens just sacked the Titans Marcus Mariota 11 times in Week 6 and have not allowed multiple touchdown passes to five of their first six quarterbacks faced. Brees is no average quarterback but can struggle when playing outdoors on the road. In his lone performance playing outdoors this season, Brees put up season-lows in completions (18), yards per completion (6.8), yards (217) and did throw a touchdown pass. Among all the matchups that the Saints will face this season, the Ravens defense at home will be among its toughest task of the season. Expectations need to be slightly lowered in fantasy for Brees but still will be a top-10 option among quarterbacks.
