I am not sure there is a more overrated and over drafted player in fantasy this year.He is being taken around pick 59 which is before Decker, Jordan Matthews, John Brown, Geo Bernard, etc. He is even being taken before Brady and Brees. Why someone would take Ben before Brees just does not compute with me. In a 6 pt per passing TD league, Ben's best ppg average for a season was 22.8. Brees' worst was 23.1 In a 4 pt per TD league, Ben's career best 18.8 ppg average is better than only 1 of Drew's last 8 seasons. Ben has topped 30 TDs twice is his career. Brees has done it 8 straight years. Ben has missed 20 games in his career. Brees has missed 3 games during that time span. Drew is old and I could see if people thought he was trending down, but he isn't. Over his 10 years in New Orleans, 2015 was the 7th highest ppg Brees has ever posted.
Plus there is the obvious reason that it is crazy to take a QB early. Kirk Cousins, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyrod Taylor, Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, Blake Bortles, Matt Stafford. Those are all QBs that scored more ppg than Ben did in 2015
