Saints backfield

[Dcat]

Here is the entire RB depth chart for New Orleans as of the moment:

 

1. Kamara

2. Gillislee (just acquired)

3. Zach Line (FB)

(Mark Ingram suspended for weeks 1-4)

 

I am thinking that Gillislee will be used a lot over the next 4 weeks.  Not that he's any good, but just by pure necessity.

But what if Brees just lights up the scoreboard as a passer for the first four weeks?

 

TB, CLE @ATL and @NYG. Last year vs. QB those were ranked  23, 27, 18 and 32.

 

Only the Falcons have a decent secondary of those. 

 

Saints can just revert to a heavier passing attack if needed.

That's what I'm thinking (hoping) will happen. Alvin Kamara has not touched the ball more than 20 times, rushing/receiving, in a game since college. Even in college, that only happened once. I think they will monitor his workload very closely.
