New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees went 48-for-75 for 556 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this season.
Footballguys View: In the two games after each Buccaneers contest, Brees had over 700 yards passing with six touchdowns and only one interception combined. The Bucs secondary gave him a bit of trouble in 2016, but few other teams did.
New York Jets RB Matt Forte rushed for 419 yards and six touchdowns on the road this season while rushing for 394 yards and one touchdown at home.

He’s not the player he used to be, but there’s still some value to be had from the veteran. He’s got a $4 million cap number in 2017, but expect the Jets to find more help in the backfield.
