Have the New Orleans Saints built a strong enough supporting cast for their next quarterback? Whether it’s Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill (or Ian Book or Trevor Siemian) starting under center, it’s fair to wonder if the Saints have assembled enough weapons to compete without Drew Brees.
Sure, Michael Thomas and Alvin Kamara are among the NFL’s best playmakers. While Thomas is an injury-plagued year away from winning Offensive Player of the Year, that same ankle issue could sideline him until after New Orleans’ bye week. Kamara made a strong case for the award himself last season and will shoulder a heavy load during Thomas’ absence.
