Drew Brees News: Brees completed 23-of-33 passes for 278 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Thursday's 17-13 win over the Falcons.

Brees completed 23-of-33 passes for 278 yards, with two touchdowns and no interceptions in Thursday's 17-13 win over the Falcons.

Brees finished with -6 rushing yards, thanks to the Saints' clock-wasting strategy at the end of the game. While it's hard to criticize the way he played, Brees' final statistics were a bit disappointing given the perceived weakness of Thursday's opponent. That's particularly true once you consider that Thursday's softball matchup was tucked between games against the 49ers and Seahawks. Still worth starting in the vast majority of leagues, Brees shouldn't be expected to produce his typical numbers in Week 13 against a stingy Seattle defense. The Seahawks rank second in pass defense and have surrendered just 12 touchdown tosses through 11 games.
