Brees eviscerates Raiders
Drew Brees decimated the Raiders on Saturday afternoon, completing 14-of-17 passes for 179 yards and two touchdowns.
Our View: With Tom Brady now nursing a sore shoulder, there truly is no debate - Drew Brees is the premier fantasy quarterback out there.
Brees nearly flawless at Oakland
News: Saints QB Drew Brees was so good against the Raiders in his team's third preseason game that he only played just over one quarter of ball.

Brees looking good
Drew Brees had a solid night on Saturday against the Texans, throwing for 87 yards while going 9-of-14.
Our View: Many people's top overall pick also threw a touchdown while playing rather sparingly in a Saints blowout loss.
Brown to undergo surgery
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that offensive lineman Jammal Brown has undergone surgery for a sports hernia and will miss 1-to-2 months.
Our View: Zach Strief will take his place at left tackle. Brown is in the upper-echelon of NFL left tackles, so his absence could create problems for Drew Brees on his blindside.
Brown may have hernia
The Saints believe Pro Bowl left tackle Jammal Brown is dealing with a sports hernia, according to Pro Football Talk.
Our View: He has been sidelined with a groin injury that the team now believes is a hernia. He is set to visit a specialist to get further tests done. Brown is Drew Brees' blindside protector, so any serious injury involving him could be bad news for the team and Brees owners.

News: Saints QB Drew Brees reported to camp Thursday for the final practice with the Texans in Houston. He had been attending to family matters after the death of his mother. "I got back last night, watched the film, it looked like there was some great work yesterday," Brees said. "I think this is important work to get anytime you can go up against another team you're not familiar with since they're not in your division and in fact in a whole other conference. You just get new looks that you haven't seen all training camp, because it's competitive because everybody wants to get out here and play well and you have something to prove." [...]

Brees returns to practice
According to the New Orleans Times-Picayune, Saints' quarterback Drew Brees returned to the practice field on Monday after missing the weekend due to the death of his mother.
Our View: Missing a few days of practice is nothing for a guy like Brees, and he is back in there today. Obviously, this will have no effect on his fantasy status as the number one quarterback in the league.

Saints | P. Thomas works as quarterback in Wildcat
Bradley Handwerger, of WWLTV.com, reports New Orleans Saints RB Pierre Thomas worked as the quarterback in the team's version of a Wildcat offense Friday, Aug. 7. It was the first time anyone publicly has seen head coach Sean Payton unleash the scheme. QB Drew Brees lined up under center, then split out wide left and Thomas took the snap behind center. Thomas said they tried it once during OTAs, but was not sure if it would be put into the offense permanently. Thomas said he would be ready to pass the football if needed.
Meachem impressing early
Robert Meachem has been looking like "he belongs" so far in Saints training camp, according to the Associated Press.
Our View: Meachem has famously been a bust the past two seasons, catching just 12 balls. But with Lance Moore recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, he's been playing with the first team in camp and looking impressive. With Drew Brees under center, he could be worth a flier if he is one of the Saints top three receivers this season.
Greer in line to start
Jabari Greer is likely to be a starter at cornerback for the Saints this season, according to the New Orleans Times-Picayune.
Our View: Greer, brought in the offseason from Buffalo, has been the only player to intercept quarterback Drew Brees in camp so far this season. He believes he has a chance to record both a decent amount of interceptions and sacks under defensive coordinator Gregg Williams, and could be someone to keep an eye on in IDP leagues despite his mostly unimpressive days in Buffalo.
Saints hope they're getting better with age
Drew Brees turned 30 this year, still in his prime, but old enough to start pondering how much time is really left for him to win it all.
