Minicamp tour: Will Brees miss games?

New Orleans Saints
How far is Drew Brees really back? While he's throwing 40-yard passes, it's unclear if he can practice everyday or be close to 100 percent for the start of camp. If Chad Pennington's recovery last year is any indication, 100 percent is going to take a lot longer than Brees and his agent indicated when he was a free agent. With Brees learning a new offense, I don't see the upside except as a late QB2. … If Brees does miss playing time this season, Jamie Martin and Todd Bouman will compete for the right to kill Joe Horn, Donte' Stallworth and Reggie Bush's fantasy value. … Zach Hilton, ranked in the top 15 tight ends by some outlets (not us), is currently behind Ernie Conwell on the depth chart. Hilton is not a fantasy option unless he's starting. … It's a contract year for Stallworth, which would normally be cause for optimism. But he's been slow to recover from shoulder surgery this off-season and has butted heads with the new coaching staff. They have tried to deal him, and it'd be a shock if he was back in 2007. His job would be in jeopardy, but the Saints have absolutely no options to replace him. Chris Horn is currently next on the depth chart, and third-year pro Devery Henderson hasn't panned out. … For IDP leaguers, Alfred Fincher is a sleeper if he keeps his starting middle linebacker job. At safety, it's a seven-way scrum for snaps, where no one appears safe, except Josh Bullocks. … Deuce McAllister practiced at minicamp, a good sign he'll be close to 100 percent recovered from his torn ACL in training camp. He hasn't cut hard on the knee yet and is likely to be limited in carries this season with Bush around.

Rising: Bush – Healthy minicamp season and slow-to-recover McAllister are plusses
Falling: Stallworth – Coaching change could be bad news for him

I don't know how credible this guy is. Sounds like a bunch of junk.
