QUARTERBACK
Drew Brees
———Luke McCown

*Brees is coming off a mammoth season, and coach Sean Payton is back in the fold. Expect consistency here.

RUNNING BACK
Pierre Thomas
———Darren Sproles (3DB)
———Mark Ingram (GLB)
———Travaris Cadet
———Khiry Robinson

*Thomas started the regular season dress rehearsal for the Saints but is still the least appealing of the Saints’ backs.
*Sproles will catch a ton of balls in this offense, as he lines up everywhere and just makes things happen.
*Ingram should be in for an increased workload and goal line work. So long as he’s not drafted in the early rounds, he makes for an interesting late pick as Thomas is hardly the model of good health.

WIDE RECEIVER
LWR Lance Moore
———Nick Toon

RWR Marques Colston
———Kenny Stills (WR3)
———Andy Tanner

*The two starters are set and it looks like Kenny Stills has nailed down the WR3 role.
*However, given the amount of pass catchers ahead of Stills (including RB Sproles and TE Graham), he shouldn’t be a fantasy consideration at this point.

TIGHT END
Jimmy Graham
———Ben Watson
———Josh Hill

*Graham is the best receiving TE in football, and Watson is a very capable backup.

KICKER
Garrett Hartley

*Hartley is the unchallenged starter on a high-octane offense. He only got 22 FG opportunities last year, though, so take note of that.
