The Saints are loaded with top level fantasy performers in Drew Brees, Marques Colston, Reggie Bush, and now Jeremy Shockey. See how they rank and the fantasy value of the rest of the Saints offense.

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS 
         FANTASY DEPTH CHART

Key:

PTR= Position Tier Rank. This is the tier level where the player should be slotted in drafts.

1 = Elite Player.

2 = Solid Performer

3 = Backend starter/Bench fill-in

4 = Roster filler or long-term prospect

0 = No value

ITR = In The Rotation

PB = Position Battle

S = Starter

QB                                      PTR

Drew Brees – S                  2

Mark Brunell                        3

Tyler Palko                           4

Summary:  Brees should be on everyone’s fantasy radar come draft day.  He has weapons at every position.  Lack of a solid running game may force the Saints to pass even more.  Nothing but fantasy goodness here.  Brunell gives New Orleans a solid backup if Brees were to go down.

RB                                        PTR

Deuce McAllister – S           2

Reggie Bush - S                   2

Aaron Stecker                        3

Pierre Thomas                      4

Summary:  McAllister is somewhat of a risk since he is coming off surgery.  When healthy he is a productive back with a knack for the goal line.  Bush is a wildcard.  In leagues that reward PPR, he’s a great selection.  In leagues that reward only rushing yards, not so much.  He will frequently be used as a pass catcher out of the backfield.  Stecker is a nice insurance policy in case either one is injured.
