New Orleans Saints Prediction for This Season

Drew Brees Has More Weapons in 2018

Saints starting quarterback Drew Brees set an NFL record by completing 72% of his passes last year, totaling 4,334 yards, 8.1 yards per attempt.  He had 23 touchdowns versus 8 interceptions.

Now he gets some serious weapons.

From SI.com:

Michael Thomas is a true No. 1 receiver, capable of everything teams ask of their top playmakers. Mark Ingram and Alvin Kamara made history last season, combining for 1,852 rushing yards, 139 receptions, 1,242 receiving yards and 25 touchdowns. Cameron Meredith, Ted Ginn, Ben Watson and Tre’Quan Smith round out an offense that will be able to attack defenses in seemingly countless ways every single week. Teams will have to outscore the Saints to beat them, and that won’t be easy.
