New Orleans Saints

Strength – Offense

The Saints are still the class of the NFL and NFC South when it comes to offense. Drew Brees was an MVP frontrunner last season, and Alvin Kamara will rightfully see more snaps this season as one of the league’s best running backs.

Throw in the fact that an already top-ranked offensive line got even better in the offseason, and the Saints should be as potent as ever on offense.

Weakness – Pass-catching depth

Unfortunately for NFC South foes, it is difficult to identify a weakness on this Saints team in 2019. If you had to name one, you might say the Saints lack consistent, trustworthy options at wide receiver behind Michael Thomas. Most fans expected the Saints to grab a receiver in the 2019 NFL Draft, but they opted to bolster up the depth chart at other key positions.

Ted Ginn is 34 years of age and missed the majority of last season with injury. Tre’Quan Smith showed flashes of an emerging WR2 last season and needs to show more consistency to lock down the role. Right now, Jared Cook gives Drew Brees his best target behind Michael Thomas as a receiving tight end.
