Saints QB Drew Brees (ribs) timeline unchanged after second opinion

Drew Brees underwent further testing on his ribs and received a second opinion that did not change his timeline to return, meaning he is still expected to miss at least two games.

Fantasy Impact: 

Brees is dealing with broken ribs on both sides of his body and a collapsed lung, so the two-week timeline to return appears optimistic. The Saints will likely start Jameis Winston under center this week with Taysom Hill possibly seeing more snaps at quarterback in his gadget role. Winston's erratic accuracy and decision-making could be a threat to the fantasy value of Saints players, but he is also more likely to push the ball downfield than the aging Brees.
