Player Notes

January 28, 2009
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that Saints quarterback Drew Brees has been named the FedEx Air NFL Player of the Year, beating out Arizona's Kurt Warner and Indianapolis' Peyton Manning.

Our View:The second quarterback in NFL history to throw for over 5,000 yards in a season, Brees narrowly missed breaking Dan Marino's single-season yardage record, coming up just 16 yards shy. The Saints' disappointing 8-8 season in 2008 was typified by the team's finale against Carolina, a game in which the New Orleans offense compensated for the shortcomings of the defense by rallying from a 20-point deficit, only to lose in the waning seconds on a Panthers field goal.

January 24, 2009
The New Orleans Saints are getting close to a deal to keep them in the Superdome for the foreseeable future, according to WWL radio in New Orleans.

Our View:The team would like to get the deal done in order to put in a bid for the Super Bowl, though the next available one is in 2013.

January 13, 2009
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports that the Saints have promoted quarterbacks coach Pete Carmichael Jr. to the position of offensive coordinator, replacing Doug Marrone, who moved on to become the head coach at Syracuse.

Our View:Fantasy owners have nothing to fear as far as the productivity with Drew Brees. Carmichael has been working with Payton and the QB for two years, and Payton calls the plays anyway.

January 6, 2009
Quarterback Drew Brees has been named as The Associated Press 2008 NFL Offensive Player of the Year, the AP reports. He earned 22 of the 50 votes and beat out Philip Rivers, DeAngelo Williams, Michael Turner, and Steve Smith. Brees passed for 5,069 yards during the season, which is the second-best mark of all-time.

Our View:Congrats to Drew, who excelled despite injuries to Marques Colston, Jeremy Shockey, and Reggie Bush. Brees is likely to sit atop the fantasy quarterback rankings entering 2009. Also, isn't it odd that Rivers and Williams finished second and third in this voting but didn't make the Pro Bowl?

December 28, 2008
Quarterback Drew Brees completed 30-of-49 passes for 386 yards with four touchdowns against one interception in the Week 17 loss to Carolina.

Our View:Despite falling short of Dan Marino's record (5,084), Brees still became only the second quarterback in league history with 5,000 passing yards in a season, finishing with 5,069. The Purdue product will go into 2009 as the No. 1 signal caller in fantasy football, and rightfully so given the pass heavy tendencies of the Saints' offensive scheme.
