The New Orleans Saints offense struggled against what was expected to be one of the league's weaker defenses this year. Brees and company are known for struggling at times on the road, but this was a poorer performance than anyone would've expected.
Fantasy impact: Garbage time can be a fantasy owner's best friend. Brees marched down the field several times towards the end of the game with the Cowboys nursing a double-digit lead. He hit Jimmy Graham and Josh Hill for his touchdowns in the fourth quarter.
Next week the Saints head back home to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Another promising matchup, we can probably expect better things out of this offense when it takes the field in the Superdome. Brees is a high-end QB1 once again.
