Question

Who is a better pick for fantasy football, Drew Brees or Derek Anderson?

Answer 1

Brees has a better history.  Anderson really only played last year although he did put up great numbers.  I like Brees better though especially with the addition of Shockey as their Tight End.

Answer 2

Drew Brees, no question about it. Anderson is inconsistant and has too many turnovers. The Browns are more focused on the run game inside the 20 and should be a head in more games this year and run the ball even more than last year.

Brees had 700 more yards thrown than Anderson. This shows how focused the Saints are on passing and how they don't trust their run game. The Saints throw more in the red zone and they did add Shockey. With Shockey, I think defenses won't be able to cover both him and Colston, so I see an even better year for Colston (and more passing TDs).

Brees has had more success than Anderson and if you look from year to year, those QBs who have a history of success, tend to keep it up. Those QBs with a break out season, sometimes fall back down to earth.

Go with Brees over Anderson every time (and Roethlisberger and Hasselbeck over Anderson).
