New Orleans @ Carolina
Team Totals: Panthers 22.5, Saints 17
The Saints played league-worst offense in Tyler Shough’s first start last Sunday against the Rams, managing 40 offensive plays and a 16:07 time of possession, 13th lowest in league history. A week after losing Pro Bowl C Erik McCoy (biceps) for the year, New Orleans lost RT Taliese Fuaga (high ankle) for multiple weeks and traded away LG Trevor Penning. Tee up Carolina’s D/ST. … Continuing to look out of gas at age 30, Alvin Kamara is scoreless since Week 1 and hasn’t reached 80 yards from scrimmage since Week 2. Devin Neal has taken over the old Kendre Miller role and is also playing on third downs, helping to explain why Kamara is now barely a factor in the passing game. … Taysom Hill is averaging 8.8 snaps per game since returning from injury. … Rashid Shaheed’s departure moves Brandin Cooks into the Saints’ No. 2 receiver role and Devaughn Vele to No. 3. Chris Olave is New Orleans’ lone remaining fantasy-relevant wideout. As usual, he is a volume-driven WR2/3 with major quarterback concerns. … Juwan Johnson, who played college ball with Shough at Oregon long ago, has played at least 71% of New Orleans’ offensive snaps in every game this year. The Panthers have surrendered the league’s fifth-most yards to tight ends (582).
