#4 Drew Brees
Brees had a very successful season last year for the Saints. The team changed the offensive emphasis by utilizing a run-first approach. Alvin Kamara and Mark Ingram both had fantastic seasons, and this relieved some of the pressure on the 39-year-old Brees. He had 536 attempts, which is his lowest in a 16 game season since he joined the Saints in 2006.
It was also his lowest YPG (Yards Per Game) total over the same time period. He did complete 72% of his passes, which marked a career high. I can see opposing teams focusing more on stopping the run, which should open up the passing game even more for the highly talented Brees. I think Brees will improve on his 23TDs thrown in 2017.

The Saints have assembled a talented young squad which could go all of the way in 2018. They now have a solid defense, to go with their talented offense. Brees could lead the Saints on charge, all the way to the Super Bowl.
