Blake Bortles will throw for 300+ yards: FACT

In case you haven’t been following them, the Saints have a truly awful defense. Here’s a fun tidbit:

QB2 is the quarterbacks who have gone up against the New Orleans Saints this year. Those are MVP-caliber numbers and quarterbacks are doing that every week. The Saints are coming off a game where they let Matthew Stafford eviscerate their secondary.

Blake Bortles is coming off one of his more rough performances of the year, not because he was bad the entire game, but in the sense that he had a few spectacularly bad plays. Besides the terrible interception at the end of the half, he missed two long touchdowns on overthrows to Julius Thomas and Allen Hurns, the second of which was a game-winner.

This week, Bortles will put up some outstanding numbers and produce for his fantasy owners. The Saints are going to have their hands full with all of the weapons on the Jacksonville offense and the Drew Brees will have to put up big numbers as well to keep up.
