vs GB
8:25 pm GMT , 9/12
The New Orleans depth chart never really changes year to year as they still rock with Drew Brees as their starting quarterback. The surrounding talent continues to be strong with Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas, but they needed more this offseason. Lacking a WR2 in previous seasons the Saints went out and grabbed veteran, Emmanuel Sanders. Adding him to a group that also includes Jared Cook, will a potent offense once again. The defense will also remain very much the same, although they will bring in Malcolm Jenkins who gives them a veteran presence in the secondary. This group will continue to be at the top of the NFC.

New Orleans Saints Depth Chart FAQ
The Saints have had a loaded depth chart over the last decade, and it starts with Drew Brees. While his days are numbered, they have put weapons around him to give the team another shot at a Super Bowl run. Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara are two of the best skill position players in football, and they added to it with Emmanuel Sanders to operate as a WR2 this season. The defense showed some weakness against the pass at times last season while the run defense was solid.

Latavius Murray is the backup running back in New Orleans. Murray has made the second half of his career a successful one backing up in Minnesota and now with the Saints. Murray isn't the receiver Kamara is but is a quality ground back.
What Is The Weakest Part Of The Saints Depth Chart?
The depth at wide receiver is a bit thin, as they barely signed Emmanuel Sanders barely this offseason. Behind him, there is only Tre'Quan Smith and Deonte Harris. Any injury occurs to the starting wide receivers, and that will be a severe loss.

There is an outside chance that Cesar Ruiz will start at right guard. The Saints offensive line is a good one, and they used an early draft pick on Ruiz to help give them some depth and potentially another starter.
