Around the NFL: Taysom Time

With Jameis Winston out for the year, New Orleans is likely turning to Taysom Hill at quarterback, and I’m intrigued. I think he could have a lot of above-average Sundays in the second half of the season.  more »

Factoid: Jameis Winston

It’s a revenge game in New Orleans. The Buccaneers drafted Jameis Winston No. 1 overall back in 2015, and kicked him to the curb after he couldn’t get things going. Now he gets to start against them for the first time.  more »

Factoid: Alvin Kamara

The Saints are using Alvin Kamara more as a runner this year. In three of their four games, he’s carried 20-plus times for 80-plus yards. But they have dialed back his role in the passing game. Substantially.  more »

Running Sean Payton's offense, there's certainly Top-12 to 15 potential. But there's also potential for him to ultimately play his way out of the lineup.   more »
