The Facts:
Brees was selected the starting quarterback for the Chargers today, a move that was expected after he followed last season's miserable performance with a solid exhibition season. Doug Flutie, 41, will be the backup, and Philip Rivers, the fourth pick in April's draft, will be the third-stringer. The Chargers also will carry Cleo Lemon on the active roster.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It remains to be seen how long Brees, who was benched for five games and yanked from others last year, holds onto the job.
