Fantasy Analysis: The Saints quarterback had a rocky start to the season, with the team struggling to close games -- he just didn’t have his rhythm yet. On Sunday, Brees appeared to be the vintage 2011 version of himself, making tight-window throws, and piling on the yards and touchdowns from beginning to end. He is a must-start in fantasy leagues each week. When he’s firing on all cylinders like he was in Week 5, there aren’t many better fantasy quarterbacks.
