The New Orleans Saints were one win away from making the playoffs last year with a 9-8 record. They did this with four different starting quarterbacks with Jameis Winston going down for the season early, Trevor Siemian losing the starting job, Taysom Hill missing a game due to injury, and rookie Ian Book forced to step in for a game. The Saints were also without former Offensive Player of the Year WR Michael Thomas and Pro Bowl kicker Wil Lutz for the entire season. For various portions of the year, the Saints were without QB1, QB2, RB1, RB2, RB3, WR1, WR2, WR3, TE1, TE2, LT, LG, RT, DT1, DE1, DE2, DE3, LB2, CB1, CB3, Slot Corner, and Kicker.
